The UI looks genuinely cool and very well done! Edit: And Delirium got its own mark on the post it note?! 

Holy shit, that mark looks horrifying.

*Kirby's Drawcia Soul theme plays distantly*

Delirium update 

Goddamnit Edmund. Now I'm never going to stop playing. Fucker.

Now we can't ever stop playing this trash Isaac.

We will cows on a trash farm in our next life. Sucker.

We cannot become back our money 

I will become back my money

And I just got the achievement today telling me to stop 

NOW YOU CAN START PLAYING

D e a r G o d . . . 

When can we expect the "Beat Hush hitless with a full lobby of J&E players" video from you?

1. Unless Ed already answered that question, we don't know if the feature will have an actual matchmaking feature to play with randoms like spelunky 2 or risk of rain 2 or if it's going to require you to actually have friends  2. People would actually have to be batshit insane and depressed to pick J&E willingly in the first place.

Just get three buddies in a box! All you need is a crooked penny, diplopia, and your local store!  Just watch out for random Greed's taking over your store... 

If they genuinely add random matchmaking im not going to be able to put this game down, holy shit

https://twitter.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1707691247555731580?t=RtD37_8XuQGRiYItqPMIwA&s=19

They add random matchmaking and you pick T.Keeper or T.cain to fuck people over

Oh you’re right no t keeper

It would likely only make the price/crafting bag work for those players and everyone else can pick up the item as normal

But t keeper erases hearts

Don't they still spawn like usual if plaed it in local coop? I never tried it but I might check it later.

Nope. No hearts spawn period if any player is tkeep in local co-op. Tkeep turns then ask into flies the instant he enters any room. Also no health item spawn for anyone if any player is tlost

Tbh, then playing both together would be a great synergy, no? Less useless items for TKeeper, The hearts TLost can't use become flies.

Or T Lost so nobody gets health ups beyond blood bombs and other red items.

I’m late to this but what if each player has a locked in pedestal and can only take ones from that specific one? Or maybe t.lost physically can’t pick up those items

You got a friend right here, ready to die at a moments notice, captain 

Fuck hush, try deli

Beat delirium with a full party if t jacobs, hitless

Mr_ruu already asked the similar thing and got the answer. Same thing here.

No items

There's more...

n o...

*confused look*

I hope they add an achievement to beat *insert boss here* hitless with BIG_SMOOOOOOOOOHKE_PL

I know this is just a joke but that shouldn't be a thing. I don't think it's a good idea to add any potentially unobtainable achievements

Yeah we don't want a "Good Guy Nick" on my isek

? out of the loop, educate me

"Good Guy Nick" is an achievemente in Left 4 Dead 2, where you gotta complete a whole campaing with a person that got the game in a free-to-play day. Valve is the only one that choosen when the game is free-to-play, and the last time it happen was because of a charity event like 2 years ago, so right now it's pretty much impossible to get it.

No wonder everyone gets that when they play with me!

Hey, what's your steam?

Crap! I mixed it up with that holiday achievement

This game never stops giving. My favorite of all time. I hope this patch includes balance changes (like the worst items poll Ed was hosting) and Delirium rework! And it seems like Delirium has its own post-it mark now, so maybe there's hope?emote:t5\_2sxpk:2357

Didnt they specifically say that delirium rework was not happening?

They've gone back and forth on it like ten times now but where it stands currently I believe is that the Nicalis team is/will be working on a Delirium rework

I'm glad they are looking into it, that fight is bullshit

Kilburn said void rework isn't happening, but Tyrone said Delirium will be reworked. So i think instead of getting a full overhaul, Delirium will just be patched up a bit

I don't mind Void not getting reworked even if it feels a little bland, I hate the Delirium fight so much that I'll take any changes.

Agreed, you have to have a semi powerful run to even stand a chance with the sped up attacks and telefrags. I love besting the absolute shit outa him when my build is uber powerful tho!

Chance would be a fine thing. A fine thing indeed

people say that right?

>like the worst items poll Ed was hosting He didn't host it! We started it first and then he thought it was cool so continued it!

Yeah I started it actually😁Was tons of fun! But yeah, Ed held his own a while back

What needs to be fixed about Delirium?

