[Finaika]

Looks like a rip-off of Diablo.

 

[Baleoce]

I loved Gauntlet as a kid. You have my interest.

 

[Foaloal]

Trailer makes it look kinda meh but I enjoyed Gauntlet back in the day so I'll check this out unless the impressions around release are really negative.

 

[VSigma]

Y'know, I've honestly never played a Gauntlet game, though the series has had a bit of my interest for a little bit. This may very well be the first in the series I try.

 

[JaseC]

Believe Jase!

If it actually happens I will forgive WB for Arkham Asylum vanilla-gate.

 

[marrec]

In case you guys are wondering, Arrowhead Studios made Magicka, Showdown Effect, and Helldivers.

So they seem uniquely qualified for a new Gauntlet game.

 

[Fuz]

DO.
FUCKING.
WANT.


I loved the original as a kid.

 

[inky]

Have to echo the sentiments here. Came expecting mobile F2P garbage, but leave surprised with the trailer, developer and choice of platform. Will keep an eye out.

 

[Dolor]

SteamOS support aRPG? Will buy.

 

[TheSpoiler]

Looks like a rip-off of Diablo.

Diablo is the only game to be an isometric ARPG.

 

[Somax]

YES
YES
YES

Need something like this after Hammerwatch.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Please for the love of god Warner, release games for the suffering and Psi-Ops.
Those were easily the best of the lot from midway back during the PS2 era.

 

[Santar]

The OP mentions procedural dungeons. I imagine that's what they must mean.

Oh I didn't catch that, awesome!

 

[Some Nobody]

Oh man, that actually is a Gauntlet game, no weird loot systems thrown in or anything, I'm sorry for doubting you WB.

My only complaint is how far zoomed out it is.

Same complaint, but it's a PC game so I kind of expect it. If there's a console version (and there really, really should be), hopefully it won't be as bad.

 

[Easy_D]

Blood went with Monolith to WB after the buyout, but WB let the trademarks expire and later sold the IP back to Atari.

Oh god now I remember. I must have blocked it off completely. All my hopes and dreams #dead

 

[Rootbeer]

Has my attention. Pretty much a guaranteed buy since it's on Steam. Not sure if it'll be a day-1 get or not though. Need pricing, multiplayer and DLC info.

 

[JaseC]

Oh god now I remember. I must have blocked it off completely. All my hopes and dreams #dead

Fork Parker (Devolver) said he'd go after the Blood IP if Shadow Warrior 2013 did well but as far as I can recall there was never an update.

 

[SparkTR]

PC exclusive seems like a really weird decision.

Action RPGs have been pretty big on PC recently. It's certainly not the first, looking at Torchlight 2, Grimdawn, Path of Exile and The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing 2.

 

[Deques]

Gauntlet developed by Arrowhead Studios? The same Arrowhead Studios that made Magicka? I thought they were tied to Paradox Interactive

 

[Munin]

Well I am glad Arrowhead got with a big publisher this time, I'm guessing Showdown Effect didn't do very well. It just kinda faded away extremely quickly after release.

 

[Hex]

Looks like a rip-off of Diablo.

LOL no, it looks like Gauntlet

 

[SpinningBirdKick]

It's about time Gauntlet was rebooted, it's well overdue.

The trailer looks decent enough.

It will be interesting to see if it can handle large rooms packed wall to wall with creatures like the original.

 

[R1CHO]

Fuck, better than my best hopes... Classic perspective, perfect studio for the game, this can be GOOD

 

[scitek]

In case you guys are wondering, Arrowhead Studios made Magicka, Showdown Effect, and Helldivers.

So they seem uniquely qualified for a new Gauntlet game.

Yeah, I just looked them up, and as soon as I saw they made Magika, I was like "perfect fit."

 

[Lingxor]

Legit surprised by the restraint on the Valkyrie design.

