What is wrong with the people over at Twistel Pixel? The Austin-based studio must be having peyote-based drum circles out there in the Texas desert where they come up with the ideas for their games, and LocoCycle seems to be no different. Apparently based off the vehicle kung-fu as seen in the Fast and the Furious bump off with motorcycles, Torque, LocoCycle seems to be about an experimental super motorcycle that short circuits and escapes the laboratory to do…something. Story beats are a bit vague right now, but what IS known is that I.R.I.S. (the super motorcycle) is dragging her mechanic impossibly behind her for what can be presumed to be the whole game. Ah, the Twistel Pixel touch: things breaking out of experimental laboratories and madness.
Meta announced it has acquired developers Twisted Pixel, Armature Studio, and Camouflaj.Twisted Pixel is known for The Maw,‘Splosion Man,Ms. Splosion Man, Comic Jumper, LocoCycle, and Wilson's Heart. Armature Studio developed the virtual reality version of Resident Evil 4. They also recently released Where the Heart Leads. Camouflaj is the studio that developed Marvel's Iron Man VR and Republique.
I always said that MS should have purchased Twisted Pixel way back when they made MS Splosion Man.
Not sure what they have been up to lately, but I loved the humor found in their games.
Oh no. We need Microsoft to look at what Meta is aiming to purchase so that they can buy 'em before Meta can so that they can save us from Facebook.
A new trailer accompanies the announcement.
