Voodoo Vince Remastered Launching April 18
- Thread starter Steiner
- Start date
Wow, pleasantly surprised by that price.
That was honestly what hooked me with the original game. ...And I just realized that the soundtrack is on iTunes. Score.

Finally, Microsoft's answer to Breath of the Wild and Horizon Zero Dawn.

The soundtrack for this game was surprisingly great. Definitely interested in the remaster.

Didn't have an Xbox (original).
Was it really good?

I'll probably still be playing Yooka-Laylee that comes out a week before this, but I look forward to playing Voodoo Vince for the first time soon after.
April low-key shaping up to be a good 3D platformer month 🤔

Never played it, but will probably check it out for that price.

Looking forward to playing this and Phantom Dust since I never owned the original Xbox.
Haha, it's an indie game tho so it still doesn't count.

I thought it was pretty forgettable, at a time when MS was really going hard throwing shit at the "mascot/platformer" wall to see what stuck (blinx, Tork, Psychonauts). It seems like an odd choice for a remaster but maybe it has a bigger cult following than I realize.

I liked it and Blinx a lot at the time.
The aesthetic and soundtrack are amazing, even now.
I've looked into other reviews of the game and it seems to be a solid action/platformer that doesn't do a lot new but at the same time, is pretty solid with it's core mechanics and gameplay.
Tight platforming, great visuals, a fantastic soundtrack and sharp humor; it's a good game for sure
. I am personally hoping to play it in the future through this remaster and if it runs on low-end Laptops, I might give it a shot when it releases.

Seeing this remastered still seems so puzzling to me, I just don't remember Voodoo Vince being a beloved game by many.

Same. A quirky game with charm, but not a game worth remastering if you ask me.
I think Blinx would have been a much better shout.

I think Spencer has some direct ties to the game (or just really likes it).

I played only a small demo, but I'll try this out when it's half off.
The original creator works at MS and wanted to do it. Worth noting that MS is not publishing the remaster, it's an ID@Xbox game.

the game has some amazing jazz music, but is otherwise a standard (not good or bad but solid) platformer. Good for them for re-releasing it.
Though there's one level that I found so amazingly distasteful that I won't play the game ever again.

where you need to lead animals into a sausage making machine. It wasn't funny then and I can't see people being cool with it now

I never played the original, but that looks interesting.
Honestly? No, it wasn't.
And before anyone asks, neither was Blinx: The Time Sweeper.

True Story: There is no one salty about another console getting Voodoo Vince.
The general aesthetic is pretty unique, with the touches of voodoo and the New Orleans setting helping that out a lot. The soundtrack is also rather fantastic. It's not an exceptional platformer by any stretch, but it's a solid one.

Good stuff. I will have to make up my mind on whether i get it on Play Anywhere, or Steam.
Now I just need to know when Phantom Dust HD releases.

There is one person out there, that one soul person, that is heartbroken it's not on other consoles.
This is nice, but its the other OG Xbox rerelease we all want to know the date on.
Curious if the $20 price tag is an indication of future releases like this.
True Story: Then there's no reason to come in this thread and compare two AAA releases to a rerelease of 14 year platformer for the original Xbox as a way to not-so-subtly shit on the consoles current library.
A post which you almost certainly saw when reading the post you responded to, and yet, here you are responding to this rather than the original shitpost to begin with.
I guess making sure people know no one asked for this is the more important of the two though, so you have a point.
There's a lot of questions still in the air about graphical enhancements for PD's rerelease, they have gone on record saying there will at least be more consistent framerate and performance, but the resolution still doesn't have a clear answer.
(also Blinx the cat when?)

XBox, W10, and Steam at the same time? Didn't expect that being published by MS.
It's not being published by MS.
The original creator, who now works at MS, wanted to remaster it and is doing so with his own independent team. MS was supportive and thought that the ID@Xbox program was a good fit.

Maybe the pubs should share the Steam / W10 sales info with MS, though...
Nah, its the mass grave your tired ass jokes keep resurrecting from.
Yes. I didn't respond to, or quote, the post you're referring to. Clearly, I'm doing my part to be a good GAF citizen.
