First Runner 2 Screen Released

First Runner 2 Screen Released

Showing the move from 2D to 3D

Written by Lexual on 06 January 12 at 14:09

Back in October, Gaijin Games announced Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, the sequel to the arcade-style rhythm game, Bit.Trip Runner, originally released on WiiWare for the Nintendo Wii. Gaijin Games has today released their first screenshot of Runner 2, showcasing the game’s new art style.

Gaijin Games have stated that this is a rough draft of the art that will be in the final game, hence the various non textured items, place holder items, and floating rocks. Even so, the new image shows how the game has transitioned from 2D to 3D and what we can expect when the game is released.

Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien is due to be released on Xbox LIVE Arcade sometime in early 2012.

Hopefully an extra for the game will be all of the previous games bundled with it as bonus unlocks!

Hmm...this is new to me. If any type of rhythm is involved, count me in.

Unsure of this one, at least there should be a trial since it is for the xbla.

The screenshot for this doesn't look enticing, but I'll have to keep an eye out for a video it seems. Since their previous games, even if I didn't play them much, were fun.

Loved all of Gaijin's games on the Wii - they were, in fact, the only Wiiware titles I ever purchased! Definitely looking forward to this.

Thanks for the post Lexual but I am unsure why Gaijin would release an unfinished screen shot? Sure it shows the move from 2D to 3D but it looks terrible! Odd move indeed.

Looks like a Indy game, I could design, build something similar but I'd be disappointed if this was what got released.

Neko Pounce - Holy shit. It's been over a year since I got an achievement. That's a little saddening.

Do people not realise Bit-Trip Runner was a total indie game on steam and other places? Don't expect a freaking metrical.

Personally, I can't wait.
