Dragon's Lair DS will be arcade accurate, lifting its video assets from the remastered high-definition HD version released on the PC and, more recently, on Blu-Ray. Players will have the ability to play the game in different ways: held normally on a single screen, or, as shown, across both screens while holding the unit in its "book" form a la Brain Age. The conversion will feature the arcade perfect mode as well as the updated "home" version that added a handful of extra scenes.

[Jcgamer60]

Is this game supposed to be good?

[iconoclast]

This looks horrible, and I was a big fan of the original Dragon Lair games, along with Space Ace. The space between the two screens shouldnt split the picture like that, it looks terrible. Without trying to troll or anything (I love my DS) this is a game better suited for PSP.

[Saterium]

That gap between the screens looks fantastic...

[Mistouze]

Is this supposed to be a game? BTW the vertical setup looks shitty.

[Chris Michael]

wow... what? This came out of left field.

Can the game even fit on the DS? It's basically all FMV.

[ethelred]

Is this game supposed to be good?

Seriously? There are people out there that haven't played Dragon's Lair before?

[TheJollyCorner]

That gap between the screens looks fantastic...

:lol

[VOOK]

Do they have to release this "Game" on everything? Hell its on Blu-Ray, Laserdisc, that Phillips thing, make it stop!

[Jcgamer60]

Seriously? There are people out there that haven't played Dragon's Lair before?

Unfortunately.

[Wario64]

played this for amiga :P

[Joe Molotov]

Is this game supposed to be good?

No, but back in the 1980's, thousands of people were tricked into believing it was.

[sykoex]

Srew this, BRING BACK ROAD AVENGER!

[jooey]

all this does is remind me I should buy the old game boy dragon's lair someday.

[Jcgamer60]

No, but back in the 1980's, thousands of people were tricked into believing it was.

Oh, i see.

[666]

I don't care about this game, but it's just another reason why nintendo should, and will, release the DSultrawesome with no gap in the dual screens. Would sure as hell help in Yoshi's island...

[M3wThr33]

[Xiaoki]

No, but back in the 1980's, thousands of people were tricked into believing it was.

Yeah, because here in 2007 we NEVER get games that are all graphics and no gameplay anymore.

Bad idea all around. I mean, who comes up with this crap? How about a DS port of Space Ace for the bad idea hat trick.

[666]

hahahah! I guess though if they did put the screens together, or extended teh screens down, there'd be nothing there to display unless it was written for it.

[Greenpanda]

Yeah, that graphical setup really doesn't work.

[Scenester]

Srew this, BRING BACK ROAD AVENGER!

QFT, love the Soundtrack. And Dragons Lair DS = zzzzzzzz

[DavidDayton]

The scary thing is that I'd buy this, just because.

I am SLIGHTLY curious about these "extra scenes" the mutter about.

[Angelus]

Oh, i see.

Ignore him.
Let the idiot continue to open his mouth while we laugh at him.
:lol

[Jcgamer60]

Ignore him. Let the idiot continue to open his mouth while we laugh at him. :lol

You're calling me an idiot?

[Scenester]

:lol

[RobertM]

Literally split screen.

[Jcgamer60]

Ignore him. Let the idiot continue to open his mouth while we laugh at him. :lol

Well, don't you have anything intelligent to say other than insulting me for no reason?

[Link316]

think I'll just stick with my GBC version

[Wario64]

Well, don't you have anything intelligent to say other than insulting me for no reason?

Maybe if you quote him a third time, he'll answer you

[Jcgamer60]

Maybe if you quote him a third time, he'll answer you

Perhaps, but no point getting worked up over some random internet kid who gets a kick out of cheap shots.

[Angelus]

Well, don't you have anything intelligent to say other than insulting me for no reason?

When you come along and ignorantly rip a game that was huge for its time you deserve to have your ass ripped.

[Angelus]

Well, don't you have anything intelligent to say other than insulting me for no reason?

No, no.
I was speaking about Joe Molotov.

[Joe Molotov]

Yeah, because here in 2007 we NEVER get games that are all graphics and no gameplay anymore.

Sure, some games appear to have more attention spent on graphics than gameplay, but Dragon's Lair was literally all the about the graphics. It was basically a cartoon with maybe 20-30 QTE's thrown in to give it the appearance that you were playing it. I like Don Bluth's animation as much as anyone, but Dragon's Lair and it's spawn just really weren't that great as games.

[fernoca]

:lol :lol :lol

[Jcgamer60]

No, no. I was speaking about Joe Molotov.

My apologies then. For the record, i would never ignorantly rip a game i know nothing about :)

[tetrisgrammaton]

he's right. this is one of the worst games ever. worse than e.t., worse than superman 64, worse than legend of kage, worse than micheal jordon:chaos in the windy city. its that bad

[Angelus]

Shakes head. Some of you kids really need to go back and see how games like this paved the way for cinematic games like Final Fantasy and ShenMue. It may have been a simon sez game,but the crowds it attracted,the sense of urgency when playing,it all was a nice experience for its time.

[ninjaurbano]

* Dual-Screen (book-style) & Single Screen Support (top-down default mode)

"This means that players have two modes of play; one is a single screen mode (bottom screen) true to the original with score and stats on the top screen; from a settings menu the player can opt for the more elegant dual-screen mode."

quote from the interview

[Lyte Edge]

OH BOY DRAGON'S LAIR

AGAIN

AND AGAIN

AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN

I LOVE OLD GAMES WITH NO GAME PLAY

Well, it was kind of cool to see it on the Gameboy Color...

[lethial]

That experience was on a full screen monitor, this is on a split-screen ds lite.

Edit: Does include single screen gameplay after all.

The only thing it paved the way for was a bunch of crappy "Me-Too" Interactive Movies that polluted the CD-ROM gaming market for years, before someone finally figured out that you could put actual gameplay on a CD-ROM game. Text Adventures had as much to do with paving the way for cinematic games as Dragon's Lair did.

all the more reason to dislike it :D

Seriously, this game was a crowd pleaser back then. I know someone who baught the freakin' arcade and played it so much, he was able to beat the game with his eyes closed (he demonstated this to us, too).

Too bad they're doing a half-arse job with this, it could be a great adventure game on the DS (toss in some Quest for Glory style RPG elements and you got my pre-order).

I think it's more like the game paved the way for all the crappy game-play devoid FMV games that hit consoles and PCs some years later.

[Scenester]

:lol :lol

This thread is really starting to sizzle

[Angelus]

Heh-I wouldn't touch the game on a handheld either. I have the DVD version and still go back and play it from time to time. Thats all I need.

Speaking of Dragon's Lair Perhaps the DS version will make it out for the yearly 2008 release.

:lol Holy crap!

I would love to see a totally reworked Dragon's Lair...You know...One with gameplay.

Either hi-resolution 2D or 3D with perfect cel shading. I know that requires more work than porting it AGAIN but it would be nice.
