Not in a good way, imo. The combat looks janky. And the jumping in the PS1 version combined with the camera made for some frustrating moments. I hope those things are addressed as we get closer to launch. I'm getting this anyway tho.
The combat looks like MediEvil 1. As it should. So you can't please everyone as it seems. I like it.

Loved this game when I was a kid, looking forward to experiencing the game again with my son next year.

Looks about as good as can be expected I guess. They can only pretty up an awful game so much but you're still left with all the problems the original had as well.

I am guessing October 2019 since Jan, Feb, March, and April have big games.

I dont see it has a summer game really.

As long as they don't price it above £30 this should do fine. Once thebsales die down they can sell it for £10 after 6 months.

Just picked up MediEvil for the first time a few weeks ago. Yes, it's definitely aged, but I adjusted and had a great time! I'm happy to see that the combat and controls seem faithful to the original, but it'll no doubt be a point of contention.

Edit: okay, it already IS a point of contention!

This is sow eird tbh seeing that this game is kinda using UE4 for the remake while this is a first party game while the remakes of Crash and Spyro did use their proprietary engines and looked better and more unique than this. Moreover, there are some instances in the trailerr where the game lags. first I thought it was my video and then I rewatched and the lags occured in the same locations.
I expected a little much more from a remake tbh. Something within the levels of Crash and Spyro. I feel a little disappointed.

Edit: First it started as a joke made by some fan using UE4. Dunno if the joke was real at that time or not, to test people's reactions and demand for such remake.

People already talking about the price tag couldn't be less subtle about what they mean if they tried.

Certain aspects of the combat are just really bad design wise (if not broken), no one can argue otherwise. So it's strange seeing so many people defend it.

Because it's a remake. Do you know what a remaster is? Just a resolution bump and some textures are updated, not rebuilt from the ground up.
You got me there, but that combat still looks like hot garbage in 2018. I loved MediEvil on PS1. But I've played it recently and it could use some updates in the gameplay area. I just want to see this get the same about amount of love that SotC got.

Friends, ghouls and yearning spirits, we have the frighteningly good fortune to unveil the first trailer for MediEvil for the PlayStation 4.

Sir Daniel Fortesque first shook off his premature burial 20 years ago and has had a dedicated fan base ever since. We believe those of you who come to this title anew will find the bones of the story remain strong.

Yeah I think Sony wants to revive the game into something bigger maybe?

I never played the original but the combat system/hit feedback looks absolutely terrible. It begs the question why you would remake a game with such poor mechanics in the first place unless you were going to modernize/improve them to meet todays standards.

Looks like a modern AA game, and I mean that in the best way possible. It'll definitely help balance out Sony's catalogue.

Judging by the likes and comments in the US trailer, seems lots of people like what they see.

Im stoked for this. Played a lot of MediEvil as a child, nothing I ever really begged for but for everyone that really wanted this, Im so happy for you! I got my Spyro, its a great feeling :)

Lets hope Sir Daniel also ressurects Playstation All Stars while he's at it lol

Yeah who wants play a significantly better looking version of a game they love like Crash right?
Of course it'll sell. I'm buying it. Everyone in this thread is probably buying it. But how many complaints are there about Crash's gameplay being too faithful? I think they even changed Crash 1 to be a bit easier.

Never played the original, but I dig the graphics. What is the gameplay like? Is it a platformer?

Oh neat, they're using the PSP remake's soundtrack. It was absolutely amazing so I'm glad more people will get to hear it

I hope so. I want Sir Dan back. A big new game would be great.
I could go play the PS1 copy on my Vita.
Go do it :)

For those who want the amazing trailer music:

Bits used in the trailer are about 2 minutes in

Doesn't look too good to be honest, are they trying to imitate the psx animation and framerate? I dig the artstyle tho

hope it sells well

I remember Puppeteer was great but it was at the end of a life cycle and didn't get much love

this is a remake but this gen we saw most remakes get tons of love which will hopefully make Sony look on to reviving other old IPs

Eh I'll stick to the regular versions. This looks far too cartoony for me. Maybe it's just my memory but the original art style was a lot better than what they did here.

That looks fantastic. I loved the original and can't wait to play it again on the PS4.

I think they're trying to recreate the look of the concept art, which was much more colorful and honestly did not have much resemble to the in-game PS1 graphics.

The game so nice they remade it twice. Shows you how in demand it is. Love that laugh at the menu screen.

Yup that's MediEvil.

I'm (grave) digging the artstyle but frame rate and camera need a lot of work.

100% getting this at launch though.
