Portal's turrets find their way into Bastion on Steam
Really, we shouldn't be shocked at this point when it comes to elements of Portal seeping into indie games. Even so, I can't help but find this footage of Portal's turrets in Supergiant Games' Bastion to be absolutely delightful. And I'm one of those guys who gets beyond irritated at the overuse of Portal jokes. The skill that allows you to drop turrets is exclusive to the PC version of Bastion, reportedly unlocked upon starting up a new game plus. Serious props to Supergiant for the handling and continued support of this release. You just don't see that often enough, smaller studios or otherwise. This is not a test: Portal turrets light up Bastion via Steam [Joystiq] Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I was really surprised when I used the special move and a freakin turret popped out. Good stuff, good game. This only increases the awesomeness that is Bastion, the game is absolutely incredible! Yay, Supergiant Games!! :D Am I the only one on his knees, praying to the merciful video game gods that we xbox's get this in a dlc one day? D: One of the most amazing experiences that game was for me. Indeed worth more than I paid. Following this studio since I've finished the game. Double dipping on this. Want it on my laptop too (have the 360 ver). Hope they release it on Vita or 3DS as well. A 3ds version with good 3d would be super sweet. 2:30 PM on 05.23.2013 Mech game Heavy Gear Assault gets a KickstarterDeveloper Stompy Bot Productions has launched a Kickstarter for a new mech game called Heavy Gear Assault, based on the popular Heavy Gear franchise.
