Despite the fact that the Dreamcast and Neo Geo are essentially dead, owners of the classic consoles can look forward to a brand new title -- GunLord. It's a Euro-style platformer reminiscent of classics like Turrican. It focuses on exploration and action as you traverse nine stages and annihilate 45 different types of foe.
It looks wonderful and is heavy with nostalgia. Sadly I don't own the appropriate consoles and thus I'm left admiring the pretty pictures and videos. GunLord comes out on Neo Geo (MVS) in December and Dreamcast and Neo Geo (AES) early next year.
The fact that the Dreamcast homebrew scene is still alive today and that new games are still released for it proves that it is the most enduring console of all time.
I still crack out my Dreamcast to get my Project Justice on...oh,how I would love for the Rival Schools series to come back.
Anyways,this game looks interesting,I might check it out eventually.
"We made a game that doesn't comply with the modern quality standards of other new games, so we're gonna release it for ancient consoles that people expect low quality from."
Wow, good on em for doing this. I highly doubt they expected any kind of financial success, because of the obvious, so the "why bother?" comments are missing the point.
This is for love of the platform and game, end of story.
