I’d totally be lying if I didn’t say this announcement didn’t take me by complete surprise, but holy crap. One of the best 2D side scrollers on the SEGA Genesis appears to be making a comeback, and it looks pretty damn awesome!
Strider was released on the Genesis in late 1990 and even got a Master System release a couple years later. The Capcom developed game is absolutely fantastic, and this first gameplay trailer looks like it pays pretty good homage to the original while also bringing the gameplay current.
According to the video description, Strider will be available for PC, PlayStation 3 and 4, Xbox 360 and One.
Looks good. I certainly hope the sound track isn’t just drums like the trailer here though.
Kinda hoped to see a full 3D one but then it would end up like Ninja Gaiden or something I suppose.
They never seem to try anything innovative in 3D anymore it seems.
Still looks a lot like Strider 2 (PSX) game with HD visuals so they really can’t go wrong with it.
Hope it makes it to PC and has some FM chip music and sound effects as an option for nostalgia effect xD
