Thanks to Kyle and Ron for teasing us with yet more tidbits!  ;D

Things to note from the new trailer:

    New mouse pointer - a little black goo with a trail!

    Giant Red goo features in more than one level - possibly this giant goo IS "Little Miss World of Goo" and she has to be escorted through the chapter?

    New orange and black goos - the mouse pointer does not affect them at all, so possibly these are uncontrollable goos?

    More albino goo, as seen in chapter 1

    Giant orange goo, possibly another contender for the "Little Miss World of Goo" crown?

    Flames feature wherever we see red goo - are these flameproof? Temporarily?

    New transparent (or in one clip, yellow?) goo - these can form SINGLE links and effectively create a long chain!

    Skull/Dead goo. Not quite sure why.

    Light, cherry red goos also appear to be able to form single links...

    There's also some big sleeping grey goos, that look a bit like sea mines...maybe they have to be transported (a la Little Miss Goos) in order to clear obstacles?


Good gad I'm getting excited now!  :D

I think the 'new' mouse pointer is because thats the Wii trailer, not the pc version, but apart from that;
SMEGGIN AWESOME!

The early part of that trailer has the mosti inspiring game trailer music i have ever heard. And the end is suitable disturbing.

It looks like the 2dBoys have really pulled this one off with flair...

Yes, I think you're probably right about the pointer - still, would be a nice touch to the PC version as well!

And yes - the music is awesome. Fingers crossed and we might just get another wicked remix like the music from the first video!

Thanks guys :) We made the pointer for the Wii version, and kind of liked it, so we're using it on PC as well.

Any estimates on a release date yet?

Forgive my shameless noobery, but wicked remix? Ooh! Where?

There is just too much awesome in that video. The  big-head transport level looks like crazy fun. I have to say, though I'm not a huge fan of the new pointer. Can we have an option to turn it off?

I'm curious to see what the orange ones do...
Now that I have had time to look at the trailer several hundred times, I have to comment on it!

Looks absolutely amazing- the only thing that I didn't like much was the Little Miss World of Goo levels.  A lot of them seemed kind of boring- just orange skies and silhouetted objects in the foreground, Maybe you guys could add some more details to it so the environment is more stimulating. 
Is there any way that we could get a hi-resolution version of it (like, 1280x720)?  I would love to see it with more detail, to quench my appetite for now.

Flashbulb Goo, woo!.. and is it just me or do those red goo balls look very much like matchsticks?  Especially with flames licking up the structure like that.

I see the yellow sticky goo balls that Kyle alluded to in the 'Goo Ball Suggestions' thread are in the trailer too, as well as the concept of wrapping a chain of goo balls around a cog that Dracolich suggested in the same thread.  Superb.

Personally I think the idea of making a trailer for the Nintendo WiiWare Press Day is a diversion from the real reason - Kyle just wants us to squirm while we wait for the full release.  ;)

Right, look on the trailer, and about halfway you'll see a structure made of albino and red goos. You will also see the red goos on fire,  and apparently making the rest of the tower self destruct. They seem to act like sawblades built in to the tower...

O.o

Re: NEW TRAILER! MORE GOO-DNESS! SPECULATION HERE!t104/15/2008 - 13:09

Yep, they seem to have caught alight due to the flames below.

That level must be a bridge building exercise again, but with a twist - if you get too close to the flames below, your structure will catch on fire.  Nasty!  ;D

The hand flinging the Goo structure at 0:53 looks pretty wacky too, one of the goo balls seems to explode on contact with (the pipe?).

Carp, the link to the remix of the original is here:

E!

Also - Ron said in a recent interview that the release date is looking to be around July  :( Well I suppose it works for me, will reduce distraction from my exams, but still...July?!  :-[

Yay for the new mouse pointer! I like it, adds character to te game, and it looks perfick for the Wii version if I say so myself  ;)
