Is Rebirth gonna be a DLC or a new game?

This game is so stupid. I got addicted and couldnt stop playing for a very long time.

Entirely new game.

Original ran on Flash, which is one of the shittiest platforms imaginable.

I am really curious what it is going to offer, that justifies buying it, even though I own the original. The game is just so unbelieveablke good, because as soon as you get fairly decent at it, you realise it is not really luck based. Your luck just decides if it gets a little bit easier or harder.

To wave my e-pen around, after almost 150 hours of this game, I achieved my positive K/D! 198/194 right now. No restarts, always using random character, no bugusing(I dont even know if there is one, besides using invulnerability-frames to get double the coins per heart out of a bloodbank)

Well first of all, Rebirth is going to have everything from the old game, plus more new stuff, plus fixed bugs, plus SAVING so you don't have to quit in the middle or restart the whole thing after dying.
I'm going to get so addicted to unlocking everything again...

As NorthernLion says, you just gotta survive long enough to get an item that carries you the rest of the game. Be it Polyphemus, Mom's Knife, Brimstone, etc.

Even without any item, I am able to beat at least Moms heart almost always adn then go to Satan/???. When you hit a certain level of skill in this game, items are (almost)irrelevant(excluding bad items, those can actually screw you xD). The saving-option seems nice, as long as it doesnt allow you to reload after you died. I think that would take away to much tension. The new stuff definitly akes me curious, but as I said, I am not sutre if it will be enough. Unless the whole thing is on sale again. Buying the BoI+WotL for 1 or 2€ was definitly one of my best buys ever. I am not so keen on the new look though. Does anyone know if the new graphics are optional?

Graphics are in fact optional.

Yeah, there's going to be a bunch of filters: http://bindingofisaac.com/post/97013539659/rebirth-gets-flashy

I'm looking forward to Rebirth so much. I have 218 hours clocked on steam of the original and probably another at least 200 in between offline mode, spider mod and community remix and I'm still learning new stuff. Rebirth being more than twice as big is making my head dizzy already. :D

Holy crap the game is super easy when you get moms knife early.

Beat Isaac within few seconds just standing next to him.

How do you get moms knife? Best damage item i got so far is Technology 2, i can only go further with it.

I just beat mom's heart and game got even harder.

Complete Sheol with Isaac and you unlock moms knife.

But yea technology 2 is probably the best. One run got Tech 2 into Chocolate milk and Polyphemus. Everything died instantly and bosses within few seconds.

Winning streak: 1

Time for a break. I'm really impressed by the game so far, even with new graphics it has the Isaac feel to it. The only complaint I have is the voices for various enemies sound worse to me, but maybe that's just because I'm used to the old sounds.

Oh man it's been a long time since I've played this game... TIME TO GET REBIRTH! :D

edit: also mom's new voice is... unnerving. It's almost as if someone put some sort of auto-tune on an actually pretty nice sounding voice -_-

first run, beat mom and unlocked Lazarus, took bad damage against new bosses and mobs, dingle is a giant piece of shit(literally) don't underestimate him.

some room layouts are also retarded, especially in the depths.
