Linus Tech tips coverage of PS 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel

00:00:04.600 --> 00:00:09.760
and steel series hey guys we're here at the super giant games Booth to check out

00:00:08.080 --> 00:00:14.080
their new game transistor if you guys have watched the live stream much you guys probably know that I'm a huge fan

00:00:12.599 --> 00:00:17.240
of Bastion as I've recommended it multiple times uh especially during the

00:00:16.000 --> 00:00:24.680
Steam summer sale when it was super cheap so no problem no

00:00:21.320 --> 00:00:26.279
problem um so transistor is not basan 2

00:00:24.680 --> 00:00:31.599
it is its own game entirely what else can you tell me about transistor the transistor is the new science fiction

00:00:29.199 --> 00:00:35.079
themed action PG from uh super giant games the creators of Bastion uh we have

00:00:33.440 --> 00:00:40.320
the whole team back together again to to work on this next project with a handful

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.559
uh new people um and it sort of features

00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:47.920
uh you know Rich hand painted world it's like a beautiful uh sort of city uh and

00:00:46.160 --> 00:00:52.719
it has a new protagonist red our main character uh we also have uh the voice

00:00:50.520 --> 00:00:57.800
of Logan Cunningham who was the narrator uh uh of character of ruxs in Bastion

00:00:55.559 --> 00:01:01.559
back as a as a different character as the voice coming from the transistor uh

00:01:00.160 --> 00:01:05.159
interacting with red throughout our journey the game is a little bit more

00:01:03.399 --> 00:01:08.560
tactical a little bit more strategic you can pause the game at any time and sort

00:01:06.720 --> 00:01:11.159
of issue a bunch of commands and you know undo them and figure out what you

00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:14.400
want to do and then execute them and see how they all turn out so it's a sort of

00:01:13.040 --> 00:01:18.479
you know strategic game but within a more immediate and real-time feel that's

00:01:16.680 --> 00:01:21.600
cool he mentioned RX or the narrator from basian and that's a really big

00:01:20.320 --> 00:01:25.960
point because they're bringing back stuff like uh audio that the the the

00:01:24.720 --> 00:01:29.400
music that they had in the previous game was so good and very very well known I

00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:34.640
have I bought the soundtrack and listened to it actively even though I beat the game a long time ago and their

00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:38.640
narrator people like him so much they're buying audio packs for Dota 2 so they

00:01:36.799 --> 00:01:42.520
can listen to him while they play Dota 2 so bringing these elements back it's a

00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:46.520
really good idea because it makes such a complete game and while this isn't basan

00:01:44.680 --> 00:01:49.880
2 you can definitely see influences so if you're a fan of Bastion I'd highly

00:01:48.320 --> 00:01:52.640
recommend playing it is there any like what's your favorite part about the game

00:01:51.600 --> 00:01:56.640
uh my favorite part about the game is probably music so like Darren uh Darren

00:01:55.360 --> 00:02:00.560
is my longtime friend I've known him since I was like 8 years old or something like that uh and he's a

00:01:59.399 --> 00:02:04.759
composer for for the game he did all the music for Bastion uh and you know the

00:02:03.280 --> 00:02:09.239
first work he did was stunning it like won BGA and stuff and it was super cool

00:02:06.960 --> 00:02:12.959
for me as his friend that that happened uh and then to see him sort of like

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:16.200
outdo himself on the subsequent game has been really really awesome so uh

00:02:14.640 --> 00:02:20.120
definitely a big fan of of of the music of the game among the many things that

00:02:17.959 --> 00:02:23.319
that I enjoy about it yeah yeah now I don't want any spoilers but what can you

00:02:22.080 --> 00:02:26.400
tell me about the storyline in transistor I mean so I can sort of tell

00:02:25.200 --> 00:02:31.800
you a little bit of what we're showing here it's just you know uh you come into

00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:37.440
the uh into the into the game Into The Experience uh uh the character red is

00:02:34.560 --> 00:02:42.280
there and uh she's got the transistor uh and she hears a voice coming from it uh

00:02:39.599 --> 00:02:45.959
basically urging her to get away from uh this sort of mysterious Force that's

00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:49.760
pursuing her at every turn uh through the city and I don't want to give away

00:02:47.560 --> 00:02:53.720
too much but uh but basically what we have here is the introduction of that of

00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:58.440
the of the sort of forces of antagonism that are that are trying to uh lock red

00:02:55.599 --> 00:03:02.000
down and and uh and you know the introduction to the game game play

00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:06.120
mechanics the transistor itself uh all its secrets and Mysteries and powers

00:03:03.640 --> 00:03:10.440
that we sort of let you uh unlock and wield over the course of the game cool

00:03:08.200 --> 00:03:13.680
cool and I know basan was on quite a few platforms so what platforms are people

00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:19.959
going to be able to buy transistor on so transistor will launch uh on the PS4 and

00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:21.560
PC via Steam and our website cool cool

00:03:19.959 --> 00:03:25.400
uh do you have a release date for it uh it's early next year yeah we we don't

00:03:23.159 --> 00:03:28.400
have a date yet I wish I knew but uh we're still working on it um it's got a

00:03:26.920 --> 00:03:31.439
little bit way a little bit ways to go so so yeah but it'll be there next year

00:03:29.959 --> 00:03:34.599
early next year yeah I'm actually happy to hear that because very locked down

00:03:33.120 --> 00:03:40.799
release dates are often not a good thing I'd rather it was released when it was ready yeah no for us that's a big deal

00:03:37.760 --> 00:03:42.319
it's very important so yeah yeah yeah uh
