Remastered has dropped onto PC"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<p>Dejobaan Games and Petricore Inc. <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/news\/app\/1372460\/view\/3998701272122509838?l=english\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">have announced<\/a> that the remaster of their 2009 indie classic, <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! Remastered<\/em>, has launched today on PC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those keeping score, this is actually the second remake of <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! \u2013 A Reckless Disregard for Gravity<\/em>. The first time was back in 2011 with <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.destructoid.com\/one-more-jump-aaaaa-for-the-awesome-is-out\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! for the Awesome<\/a><\/em>. <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! Remastered<\/em> is a heck of a lot shinier than the last time around, benefiting from over a decade of base-jumping advancements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! - Launch Trailer\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QhfO8JDdAUo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re unfamiliar, the <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! <\/em>series is about base-jumping, but rather than just put you in some boring city, you\u2019re dropped in abstract spaces populated by floating buildings and other pieces of debris. It plays a bit like a rail shooter, with gravity pulling you forward. You amass points by flying as close as possible to the structures. You need to flip some groups of fans off while giving others the thumbs up. It\u2019s neat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I was actually there on day one for <em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!! \u2013 A Reckless Disregard for Gravity<\/em>, having pre-ordered it before launch. It may be hard to believe now, but back in those days, it was a lot more feasible to keep up with new releases. Marketplaces had yet to be flooded with bad imitations and straight-up trash games. The indie market was a lot smaller, and it was easier to stand out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I loved the game when I played it. What I found most interesting was the storyline that it built around its abstract premise. It had this weirdly cohesive absurdity that captivated me. I did, at one point long ago, try to draw inspiration from it in my writing, but it requires more of an organic approach. If you try to replicate it with intention, it just won\u2019t work. You\u2019ll look like you\u2019re trying too hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Anyhow, I\u2019ll be checking out this remaster. I may have drifted away from Dejobaan\u2019s orbit over the years, but I wouldn\u2019t mind revisiting the simpler times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>AaaaaAAaaaAAAaaAAAAaAAAAA!!!
