A guy in New Zealand is currently working on a 3D remake of Commander Keen, id's classic platformer from the year 1990. The project seems to be in development for a couple of month now, the status quo can be seen on pcgames.de (three videos and links to further information).

inofficial?

I'm pretty sure that word is uncorrect.

Lol. Seems to be translated form Danish or something. Grammar issues aside, this is sweet news. I used to love those games.

lol

I can't wait. I'm just curious to know if this will be a remake of the first "Invasion of the Vorticons" or the entire series. Although I'd kinda wish id would work on a sequel or at least remake the previous episodes for PSN and XBLA.

1990?, that's insane to think that games like that are only that old, it makes sense but it seems like even longer ago than that that I was rocking agent, halloween harry, commander keen and jetpack

those games were epic

"Halloween Harry"

oh GOD the memories!

Jill of the Jungle was a great game too, a really hard game at the time.

Opinion: Commander Keen deserves better than a mass-market mobile game

Rather than craft a nostalgia-driven tribute to the original platformers, Bethesda is instead making a free-to-play Commander Keen mobile game which looks like it will try to capture the same edgy-yet-kid-friendly vibe of games like Fortnite.

I'd like to see a remake of the original games and it come to the consoles.

Servbot411798d ago

This isn't Commander Keen. Calling that does it a disservice to the franchise.

Skuletor1798d ago

The Commander Keen games were great PC platformers, seeing him resurrected as a mobile game was pretty depressing.

I'm just confused about John Romero's initial objections towards ID being acquired by Bethesda.
They pretty much changed everything about one of his pre-ID IP's and made it lose any connection it has to the past.

Sure I understand it's probably a money thing but this could potentially be the start of more IP's going down that lane.
