The first details on Sega and Secret Level's long announced Golden Axe update have been revealed in the latest issue of PSM3.
If you're looking for a straight update you're probably going to be disappointed, because the classic bruiser has been pretty much completely re-imagined in the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 update.
First off, you now play as one Amazonian hero, the scantily clad Tyris Flare, instead of the original game's trio of fantasy stereotypes. Gillus the dwarf and Ax Battler are still in the game, says PSM3, but only as supporting cast.

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.
Okay, Sega. the devs of Streets of Rage 4 together and let's make a new Golden Axe happen.
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.
Can you have lesbian sex in this game? LOL i am so funny, funniest guy in here, hhahaha i love my self
time to fly on a giant eagles back guys.....
Back in my youth i used to go down the arcade and spend upto £1.00 playing this game (5 x 20p)...... I would be happy if it was an arcade port, i`ve got a funny feeling its going to be like watching William Shatner putting on a leotard though..... BAD!
Doesn't this mean that game will no longer have co-op? And what's with the open world approach. They could have easily chose a different name for the game if it's not much faithfull to the originals.
come on sega, do this franchise justice dont burn it like sonic, bring back the glory sega days
