Humodour Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I stumbled across this game on Kotaku and since there was a demo available I figured "why not?". After all, the comments were all pretty positive. http://trine.gamesplanet.com/trine-game-nobilis.html It's a really fun 3D sidescroller (i.e. you only play across one 2D cross-section, but the graphics are in 3D) with realistic physics, fun characters (you use 3 like Lost Vikings), nice humour, a seemingly intricate storyline, and fun platforming puzzles. Here's a pretty comprehensive review of the game: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/trine-hands-on If you like sidescrollers or platformers I highly recommend it. Even if you don't, it's really worth trying (after all, a test is as free as your bandwidth is). I wish more companies made demos these days as that's how I discover half my games. Or it's how I used to discover them. This is the first game with a demo I've seen in a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I've had my eye on it too, but I just can get over that it's a very common girls name here.. It really makes it rather silly to me Fortune favors the bald. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr insomniac Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 For those who don't mind buying games from steam, it goes on sale there July 2nd, which should be anytime now, for $30 USD. I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God. So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me? Nothing personal. It's just revenge.

Pidesco Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I've had my eye on it too, but I just can get over that it's a very common girls name here.. It really makes it rather silly to me I'd imagine that would be awesome: "I've been all over Trine these past few days." or "Me and my girlfriend have been having a great time with Trine." or even "Trine takes co-op to a new level. " "My hovercraft is full of eels!" - Hungarian touristI am Dan Quayle of the Romans.I want to tattoo a map of the Netherlands on my nether lands.Heja Sverige!!Everyone should cuffawkle more.The wrench is your friend.

Gorth Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 I first thought that Krezack was talking about a girl friend when reading the thread title “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oner Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Dare I say that I knew about Trine for months, but didn't know it's an existing name, let alone it being common?

Pidesco Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Danespeak does sound like Ogrish, at least.

Gorth Posted July 2, 2009 Share Posted July 2, 2009 Danespeak does sound like Ogrish, at least. According to my former Kiwi colleagues, it sounds like the Orcs in the LoTR movies, but close enough I suppose “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.” - Albert Einstein Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purkake Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Played it when the demo first came out, pretty cool. It's not a girls name here, the closest would be "Triin", I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slowtrain Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Trish? Tina? Turtle? Turpentine? I dunno. It just sounds like some made up word to me. Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

Humodour Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 (edited) Trine may refer to: - Trine (astrological aspect), an angle of 120 Edited July 3, 2009 by Krezack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosbjerg Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 ^ it's almost pronouced like Trina.. and it seems they are related (Trina and Trine) - Trine As you can see it's almost an exclusively Danish name and an abrevation of Katrine.

Morgoth Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 Luckily enough, Trine doesn't have any meaning to me. Though I hardly care for the game itself, either, so... Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
