OK, it’s a little late, but here’s a sneak preview of last week’sBit Transmission with Alex Neusefrom Gaijin Games. Alex was willing to divulge a lot of crazy stuff on the show, but my favorite bit was when he confirmed that my theory about the meaning of theBit.Tripgames was at least somewhat accurate. I’ve long thought that theBit.Tripseries depicts the formation of a human life, including the part with the sperm and the egg. Though Alex wouldn’t tell me exactly when it happens, he did confirm that at one point or another, when you’re looking at theBit.Tripgames, you’re looking at sperm.
Looks like theBit.Tripseries and thatweird in-vagina XBLA gamemay be the start of a new genre; the sex-education-in-utero-action-thriller.
Other highlights from the show include confirmation that “Nether” and other aspects of previousBit.Triptitles that are absent fromBit.Trip Runnerwill appear in futureBit.Tripgames, a progress report onBit.Trip 5, the current status ofAnthony’s lawsuit(andGaijin’s counter suit) over theRunnertrademark, a tentative release date for the Tron-likeLilt Line, and more.
