I'm okay with this. I loved that game.

That works well for EU-GAF, the OG never made it's way here, lol.

 

[Haunted]

best announcement so far

 

[Sinatar]

The second best game from the OG Xbox (Ninja Gaiden Black being numero uno).

It's backwards compatible with 360, worth checking out. Though without the online mode, maybe not as much.

 

[shuri]

here is the original gaf thread about the first Phantom Dust.

 

[majian]

For all the people upset it is a remake Killer Instinct is a remake and it turned out great. We can get a sequel later. I rather Phantom Dust remake over no Phantom Dust at all.

 

[benzy]

Phil Spencer you magnificent man.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

I am still recovering from this announcement.

By all rights this should not have happened.

 

[Jules Coast]

This is awesome news.

Although, I am fearful because they could emulate the Hearthstone business model (PD is essentially a "card" game where you collect skills/powers instead of cards). The Hearthstone business model is cool but I don't know if I trust M$ to do it right.

Either way, can't wait to see more.

 

[kogasu]

Best announcement so far. I can't wait! I hope they don't fuck it up. I love this game!

Tears are in my eyes

 

[Arklite]

Good to see the name back, but the art style really lost it's nuance if the final game is going to carry that teaser's aesthetics. Both this teaser and Platinum's Scalebound teaser looked decidedly Western in art.

That was my first thought. Part of Phantom Dust's appeal was its bizarre, depressive post-apocalyptic aesthetic which I hope this doesn't lose.

 

[Cheesyhobo]

Love Phantom Dust, but let me get this straight, is Double Helix remaking this? Not too interested if it's not the original team.

 

[KiraXD]

disappointed with that trailer... it went from a cool slick japanese game

to some stupid western looking game.... bleh...

 

[Squalor]

More CGI . . . great.

 

[Deputy Dangle]

An HD remake/remaster of the original is an absolute best case scenario for this. I can't fucking wait.

 

[CO_Andy]

Love Phantom Dust, but let me get this straight, is Double Helix remaking this? Not too interested if it's not the original team.

Double Helix works exclusively for Amazon now.

 

[benzy]

Hopefully MS actually promotes it this time around instead of just creating the game and not bothering to even publish it in the US like the original.

the phantom dust group here all went bananas ....this is such a megaton they just have to make people aware of how badass this original xbox title was

 

[weevles]

A little disappointed it isn't a brand new game, but I'm still excited.

 

[TheBaronOfNA]

disappointed with that trailer... it went from a cool slick japanese game

to some stupid western looking game.... bleh...

Both have a art style differtent from contemporanies, so no...

 

[Mavrikk]

So stoked, played the crap out of the first one - will purchase an Xbone for it.

 

[AHA-Lambda]

I have to echo some people here, what the hell is Phantom Dust?

 

[TechOne]

Awww yisss

 

[CO_Andy]

The character models look very Ninja Theory-esque.

 

[Skerj]

Hope my broken ass decks still work.

 

[LTWheels]

Yes!!!

 

[MightyHedgehog]

Glad that it's a reality. Can't wait to play it.

 

[Morfeo]

This looked pretty cool, but the original never came out here. Is there an easy way to play it for a european that doesnt involve importing a ntsc Xbox original?

does that mean no multiplayer..?

 

[Teknopathetic]

I'm perfectly content with a remake/remaster.

 

[Babylonian]

Got legitimately a little emotional when they had the 5 skill symbols pop up all over the stage. Perfect way to announce it. WOO!

 

[Flying Toaster]

Half you damn kids won't know what this game is. But it is huge news for us old people that remember the compact car sized xbox controllers and the fact that they were wired.

Great this is coming out.

 

[TheSeks]

WE HAVE FUCKING RETURNED.

WE IN THERE.

Spoiler

WHY NO PC PHIL!? ;____;

Gonna get an X-box for this and this alone. So Phil has done his job in getting niche fans like me that are loyal to an IP to get their console.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

It's HAPPENING!! Wish we could have seen some gameplay but I'm going to guess it's a ways out. All the same, thank you based Microsoft!

 

[Mesoian]

Day
Fucking
One

 

[Skerj]

does that mean no multiplayer..?

The original had MP.

 

[Kuroyume]

HOLY FUCKING FUCK

First xbox one killer app right there.

Now I want an XBOX One

Not as cool, but I'm cool with this. I never got to play the original's multiplayer.

 

[Babylonian]

I'm a little confused on who's developing it, though, since Double Helix is now owned by Amazon. It seems like Klobb is supervising development, but where's the team based?

 

[Tomat]

A remake/remaster of one of the best Xbox games to come out. There is literally nothing to be disappointed about. They could have rereleased the original game and given us servers to play on for all I care.

Hope the art style and music are still intact.

 

[Broder Salsa]

That works well for EU-GAF, the OG never made it's way here, lol.

That explains why I never even saw a friend play it or anything. Now just for Xbone to release in this third/fourth tier country and we might be able to play it.

 

[chriskun]

Nice, first game was so amazing.

 

[tranciful]

The original had MP.

"Relive the story exclusively on Xbox One"

 

[Despera]

I'm actually kinda glad it's a remake. I just hope that they don't try and streamline the artstyle too much.

 

[TechOne]

The original had MP.

Yes... that was the best part about the game.

 

[Chocoburger]

Never played it on the original Xbox, but I'll consider playing it if I ever buy an Xbox One.

 

[Cronox]

Cool and all, but a remake/remaster doesn't sell me on buying an Xbox One. Glad that it's being revived though, Phantom Dust was a unique game.
