Here's A Gaming Twitter Thread You Might Like
This is good.
Super Meat Boy developer Team Meat had a wonderful day on Twitter over the weekend. When someone pressed the studio about its next game, the studio responded by saying you can be sure the new game will have good controls and level design, just as the celebrated Super Meat Boy did. "To release a follow-up without at least those two staples would be f***ing stupid," reads a tweet from the Team Meat account.
And that was just the beginning. The studio went on to list off examples of what it would be like to release a sequel without elements of what made Super Meat Boy great. There are some great ones in the thread, which you can see below.
Team Meat is working on a new Super Meat Boy game called Super Meat Boy Forever as well as secret things. More footage of the new game, Super Meat Boy Forever presumably, will be shown later this year, ahead of the start of PAX Prime in September.
It would be like creating a Metal Gear Game without stealth and an over the top story.

This is a follow up to a classic and even if you disagree that SMB is a classic, it's classic to me and I won't put out something sub par.

Oh I thought of another one:

A Mario game where he fucking throws his hat around in Manhattan or some shit...wait..no that looks rad.
When we show more at PAX in a few months, it'll make more sense.

OH! I thought of one!:

A Watch Dogs game without a horrible plot and unrelatable bland characters.
