I remember an Ecco game announced and demo'd for the 32X, but the full game never ended up being released.
I think for those with the nostalgia goggles they are not so bad .My big hope is that they have both the genesis versions and sega cd versions, music etc was different between them. I dont know about the DC / PS2 ecco revisitation and honestly it was totally off in the weeds and even weirder especially the DC version as far as knowing where to go. There was Ecco JR which is a whole other mess. and I think some Gamegear version? I cant recall much. But yeah the Ecco games were not like modern games..... but if you played them then they do "hold up" once you know what to expect I think, Its no different in the way something like Street fighter 2 or something doesnt " hold up " because the entire weight and way characters interact is foreign to modern gaming.I remember an Ecco game announced and demo'd for the 32X, but the full game never ended up being released.

The original Ecco games do not hold up well at all. They are frustrating and difficult and obtuse. I hope it's more than a coat of paint.
I thought that was basically the SEGA CD version? The SEGA CD version was different visuals like, the dolphin model etc in the original on SEGA CD looked smoother like the tides of time model on the genesis later, but both were just better on sega CD and the audio I want to say- was the same on the PC version. I owned t he PC version as a teenager, but I do not remember it very well, I was not a big fan of the way it controlled but remember listening to the music, and being somewhat into the soundtrack but ultimately my nostalgia is for the Genesis versions of both games.
The PC version has better/higher resolution assets compared to both Genesis/Sega CD
Now- THIS SAID and accepted.... Please when looking at this direct screen grab of the game running on a more modern PC- now picture the Genesis/SEGA CD game running on a smoothed out CRT and the PC version running on a 14" CRT running 640x480 at best... I do believe its correct but it didnt "look like that" at the time on a PC monitor... unfortunately. It def was smoother, at the time , later on I did think it was more like the SEGA CD version but see now yes, it is smoothed out and there is less banding if any.. but again... depending on what you were running it on and your color depth on your PC Id imagine. This video shows the detail modes.. it would depend on your PC as to how well it ran.The PC version has better/higher resolution assets compared to both Genesis/Sega CD

To me those Windows models look awful...
I didn't say it's good. Just that it's in higher res.
Yeah, holy fuck. I hope they don't remaster/remake these games with models like that.
The other Genesis to PC ports like Comix Zone, Sonic CD, Sonic & Knuckles, etc didn't get the same treatment though. They use the same assets as the Genesis versions.
it's actually a horror game
You know what…I just made a mistake and confused Ecco with E.V.O…whoops lol
That thing scared the shit out of meA real wow moment for 11-12 year old me in 1993
Finally finding the Big Blue in the arctic levels... the thing was massive. And mindblowing. His body must've taken up five or six screens at the time.

No echo junior booThis was announced today.
Ecco the Dolphin: Complete announced, includes every version of the original entries, packed with bonus features, and all-new game
Ecco the Dolphin: Complete announced, including the two original games with new features and improvements plus an all-new entry from the original devs.
Why are they calling this a remaster? I thought this was going to be a complete remake of the original game, using a different engine and code base. Or is this going to be some rebuild of the PC game with different aspect ratio support and a few other updates? I could not imagine what a remaster of the original Genesis game would look like. The original 16-bit game looks perfect, honestly one of my favorite looking games on the system.Ecco the Dolphin remaster seemingly coming to Nintendo Switch, first details
A remaster of the SEGA classic Ecco the Dolphin appears to be coming to Nintendo Switch, and here are the first details.
\yet the Genesis version still has the better sprite. The PC port looks like a clip art image of a Dolphin. Of course the gradients are nicer. IMO, the best version of the original Ecco is on the Sega CD. This and Ecco 2 were included with the Sega Genesis Mini 2 units for both NA and japan. Ecco 1 on the Sega CD ports is almost identical to the Genesis/ MD game, but it does have a CD soundtrack, an additional intro sequences, and it also includes sic additional stages not seen in the Genesis/ MD version.The PC version has better/higher resolution assets compared to both Genesis/Sega CD

They won't include that as it wasn't by the original development team. This is meant to conclude the original line of games with the first, second, and new third game.
