They should be careful when they start tugging the nostalgia strings, the last package by supposed ex-Rare giants was a wholly mediocre one (Playtonic), Infact Nuts and Bolts was a much better product then the Banjo clone.

I'm always up for visiting Norwegian Fjords though, so put me down as an interested party.

The lighting and texturing look very drab for this kind of a title. I wish them the best but I think they are going to need to work on some of the assets or it's going to be very hard to distinguish from titles that copy and paste open source resources.

Yeah, assets look cheap but if the platforming gameplay evolves (significantly) beyond what's in the video it could be good. Even great.

How Rare and Rare veterans seem to hit that "the worst most hideous art design in the industry" mark each and every time is amazing. I liked Battletoads art style because it cribbed from so many of the great 80's animal fighterz of the era but then Googly Eyes took over completely over there it seems and fuck me if it hasn't been an unbroken boulevard of 3D Render Test mascot rejects since.

"Golden age of Rare"

This might get them into trouble with people. It's a high bar to achieve. Also, the visual design is not cohesive. It looks kind of unfinished, despite having some nice effects. It could be fun though.

Looks extremely bland and generic so far unfortunately, like those UE4 fan-made conversions or tech demos or something. And that Uzi segment was friggin bizarre. Feels like they wanted to show fof whatever they had until now to get some support/funding.

The rush of developers trying to capitalize on Rare nostalgia sure has been a ride.

Also before reading all the David Wise posts I was going to make a post about the trailer music sounding like it fell off some royalty free CD someone found.

yeah it honestly looks like a tech demo a developer might make for a kickstarter when they need extra funding

I'm kinda interested, but I really hope they can get it to look more.. unique, it just looks like one of those generic UE4 fan remakes.

So I guess the idea in this one is that instead of playing as the twins and their dog you play as the creatures that you have to rescue on JFG?

Could be cool but gee the character is not cute at all, will give a chance for that David Wise soundtrack tho.

Well i guess it's safe to say nobody thought "Cute cuddly fuzzy critter" when thinking "Jet Force Gemini spiritual Successor"
Then again, the early press screens of JFG featured character designs that were much more kewpie doll-like in their appearance than what was in the final version.

Hard to get a handle on what the combat and platforming involves with that jarring editing. Looks quite pleasant on the surface.though.

Alright I'm interested. I've wanted a JFG2 since forever, so I guess this'll do. Dancing ants is all you need to convince me.

The characters and world have clashing art styles like those awful "nintendo game" remade in unreal engine 4 videos, also the world itself just looks dull and boring. Still hopefully this turns out good, it looks neat. And yeah the ants look ripped right out of jet force gemini
