Nice scenery, but why does all the gameplay involve crates?

Splendidly splendid. Jolly good what what. I would rather enjoy partaking in this electronic entertainment venture.

I can only echo my post when RPS first wrote about this:

“Well that looks splendid.”

This looks amazing! I can’t wait to give this a play. I’ve always enjoyed the using of different characters with different skill sets puzzle games (Lemmings, 3 Lost Vikings, etc) and this looks great. I hope playing it by yourself is fulfilling and not annoying, however.

I have my main game box (downstairs) hooked up to my 32″ HDTV (upstairs) using just a long HDMI – DVI Cable, a 1/8″ long audio cable and a USB extension (leading to a hub upstairs). Works beautifully and it allows me to play anything the wife wants to watch or anything I’d rather stare at a bigger screen while holding the 360 controller. Works like a champ.

I have an HDTV, and if I get this for the PS3, it will of course be excellent to have local coop (that is, in fact, also the way I prefer to have coop play on console). But my PC is utterly impractical to hook up to the TV (though said TV does support it) and while I now have a lovely 19″ widescreen LCD monitor for my PC, that still doesn’t make it practical to play same-system coop on. It’s due to the spatial arrangement of my apartment, and there’s nothing I can do about that.

I love when people complain about a lack of online play as if it’s something that you just blow a whistle and it magically appears. If your game was never built with networking code in mind, it’s not something trivial to just toss in (and have work well). And when you’re game involves physics and precision platforming timing, it’s all the more trouble.

Also we have a nice computer hooked up to a 1080p TV with any number of input devices easily accessible, so not too worried about that anyways =D.

Most good HDTVs have a VGA input, and work straight-up as monitors. My cheap (sub-£200) goes up to 1360 x 768 (or whatever the 16:9 equivalent is), which is perfectly acceptable. If I wanted, I could just move the PC over to the TV, plug in a couple of wired (I don’t have one of the wireless adaptors yet) 360 pads and voila – instant PC sofa gaming.

Making a TV/couch friendly PC would make an EXCELLENT article in the future.

Does RPS have any techie inclined peeps, or shall a reader step forth with their special word science?

Just reminding you people that this is primarily a PS3 game, where the nasty complexities of wrangling physics-friendly netcode into a game aren’t nearly as much of an issue.

I’d also like to point out that thanks to these wonderful technologies called ‘USB’ and ‘Bluetooth’, you can plug extra controllers into a PC. Just get a couple of beanbags and (assuming your monitor isn’t a tiny dinky little thing) have fun there.

Gamepads are cheap, and it really is nice to just sit down with friends and play something together.

Man, I don’t care about the lack of online co-op – this game looks absolutely mesmerising to explore and progress through. Music, setting, animations… they all appeal to me. Three great characters (can’t decide which one was my favourite), and the levels themselves looked… wow.

Colour me absolutely infatuated.

The music is delightful!

The first trailer for Trine had me whistling the background score for a month- I hope there’s more to come.
