Crazy. Congrats to those who haven't been able to play this yet.

We did get a Geometry Wars 3... shame it wasn't very good. Lets hope Activision make Retro Evolved 2 BC.
I can't see why Epic would do that really (I'm assuming there is no partnership with MS on the remaster)

why did you say this?
Sorry, was just considering the previous exclusivity to xbox. I didn't mean to sabotage the party ...
But is the game fully owned by Epic? Or was Microsoft a "partner" in some sense on the original game?
Feels good.

Cant wait to replay it.

I've always wanted to try this game, but I never got around to getting it on Xbox Live.
Is the game really that good?

I hope it will be on UE4, not a bad game, but not worthly of double dip (for me) if there is only 1080p upgrade..
A little overrated, unlike Metroid series it has very bland world and enemy design.

Epic owned both Gears and Shadow Complex, MS published it on XBLA but I don't think they have any ownership over it. MS and Epic are still on good terms but I can't see why MS are getting involved involved in it unless they wanted a native XB1 port too
I wouldn't be surprised if similarly to Super Meat Boy, they agreed to a 5 year exclusivity deal (without scope for a self published PC release like SMB had), which has now expired. I think there's a few examples of deals like that from MS around that time (Mass Effect comes to mind).

Oh hell yes
Have it on the 360 but will buy on PC just to support the game in hopes for a sequel

to those who didn't play it on 360 it's a blast. I replayed it recently and unfortunately for me it didn't have much replayability as I don't know the upgrades and map design didn't do it for me a second time.
Hopefully this ushers a sequel though.

six years means nothing for a platform that will last forever.

It's by far the best Metroidvania on the 360 and a really good game.
Stiff competition came out earlier in the year, so I don't quite think it'll have the same impact it would've had a couple months earlier (though perhaps it was the success of Axiom Verge and Ori and the Blind Forest that finally convinced them to do the remaster), but it's still a good game you should look forward to playing if you're a fan of the genre.

If it's not from CHAIR, what's the point?

I did play it on 360, but I will buy this again because it's a good game I want to replay.

I must be the only one* who thought this was rather mediocre as far as Metroidvanias go and suspect it was only popular because it came out in a time where there was a drought of them (not so much anymore). Everything about it was just so... bland.

hope they touch up the character models and the weird, imprecise jumping.
people are allowed to like whatever they like, but, agreed.

I really hope this comes to PS4 as well. I don't see any reason why not, seeing as it's listed as an Epic game and MS probably won't have any involvement.
Although morally I don't know if I'd buy this because I think Orson Scott Card is a complete and utter waste of oxygen, so a bit divided on this.

Well sure. But try to imagine, say, a KS of this game being presented today, after all the Metroidvanias we've had. I'm almost certain no one would give a shit. So I think timing does have something to do with the game's popularity.

Great game but I'm not sure if I want to double dip since I already have it Xbox one. Maybe I'll bite if it goes on sale in the future.

MS could have funded it in the past or some similar deal. It's like when some Sony former exclusive comes to PC, it doesn't necessarily releases on Xbox as well.

There's a lot of fans still waiting for Chair to announce the sequel instead of making Infinity Blade games so I would say the demand is still there. The metroidvania gameplay was great. Everything else was bland to me. That power suit you get later on though is the game's saving grace.
