Alien Breed Evolution

Quote:
"Worms creators Team17 Software formally announced its plans to release Alien Breed Evolution, an Unreal Engine 3-powered remake of its Amiga top-down shooter.

As the original Alien Breed is now 18-years-old, some of you may be too young to remember it. Think Gauntlet meets Aliens. Or, you know, think Alien Syndrome. (No, don't think of the more recent Wii re-imagining. Think of the Sega arcade original.)

Team17 didn't confirm a platform (or platforms) for Alien Breed Evolution, but we hope they'll offer co-op alien killing enjoyment for anyone with access to the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live. The "retro modern" remake is due later this year, with the developer promising more details before end of Summer."




This looks really cool. Im old enough to remember playing the original Alien Breed back in 1991!

Here is the original game's box art for a bit of nostalgia!

May the NFOrce be with you always.

Wish they'd give a proper release date.

Was news last year that it was being aimed at PS3 and Xbox 360 and coming out in april.
Admitadly it was "from a source" which is as good as "my mate told me" Very Happy

Don´t mind as long as they renew the good ones.

Bionic Commando last year was great for example.

Yeah I played it too, it's just that it seems like nothing new and unique is being made so they resort to renewing old games (I don't have anything against that, it does look cool Smile), but it seems a bit desperate... Jet these days you really need to be innovative to make sth new, as all has been seen already...

I actually wonder why they make so many crap games nowadays, if there's so much great games that need just some graphical enhacement?

I think thats what game developers are realising! Dungeon Keeper 3 is my dream!

We don't need no shitty sequel, we want a remake of Dungeon Keeper + Keeper Dungeons + some new content.

EDIT: Holy shit, wtf am I doing in the console section ?

If we ever do get a sequel to DK, it would use UE3, overuse bloom, and the good would be US Marines.

You're right! I suppose DK 2.5 would have been more accurate! Wink

What? Are you actually being serious?

We've seen quite a ton of new stuff over the past 12 months/18 months. Off the top of my head, Skate, Mirrors Edge, Assasins Creed. There's probably a ton more.

Team 17 don't have huge budgets therefore remaking an old game is perfect business sense especially in the current finacial market and especially with an IP that had a good following.

I'd personally prefer remakes of good games rather than sequels of shitty ones.

I want Chaos Engine. That'd be ace

Awww man!

This is cool news, as Nailbiter said, the orignal was one of the harder amiga games and the coop was the shit. I remember playing it so many hours with my cousin, a 14" tv and two Tac-2 joysticks. Ah shit brings back so many memories.

mace999 your pic is golden, I just get baffled by the human minds memory and how when you see a picture or smell a smell you get so many associations and remember stuff you had no idea was still in your head Smile

I had the Amiga 600, had to beg my old man to buy it for me, told him while it seemed like a lot of money, he wouldn't ever have to pay any money again, apart from blank floppies.

How do I play these XBLA scene releases? The NFOs mention copying folders which seems fairly straightforward but after Googling Im still none the wiser! I was hoping I could just copy to a USB memory stick and transfer it to the 360 that way but it would appear that is not the case!

Sadly, no. You need a JTAG'ed Xbox (basically; a machine not updated after/on June 09 and that has been flashed with a certain xploit to the internal NAND chip or external Cygnus chip)

lol Im guessing its highly unlikely my console meets those requirements! Oh well ... maybe some more waiting and one day some genius will make it easier and more applicable to everyone. Smile
