Uh, where'd Metronome go?

Now doesn't it look neat?

So....where is it now?

[Bloodbooger]

Hadn't heard of it, but the visuals are nice. I like how the buildings curve around, and I'm a bit curious to know if it's kind of a fish-eye effect based on the characters view.

You know what it's about? Looks like orphans to me.

I thought I heard this got canceled almost immediately after it was shown.

Forgot all about it until now, but I'm fairly sure it was shelved indefinitely. I remember thinking it looked incredible at the time....and maybe there were some developers working on it that I thought were worthwhile? Or maybe it used music in an innovative way? That might have been it.

Edit: Found the developer's website (http://www.tarsier.se/?pageid=72). Shows that as of November 2007 that development is supposedly still going strong, as they received funding from the "Nordic Game Program."

LOL! I thought you were talking about CAG member metronome. This does look interesting. I wonder what the story is about?

[darthbudge]

I forget what the story is about, but, as you could guess from the title, it uses music as a main gameplay device.

I hope it will eventually come out, I remember it got announced around the same time that Frame City Killer was announced.

[RelentlessRolento]

looks good. I heard of it, but passed on it mainly. glad you brought it up.

[lunatic_pandora]

I thought you were talking about Metronome (the move from Pokemon).

this was actually on Ask X3F today...

Hey Xbox 360 Fan Boy , greetings from Chile.

My question is simple and straight , You have some information about a "supposed" Xbox 360 game called "City of Metronome"?? , its was presented on the 2005 E3 as a Xbox 360 (and maybe PS3) game , CoM was being developed by a sweden team called "tarsier".

In the link there some info about the mechanic gameplay of CoM, even some time ago there was a in-game trailer.

Thanks again and cheerz from Chile

(Included in the email was a link to Tarsier's City of Metronome page (http://www.tarsier.se/?pageid=55) and the video seen below)


Take heart, for City of Metronome is not dead, as Tarsier secured new funding (http://www.tarsier.se/?pageid=72&PHPSESSID=7d531e599c6e6bfcc5899e09fef1a68d) for City of Metronome from the Nordic Game Program in November of 2007. Alas, that's about all we know about the current state of the project. All we can say is that we hope development is still alive and kicking because what we've seen of the game (http://www.gametrailers.com/player/usermovies/28111.html) since it was revealed looks damned intriguing (very Tim Burton). A teaser site (http://www.tarsier.se/metronome/) is still on the net that notes a new trailer is "coming soon," but the copyright on the page is for 2006. We're not holding our breath.

I actually thought he was referring to the random move in pokemon, Metronome :headache:

Anyways, it looks alright but then again looks don't mean a game is worthy of discussion

Bet it's headed WiiWare soon...hopefully :)

[dallow]

I like NeoGAF threads.

[KingBroly]

looks interesting. Never heard of it though.

[leveskikesko]

I wonder what the next next-gen game whose screenshots I fall in love with instantly, and never gets released will be like....

[TC]

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything new.

[Flak]

I'd roll around in it.

[FriskyTanuki]

Tarsier? The guys behind Rag Doll Kung Fu: Fists of Plastic?
