Blue elves stole the code, but the new Golden Axe is still on the way
According to this thread at NeoGAF, an issue of Play Magazine set to be released a week from now has an exclusive story on the upcoming Golden Axe: Beast Rider. While it had been previously announced a year or so ago, news on the game completely vanished and many people assumed it had been canceled. With the upcoming piece in Play, at least our worries should be quelled. Now of course, we all get to wonder how horribly butchered the title will be. I want a new Golden Axe game as much as anyone else who has spent the last month playing the arcade original on the XBLA, but I have no faith in current developers to make the games of my childhood in accordance with my demanding nostalgic needs. Where the original had stupid elves stealing your stuff, this new one will undoubtedly have a sexually explicit minigame where you wrestle a cougar for the keys to a Dodge Ram. Sega, please prove me wrong. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)Oh god no, I can see it now: quick-time events instead of kicking thievish elves in the nuts.
I wondered what happened to this title, hopefully it won't end up as that Gauntlet remake. Wouldnt be awesome if they just kept it 2d with high res graphics. I luv this game when I used to play it at my cousins house back in the day. Dont fuck up Sega!! It WILL be good if bad guys scream "OH GOD!!" like in the original. That game sucked like Double Dragon on the arcade(slow movement, well DD had bad overall slowdown a la megaman but worse) but the cheese made it grate. I'm with HK on this one, Dragoon senses approaching! But curious though if it will be both land & air battles. Gotta cover two different perspectives, and why not Golden Axe.

8:25 AM on 11.27.2007 New Golden Axe = Lair? Lack of playable dwarf = FAIL, at any rateAs far as I'm concerned, it's hard to go wrong with a Golden Axe remake. Just give me a dwarf and a shedload of skeletons to fight and I'm happy. Of course, this is the games industry, and nobody ever does the right thing whe...
