What's next for Insomniac Games? Well, according to the video they uploaded today, they'll announce their latest game on January 28th, at 8:30AM CT. The teaser shows detailed 2D art of underwater locations, and ends with "Dive Deeper".

a whole Underwater Crash Level!? oh God :S looks good, thanks, but no, thanks, how did someone base a game on "underwater levels", they are the worst since Mario

So basically there is no reason why this shouldn't also be released on the Wii U...

Insomniac Games hasn't released any titles on any Nintendo platform, I doubt they'll start now. Especially when the Wii U is a dying, if not already dead, console with a successor most likely a year away.

Damn I was too slow to be the first to make a snide remark about an entirely underwater game being a fantastic idea.

 

[Issac]

Oh, won't be a game for me. Underwater levels freak me out, giving me very claustrophobic feelings... Apart from that I don't mind them actually, if they're made well. (Super Mario World has good ones, for example).

Song of the Deep. Underwater metroidvania-style action-adventure out for PC and consoles this summer.

Looks alright. In terms of Metroidvanias I still have Axiom Verge and my free copy of Shadow Complex to play. Galak-Z probably has pretty similar controls, too, and I prefer the action-roguelike style of it. Plus space > underwater.

Maybe I'll buy it when it's on sale for $5 or less, but I don't like that Gamestop is publishing stuff now.

Looks decent enough, the art style is perfect for this kind of game.

The video gave me a kind of amiga shmup but done in 2016 feeling, I could have fun with that if done well.
Then again I said the same about beat em ups and I still have to go back to streets of rage rather than find something on XBLA.

They could do better than that. I've thrown together a basic 3D platformer engine... but whatever floats their sub. I'm staying on the shore for this one. (Also, published by gamestop, what?)

If netflix and amazon can make TV shows...

Then I still want Gamestop nowhere near a publishing role. We've already got EA for excellence in publishing assholery.

To me it looks absolutely gorgeous, and I love the music and the theme. Anyone else have an opinion?

I'm thinking that it's well worth a look into when it gets released. By GameStop. Who is... publishing it...

 

[spotanjo3]

It is easy to be able to port to Wii U. Well, I will pass. Not interested.

 

[DarkCoffe64]

So, it's pretty much Aquaria with a sub?
Still, it could be good.

Good point (though I didn't even know that, I don't keep up with TV lately). I need to stop living under a rock lol.

This game looks right up my alley!
and for $15 you can't beat that!
Will download for our Xbox One the day it comes out
