Quartermann: New Strider in the works, Kojima may be working on FPS
The other tidbit is that Metal Gear Solid guru Hideo Kojima may be working on a first-person shooter. Allegedly Kojima has been to FPS studios Infinity Ward (Call of Duty 4) and Guerrilla Games (Killzone 2) for reasons unknown. Maybe he's just trying to learn how to make a

Remember how bad the nintendo port was, and how great the genesis version was. My first fanboy flame war... those were the days.

The NES Strider was a different game not a port of the arcade like the Genesis and PCE-CD versions.
The NES game was a great game unless you were expecting something comparable to the arcade.
Just like the 3 Ninja Gaidens on NES were nothing like the Genesis port of the arcade so I think your past flame war was a bit unfair.

The NES Strider game was awesome. That is all.

New Strider?!? WANT!
That's fuckin awesome and unexpected news. I loved that game.
that guy @ Oct 3rd 2008 2:50PM
Not that I believe either of these rumours until more solid info is released, but can I get a 'WHOA!' to both?? Strider (NES baby) rocked, and Hideo Kojima + anything = awesome.

I'm glad I'm not the only person who enjoyed Boktai!
Noshino @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:28PM
I used to get out late from school, so I had to skip school just to be able to play Boktai, stupid sun!
Courtney @ Oct 3rd 2008 2:57PM
Wow, that's a game I had completely forgotten about.
Capcom following the BC path would make sense. Remake the 2D version, followed by a 3D re-imagining of the franchise. I would expect them to wait and see how sales of the new BC do before greenlighting a full 3D, modern version.
jumpshot @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:01PM
Well, revisiting only one franchise is not likely enough data anyway. I'm glad they're going this route. Hopefully we'll see the same all their franchises.
Bloo @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:00PM
more Strider = Awesome
anything Kojima = Awesome
FemaleOrca @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:03PM
Maybe they want Kojima san to rap over the end credits of COD6.

The NES Strider box art was much more bester.

your just trying to pick a fight. Troll.
Haha JK.

Hot damn. Strider was the "bonus" gift I received when I got my Genesis for Xmas back in '90.
Professor Lario @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:17PM
Capcom Classics Collection 2 includes the arcade version of Strider in all its glory.
aristokrat @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:31PM
Woah! 8mega memory? It's not often I encounter a number I've never heard of before...
jeff @ Oct 3rd 2008 3:55PM
I had the NES version and it was so awful

I remember finding this game late in the Genesis's life cycle. You could barely find it in stores. I eventually found it at one of those stores. Where they have a catalog and computer. You add what you want on the computer then pay for it there. then you wait in a pickup line that has a treadmill bringing in the items from the warehouse. strider took an extra long time to showup. when strider finally appeared on the treadmill. the clerk told me. that was the last one and we almost couldn't find it. the box had thick dust on it. i was happy to get it though.

Does anyone remember the level where you rode dinosaurs? That level was full of so much win!
That one level has inspired the creationist movement for the past decade or so!
Divine Dirtclod @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:14PM
Does anyone remember how much the original Genesis version cost? I remember having to save up quite a bit when I was around fourteen years old. And I certainly remember gawking over the unbelievable graphics. 8MegaMemory FTW!

Kojima + Infinity Ward = GAMING ORGASM!!
HandSandwich @ Oct 3rd 2008 4:43PM
Wait a second. It has 8 mega memory?! Good Jeebus!
Misfit Toy @ Oct 3rd 2008 5:22PM
Gosh, remember when 8 MEGA MEMORY was such a big deal. I loved this game. Could never beat it though.
seishino @ Oct 3rd 2008 6:52PM
The two games from that era which I still play to this day are Strider and Bionic Commando. I can still beat it on one credit. The idea of a proper Strider remake or reinvisioning or reboot brings joy to my withered joypad thumb.
BTW, There have actually been two Strider sequels so far, Strider II and Strider 2. II was a pale Genesis cash-in quickly made by a different company, and Strider 2 was a Capcom remake in the PS1 days that suffered from frequent 20-second loads and a general lack of amazing moments. However, the PS1 Strider 2 actually came with an emulated version of the arcade Strider 1.
For the record, the best version IMHO was the PS1 remake. It had the visuals of the arcade, but the amazing audio work and some of the retuning of the genesis version. Unfortunately, in the Genesis version they re-timed a section of the last level to be basically impossible to do cleanly, and that also came across to the PS1.

Why has no one noticed that dude on the box is TOTALLY KEIFER SULLIVAN?
i smell another season of 24 in the works... strider style
Brian Fantana @ Oct 3rd 2008 10:05PM
About fucking time.
Alzheimers @ Oct 4th 2008 1:22AM
STRIDER!
NES - Yes!
Genesis - YES!
Do them BOTH, FFS!
holyice7 @ Oct 4th 2008 2:43AM
Kojima's working on a shooter? I believe my previous statements regarding secret work done by Kojima is in order.
Boktai! Boktai! Boktai!
Please? T__T
dskz @ Oct 4th 2008 7:13AM
wow.. quartermann is still around?
Strider 8 Meg woooooo!!!!!
I couldnt get into the NES one.
Karn Eggie @ Oct 4th 2008 9:21AM
my uncle gave me this game when i was like 10, it was so much fun. i never got a chance to play the PS1 version of the game but i can remember NEXT mag when PS2 came out showing the game with the upgraded graphics PS2 could do for PS1 games.
but it brings a tear to my eye that they would even consider it, im really happy as it was a well made game and deserves more ppl to know about it, PoPersia got 40,000 sequels and remakes its only fair.
and kojima on the warpath to make a FPS going to OTHER studios to see whats up is fascinating, i hope this materializes. and what an excellent move by teaming up with the best of the best to study how things OUGHT to be done, instead of saying I ARE KOJIMA, I CAN DO NO WRONG!!! i like that and respect him for it ... good move, humility should be rewarded with success, i wish him, his team and all of us the best of what he has to offer ... even if it isnt "perfect"
Redhobbit @ Oct 4th 2008 1:09PM
Lightsword of doom was probably the most fun action game I played on the genesis. I'd love to see a remake.
Abscissa @ Oct 5th 2008 2:17AM
Sweet :) I loved Strider 2 (Even though the discs had the labels mixed up). And Strider 1. And the NES Strider 1.
I like Strider :)
