The first Shadow of the Beast was instant nostalgia. I love the music. The Game Over sequence of part II is simply Iconic. I'm sold on any Shadow of the Beast follow-up as it is.
Other threads on Sega-16 on the PS4 Shadow of the Beast, though:

Those links are from "The Latest Feature" thread. At first I was thinking of posting on that thread but I felt it wouldn't get a lot of attention because Shadow of the Beast its not the current Sega -16 "latest feature".Quote:

The good: The landscape looks much more Roger Dean-esque than the last time I saw it.
The bad: I'm not a fan of the God of War influence in the gameplay.
The ugly: Too much blood.
You mean like... Shadow of the Beast? :lol: :lol: :lol:Quote:

Yeah, it did really have a God of War vibe to me as well.

Well that sucks.
The game still looks bland to me. Sorry, just saying it as I see it, don't mean to be negative. I love Shadow of the Beast 1 & 2, as well as the lesser known third one, but this reboot just feels wrong.
The first two games were renowned for their fiendishly unfair puzzles; this looks nothing like that, and more of a low grade 2D Indie beat'em up with pretty visuals. I'm not impressed, and frankly, the lack of a physical release doesn't help matters. I'll wait for the reviews before I make up my mind to buy it or not.
I'm not thrilled at all we're not getting a physical release. Saw it coming, though.
Yeah, so much stuff is digital only now. But the Asian English release is a good option since the PS4 is region free. $30 USD is pretty cheap for a brand new PS4 game.Quote:
