I guess we'll hear more about the game whenever the embargo is up.

Com_Raven · Apr 14, 2015

Embargo should be up later this week, according to The Chinese Room on Twitter today:

Great news

Tizoc · Apr 14, 2015

Was thinking we'd see more of the game this year. I think it's releasing in either 2015 or 2016, but hopefully we get more stuff during E3.
...but who am I kidding, E3 will just have another CGI trailer, I wanna see gameplay!

wapplew · Apr 14, 2015

What else showing at the event? Is Rime there?

toddhunter · Apr 14, 2015

So... I'm thinking Guacameleeish?

Hard to say what I want out of this. I remember the original fondly...but that was mostly due to the background scrolling and not a lot else.

PirateKing · Apr 14, 2015

I was wondering where this game went. Good to see it's alive

The image in the OP is showing a build of the game playable for the press.

XDev Europe's twitter mentioned Alienation & Shadow of the Beast only.

KainXVIII · Apr 14, 2015

I wonder why they hide this game so far, is it so bad?

Game was announced too early. Don't remember the exact words, but basically the devs only had the concept video, and probably extremely super early stuff back when they first revealed it.

Sephiroth_GR_ · Apr 14, 2015

PSN,2D movement....i was hoping this would be a 3D reboot ala God of War,but considering the developer,budget probably not...oh well at least it's not dead.

Since Chinese Room tweeted about it, it is probably fair to assume that "Everybody's Gone to the Rapture" is there as well.

Yeah, but Rapture is a SSM-produced game.

Rime is produced by XDev Europe, along with Shadow of the Beast/Alienation. Since Rime wasn't mentioned by XDev's twitter, I took it as it not appearing.

Always found that weird. The Chinese Room are based in Europe (England to be precise) and would assume XDev would help them as opposed to SSM

Any Questions · Apr 14, 2015

Yay! Amiga memories ahoy!

IAmRandom31 · Apr 14, 2015

Awesome news. Can't wait to see what they deliver with the art direction of the title.

Hydrargyrus · Apr 14, 2015

Star ocean, Shadow of the beast... what a day!

Firmus_Anguis · Apr 14, 2015

And here I was worried they might've cancelled it - Great news and hopefully a great game as well!

EDIT:
Wait, this is a sidescroller!? Aw, man...

I was hoping for a God of War-esque reboot. Oh well, I'll take a "wait and see" approach to all of this!

firebranded · Apr 14, 2015

Shadow of the beast lives, tri-Ace making the next SO (exclusive to Sony no less). Man this is a great day.

Acosta · Apr 14, 2015

I am really anxious about seeing this, hope they didn't screw it.

They just have to release a stunning looking 2D/2,5D game, I don't ask for more.

All four of those games look really interesting, but only Rime is on my 2015 top 10 most anticipated, so a little sad to see it absent...

Madchad · Apr 14, 2015

need to make sure they include the original theme in the game somewhere because that was great. I really hope they make it as hard as the original as well

Infernal Monkey · Apr 14, 2015

Hopefully they don't fuck up the soundtrack.

delSai · Apr 14, 2015

Oh, i thought this was a 3D Action Slasher-God of War thingie. Anyways, looking forward to finally seeing some gameplay.

wapplew · Apr 14, 2015

I just hope it control well, I mean you got grab, counter, dodge, jump/sidestep, stun all map on different button.
Seems like it will have some learning curve.

Probably reserved for E3. Sounds like not showing it at this event was a publisher (Sony) decision more than anything else.

Piccoro · Apr 14, 2015

I can't wait to see it! Amiga lives!

biteren · Apr 14, 2015

glad to hear its not dead, im just getting tired of waiting for stuff as ridiculous as that sounds. and as E3 is almost here, im just gonna be thirstier.

Guymelef · Apr 14, 2015

Please, be a Metroidvania.

id love a remake of Firepower 2000/super SWIV

Magic Mushroom · Apr 14, 2015

Yeah, I think Rime will get a big E3 push. Sony knows they have something special on their hands.

Hanmik · Apr 14, 2015

ehh

and

Sintoid · Apr 14, 2015

Well that's surprisingly nice!

Fushichou187 · Apr 14, 2015

Almost forgot this. Can't really blame me for that, but good to know it's coming along.

Wooooo!!!!!

That looks fantastic! Here's hoping we get a gameplay trailer sometime soon. Really curious to see how this game is turning out.

Vamp · Apr 14, 2015

From this screenshots it looks like 2D sidescrolling game, I though its going to be 3D.

Guymelef · Apr 14, 2015

"Don't like" the score and limit bars life, seems arcade.

That is as it should be as a shadow of the beast game. As long as they don't add something crazy like hit detection it should be authentic.

emrober5 · Apr 14, 2015

Hmm thought this was going to be a big retail release, not a side scroller psn game.

Admittedly, I had never even heard of the old ones.

Auctopus · Apr 14, 2015

Getting Strider reboot vibes.

I'm in the same boat.

Not disappointed, but I expected a different kind of game after seeing the initial reveal trailer.

I don't think that looks too hot, but I'll reserve judgement for when I see more than just two screenshots.