 

[Sentenza]

Well I am glad Arrowhead got with a big publisher this time, I'm guessing Showdown Effect didn't do very well. It just kinda faded away extremely quickly after release.

It wasn't even bad, but the multiplayer was scarcely populated and it never got any decent post-release support... So yeah, I'm guessing it bombed for them.

 

[Alcotholic]

I like how they use "Elf" as a class instead of ranger.

 

[entremet]

Seems like WB is putting some care into the Midway properties they've acquired. Good news.

 

[scitek]

Looks like a rip-off of Diablo.

Looks like a ripoff of Blood Omen.

 

[Xater]

It wasn't even bad, but the multiplayer was scarcely populated and it never got any decent post-release support... So yeah, I'm guessing it bombed for them.

Yeah it wasn't a bad game it just didn't seem to find it's audience. Maybe Arrowhead now found it's niche with these coop games.

Elf needs food badly!

Spoiler

Elf > all

 

[reptilescorpio]

I'm a little shocked that it doesn't look like a piece of shit. My expectations of reviving old franchises these days are low but that looked legitimately like it could be worth picking up!

 

[thelatestmodel]

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but they have their work cut out if they want to compete with Diablo or Path of Exile.

 

[Castef]

Not that it bothers me, as I'm a PC gamer, but I'm a little surprised they haven't announced this for consoles too. Seems like it'd be a perfect fit.

Uhm... I smell console-exclusive agreement here...

 

[Sentenza]

Maybe I'm wrong but I'm expecting a lot of friendly fire in full Arrowhead tradition.

 

[Fantastapotamus]

So, not only is it not Free2Play but it is actually on a plattform where I want to play Gauntlet? And developed by Arrowhead? Interesting....interesting.

 

[Nirolak]

This both looks better and has a notably better developer than I expected.

 

[Easy_D]

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but they have their work cut out if they want to compete with Diablo or Path of Exile.

This ain't about that though. The Gauntlet games are more arcade'y level based affairs.

I hope *that* song shows up in the game. I forgot what the name is, but it's the one song I will always connect with Gauntlet.

 

[JMTHEFOX]

Timed PC Exclusive?
Arrowhead developing this game?

Interesting, hope this would have full controller support. I'm trying to get Logitech and Xbox 360 (for Windows) controllers.

 

[Begaria]

Aww yeah, Gauntlet's back, baby! I remember countless hours spent playing Gauntlet on the NES. I also admit to playing an unhealthy amount of Gauntlet Legends. I'll keep my eye on this new one.

 

[TheLetdown]

I'm on board all the way.

Gotham City Impostors was a solid, fun, arcade-style DD MP FPS WB game, but was hampered by the horrible wait time for servers and that "service" GFWL.

Fuck pads, busting out the TE for this one.

Well it doesn't look that much like diablo or biablo ii, it does look like diablo 3.

No it looks like the original Gauntlet. Diablo took a lot from Gauntlet much like Starcraft took a lot from Warhammer 40k.

 

[Vulcano's assistant]

LOL no, it looks like Gauntlet

Well it doesn't look that much like diablo or biablo ii, it does look like diablo 3.

 

[Nirolak]

On the one hand I kind of want to make a thread about WB Game Vault, but on the other hand I have a feeling there will be an interview about it soon.

 

[-MD-]

Sorry to sound like a party pooper, but they have their work cut out if they want to compete with Diablo or Path of Exile.

Much rather play this just based on the trailer than another minute of Diablo 3.

 

[Mr. X]

The models and 1 stage they showed seem super bland.

 

[FloatOn]

all over this.

I really hope they don't kill the hunger mechanic for the lowest common denominator.

 

[Chindogg]

If they're doing Midway games, will we get a new NBA Jam and new NFL Blitz?

 

[Turin Turambar]

Looks like a rip-off of Diablo.

This ain't about that though. The Gauntlet games are more arcade'y level based affairs.

The difference you're highlighting is not going to be enough to sway people away, I fear.
