Golden Axe: PS3 Pad - First Look

The game has you playing as Amazonian Tyris Flare, allowing you to roam wherever you please, instead of just moving from one battle area to the next. You will also be able to ride on the backs of various beasts, five in all, varying in size and strength.

You will also be able to fight on foot if you wish, simply by dismounting your beast and letting rip the old fashioned way. This remake will be worth keeping your eye on, as if it anything like its younger brothers, then it should turn out to be a very good game indeed.

I love Golden Axe. The magic attacks were cool and the chick was hot.

The new game looks cool but I dont know if its simplistic gameplay will fly these days.

Maybe more of a nostalgic idea than a good game idea. I think thats why I'm not that psyched for DMC4, because these days we've all played God of War.

This game will be something like GoW on prehistoric bird.

Genki5926d ago

It's a crap shoot.

Good because it's easier to garner hype, anticipation, and coverage wit the NAME, but tough because it's difficult to live up to what made the classics what they were.

Needless to say, they can't release something simple like the old game in this day and age, so it's difficult to know what to expect.

To this day, Metal Gear has been the only one to pull it off gracefully. We don't know what SF4 has in store for us, either.

I hope this is good though, it certainly has a killer look to it, very unique. It actually reminds me of the old Beastmaster movies.

if the quality is near the videos i saw lately (2006 footage) im as suere as hell am impressed it looked fantastic on the artistic side and hoefully gets some nice gameplay

TheHater5926d ago

I hope this game have the same feel as the Arcade one. If not, they I will just pass on this.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.

Agreed. Don't forget to include the classic red/white one piece for the amazon.

Fonsecap477d ago

We definitely need a good golden axe Game, dotemu should definitely do it, and Capcom should remake final fight

RetroCaptainSteve476d ago

As long as it's not like Streetwise, I agree.

Fonsecap476d ago

There was nothing "wise" about that game 😅

Gunstar Heroes was made by Treasure. I'm not sure if that IP actually belongs to Sega. If it does, the ONLY modern day developer that I think would do that game justice is Housemarque. Maybe Sega could collaborate with Sony to let them make a modern day Gunstar Heroes. I definitely think Shinobi and Afterburner need modern day remakes though.

I feel like there are stronger Sega IP's than some of the ones that were listed such as...

Vector Man
Comix Zone
Virtual On
Ranger X
Jet Set Radio
Landstalker
Eternal Champions

sourOG711d ago

A new eternal champions would be sick

TimelessDbz711d ago

Phantasy star Online 1 and Phantasy star universe.

Mopes710d ago

Sadly I think that is unlikely because of Phantasy Star Online 2

FlavorLav01711d ago

Totally agreed. That’s a good start. Here’s a few more I think would covert well.

Virtua Fighter
Fighting Vipers
Sonic Adventure
Condemned
Shinobi
Altered Beast
Shenmue (properly supported)

sourOG711d ago

Condemned criminal origins!

Snookies12711d ago

Amazing series, wish more people had known about it back in the day!

sourOG711d ago

Probably still my favorite horror game of all time. I’ve been into that kind of shit my whole life so I don’t scare easy but condemned got me. When you’re looking down a hallway and see people peaking out. The heart was kicking lmao.

I need to play it again. I played a year or 2 ago and it still held up. Graphics are obviously dated but just the premise. Like pulling pipes off of the wall and shit. You don’t see that anymore. I’d take the same game with a new can of paint, it still feels good. Multiplat remaster do it. I don’t think criminal origins ever came to PlayStation.

ZelTroidVania711d ago

As hard as it was, the Shinobi remake that came out on PS2 was decent. But yes, a new remake would be great. Always loved that series.