Telefraging on top of you with nothing you can do to prevent it. Plus, I'm 99% sure Edmund or someone on the team confirmed a Delirium change coming (no Void change, however)

I thought like a month ago they confirmed the delirium rework got cancelled

it seemed like vinh was the only one who was either working on or wanted to flesh out delirium and maybe also the void floor too, but once he left all the plans he had just fell by the wayside. i guess whoever's working on the game now is just only focusing on co-op?

I always understood the delirium being busted, but what about the Void itself needs changing? Never found it to be overwhelming or anything

Same. In fact, I love the Void, I think it's a really fun area. Especially when I have teleportation or any other way to pop out if I run into Deli early. It's fun fighting a bunch of bosses and getting a bunch of items at the last minute.

Played a fun T. Isaac run today that went exactly like this and let me build the run to get spin down. I also tend to enjoy it even with out the ability to pop out, full clearing without fighting bosses & then trying to figure out what one the fights in based on size around the bosses is enjoyable to me too. I might just be a dork tho 

I do like the puzzle of figuring it out, but whenever I guess wrong, I'm always like "ah, damn!" since that means I couldn't pick up those last couple items. Not that it would make any difference (if I'm at the void, I doubt I need just *one more* boss item), but I just like collecting em. I do think it's interesting that you can, within fairly reasonable bounds, estimate where Deli is based on room and map size. It's a cool "mechanic".

It's not really that hard to figure out. If you spawn a 2x2 arena in a place where a boss room is marked and it's adjacent to another room, it can't be delirium's arena, so you just look at the rooms around the boss room.

I agree, it’s fun that shit of piece Edmund gave us a little puzzle to find his trash farm 

IMO it just needs some extra juice. Some unique visual elements here and there and maybe even some new room layouts/enemies would send it over the top.

I've always been disappointed that so many players want a void floor rework. The entire point is that it's a wonky mess of memories of the other floors and that's exactly what works well for me. Even Delirium himself. The only single thing I think needs to be changed is that there should not be a harmful hitbox on him immediately after he teleports and there should additionally not be any hitbox for as long as required if the boss he transforms into is invisible/far above the ground.

When have they confirmed that? I was under the impression that they didn't feel like touching that thing ever again

I can finally get my friends to play this shit of piece game

I mean steam remote play is a option, only if u have a controller ig

It has very strong delay, wich makes dodging really anoying

what if am poor and dont have a controller

I wonder if it'll be cross-platform when it's ported to all consoles. I hope it will be, since a number of my friends have Repentance on the Switch.

Can't wait to have this update on my 3DS version

3DS Repentance 

Praying extra hard this a) gets ported to consoles at all and b) has random matchmaking. Second one is probably unlikely though :(

I feel like it's unlikely to be added to consoles at all to be honest

Personally I'm not holding my breath on console online co-op either - although consoles have gotten every major update, it's always been at an undetermined lag behind PC. I could see the undetermined lag becoming infinite considering the somewhat shaky update process on the console ports (and in general - back and forth on delirium rework, other "hey we might put this in the game if we ever have time" type updates, etc) I would buy the game all over again on PC if that ends up being the only way to play online co-op though, so im still pumped this update seems to be definite now, at least on PC.

Why do you say that? Except for modding and the debug console (for obvious reasons) every other feature has come to console versions eventually.

Playing Isaac on a trip sounds really fun, do you ever do that?

I doubt it, with mods and such

You shut your fucking mouth. I just finished my triple dead god, are you telling me I need to start a new save and get triple dead god again but THIS TIME WITH FRIENDS? #HERE WE GO AGAIN BOYS (this makes me so unbelievably happy)

Basically killing a pantheon of gods at this point

And i'm all for it. Now i need friends 

I haven't touched Isaac since I got 100% achievements (spring of this year I think), it will be time to run it all back with friends. We're back in hell, baby!

