Sounds cool! I have no warm fuzzy feelings for these types of graphics, so for me it is a little TOO old school, but the idea behind it sounds really cool and I wish him all the best!

@Thepaintedtarget Here's the thing though... we don't know how close that is to the original script or not. I know there are two camps on this topic. I am on camp liberty.

Localizers should definitely give characters a voice that suits the setting. You simply cannot directly translate Japanese. It makes for awful reading. And if you can make some additions that make sense and make thengame BETTER for the audience, then you should.

Some games are clearly translated verbatim and they are awful. Some have been given a fitting voice and are great. Some have been translated verbatim and are great, some have been turned into reddit posts and are awful.

Mehh... it's not like they did an amazing job. So far, aside from maybe cleaning up some obvious mistakes, I haven't seen much improvement. In fact, it feels like a step back, though that might be rose tinted glasses for the original on my part.

I picked up Various Daylife on the cheap the other day. Now there is a game that understand that its setting needs a different tone than Saturday morning cartoon speak. At least there the characters FEEL like they llive in a medieval fantasy land.

Now, the original Suikoden wasn't a masterpiece in dialogue, but that was a different time. I would've liked them to have made it more appropriate to the setting in this remaster.

Still love it, though.

Well, that was probably the worst YouTube video I have ever started, so... good fit?

Sorry, could NOT follow that horrid voice over.

And Japan had an overabundance of visual novel-esque smut games... I am sure there were worse offensers in that area.

@RetroMasters Time Extension has been VERY clear, from the very first time they covered the story, that it was very likely a scam. If anyone placed an order because of an article here, maybe read said article before you take a plunge.

@Razieluigi Hahaha.

I cannot help myself, I love this saga.

"Paul W.S. Anderson is no stranger to adapting video games for the big screen"

Well... he's no stranger to attaching a video game franchise name to a big screen movie. He has done nothing but butcher each and every franchise. I kinda liked the first RE movie, but I wouldn't call it an RE movie. They could've called the Umbrella Corp anything else. I don't even recall a single RE character being in the first movie. The rest of the movie series was dross.

Monster Hunter as an isekai. Sure... Makes no sense, but sure. Why not, right?

I guess Mortal Kombat had the spirit of the series right, I guess.

@Kurokage I looked it up, and honestly it's pretty much an additional cut scene, a simple mini game... don't think we miss out on all too much. It would've been nice but it's no biggy.

@Thedashfox I would say you are missing out on 3. A few characters from 1 and 2 return, and I personally felt the pay-off for playing all of them in succession is pretty great. I only played it for the first time about two or three years ago, and I am glad I did. It has a different scope to 1 and 2, but I loved it.

@JoystickWaggler Same! Funny. I even managed to get it running on my PS2 with a flash cart, but only ever bothered once it became available on PS3, even though I had the means.

Don't think I ever saw the artwork at the top of the article. Thanks for sharing that.

Also never knew about the pirate attack or other expanded story event. Did know about the cat.

Shame it didn't get in. It should've, if you ask me. Ah well, doesn't mean I won't enjoy it, though I will admit it has lost its magic a bit, since I've already replayed it quite a few times.

It's not a lazy comparison when it is very clearly the exact inspiration for the game. Which is fine, those games are very popular and well... a good fit for one another. This doesn't look bad at all. Not my cuppa, but I am sure there will be lots of folks who will enjoy it.

No...the terms Soulslike, or Roguelike, or (shudders) Roguelite... BARF... those are lazy terms. What you are writing here is simply a very apt descriptor.

Ah, yes, "guy standing at a mic, in the spotlight", a far superior choice for a fantasy adventure game.

@zazou703 You can't stop addicted people buying drugs. They will get some one way or the other. You cán help them with their addiction, but that would require more empathy than the American government and many Americans can muster.

@nilcam The "they" in my statement referred to the drugs. I may have been unclear on tthat.But it doesn't matter anyways, the US government doesn't care about anything.

Those names sound Belgian. And if they are, let me tell you, the Belgians know a thing or two about this type of horror.

And if they are Dutch. Well... I guess we know a thing or two about coding... so either way, this will end up good.

@zazou703 If tarrifs are stopping people from sending drugs, then they were legal to begin with. All tarrifs will then do is sending it into illegal trade territory.

But you know what, all this is currently the least of our problems anyways. There is far worse that is happening and will happen.

@Quick_Man The real-time decline is a beautiful thing to behold.

So he is renaming it Super Console, which would lead anyone not familiar with the ongoing thing to believe it is something of a Super Nintendo type emulation device. Instead of Sega. Good call!

And he had the perfect name in his hand. We gave it to him on a golden platter. SuperSaga would be a great name.

Even for a scam.

@MSaturn Yeah those circles are a giveaway. The sitting crowd... at a rock concert... also not what an artist would think of. And take a look at the drum set. The speakers also look weird.

At first glance it may not look super obvious, but dig just a tiny bit deeper and it becomes apparent.

The Crash one is less obvious, but that flying bazooka is odd at least...

Call of Duty: Zombie Defender... even the title sounds like shovelware trash. AI art simply reinforces that.

