I started watching the video of hooking the Trance Vibrator up to Rez Infinite but I got distracted by the intense wave of, well, pretty much ASMR that ran up my spine once I saw level 1 on the screen along with its music and now I guess I am spending a while playing that instead. I shall not say what I am doing with my second controller or hint a ways I may be enhancing the reach of its vibrations. 100% analyzation, 99.6% shotdown, 100% support item, one hit taken during Earth [Tera] - not bad for the first time picking it up in years I guess, especially on a dim projector with some intense Sensations and Emotions going through my head as I was dancing with the first level's boss.

It's such a wonderful game, isn't it? I got my first copy back on the Dreamcast and PS2 and played the hell out of it. I wrote my first USB drivers for the Trancevibrator around 2005, also. When Infinite came out I still played it quite a bit (outside of the context of making that video heh), and it was like riding a bicycle. A couple of minutes of getting used to it again and I was back to near 100% on everything. :D

  seriously, I have it sitting on my PS4 at like 95-100% in everything after one playthrough when I first got it, except Area 5 because I really cannot be bothered to run it like 5x in a row to remember all its little tricks. I'll probably buy it again when I replace this PS4 and there's a re-remake. If you haven't played Polybius or Sayonara Wild Hearts, I can highly recommend them - they are both games that stroke their fingers gently across the same places that Rez tickles.

    Ooooh hadn't heard of Polybius, been meaning to pick up Wild Hearts... Still wish any other Mizuguchi game did it for me as much as Rez. Never got to try Child of Eden, Every Extend was good, Lumines and Tetris Effect were ok but just not quite the same. I think Rez had that combination of perfect timing and place.

      I suspect it was a matter of budget and collaborators that made Rez work, too, though I haven’t looked at the crew list of his games with that theory in mind. Eden was trying to catch the same lightning as Rez but... didn’t.

      It’s a hell of a ride! It may also be a magical working. I am dead serious here.