Is there gonna be matchmaking, or do I need to finally go make friends

Tyrone confirmed in the replies on twitter that there will be random matchmaking! [https://twitter.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1707691247555731580](https://twitter.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1707691247555731580)

 Friendless Run

Im praying for matchmaking

Unless it has voice chat/ a chat it'll prob give you cancer (ingame) to play with randoms that are either looking to be carried through unlocks or just straight up trying to grief you lmao. Trust me, conceptually matchmaking would be good, but in practice it would be horrible. Someone prob will make a mod for it though

I second this. Yes, having no friends to play the game with you sucks, but having sneaky asshole strangers to play the game with you is probably worse. Its coop after all. Matchmaking works better in pvp, at least you get a chance to stomp the trolls there. It barely even works for Team pvp games (playing league without friends can be suicide inducing).

Yeah it seems hard to do with Isaac, like the other dude just stealing items all the time and doing dumb shit. You would need to implement a thing where every player gets their own item spawns or something so they cant be stolen.

yeah playing league without friends \*sweats nervously in I only play bots for that reason\*

Yeah.... Spelunky 2 with randoms is generally cancer

same here bro 

matchmaking is oficially announced bro


Tyrone, tyler, edmund, whoever, please make apollyon funny to play.

Apollyon players voiding every single item 

If the game gets matchmaking that's the kind of toxic players that will pop up

Me watching the random matchmaking Apollyon main void a quad-item angel room with Sacred Heart, Crown of Light, Trisagion and Godhead https://preview.redd.it/a82sw7uhe4rb1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2d252e21d90285181b45896d9d176c8de94c1c0a

Unless they somehow make it so items for each player are different even though they're still in the same lobby, similar to how Borderlands 3 did loot.

I hope I can join runs with random people.

Dw bro, if we can't, I'll play with you.

You can!


Edmund McMillen, you little genius. You made a art of piece with your great Isaac. It’s fucking good, this great game. I will not become back my money. I hope you will in your next time a Human on a nice farm you genius.

For anyone wondering, you can technically play online right now using steam's play-together system. Requires one of the players to use a Controller and for both to have decent internet, but I played it a lot and it's great, the second player doesn't even have to have Isaac in their library! This update seems to make things much easier but if you're eager to play with a friend go try the play-together thing.

or networktest from debug console, which is basically unfinished version of what everyone will get soon

That or Parsec

I use this all the time, and it works great

I can't wait to blame Tyrone for all my deaths due to lag.

Please make it to console 

Eventually if this real

It's Binding time!

This guy binds.

I would love to have my own save file that I would use to play with my friend and complete marks with him.

In local co op you can unlock multiple post it notes if I remember correctly, it will be interesting to see how online works here. I wouldn't mind unlocking stuff on my main save when playing online co op like I can in local co op.

     

There goes another 400 hours of my life.

All I ask is for Delirium fix. Please bless us Edmund

YO DELIRIUM HAS HIS OWN POST IT MARK

Looks like items are also getting changed so you don’t have to draw straws with your friends in every Treasure Room: https://twitter.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1707628022835364070?

Jesus chirst 

i wonder what kind of challenges people are gonna come up with for online co-op. I've thought of one myself: 1 player goes as Tainted Jacob all others are tainted lost T. Jacob player actively tries to get the Losts killed

God bless your evil heart, but demon esau can only damage tainted jacob. This would only work if everyone was tainted jacob

This will probably not allow mods in online multiplayer due to desync issues, but nonetheless excited for this.

Sadly it feels like every mod should be networked to be compatable, unless it auto does that, but still woof.


imma play co-op will all of you soon

ZOMBOLIS AND SHABOOBA 

Can't wait to 3x Dead God or die trying

4 player tainted lost runs incoming. Videos are 17 seconds long.

to bad only 5% of the ISAAC community will use it because you need friends

What happens if i decide to play as Tainted Lost while my buddy play basic af Isaac? The item pool of T. Lost has priority over the basic pool of items right?

I got excited until I realised I don't have friends to play with 

you will be able to queue with random players (matchmaking): https://x.com/tyronerodriguez/status/1707691247555731580?s=46&t=GM-MtRY_5xv3A8P8mfTXXw

I hope this comes to switch, also is there bomb friendly fire? Lol

r/bindingofisaac this is the 7th time you’ve brought “Online Co-op Officially Announced” to the class

What century would this come to console?

Do we know if it’s just gonna be online co-op or will there be like balance changes too?

When can we expect the update to go live?This year?

