Gaijin Games Releases BIT.TRIP Teaser

Commander Video is a shifty one!

Commander Video is a shifty one!

Can you figure this one out?

Gaijin Games has dropped off another coded message via this months Nintendo Power magazine for gamers to begin speculating about.

You can check out the message below to see if you can make heads or tails of it. Those guys at Gaijin Games sure like to play with our heads, don't they? :D

11
MOVETOTHEBEAT1-LEARNABOUTTHECORE1-CONTROLSPACE1
11
....
...
11RUN1-ENJOY1-GRAVITATEBACKTOTHEEATHER1-UNLOCKTHEFUTURE11

We don't have a clue what any of that means, but if you look at the pattern on the top line, it would lead you to BIT.TRIP SPACE. After that we couldn't tell you anything else.

Can you figure it out?

I would actually like to see something "not Bit Trip" from Gaijin for once. I know these games aren't for me really, but I'm getting fed up with seeing them.

Well then you should be really fed up by the time this saga finishes up, since there will be four more. LOL

I have no idea what this could mean but I would like to see Commander Video take on Doc Louis!:D

i can't complete bit trip beat's third level, it'll take me too much time to get good enough to do it... and maybe i'm getting old but if i play it for too long it gives me a headache...
that said i'm looking forward to CORE :)
As for the coded message maybe "run" = BEAT, "enjoy" = CORE, "gravitatebacktotheeather" = SPACE (scientists used to use the word 'æther' to describe what space is filled with...) and perhaps "unlockthefuture" is a hint at the 4th title... probably not but i can't think of anything else.

Bit.Trip: Zero. I'm calling it now. I don't think Space will be the name of the third game...but I'm sure it is relevant somehow...

BIT.TRIP SPOGS. Definetely.

Wha-? Who?! Some odd bitforce took control of me and I went on a strange trip... Hmm... Yup, Bit.Trip Control! :D

By now your eyes should be burning by the randomness of this message. I end it here and laugh hysterically. It is the mindgame of Gaijin Games.

16. zranoll United States 15 Jul 2009, 14:40 BST

i think zero might be right but i cant help but think the game should start with a d, it will should also be four letters which is why i agree with zero

Bit. Trip Space....it somehow unlocks the future if we control it, I think. :)

Machu

19. Machu United Kingdom 15 Jul 2009, 14:53 BST

These guys ROCK! I'm still dying to fly my sweaty wiimote into the Core.

The only thing I got from the riddle is that you could be fighting gravity, and if you drop too low you enter the bad place, or if you get to the top you transcend and... unlock the future (next level)?
I have no idea, but can't wait to find out.

20. FroguinZX United States 15 Jul 2009, 15:48 BST

Yeah, this further solidifies my guess we'll get something like BIT.TRIP TWIST or along the lines of it.

22. Vendetta United States 15 Jul 2009, 17:40 BST

They mentioned exploring the different control schemes offered by the Wii remote, if I recall correctly. Well they've used rolling the control (Beat) and D-pad and buttons (Core) but they've not done any real motion or swing controls yet. The MOVETOTHEBEAT command makes me think it's going to have something to do with well... you know, moving to the beat. I'd buy it.

Dazza

26. Dazza United Kingdom 15 Jul 2009, 19:19 BST

@Vendetta - Yeah I think you are right. Perhaps something like Helix or Muscle March with a retro vibe might be what CommanderVideo has in store for his third outing? I can't wait!

Turkey Brutus

27. Turkey Brutus United States 15 Jul 2009, 19:34 BST

Dazza, did you really suggest that Bit.Trip might follow in the footsteps of Muscle March?

Commander Video in a speedo?

34. briunj04 United States 16 Jul 2009, 01:52 BST

i think i might know.
based on the interview with gaijin games, they said that they like to experiment with different remote styles. move to the beat implies that you will be moving the wiimote. second it says learn about the core. that implies that you will be using the core again and it will have different functions.. finally control space means you will be able to move unlike in core where you were cemented in your spot.

Sounds like a platformer to me.

Turkey Brutus

36. Turkey Brutus United States 16 Jul 2009, 02:52 BST

I do think we'll get a platformer, but I think it's too soon in the series. I'm thinking it'll be circular based. What was that game for the Atari Jaguar, where there's a big circle on the screen, and you move your ship along the outside of the circle, firing inward at approaching enemies?

That's what I'm thinking. It'd fit my "Zero" guess, too (the shape of the circle), and might be a nice next step in the series.

That's my guess. Based on (almost) nothing.

Bit.Trip Halo

Crazed

38. Crazed United States 16 Jul 2009, 05:59 BST

I'm thinking that the next game would look alot like Geometry Wars: Galaxies, but instead of shooting shapes, you run into beats. The game would be cursor based, and you would be able to stop time (which, in a way, would be like going to the future.)

Bit Trip Space

Jockolantern

39. Jockolantern United States 16 Jul 2009, 13:48 BST

Whatever the next Bit.Trip game is, I know I can't freaking wait to play it. The crew at Gaijin games are fast becoming the coolest WiiWare service developers ever. I think only Nicalis will be able to give them a run for their money in the long run. The thought of a Bit.Trip-based platformer gets me very weak in the loins, if you know what I mean. ^_~ Knowing Gaijin, it's going to be nothing short of brilliant, original and addictive. Curse you and your infectious beat, Exploration!

Its a platformer game. I know it is.
Bit Trip Jump?

briunj04

43. briunj04 United States 16 Jul 2009, 19:44 BST

why would it be a platformer when the first two games were nothing like that?

DaVeMaN99

44. DaVeMaN99 Canada 16 Jul 2009, 20:33 BST

Because they said one of the games might be a platformer. And each game is unique are different genres.
