Edmund posted some hours ago what details and content the remake will feature
however nothing its set on stone and its subject to change

Clicky

-The remake will feature LOCAL 2 player co-op… no online play because that will just extend the release by another forever. <--- Heavily asked on steam forums

Interesting o_o'', I don't think anyone I know will play locally with me though xD

P.S: I'll definitely get this on the VITA :P

I'm looking forward to the Vita version too!

Why does everything have to have co-op or online play? I'd rather devs spend their time making single player even more awesome.

Agreed. More character, more items, more dungeons. More half developed Fetus writhing in pain spitting blood.

Are you implying that's not what's going on and that co-op isnt a 3 minute effort?

I think he meant that some devs worry about multiplayer content more than the actual game itself. Thus making the game less enjoyable, but the multiplayer would be pretty popular.

Given the quality of this game so far, I'm not worried about the inclusion of multiplayer. It sounds like they're adding extra time to do the multiplayer, not taking away time from single player development.

In general, I agree with you. There are a few exceptions, but usually I feel the exact same way

This will be a brand new game,flash version is limited so BoI is getting a fresh new start. Steam version(the one we have now its "finished"),you will have to pay to get the remake

Ooo, Rayman Origins has local coop? Awesome, I'll have to get that some time. A shame Scott Pilgrim isn't on PC, I'd totally get it in a heartbeat.

I wish all PC games had co-op honestly or some sort of split screen....

Borderlands doesn't have split screen, what kind of crap is that seriously.

Has he said if the PC version will support only Windows or Linux and Mac OS X too?

I will anyway buy the game and hope that current owners will get a discount on it (like the Basement Collection).

A Vita version would be an argument more for me to buy the console.

Edit: Can someone explain me what "The game will be getting a full 16bit make over" means?

The game will be getting a full 16bit make over, im doing this because i think the art is tired and im sick of looking at it. i think a fresh coat of paint is needed and i think its kinda appropriate/funny to do a damake for the remake.

My interest just dropped considerably.

Mine increased honestly, I love pixel games.

That really means that it will be a pixel game? There are so many games with "retro" graphics available, I really start to think that "we make pixel art" is just an excuse for "we are too lazy to make new graphics".

If we go past pixel art, we'll have to start creating models, meshes and skins for a lot of objects. The amount of time required to do this, let alone learn and master the programs could take some time. Not only that, but you could be spending more on these licenses than you are for any other piece of software you're using.

With that said, I don't understand the "lazy" part nor do I think people are reusing sprites. Pixel art requires more artistic sense in my opinion as you don't have as many tools to rely on for after effects.

I'll take pixel art anyday over low polygon models from N64 or PSX

Pixel art is nice, but there are really too much indie games that use it. I think on normal graphics artists can do more finer things, on pixel art you put one color pixel next to another one (thats much easier). On pixel art you have much more tolerance and don't have to care about small details.

I would also rather like to see pixel art than N64 graphics but we live in 2012 and especially sprites for 2D games are not difficult to make with a graphic tablet.

But you get ugly pixel art like Teleglitch and a lighting system that makes it stand out even more.

I do not agree.

I don't know the exact term, but if you keep the same area of the grid while increasing the number of vertical and horizontal splices, it'd become a lot more "fine".

(Rather than a 4x4 built from 16 squares, you'd make a 4x4 built from 64 squares which are 1/4 smaller than the original squares)

I thought it was console only when I first saw it reported this morning.

Good to know it'll be on PC as well.

Nicalis is handling it. That is BAD.
It will never come out.

If it does, well, then I will get it again. That's how much I like binding of Isaac. And I would gladly get it on consoles as well.

The remake will feature all the content featured in BOI+Wrath but will also feature another Wrath sized expansion over the top that will feature a new final chapter, ending, 2 new playable characters and tons more items, rooms, enemies, bosses and the like. the goal will be to make replaying the whole game not only worth it but also make i so it feels very fresh and new.

-The remake will feature content that was removed from the flash version of the game due to limitations (secret stuff!)

can't wait!
