If they turn this into a first-person shooter, I'm going to go on a fucking kill-crazy rampage over at Devolver Digital. If it's like the original, then I'm all smiles and happiness Very Happy

So it's basically just an emulated version with some bells and whistles? Thanks! That's a lot better than the idea of an FPS "reboot" or "re-imagining" Very Happy

I agree, all they need to do is use Amiga 1200 graphics, support for higher res and wide screen, with improved music from cd32, some minor visual improvements, and thats it.

I was kinda expecting an FPS reboot, or possibly a cover shooter

I love these old games (also Capcom's D&D), but it feels kind of lazy to me. I can already play this emulated online. I want proper HD graphics, 4 player coop with scaling difficulty and maybe an editor or modding capabilities.

So, this is basically a twin-stick shooter (as they're called)? Sorry for asking, never played the original. Smile

I don't see any updated graphics. They just used original gfx and applied some kind of 2xSAI gfx filter Sad

I really liked the game back then. But yea, it looks pretty bad, and the filter makes it even worse i think. If they would have increased the resolution at least Sad

Without redrawing the original 2D art increasing the resolution would just make things even more pixelated, I'm pretty sure that's why they use that filter to try and make the game look a bit sharper though it does have various other effects as well, maybe it can be disabled.

oh that kind of sucks. i didnt see any screens or video, i was just going from info in the links above. i read 'updated graphics and controls' and imagined hd art and animation, and possibly an option for a more current twin stick setup for controls. too bad if the graphic 'update' was not an update. i was happily fantasizing about those classic character designs rendered with moar pixels and colours Sad

Its more like re-release than remake. Kind of shame, was looking forward to a true remake.

Looks like shit. I wouldn't mind a more or less 1:1 graphics from the originals but if they don't remove crap like money disappearing after 5 seconds on the ground or the lack of money being split evenly I don't see any point playing it.

Might as well just play it on a emulator instead

Distinction being that I'm bitching about a specific example and not the entire developer population on the planet.

One is reasonable, the other is not.
