The original Binding of Isaac pushed Flash (and my computer) to its limits, so I'm looking forward to Nicalis' remake , which recreates Team Meat's roguelikey thing in a new engine, while replacing the art - which Ed McMillen was "sick of looking at" - with 16-bit style versions of Isaac, Mom and the rest of the lovable gang. I was hoping this teaser trailer would show a bit more of that, but I can't say I'm disappointed by the live-action, puppet-based video we got instead. I mean: wow. Also: screaming. Never stop screaming. Venture below to witness it for yourself.
The Binding of Isaac Rebirth is coming to Steam in 2014. Have you stopped screaming yet?
