TRANSISTOR GAME RED PLUS

His commentary makes it clear that he cares for Red, but the nature of their relationship is unclear, at first. The Transistor is a little more mysterious. Her status as a target positions her as one of the more influential members of Cloudbank City, and her defiant decision to fight rather than flee make this entirely believable. Red is a firebrand whose silent determination and sheer pique work to empower both her and the player. The interaction between these two-the voiceless player character and bodiless voice-make Transistor’s story simply enthralling. Together, they resolve to hunt down the Camerata-the controllers of the Process-and uncover the group’s sinister plan. A dear acquaintance of hers (whose exact identity is unknown) is killed during the scuffle, but his voice and mind live on in the weapon, allowing him to serve as the game’s de facto narrator. After a failed assassination attempt, she manages to steal a weapon known as the Transistor from her attackers. Supergiant Games’ latest title revolves around Red, a former star who is relentlessly pursued by assailants called the Process. Transistor may give its heroine many ways to make her voice heard, but it leaves me speechless. Even Transistor’s reveal trailer from last March spotlights the vocal talents of Supergiant Games’ latest protagonist (voiced by the inimitable Ashley Barrett). When players take advantage of the gameplay’s Turn feature, Red hums to herself as players plot out her plan of attack. The songstress Red’s lyrics swell from the game’s soundtrack. Regardless, these are my thoughts on what happened.For a game with a silent protagonist, the world of Transistor is saturated with its leading lady’s voice. Maybe I missed something somewhere that spelled things out more clearly or I didn’t give enough attention to an early event. live out their cyber lives within the Transistor? Now, I could be entirely wrong. The big questions in my mind are what is the Transistor? What is the Cradle? And what happens in the “real world” while Red and co. It seems like so many people died during the Process outbreak that she would rather not be alone in Cloudbank. I think that when she kills herself she is choosing to live with him at the farm, aka inside the Transistor. Red then returns to Cloudbank and after bringing parts of it back decides to live within the Transistor with her BF. They both have their own Transistors and they fight to a very Highlander-esque ending.

Red places the Transistor back into the cradle which teleports her and Royce to that farm. It seems to be a great weapon of change, which is why they were capturing the movers and shakers of Cloudbank and absorbing their traits into the Transistor. He may have also created it using math and science or some such.

Royce mentions that he isn’t entirely sure what the Transistor is, but that he found it around the site of the cradle. Sybil was taken over and the cat man and the older fella killed themselves out of guilt. It is suggested that the Camerata either created them or found them and lost control. The Process seems like some sort of computer virus come to life that is attempting to make the world into a white techno hellscape. It appears that she lives happily ever after with her BF.Īlright, let’s try to figure out what happened. Finally, they confront Royce and…fight him next to a barn, then Red fixes some of Cloudbank and kills herself with the Transistor. The story unfolds with Red and T running around Cloudbank trying to figure out what is going on with the dang Process and the Camerata. Somehow Red’s boyfriend (Do they ever say his name? I think it was in a list on one of the terminals) sacrifices himself and is now the Transistor. My assumption was that they stabbed lots of folks with it. I don’t really know why they were trying to stab her with the Transistor. That fella saves her and she loses her voice and a bit of her memory. Not magically or anything, sort of like how seeing Joe Biden’s smiling face just makes my day better. I don’t necessarily think she was special except for her power to control folks with her voice. Red is sought after by the Camerata just like all the other artisans and artists of Cloudbank. As a small point of clarification, I finished Transistor about ten minutes ago so I have not had the appropriate time to process (GET IT) what happened.įirst, here is my initial take on what happened throughout the story.
