The press release might not say much, but that art hints at some cool images in the game (hopefully not all translated to 3D)

Rocket Knight Adventures may have been the best game on the Sega. Hopefully, it won't be full of shit, but that's the way games have been going lately.

I also hope it's by the same people that brought us the original, but since it's a reboot, this probably won't be happening. Goddamn it, I'm kind of looking forward to this game but I'm very weary of it. I guess I'll just play the original and long for more.

It's being made by Climax Group, the British company that made Silent Hill: Shattered Memories. Richard Mitchell may say "when it comes to Rocket Knight, we'll take what we can get," but considering the developer, I don't see any reason to give this game special treatment just because the original three games were good, this has virtually nothing in common with them.

This game was outsourced to an unrelated company, uses 3D graphics, and appears to have a fairly low budget. There have been dozens of sequels and remakes to 8 and 16-bit games that share these three qualities and the only one to please most of the fans was Bionic Commando Rearmed. The odds are not good for this one.

Well then, I'm very disappointed. Maybe they should just release the old Rocket Knight games on Xbox Live or the PSN. It's not like it matters, I still have my Sega Genesis, and I'm pretty sure I could find the games on eBay.

Awrsome. I'd be really hyped if I could forget what the actual game looks like.

I agree, the art style does look stupid.

Wait, is this Animal Farm the animated series? Hell they even have a pig that looks like Napoleon.

That Sparkster looks terrible. Can't say the rest of the art is getting me very excited either...

I am confused...

Wasn't Axel always dressed in purple armor?

I'm just happy I saw the trailer and know the characters won't be as anime'fied as they show in this concept art.

So, I actually registered an account just to point this out, but is that pig on the podium really flipping the bird?

I hope sparkster and the dark knight dun look totally like this, and look more like the classic genesis version. Much more ambigious characters ^^

Wow. Ages since the last RK game, and now they revive it finally, but it looks like crap. Words cannot express how disappointed I am in Climax for what they have done to one of my favorite childhood video games.
