Rez HD in "a few weeks" News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360

Pads pulse pleasurably.

Q Entertainment has excitingly told us that Rez HD will be out in "only a few weeks".

Well, we say told us, but Joystiq spilled the news, claiming it will cost 800 Points (GBP 6.80 / EUR 9.30) on arrival.

You know by now that this is the Live Arcade revamp of Tetsuya Mizuguchi's famous musical shooter Rez, which came with a fantastic trance vibrator peripheral. This you used to, er, oh, vibrate in time to the music while you, er, hold it. In your hand.

Anyway, none of that, but you will be able to make up to three other 360 pads vibrate while you play, which is useful for your friends. Somehow.

Pop over to our Rez HD gallery to see what high-definition can do to a man.

My original Trance Vibrator is USB, surely a little line or two of code would let you plug it in and buzz one off.

Tetsuya said at the time it's best under a bare foot.

The vibrator thing was something he added to the PS2 version though wasn't it?

I had the dremcast version and just remember controlling it with a pad.

@Wizballs - what does E4 have to do with it? E4 was a totally new Every Extend game, whereas Rez HD is, well, Rez. But in HD.

Hummm... The article says January so I'm guessing the 30th then ?

Shame, was hoping for next week.

Possibly my fave game ever.

Sounds promising, I guess we won't know when though until there's official word.

@Wizballs: It's Rez in HD, with no other tweaks at all to the standard game as default. The original version is included too - if only to confirm how much sharper the HD version is in 1080p.

@kiroquai: I seem to recall reading that Ikaruga should be out sometime in January, but I could easily be mistaken. It turned up on PartnerNet on Friday (which sometimes heralds a game's imminent release (but often doesn't admittedly)).

I can confirm that it is indeed a thing of wonder, and in mind it's probably the first game that actually makes HD seem like a good idea. Who knew!

Yeah, it would be a good idea. I think they haven't done it because Rez is already on PS2.

It's a shame, really, the control system on this is virtually designed for Wii, but... The visuals really need HD

Hoorah! Already have the Dreamcast and PS2 versions, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

(No, really. I am. I'm queuing up more download credits as we speak. Well...as soon as Live is back up and running.)

What I really want though, in my heart of hearts, is to play this on an IMAX theater screen. They'll need a mop to clean up the joy.
