There’s a certain sense of a remix culture taking place in the games space. AAA titles have become a parade of sub-systems and mini-games in polished containers. A simple look at the last generation of games will see a whole lot of derivative titles that can be described as “game X meets game Y” as popular games become continually borrowed from. In another space are the independent developers, remixing genres and styles from titles past to create new takes on them. Velocity 2X would be one of these. The first Velocity mixed the genre up by introducing a short range teleport, changing the focus from shooting to navigation and puzzles. 2X builds on that, introducing sidescrolling sections and story segments.
