I was an SNES kid (since I was 8/9 when the Genesis/SNES came out and I got one of those) so I don't have any nostalgia for this series. That said I missed the Dreamcast game and am sorry for that (whether it was good or not doesn't matter). Totally interested in another shot to try out the series. Hope something comes out of this.
Absolutely loved Ecco, its sequel, liked Ecco Jr., abs the Dreamcast game is so unique. If you want to see an Ecco fan, you're welcome
Not much of an ecco fan, i never could understand it when i was a kid. but i guess i could always give it another chance. i wonder if its going to be a wii u exclusive. Lol that would make the fans wanting some blood. amirite :P
I was never a fan of the Ecco franchise, but at the same time, it's rather neat that SEGA is giving the creator a chance to talk to the higher ups about a possible reboot of sorts. Who knows, maybe if the project is approved and gets released, I may change how I feel about Ecco. :)

The mystery and exploration behind the game is really wondrous, and the depth and lack of air lead to some very exciting and scary gameplay. The sequel the you into such a bizarre scenario that it really felt far away and a large burden was on your shoulders. Probably my favorite Genesis game!

Sega can't even afford to make the games people do want. What the fuck would be the point of them making this?
I'm with NSboss, Sega is in shambles and is dragging platinum down with them, I don't see how them reviving a long dead mediocre IP is gonna help.
Not to mention, what kind of production values would it even have given Sega's lack of money.

I would welcome Ecco's return with open arms, but I can't help but feel like it'll be a resounding disappointment like a fucking iOS port or something. Sadly, I also think I gotta agree with NSSboss. Damn industry making me jaded and shit, I'll still hope for the best.
So many good memories of Ecco, and playing it with my dad. I'd love to see a new one, even if it was a straight to steam/Psn/xbl game. Hell, I'd prefer that over a iOS game at least.
@sweaty dingus - Hi,pleased to meet you. And yes it was. It was unbelievable when it was released. It did things no other game did, at least that I knew of, and it did them really well.
Screw you guys! I still love Ecco. And as someone who craves horror in all forms of media, I can honestly say the original game is the scariest thing I have ever played. Highly subjective, of course..
Oh fuck! Hell yeah new Ecco game! The original was one of my favourites. All of the cryptic, poetic messages you'd get from other sea life, the strange puzzle elements, and if you were patient the level design emerged in to something amazing - with level names alluding to Pink Floyd. Not to mention having one of the best soundtracks ever; Welcome to the Machine was such a haunting track -http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UO7Fvd48By8
And they got fuckin Spencer Nilsen back for the soundtrack! Couldn't be happier.

I loved the first two Ecco games so much! They were definitely my favorite Genesis games.
@Penguingod: Have you ever even played Ecco? It's absolutely not an easy game.

@NSSboss@ Kyousuke Nanbu I see the "we must hate SEGA because it's cool" locomotive is still rolling along the tracks.
I really enjoyed these games when I was a kid. A lot of the time, I wouldn't even bother playing the actual game, I'd just play it as a dolphin simulator.
In the early parts of the game, there were other dolphins swimming around and I'd just do crazy jumps and flips alongside them. The game definitely nailed the whole "being a dolphin" thing, for a 16-bit game anyway.
The game itself was crazy hard in the later levels, I never actually finished any of these games. I'd usually end up drowning.
If they do get the green light on a new game, I just hope they can get the feel right. Unless they get it to control and play JUST right, the whole thing will be sunk before it even gets a chance to come up for air.

@Jack Fear
You're totally right. This game was inexplicably scary at times. I think it was a perfect storm of claustrophobia, aliens and an over-active imagination.

You can go fuck yourself for posting the Vortex Queen. That was the last thing I needed to see during coffee time.
This is great, though! And thanks for posting it, always love me some Ecco loooove.

You guys didn't get Max Anarchy and Bayonetta 2 published by Sega. Let's hope the creator is trying to get the IP, and have it released through someone else.
Just imagine, if a new Ecco The Dolphin sequel was also a Wii-U exclusive¿!
I'd like to see the furor, just to watch.

I'd like another 3D Ecco game. To be honest, I wasn't much of a game when the original games came out. I had an SNES near the end of it's cycle with a handful of games. (DKC!)
I bough a used Sega from a movie rental store that I can't recall the name of and bought the Ecco games for it. They were fun but with my limited skills also damn hard!
I ended up buying 2 Dreamcasts dirt cheap at $100 for both from Toys'r'Us and I bought the Ecco game for it as well.
My skills were better the. But still not great. I got past the great white and into the levels that started getting dark and gloomy.
Honestly, I never finished it because of those levels. I loved the beautiful blues of the sea in the early levels it according to my guide those types of levels were few and far between.
I'd buy one if it spent more time in levels like the opening ones from the Dreamcast and less on air management and cave/tunnel exploration.

I played the Genesis Eccos a couple days ago. I really didn't enjoy the experience. For a lot of reasons.
If they make a good game I would check it out. But I won't hold my nonexistent zombie breath.

"@NSSboss@ Kyousuke Nanbu I see the "we must hate SEGA because it's cool" locomotive is still rolling along the tracks."
I'm to old to give 1/16 of a rat's asshole of what strangers on the internet think of me, I don't hate Sega cause its "cool" I hate them because they're horribly incompetent company who fuck even their own flagship games up, on top of this they're dragging Platinum down as well.
In short, fuck Sega.
Also this ended up being a music CD, not a game, BWAHAHAHA.

"Ecco fans, I need you to follow & tweethank @scottfoe, he convinced SEGA to meet with me now chances of a new Ecco the Dolphin x100!"
Such high faith...Going to be really sad if he gets shot down (or caught in a net and put in a tuna can, as it were)
Ball doesn't seem rolling, just seems like he got a meeting to make a pitch.. far from rolling.

For me, the game didn't hold up even back then. I suppose I can see why some people might like it and how it was kind of innovative... but I just didn't understand the gameplay, in fact every time I pick it up on compilations or for download to try again, I either die very quickly, get confused on what to do next or just get bored with swimming everywhere.
