so what about this?
back then capcom already fucked things up.
oh yeah... this is pretty interesting:

Strider Returns was a some kind of one-off licensing deal to publisher, U.S. Gold, and developer, Tiertex. Game was slow and sucked and is way different from whatever Grin was developing, I'm sure.
Can't wait to play a nicely-emulated package of Strider and its official sequel, but I hope that whatever the new one is will be a remake of the NES game in 2.5D, like Bionic Commando Rearmed. Probably not, though.

1942 Joint Strike, Commando 3, SSF2T HDR, BC Rearmed 2... Capcom USA's track record with HD retro revivals is pretty much awful. BC Rearmed was like a fluke.

Make it a stealth game but the stealth is based on speed. Make strider amazingly fast but if you are spotted because you didnt build up enough speed you are basically done for.
based ArcSys. man, I would flip.
If ArcSys could surprise the hell out of me in 2011, there have to be some other devs out there that could still make an excellent 2D action platformer.
maybe even devs still employed at Capcom!
Really hoping for 3d game 2d gameplay...with art direction taken from Strider 2...god Strider 1 looks bad
Old and bland

I'm sorry, bland?

Strider 1 >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Strider 2
Yeah Strider was about as far from "bland" as you could possibly get, from the art style, game play and ( again) excellent soundtrack it had it's own feel to it. The airship level was always my favorite. Funny as hell when you made a mistake and stepped on one of those catapult things and it sent your ass flying off the ship at high speed.

Strider 2 (Strider Returns) is a piece of s that Capcom should never let happen.
The original Strider is a great memory from my childhood. Let`s hope Capcom does not destroy it. Any remake new version should have futuristic soviet soldiers!
And bland, really?

Indeed.
Members of the politburo joining and transforming into a giant uroboro.
The mechanical gorilla exploding and setting the place on fire.
The headhunter chasing you, running downhill to the section where you can only see black silhouettes against those purple animated clouds, hitching a ride on the helicopters to reach the flying battleship, the 3 Chinese dancers, the zero gravity room where you're sent orbitating around that...spherical thing.
And the soundtrack, with 3/5 different tracks for each stage.
Bland ?
The official sequel from Capcom.*
I said 'disgrace to the original'.
U.S.gold's Strider 2 was a disgrace to humanity.
* still a good game on its own, mind you, but had nothing of what made the original legendary

Strider's first boss has the entire Russian political body joining together into a giant snake dragon thing
Not many games can say that
Not many games have a giant mechagorilla either

Yep
a couple generations too early for 2D sprites on 3D backgrounds. I was fine with it in Hard Corps Uprising
but Strider 2 looked like straight up booty

Eh it looked fine to me, though I'd loooooooooove to see what it'd look on dat Vita OLED.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I'd really just like to see them do a good port of Strider 2 for XBLA or something. The arcade version was much better than what we got on the PS1.

yeah, nostalgia is such a powerful thing. i've bought a few of these 10/15 dollar remakes, only to play them a few minutes and never touch them again.
but i feel like i'd def play this one more.
Playing those games with infinite continues makes zero sense unless you're actively trying to remove all of the challenge and tension and decision-making.

X-men/Simpsons arcade was never good, though. XBLA just exposed your childhood for frauds
I've been subjected to horrible games such as Quantum Theory, Super Man 64, Damnation and Ninja Gaiden 3, BloodRayne (WayForward version) just happen to be one of them.

As opposed to the masterpieces that were BloodRayne 1 and BloodRayne 2, amirite?
You have got to be kidding if you honestly think there's any comparison between it and garbage like that.
Seriously. Games like Mindjack and Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City belong alongside the crap he mentioned.
You sound upset dude, relax. I don't think I ever said Bloodrayne 1 and 2 were masterpieces. Learn how to read next time before you get so defensive.
Gameplay was horrible, controls were horrible. The character was all over the place. I love hard games even some to the point of getting me a little frustrated, but this game was beyond frustrating mainly due to the shitty gameplay and controls.
I've never played them, so I wouldn't know. I only listed games I've played and there are more I can probably list on there like Duke Nukem Forever, Too Human and Wik: Fable Souls.

WayForward BloodRayne was so damn bad
Yeah, we're done here. Even I know how to distinguish between games I simply don't like (DmC, RE6) and digital afterbirth.
Yeah, no. Especially not compared to things like...those. Just...ugh.
Project X Zone was probably even more of a legal nightmare, no?

It's not 1/10 disaster zone like DNF or SM64, but it's still 5/10 "pretty damn ass" tier
Then we're just going to have to disagree.

Viewtiful Joe 3 is never coming.
This is truth. It's horrible.
So is this. I bought Xmen to play with my kid, though. He loved playing as Wolvie.
What? I like that game, what's so bad about it?

Really loose slippery platforming if that makes sense
really annoying in a game that demands alot of the player in that regard. I remember alot of jumps requiring that backwards higher jump that was a pain in the ass to do
Basically the game controlled like shit

I was always sad the (rumored) Dreamcast port never happened. Tech Romancer and Plasma Sword were such a step up. :/

I've always heard people saying the arcade looked better than the PS1 version. I saw them side by side and saw no difference. I would love to see a breakdown comparison between them to see where are the differences.

Also, Mac owner. So unless they do an OSX version that's out too.
And before anybody says it, I'm running off an SSD, no real room for a Windows partition. And I totally can't be bothered to set up an external Windows boot disk, that's too much effort when I have too many games backlogged already.
It's just, y'know, this is Strider. That's my jam.
