- Thread starter Spiral Insanity

Sounds great. Always wanted to play it. Also, seems like a better remaster than the phantom dust one.
It is. It also supports widescreen resolutions.

I really can't believe Voodoo Vince is making it back before any of the Sega exclusives on that system.

I remember it being ok for it's time. These days? I don't see it holding up. And by remaster I hope they really mean remake.

Huh... This is something I asked for.
Good on Microsoft.
Now give me Otogi 1 & 2.

I know right? this is literally the last game I expected to get a remaster before most of the other more notable Xbox classics like JSRF or Ninja Gaiden Black.

Voodoo Vince is owned by Microsoft. Way easier than remastering a third party IP.

Be still my beating heart... Hopefully all the music makes it through intact.

Phil is a good dude, this game was great. I hope between this and Phantom Dust that's a sign that a decent amount of original Xbox games are being looked at. Would love to get Crimson Skies and Blood Wake back into my life.

finally phil spencer's true agenda has been revealed
I hate this game because whenever I look for the first two yakuza games on ebay i just get flooded with results for thisI think you are referring to Wreckless: The Yakuza Missions.

That's it!!! Wreckless 2 looked even crazier but I don't think it came to the US. Thanks.

it was a very nice game which followed Crash Bandicoot gameplay-wise, with the addition of free-roaming areas.
Loved the level design actually, it had interesting solutions.
Also, the overall style and humor were spot-on.
As usual for a Xbox game, it gained way more complains than it deserved, it is a nice platformer. Can't wait to see how it is remastered.

This is such a weird announcement.
And yet, it makes me very happy.

I disagree. It was an excellent game with a very good multiplayer component. Loved it a lot, most probably more than the PC one.

Cool, Blinx was better though
I wish MS would go all the way and do some 'Xbox Classics' collections, with half a dozen games in each pack from the various genres.

When I saw this thread yesterday I was wondering how long it would be until you showed up in it because of that.

Phil Spencer certainly seems to love Voodoo Vince https://youtu.be/7WEIHPAJa7M?t=112
Ill give it a try. We dont really seem to get too many 3D platformers anymore, and there certainly was a lot of good ones back then.

Ehm... 1st party VS third party.
I mean, it is not like they can say "Ok, let's remaster this Sega game".

This came out of left field. Game is actually really fun. I remember playing it back in the day but never picked it up. I would play this.
So I guess Beep owns Voodoo Vince now? Quickly glancing at trademarks for it, they all appear to be dead. MS either abandoned or canceled all of them.
Makes sense considering the Steam greenlight too. If MS still owned it surely they would be publishing it as well and they certainly wouldn't need to go through Steam greenlight.

Voodoo Vince? That came out of left field, bodes well for Blinx and kakuto Chojin.

Wait, I thought MS owned Voodoo Vince? If they didn't this probably would be releasing everwhere.

So is Quantum Break, and they own that.
As long as your game runs on Windows (Xbox, UWP, Win32 etc), Microsoft couldn't give a shit where you decide to publish it.
