Thanks for pointing out the update, Izzy.

Definitely still confused.

lol another update. Also apparently they have a Youtube. http://www.youtube.com/user/CommanderVideo

I went on their Youtube and apparently they’ve had it since 06! How long have they been planning this? And they haven’t signed in in 3 weeks.

Their website links to: http://www.gaijingames.com/

Also “Hometown: Earth”? Sounds like a shooter definitely. Maybe a Halo killer lol jk jk or likely a Halo Ripoff.

I went to the website and looked up commander, and I got this under Team Bios:

“Alex Neuse

Alex Neuse is an 11 year industry veteran and has a wide breadth of talents, having held jobs in QA, Production, Design, and Management at multiple companies, including LucasArts Entertainment Company, Activision, and Santa Cruz Games before founding Gaijin Games in 2007. An avid gamer, he once pondered that “sometimes a really good video game is just awesome.” Never have truer words been spoken (or laser etched into the back of an iPod).

A few of CommanderVideo’s favorites:

* 2600 game: Stampede
* Metroid game: Super Metroid
* Survival Horror game: Silent Hill 2
* Homo-erotic shooter: Cho-Aniki
* Music game: Rez
* Game ending: Conker’s Bad Fur Day
* bitGenerations game: dotstream”

That same bio had him linked to:

I then Googled him and found his profile on Moby Games. He is credited as hving worked on:

Hmm. Seems like he’s been working for Activation Lately. So maybe it’s a game from them. Thats what I thought but apparently he only goes under Commander for Santa Cruz Games. So it's probably from them.

Holy crap! Did you actually do all that research or is any of that quoted? If not, that's some good sleuthing and thanks for all the work and sharing. I'd be willing to bet that it's gonna be a shooter or RTS or something of the sort. The fact that it's called Commander just seems like that's the most likely genre it would fall into.

Agreed, excellent job Izzy! That reveals much more than the video and image have thus far.

I did it myself. Took about 15 minutes. Anything in quotation marks is taken from a website. It was like two websites lol.

Alex Neuse has good taste in games.

Also, fuck yeah Ty The Tazmanian Tiger, I was like one of the only people to play that game.

Another update.

It's an audio track this time.
http://www.commandervideo.com/00DESCENT11.mp3

I like the audio track. It's cool. Doesn't help at all though. lol. Also there is a picture of a guy that looks like a middle finger lol.

Sorry for the double post but it's a remake of the game Nether Earth

After watching the video again I noticed something, the only screen that looks like a game(The one with all of the bullets flying around) has half of the word Nether at the bottom. Some of the people at Gaijin Games, the website I traced this back to, made Nether Earth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nether_Earth

Here I took a screen shot of the frame I found with the word NETHER.:


And another one zoomed in:


Still don't believe me? Take a look at this picture posted on the Gaijin Website:(Specifically THIS POST)


The letters NET are in the corner and it looks the same as the screen in the game.

I figured it out

EDIT: I just wen't over to GoNintendo and someone pointed out that the money is in stacks of 10. That means it's a WiiWare game that costs $10

I'm banking on this being a new Gradius. All the evidence does nothing but put promote it to being a new Gradius.

Hmm. We need to turn this into a news post and get it on Digg.

^Gonintendo linked to my first post. I sent them my second one now

EDIT: They have now linked to it too. lol

^Very nice.

And you were at least largely right (read HERE).

The one part that gets me is in IGN's post about it it says:
'Developed by Gaijin Games, BIT.TRIP BEAT marks the first adventure of Commander Video.'
Nothing else about Commander Video. Make sense to any of you?

^YEa I was disappointed that I was wrong but then I saw the game and I think it looks like lots of fun. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
