Flashback Legends

Once I get it downloaded, I'll make it an MPEG, which could help you out. Finding space to host it shouldn't be too hard.

[Frogacuda]

are there any other video links that I can download, cause I'm missing software to play this on.

It's MS MPEG4 Codec. Should play on any version of Media Player. All I can do is AVI, sorry.

Mine ended up coming out as quicktime, so it showed me a static screen. I got to hear the music at least!

:EDIT:

I was able to switch playing format on desktop, so the video came out alright.

The whole thing looks pretty cartoony, I kinda wish they stuck with the looks from the original. I did notice 2 problems, the sounds from the gun they're using suck, so I'm hoping it's just a different weapon and with the scrolling, I'm wondering how they're gonna work out the differences where you look around the area you're trying to figure out. The original had static screens for a reason, so I'm in deep hope this doesn't complicate things.

I love the vid, thanks for posting it. If anyone would like it, I've re-encoded the vid as an MPEG, and I am now hoping to upload it to a Yahoo Group I made so the vid can be made available for download.

I'm kinda wondering what the developers of fade to black would think of this?

NAH-UH!! NEVER HAPPENED!!
BWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!

(ok stupid post)

So do you have any details on what the storyline is or where this is taking place?

The story and cutscenes are in place, but the language selection doesn't work so it's french only.

So I don't really know what's going on.

Wow.

We can only hope someone picks this up and finishes it.

I agree! The GBA doesn't have very many really good, cerebral action-adventure platformers.

I do think the landscapes seem a little too bright and cheery for Flashback. Someone compared the new art style to Rayman, which is also what it reminded me of at first glance. I'm not particularly fond of the perfectly-symmetrical flowers with the cartoon-like outlines. The distant background looks gorgeous just as it is.

The old-style Conrad character looks just like he did in the original Flashback, but somehow seems out of place with the more cartoonish artwork. Whoever finishes development on this game should try to maintain a consistent art style. They should either adjust the foreground colors and artwork a bit, or update Conrad's appearance so he fits in better.

I just played the beta briefly. The intro is cool but the game is far more cartoon-ish and far less serious looking than its predecessors. I'm not big on the new look but the gameplay seems to be there.

Thanks again Frogacuda for exposing this to us. I hope it does come out.

Oh, man, the original Flashback was one of my all-time favorite Genny games, I had been waiting on the thing for almost a year before it's release, gobbling up every bit of info about it whenever I could.

I have to say, though, from the look of the forests and enemies in this one it looks more like a remake than a sequel, along the lines of last year's Lunar Legend.

It's not. It's a sequel.
