Defender

I normally avoid modern renditions of early '80's games but from the pics I have seen, this one is looking pretty good. Anyone else interested in it?

didn't ya read my impressions while I was in Vegas last month??? (http://www.the-nextlevel.com/features/midway02) Hell yes I am interested - this is going to be an awesome game, and if Nick is online. I know he's chime in too! :D

Awesome. Thanks.

I will now repeatedly hit myself for missing those earlier.

Two-player co-op, deathmatch, Gamecube and Xbox releases! I\'m looking forward to it even more now.

I sure am interested. :D

One tidbit- Eugene Jarvis originally wanted the arcade Defender to be a first-person game, but that was seen as too complex at the time.

Next we need Sega to bring out a Galaxy Force III with this calibur of visuals.

I've been interested in this one since I first heard about it.

Can't wait to see how it turns out.

From the screenshots I've seen it looks pretty un-Defender-ish to me. I have a hard time believing that they'll be able to preserve the gameplay of the original in a 3D behind-the-ship perspective, but we'll see.

It's about time we had some discussion about this game.
I dunno, I want to be optomisitic, but this game has A LOT to
live up to. There's an interview with one of the staff members behind the game over at www.planetps2.com.

Regus: keep an open mind, I am sure you'll be impressed.

I'm trying man, I really am, but I did feel the burn after Robotron X.

:(

Hi,

Honestly the game does not feel like the classic 2D game, not by a long shot...but much of the elements that made the original so enjoyable are present. It's very hard to keep that feeling when you're shifting from one plane to another.

In that case I may just have to stick with Defender 2000 then :D
