A Hat in Time hype thread

The game seems pretty neat, but I can't support Mecha the Slag. Slag him

Fixed that for you.

But seriously, I also have a hard time wanting to even go close to this game, considering his past (stuff beyond just MaxOfS2D). It really is a shame since the game does look appealing.

Anyway, I was going to bring it up the moment I saw this topic, but I didn't know if it would cause a flame war or not.

Doubt it'd have been too much of an issue, considering the opinion on Mecha's relatively unanimous.

@Koopaul: I do have to say, it's neat that Grant does stuff like this. I believe he's also doing a piece for Mother 4.

I'm... speechless... XD. I can't believe Grant Kirkhope is so involved in the indie/fangame group. It's a miracle.

Anyways, although Mecha is working on this game, I feel like we need a 3d collectathon platformer more than anything. From what i've heard and read, It seems like Mecha and MaxOfs2D had a lot of drama, and that was a while ago. I personally don't think we should let it get in the way of us enjoying what is supposed to be the potential revival of the glory days of Rareware games. It would seem foolish to even take sides in a matter like this, as I have seen both these people doing quite a bit of back and fourth internet bickering that all seemed to go nowhere.

We should also keep in mind that there are many other people making this game as well, not just Mecha.

I will still buy this game :p.

I don't know exactly how long the Mecha problem happened, but I'm hoping that he's behaving himself now and willing to right all his wrongs after so long. That way, anyone could play a promising game like this one without looking at it funny.

As Solid_Spy said before, we haven't had a collectathon in a long time. Whether you hate Mecha or not, at least you can't despise him for trying to revive this genre, right?

Yeah, I could forgive him. Both him and Max have been back and forth fighting each other over things and publicly shaming each other unjustly, so... i'm no psychologist, but I would imaging that that would build up over time and cause them to do some pretty unforgivable things to each other. People can do crazy ass things when they reach their limits.

Not that it's justified though. I don't know and I don't care who started it, but if one of them agreed to turn the other cheek, then this probably wouldn't have escalated into a big huge internet shitstorm.
