"I want to create something with permanence; something that will remain in the hearts of the group of people I made the game for; something for those who are starving for a new experience; something that will stay fresh and unique ten years after its release; something that uses graphics and sound to leave a mark in the minds of players; something that doesn't look like any other game -- that's what I want to create."

-Yukio Futatsugi in 2005, while developing Phantom Dust.

Honestly... when I was playing D4 I had no idea what was going on half the time. Like the frozen part. 

I mean I got the main point of the story, but some of the symbolism confused me. I got that at the end of the game that sequence with him on the bench was what was shown earlier with the ducks, but I don't get what the point of that was (the frozen surface part with David). Maybe to show how fragile life is, or loss of innocence. idk, lol. 

If it's anything like D4 in the story (I doubt it would be that crazy), I'll probably enjoy it. 

Edit: What really sticks with me about D4 was that it was something completely different from what I've played. It's those new experiences is what makes this whole next gen thing worth while to me. That's just my two cents.

Yeah I've seen nothing but praise for it. Seems like a really niche game that isn't going to sell alot and is loved by everyone who played it ala D4. I'll wait til they show more (any) footage before making up my mind.

I've seen the trailer for Phantom Dust awhile back and looks like it would be on my list of games to get so far. You think the units sold would be similiar to SO?

I wonder if that section was even symbolism. My theory is that Little Peggy is trapped in time, trapped on the day that the frozen pond cracked and she fell in. I think when David gained the power to time travel that day that she was killed and he was badly injured, she was trapped in time somehow. I think that's why the younger version of Peggy in the frozen section recognized David's name when he told her, she's trapped as a kid but some of her adult memories of David still exist.  What I want to know is why her step-father has the same eyes as David, can he time travel too (the time travel power seems to be linked to David's eyes)? Was he experimenting on Peggy somehow and that was what caused all of these time powers? And how does the giant slow-talking doctor fit into the story? Can't wait for the next episode. 

I haven't played the game yet I'm just typing in spoilers because everyone else is

Quite alot lower Imo, do we even know its getting a physical release? Sunsets numbers are good Imo, the studios fanbase is primarily on playstation, its a brand new ip what's it at 700k? (I think I read somewhere, in here probably) Those are good numbers. If somehow PD did close to that or even half then id call that a success after hearing what type of mish mash game it is.

I have no idea if it's going to be an Indie or not. Yeah last update it showed SO has almost 740k. Next update will have my purchase added. But yeah if they could do that or more as a new IP it would be great :)

Btw I haven't played PD on the original Xbox but since that was on disc I assume the new one will be too.

I started Max, I like it. Nothing extraordinary but so far enjoyable.

Ps: Achievements wise it seems kinda easy, I will try 100% on this one.

You think Insomniac is gonna end up having SO 2 as a multiplat?

I doubt it, MS supported the game when no other publisher would. It has already outsold several Playstation exclusive Ratchet and Clank games and is on track to surpass some more of them lifetime. I think Insomniac is probably pretty happy with how well SO is doing on Xbox One.  

It would be nice to see the 2nd one go exclusive again. It reminded me when ME was Xbox exclusive than the 2nd one went to PS3 as well. So I ended up thinking SO 2 would end up doing the same.