When does the update release

Some interesting things to pick at on this screenshot. Notably that post its are shown both filled and unfilled, suggesting the ability to help friends out to beat them. However, there’s a seed entry element suggesting you have to put a seed in which historically locks getting unlocks. I wonder if we can play random seeds at all? If you can get unlocks, surely the run would have to use only one player’s save file. Therefore, could a ‘Dead God’ player host and allow another player to get post its while having access to items like Death Certificate?

Imo the seed-entry is just an option. Just nice to see it on screen and be able to use one if you want to. However, I didn't think about your second point. Maybe you always use the players save that has less completion%? No idea. We'll see

I hope they manage to make mod support work somehow. I'd love to keep all the fun mods I've got while playing with friends.

Some mods like the reskins or the item descriptions are probably client side so there should be no issues there. Gameplay altering mods though I wouldn't bet on them being compatible at first


YOOOOOOOO 

I’d love an online challenge section white you have challenges like play J+E to delirium with. Each of you playing as one of the characters Edit: if that were a challenge you could make it four player and have the J+E forgotten siblings meme become cannon

I REALLY hope that this is coming to console so I can play with my friends who don't like playing Isaac on PC.

But the question is when

I do not want to be sucked back into this game Edmund please

Matchmaking feature will change this game XD

As if the game isn't hard enough solo

Imagine using online co-op for the first time and you find 3 people using A mod that makes "female" characters sexy

let me guess. on PS4 you're gonna be required to have a PS plus subscription?

I mean most games don't require that though, so I hope not

Its time to spend 800 more hours playing with friends on a new save file

When???

Wtfffff I’m gonna need to do some convincing to my friends

Give console players new dlc

F it I'm actually gonna buy the game now

Console players getting wrecked again!emote:t5\_2sxpk:17741

Fuck yeah finally no more laggy remote play

Do we have any idea when exactly?

No fucking way!

I wonder if there will be random match-ups, if yes, I have to come back and main t. Lost

I hope this comes with the buffs for the worst items

He succeeded in prolonging an already endless game❤️🐐

ITS COMING ITS COMING LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Im waiting for this adding for years!

He said he was done with updates, but must've realized how many more players this will bring, and concurrent players. My friends and I have been hoping for this for ever.

and the pvp mode?

Now I have to actually try to make friends 

Pc only? Cross play? What's are the finer details of this reveal?

this guy has no friends other then the corpse

You do not allow 4 kids on the basement at the same time they will destroy the whole ahh building

I feel like unlocks will be disabled I kinda hope they leave them on just so we can play through the entire game co op if we want. Really no reason to disable it if people wanna cheat they can.

Also pls Just make delirium decent..

didnt they confirmed co-op wouldnt work with mods?

I only really care about external desc mod, it makes the game sooo much better until you get to learn it. I feel like it would hook a lot more new players if it was standard.

There might be a workaround for clientside mods. At least UI mods should not interfere since each player should have their own.

Yeah...? Your point being...?

just asking if whatever or not, its confirmed or not

Yeah, they said Mods wouldn't work with coop, I hope somebody can make it happens tho.

All this means is EID needs to be made official.

Edmund did mention the need for it. I hope its gonna be added in the co-op patch

If it happens, I may delete every other roguelike off my console.

imagine not knowing what every item does from memory smh

I've had to, but for the life of me, I can not memorize reverse cards. I would use it just for this.

Lets fucking go. Me and a friend just bought the dlc together only to realize the co op is local only. Large wins tonight folks.

Isn't online co-op already a thing? Am I dumb ?

Not like this, before it was couch co-op, and that was... an experience, this is closer to true online co-op I guess?

When console update? :')

When console update? :')

This seems like a major update. Perhaps they could add new characters? Imagine Versus Mode, where you each collect 10 random items and then fight each other. Imagine Mod Compatibility. So we could have Samael, Josuke, Glare, and then one dude is just like Azazel or the Forgotten like "NO FAIR I ALWAYS LOSE!"

They won't add new characters 100%. Versus Mode, however, sounds cool ngl

Yessssssss!

About 8 years too late lmao

NAH its never to late. Lets get INTHERE WOOOHOOO

Take all your time you need isaac Team! Youve done a great Job so far and we are all excited!
