Humm... I must say that I'm not a huge fan of all these Kickstarter projects. The idea in itself has always been great, but I think we're seeing way too much of it.
That being said, a few days ago I went to a local store and was surprised to find a copy of Shadowrun SNES for 5$ with it's box. I obviously bought it and played for a while. This reminded how much I used to love that franchise.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is : I'll put money on that stupid Kickstarter project... damn you Shadowrun nostalgia.
I wasn't really worried about it. Vanillaware is such a small company, I wasn't expecting a fast development cycle or an invasion of gameplay trailers...
These guys sit pretty much at the top when it comes to modern 2D gaming and all of their games have been well received by critics and gamers alike. I don't see why they would fail in making that one game all of a sudden. Plus, the company doesn't seem to have financial problems of any kind.
Nice story, brings back memories. Oh and that soundtrack...
Anyway, reading this made me all nostalgic, and kind of angry too. You see, I used to own Grandia 2 back in the days but I couldn't finish it. My Dreamcast died and I sold all of my games... 2 years ago me and my ex-girlfriend bought the game again but I didn't play it immediately as I wanted to finish Digital Devil Saga first.
I finished DDS, we broke up and she left with Grandia. I wonder if I will ever be able to finish that game...
He is not saying that a european release is not great news. If you guys truly have any idea what Pandora's Tower is, you should know that it was ALREADY announced as a european release, and that people (including Joystiq) ALREADY rejoiced for it a while back.
What is said in this news is this :
While it's great to see an english PT trailer, americans should not get excited as no annoucement was made about a potential american release. If you do not know what the game is, or what it's localization situation is, you should not start going all emo about the subject.
Oh God... it's getting so hard to resist buying a 360 now :(
You Xbox guys are getting so many insane exclusives. I'm a total Dreamcast/Saturn junkie, so I guess I'm gonna have to betray my fanboy allegiance and buy that damn console. There are so just so many good XBLA titles.
Who thought I would end up buying a 360 for downloable games... Damn you Treasure !!!!!!!!
That was one really cool story ! I'm definitely going to be interested in this game.
We don't get enough good hack'n'slash action these days. Aside from Torchlight and Titan Quest, it's been a while since there was anything really memorable. Oh and, IT'S FREE !!!
