Due out sometime this month, Dragon's Lair will be coming to PSN in HD with trophies.

http://www.psnstores.com/2010/11/rumor-dragons-lair-coming-to-psn/

There is no price yet, but there should be an official announcement soon.

Dirk the Daring and Princess Daphne outfits from the classic Dragons Lair franchise are also going to be in Home.

Creepy as hell.

a Master Ninja · Nov 17, 2010

Great news for the Heavy Rain and God of War 3 crowd!

But seriously, does anybody still enjoy playing Dragon's Lair at this point? It's a classic to an extent, but it is hard for me to revisit.

In HD is interesting, though.

Also I am pretty sure it is just the Blu-ray release ported to psn.

EDIT: Ah.

Prime crotch · Nov 17, 2010

I'm a sucker for HD 2D animation though, and Dragon Lair is pretty

I really hope it isn't over $5, I don't think I can justify paying any more than that.

Also I am pretty sure it is just the Blu-ray release ported to psn.

LiK · Nov 17, 2010

Unexpected, I already have the blu-ray version.

webrunner · Nov 17, 2010

Finally someone thought to revive this oft-forgotten classic for a modern system.

It will be interesting to visit for the first time for plenty of people I reckon.

It wasn't good when it came out, just cool to watch.

That said, the GBC version was impressive as hell as a tech piece.

stuminus3 · Nov 17, 2010

This game was shit 27 years ago. It's amazing they've been able to get so much out of it over the years... especially considering the laser disc technology that gained it attention in the first place stopped being impressive many, many, many, many years ago.

Don motherfucking Bluth, though. <3

Revolutionary · Nov 17, 2010

Dragon's Lair was just before my time and thus, I was never able to actually play it. Therefore, I'll definitely be checking it out for the first time come next week (or the next).

Dragons Lair is pretty much the prototype to the modern Quick Time Event, later evolved to it's modern form by Shenmue, which was used extensively by God of War.

jim-jam bongs · Nov 17, 2010

If you don't have to sit there swearing and pumping coins into an arcade-machine because you pushed left instead of right then it's not the real DL experience.

Jim · Nov 17, 2010

I'm a sucker for Dragon's Lair.. so I'm in

depends on price and Trophies

I bet $10 and gold trophy is complete game without dying once

Princess Skittles · Nov 17, 2010

Dragon's Lair is barely a game, what can they even do with trophies other than "Complete with less than X misses?"

That should be the only damn trophy.

if you understood the heavy rain part, then you understood the god of war 3 part.

rhino4evr · Nov 17, 2010

What ALWAYS annoys me is that they keep re-releasing Dragons Lair which has aged poorly, but they never release the vastly superior Dragons Lair 2.: Time Warp. Why not release space ace also and call it the Bluth trilogy pack?

Silver trophy for actually buying it

They have done this on DVD and Blu-Ray a million times.

Roto13 · Nov 17, 2010

Dragon's Lair is on everything already. Christ, Dragon's Lair is on DSiWare. (And the second one is getting a DSiWare release too.)

ULTROS! · Nov 17, 2010

Looking forward to it, hope it's not horribly expensive.

I bet once you finish the game, you'll get all the trophies (and one trophy for finishing the game without dying at all).

vazel · Nov 17, 2010

I'll be buying this for Don Bluth animation not the gameplay. Hopefully it's no more than $9.99 the BD is overpriced.

water_wendi · Nov 17, 2010

DRAGONS LAIR! THE FANTASY ADVENTURE WHERE YOU BECOME A VALIANT KNIGHT ON A QUEST TO RESCUE THE FAIR PRINCESS FROM THE CLUTCHES OF AN EVIL DRAGON!

Burned in my mind forever from the waaaaay too loud machine at Malibu Grand Prix when i was like 5. Shut the fuck up! im trying to play Kangaroo, FFS!

theBishop · Nov 17, 2010

Move support?

KibblesBits · Nov 17, 2010

You can't put a price on Don Bluth's works.
I guess I'll be getting this day one.

Combichristoffersen · Nov 17, 2010

I might get it if it's priced fairly. At least it should be more entertaining than the shitty NES game.

Dan · Nov 17, 2010

I've never played this, so I'm kinda interested if only from a historical perspective. Have to see the price though.

Going from the most recent release on the iPhone, I'd guess the following:

Beat game, without continuing, without dying, with indicators turned off (yellow flashes), see all deaths.

I could also see "checkpoint" achievements for the more famous rooms, like the Black Knight, Horse Armor ride, and Half-pipe.

Ronabo · Nov 17, 2010

Whatever happened to the DS version that was planned?

edit: dur reading above answers my question.

Perfect Blue · Nov 17, 2010

They should release the NES version in HD.

consoul · Nov 17, 2010

kassatsu said:

It can't be. BD-Java is janky on PS3. I have the BD release and it has never worked perfectly on PS3. It's performance has also changed under different firmwares.

The HD remaster looks great, but they'd better be recoding it in something more robust than BD-Java.

ChackanKun · Nov 17, 2010

I have it on my iPhone so...guess that's enough lol

What they should do is a new one!

I suppose I'm just confused at the insinuation that God of War titles are almost entirely QTE's.

I understand that Heavy Rain is largely QTE driven, more so than God of War. Then again, it is Master Ninja so it should have been pretty obvious to me from the start why he said it...

pcostabel · Nov 17, 2010

It's probably the Xbox version. It was in HD already:

Zachack · Nov 17, 2010

Can't tell if that DL3D comment is serious.

vg260 · Nov 17, 2010

I ADORED Dragons's Lair as a kid. It was like my favorite thing, ever. But enough is enough. No more ports. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD MAKE IT STOP!!!!!!! This has got to be the record for the most conversions ever made. It's unreal how many times it's been re-released.

You know I'm sensitive to the "Move" word. Can you elaborate on what that means?

That's really stretching it but whatevs, the animation is absolutely amazing for anybody who hasn't watched it yet, at least.

in god of war you have, for cetain enemies/sections you have to press a a particular button at a particular time. failure to do so results in you dying or the enemy getting their health back

mm04 · Nov 19, 2010

I loved the game when I was a kid. Used to be able to finish the game with 1 life. Boy, through time my ability to memorize has declined astronomically! That being said, it is a game that's more fun to watch than anything else.

Damnit, I'm already horribly behind in PSN games I want to buy. I wonder how big of a download it'll be though... not that it matters to me, I've got HD space to burn. Hope they do the other two games in the series too.

Barkley's Justice · Nov 19, 2010

man, that's a little pricey...i mean, i think i bought this on iphone for 99cents...it's arguably the same game. $5 sounds much more appropriate. i'm glad ya'll remastered it and whatnot but

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
