Linus tech tips coverage of Pax 2013 is brought to you by Western Digital Intel and SteelSeries hey guys we're here at the supergiant games the boost to check out their new game transistor if you guys have watched the livestream much you guys probably know that I'm a huge fan of Bastion as I've recommended it multiple times especially during the steam summer sale when it was super cheap so no problem no bro so transistor is not basking too it is its own game entirely what else can you tell me about transistor transistor is the news science fiction themed action RPG from supergiant games that creators of Bastion we have the whole team back together again to work on this next project with a handful new people and it sort of features you know rich hand-painted world it's like a beautiful sort of city and it has a new protagonist red our main character we also have the voice of Logan Cunningham who was the narrator of character bucks in Bastion back as as a different character as the voice coming from the transistor interacting with red throughout her journey the game is a little bit more tactical a little bit more strategic you can pause the game at any time and sort of issue a bunch of commands and you know undo them and figure out what you wanted to do and then execute them and see how they all turn out so it's sort of you know strategic game but within a more immediate and real-time feel that's cool he mentioned rucks or the narrator from Bastion and that's a really big point because they're bringing back stuff like audio the the the music that they had in the previous game was so good and very very well known I have I bought the soundtrack and listened to it actively even though I beat the game a long time ago and their narrator people like him so much they're buying audio packs for dota 2 so they can listen to him while they play dota 2 so bringing these elements back it's a really good idea because it makes such a complete game and while this isn't Bastion - you can definitely see influences so if you're a fan of Bastion I'd highly recommend playing it is there any like what's your favorite part about the game my favorite part about the game is private music so like daran daran is my longtime friend I've known him since I was like 8 years old or something like that and he's a composer for the game he did all the music for Bastion and you know the first word he did was stunning and like one BGA's and stuff and it was super cool for me as his friend that that happened and then to see him sort of like outdo himself on the subs a game has been really really awesome so I definitely a big fan of music of the game among the many things that I enjoy about it yeah yeah now I don't want any spoilers but what can you tell me about the storyline in transistor I mean so I can sort of tell you a little bit of what we're showing here it's just you know you come into the into the into the game into the experience the character read is there and she's got the transistor and she hears the voice coming from it basically urging her to get away from this sort of mysterious force that's pursuing her at every turn through the city and I don't want to give away too much but but basically what we have here is the introduction of that of the of the sort of forces of antagonism that are that are trying to lock right down and and and you know the introduction of the game gameplay mechanics the transistor itself all its secrets and mysteries and powers that we sort of let you unlock and wield over the course of the game cool cool and I know Bastien was on quite a few platforms so what platforms are people gonna be able to buy transistor on transistor will launch on the ps4 and PC via Steam in our website cool cool do you have a release date for it it's early next year yeah we don't have a date yet I wish I knew but we're still working on it it's got a little bit a little bit ways to go so so yeah but it'll be there next year really next year yeah I'm actually happy to hear that because very locked down release dates are often not a good thing I'd rather it was released when it was ready it's very important so yeah thank you for watching our supergiant games booth thank you for watching transistor you want to see all of our pax content be sure to subscribe to Alanis tech tips