I miss my illegal 31-in-one NES cartridge, and the other so many-in-one cartridge my friend had. Those games felt so exotic. Even the obvious hacks.

So glad FOMO hardly affects me.

So who is this guy, the nephew of the SuperSega dude? They talk the same type of nonsense.

"That happened to be my nickname." Really? That's what you are going with?

This looks amazing. Hope it will be ported. I would be down for this on Switch.

@RG-Riven What makes them awful?

Well, it certainly looks cool. I would read through it for mistakes if I had any time. Alas, I severely lack any. I don't even have time to play it...

But it looks cool!

@HoyeBoye Prime Video. It's not bad, actually. Not great, but also not bad.

@slider1983 Not as good good? Or not as good bad?

So a director with slapstick, slapstick and some... slapstick under his belt is going to direct this. Sounds like another Van Damme film.

@TheVaudevillain @MARl0 Yes, I was referring to 2. I know it's not floating in the sky but it has the same feel. And hearing now how 1 and 2 are apparently conceptually very different just convinces me more that it's not a series for me.

Still, wish the devs of this all the best. It does look good.

@RejectedAng3L Someone already mentioned it is an S, not an 8. It just really looks like an 8.

It looks amazing and I wish the dev all the best. It's not for me, I never liked the idea of sky ships and floating islands, but for what it tries to do, it does it extremely well.

Never liked Skies of Arcadia, and by extension, I also disliked Xenoblade, so I guess the whole idea just doesn't work for me.

That said, I am very envious of the team's clear skill. I wish I had the skill and time to make a game. Sadly, I lack the time to learn the skills.

You may laugh at this, but I have had similar ideas.

An F1 racing game without F1 cars in it.
A WWII game but it takes place in 1768 and features no humans.
A soccer game but without a ball. And no, not something else as the ball. Just 22 humans on a field.

These are GOOD ideas.

If Sony re-released the PS1 and games were re-issued with potential new games in the same vein, I would buy it.

I stopped buying PS after 2. I only bought a PS3 off of a friend, hardly touched it, and I only happen to have a PS4 as a hand me down, and while my kids played a few games on it, I haven't even touched it for one second.

I would be all over a new PS1. Still a few games I missed out on, and it just plays better on original hardware.

Well, he himself ended up a real Pirate of Coin, so it is only fitting to update it.

Is all that art from the original game? My word what a beautiful game for that era.

@Azuris That would indeed be cool. Soul Blazer, Illusion of Gaia and Terranigma wrapped in a bundle.

I'd love it.

This game needs a re-release. Doesn't even have to be remade, just a rom running on new hardware would be fine. I'd double dip.

@Steel76 Seeing as the account was made a minute before this comment, I would say that assessment is quite accurate.

Imagine going through the trouble of registering an account just to post such a ridiculous comment.

@segasteve Well... I definitely need glasses now... sob sob

Why... why is there an 8 in the title?

First off, good call. Then I was like "Well, now he deserves at least a cameo" before reading about not one, but two games to feature him. And I also never heard of that battle royale game so learned something new.

Fun stuff.

Lost Eden. Man, that takes me back. One of my first PC games. I remember it as a very odd game for sure. It wasn't very long. In fact, I feel like it was possible to finish it very, very quickly indeed... I had to look up some gameplay, I seemed to remember only small portions of it. Good times though.

Dune, not so much. That game was BRUTAL! Okay, okay! Still good times, but I never could get far.

Well, the trolls have infected this place too.

For example, our good friend and loyal reader Craftylover, a valued member of this site since 3.35, 2 minutes before posting this.

Talk about getting a life and growing up. Imagine creating an account just to tell people you grow tired of the fear mongering.

Oh well... I guess I will go to the next article. Hopefully no trolls there.

@jimmytodgers Well, it worked in America, so why not in Spain? Honestly, with all the leftfield plot twist things constantly happening next in the SuperSegaSaga, I wouldn't be surprised if this guy ends up trying to become the president of Spain.

He won't win, but he might try!

@profkross That was actually the previous episode.

Anyways, Ricky Gervais and his team could definitely make this into a hit series.

@DestructoDisk Gematsu states it will be released in Japan, so doubtful.

Shame...

@smoreon I'm the other way around. The game's premise sounds good, but I never liked the N64 era graphics.

But what happened to the Christmas miracle?!?

Unreal Engine has pretty assets. Almost makes me want to try and make something.

But that trailer looks... uneventful.

That image is 100% Guile about to tell us to not do drugs, or he is about to walk up to a couple of bullies and instead of sonic boom their behinds will kindly tell them it is not okay and they immediately understand.

Honestly, by the looks of the art style, this may just have well been a crossover with G.I. Joe anyways. Guile certainly fits the part.

Darkstalkers looks terrible.

@OldManHermit Oh they ALL did!! And we love it!

Lol, indeed.... Super Off Road... On Foot.

The automated subtitles on this YouTube video are hillarious by the way.

@BulkSlash Oh wait, Game Boy POCKET.

Right, reading comprehension failed...
