EuroGamer: "After Burner Climax has a unique merit; it's a spectacular celebration of Sega's arcade aesthetic. The skies are so rich and saturated that the colour is intoxicating. Clouds add to the sense of pace and the first stage's shimmering sea is a perfect update of the original. The landscapes rush by so fast that you don't really notice how low-poly they can be, and it doesn't matter - they still look gorgeous. Breakneck dashes along canyons and through arctic underground bases are thrilling, while volcanic islands, aurora borealis and hazy deserts are worth replaying just to soak up their visual splendour."
After Burner Climax launched on home consoles and PC back in 2010, and we've seen very little of the series since.
These remakes and remasters are must-haves in this next generation.
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
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.
