Hatty looks like he's going to be an awesome bad guy.

Indeed, the thus far story really surprised me, I was not expecting it to be a collection of on-stage plays or whatever.

i hope there are references to Castle Crashers and Alien Hominid in it.

Like maybe one of the knights are an unlock-able character.

Yeah, and the Nazi-styled Guard cat really made me laugh. I hope the narrative becomes really epic because the art that we've seen so far looks amazing and it would be nice to see the story compliment that.

Also, I hope this still becomes a complete 4-player affair in the end. As we speak now, it looks to be just a one-on-one game.

To be honest, when has a Behemoth game really ever had a story beyond "save the princess" or "Kill all of the bad guys"?

They have also only made two games..

Wrong

While The Behemoth as a company has made two games (four if you include Alien Hominid the flash version which Dan and Tom worked on and Alien Hominid on GC), Tom has made several games, msotly revolving around killing enemies with no real plot in mind.

I'm very upset with this game. After the success that is castle crashers I thought this would beat it. It just looks boring, and unoriginal.

Unoriginal? I have never heard of a platformr with this kind gameplay or story?

If that dosen't work.... BattleBlock Theater Opening Cutscene

**To put it simply: Stamper's voice acting is reason enough for me to get this game. With the co-op / competitive online play.... it's gonna be awesome!

I've been following the Dev blog since the game was announced around the time Castle Crashers was announced for ps3. I can't wait to play it since Tom always delivers and I love Dan's artwork as well as his kickass last name.

I know I'm going to get huge flak for this but I think BBT looks pretty bad. Probably it's just the gameplay doesn't appeal to me, so I firmly believe I will not be picking it up when it comes out.

Today The Behemoth announced they still need time for the game. While I'm bummed about that, I did read one interesting fact. Apparently Castle Crashers was originally in development for the Gamecube.

I've been following it since announcement also. I remember when it was supposed to release in 2010. I was so disappointed.

That's proper gay man.

But I'd still have them take their time and receive a game with everything it should and far fewer bugs.

And we're still waiting...

I'm betting we'll be able to play the game by this time next year. Any takers?

Looks like I was right. It's nice to be able to say that we can finally play this game!

Anyone want to play with me? I'm PuddinN64 on XBLA and I have the Chicken Toucher Achievement, so if you need it, play with me and you can get it! I'd love to do some of the co-op segments with cool NG people! PM me on here or on the Xbox!

I'd love to play online. I feel like doing some achievement hoarding.
