The first part, showing the city and the house, looks really dark, for sure …

Wow that looks great. Really loving the backdrop artwork.

And is my monitor broke, or did 1up just tint the interview footage really dark? :P

Thanks for the clarification, Jonathan.

There will be a PC version. It’ll come after the XBLA version, but the reason is not any kind of exclusivity agreement. It’s just that it’s easier to focus on one platform at a time to make sure the game runs well there.

The web site doesn’t say this, just because I haven’t been very tenacious about updating that part of the site.

I also heard that there’s a limited time thing from going on XBoxLive Arcade and going onto other formats, which is something I have to dig into and find if it’s true.

I won’t be holding my breath.

A bad idea with game development in general ;)

That’s what they said about Everyday Shooter though. I won’t be holding my breath.

Last I heard, he wants to do a PC version once the XBLA version is done, but no ETA.

PC later.

That I’ve been playing a preview version probably suggests it’ll come.

I thought this wasn’t coming to PC anymore. Looking at the main site.

“Braid is scheduled for release on Xbox Live Arcade in early 2008.”

@Theory

Nah, there’s at least one over at his site. Part of one of his early lectures. GDC and Freeplay I think.
I haven’t had a chance to watch the 1up thing but Braid looked excellent back then. Those fields and the effects of manipulating time…Something special.

I’m not sure there’s anything I’m quite as excited about as this.

Easily the most hotly anticipated game of this morning, no doubt enhanced by the look, feel and sound of the devs.

Are they… spongy?
