@“Karasu”#p48422 I want to be excited by this but……I‘m just not? I get that this guy was cool back in the day and all (I pin his success on the mullet) and was in an ad for the game but really? We’re going to re-release this game and your bonus items are an interview with the duder from the ad? What could they have considered that might have actually gotten me to bite?

  • - How about the OST? The music in Gaiares was great! I'd have been down for that! (The Mission 5 stereo L/R Channel back and forth blew my teenage mind)

  • - Or a nice artbook of the cinema cutscenes/character mechanic designs? You know, those cool bosses you mention!
  • - Heck, even bothering to try to reach out to the devs?

    • I suppose the alternate cover is nice though.

    @“Unbeknownst2U”#p48777 the thing that bugs me the most is that it’s not a port to modern systems, just a collector-targeted rerelease for vintage hardware. Gaiares is a great enough game that it deserves a lovingly done port, not just a physical thing with a bunch of add-ons that will sell out to mostly scalpers in under a minute.

    @“Karasu”#p48783 Indeed! Put it on a console eshop and let me abuse the heck out of the rewind feature! (Probably the only way I'd get past the 2nd level now…)
