I'm usually against "HD Remakes" but that looks pretty sweet. Maybe I'll get it one of these days if Capcom gets their act together and stops ripping off their customers.
Lol'd at the comments section though, with the older ladies and fellows blasting the kids who just don't get it. "These were REAL games." Makes me envision us as older people a little shy of a hundred years ago arguing for the artistic purity of Silent Film over these new-fangled talkies.

And so goes the charm the original had with the pixelated Scrooge sprite, and the chiptunes the NES was able to pump out.
If I wanted to see something that looks like a cartoon.... I'll watch an episode of Duck Tales. :P
I'm already satisfied I have both Duck Tales games on NES and GB.

It would be nice if they included a "Classic Mode" which reproduces the original game's graphics and music that you can switch on and off like Lucas Arts did with the Monkey Island HD Remakes.
And while normally I'd agree that making it look more like a cartoon ruins the artistic intent of the original creators, it's clear that the intent they had was to make it look as much like the cartoon as possible. So I see this just as an extension of that. And worst comes to worst, the original game will still exist and still be played by those who fondly remember it. This will just be a more accessible version for younger audiences.

I played Duck Tales 2 almost everyday in my childhood with NES.
Which reminds me I need to play that sometime, I bought it for a reason, had an entire week off, now this news reminds me that I have both games on NES and Gameboy.
To think I wrote the original off years ago as kiddie crap, but when I finally got the chance to sit down with the original by myself, I enjoyed it.

DuckTales was one of my favorite games when I was a child, playing it on my nes was fucking awesome & I even play it on my nes from time to time till this day.
So, this will be a day 1 purchase. Once again WayForward proves that they are passionate game developers.
I have still yet to play DuckTales 2 though, and it's hella expensive on ebay these days (well, expensive for an NES game). Bloodreign will you sell me your copy? o.o;

Well then, Capcom shoudl get other people to make them! If you can't trust your own in-house team to deliver a good game, or spare the money and resources to crank one out, let someone else do it for you. Folks at WayForward have said they have major interest in working with MANY companies and their franchises(they've mentioned that they'd love to do Mega Man and Castlevania, if the chance ever arrives). Hey, so be it. If there are guys like them out there willing to take the mantle and do something for these companies with franchises/properties the companies, themselves, aren't willing to touch, let it happen!

Duck Tales and Chip N Dale were a staple in the Disney Weekday Afternoon block here, I'd watch them after school as much as I could. Talespin and Darkwing Duck later came in and added to said block. Then along came the Hercules cartoon from Disney and Timon and Puumba, after this the channel that carried them quit carrying them, they all went to the Disney Channel. Disney was still running them on Toon Disney up till a few years ago, then cut it down to just Chip N Dale. Then that too saw an end and we got stuck with the schlock Toon Disney, now Disney XD airs, not a sign of Mickey or any other classic icon of theirs in sight.

You still forgot the Gummi Bears (~"Bouncing here and there and everywhere! High adventure that's beyond compare, they are the Gummi Bears!"~) Funny thing about it, the show had far less episodes per-season than others like Duck Tales, but it technically had more seasons produced.

Okay, seemingly Capcom let slide that they are also thinking about doing Remasters for Chip n' Dale Rescue Rangers, Darkwing Duck and Aladdin(SNES one), IF this one does good. Here's hoping it does!
Watch live video from Capcom-Unity on TwitchTV You can barely hear the Transylvania music. The guy SUCKS at the game, but it looks like the enemy patterns are the same as the original. The boss battle is very Castlevania-ish, since it's against Magicka DeSpell. :D
BTW, NOTICE the Metroidvania-style map briefly shown upon the end of the puzzle when Scrooge says "I've solved the puzzle" when he gets to the mirror room.

Upon announcement, at NeoGAF, I heard Disney's being more lenient regarding other developers making games for them, more or less LIKE the "old days" with Capcom and such. Well, interesting thing came to light. Seemingly Capcom was trying(for a while) to get this ball rolling, and it was actually DISNEY who suggested WayForward for the project. That's pure awesomness right there!:
Quote
Sven from Capcom USA pretty much explained that it was Capcom USA that got this game together. They've been trying for a few years to get the license and Disney recommended Way Forward for the game which Capcom eventually agreed to.
And after seeing the comparison with the new Magicka and original one, they actually added a LOT to her attack patterns. Wow! That's the kind of love I enjoy seeing. And I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Castlevania when that map popped up. :)

Even more reason Konami should let WayForward do a new Castlevania game!
Love name Draculesti Manor(making it sound Romanian) and Drake Von Vladstone(Drake both meaning "Dragon" and "male duck", and the Gladstone surname with the infamous "Vlad" added to it). I guess the little dialog was proper foreshadowing to later in the game.

Duck Tales was always begging for a more Metroidvaniaish approach, and I'm not surprised Wayforward (who're in love with the genre) added a map to this game.
I remember getting Duck Tales on christmas eve in 1990. I finished the game that very same night and was afraid to tell my parents because games are expensive toys! The great thing about Duck Tales was that I kept playing it, over and over and over. I actually think this might be the game I've finished most times. We're probably talking over 30 times or something like that. The game was incredibly easy, but it's still possibly one of the greatest platformers ever made, IMO.
This remake looks.... different. But I welcome that. I'll always prefer the 8-bit look, but this should be fun anyway. Oh, and if I know Jake Kaufman right, he'll do the soundtrack justice. *holding breath for Moon theme!*

The coolness of the box art pretty much ensures I'll pay five bucks more for the retail copy.
I mean, I'm particularly nostalgic for this game. I remember getting it in my stocking Christmas morning with a bunch of chocolate gold coins. Mind you this was after we had already opened our main presents Christmas Eve night, so it was an immense surprise to find an NES game box stuffed inside that thing.
Still have the box, too, although it's pretty banged up.

When they will launch this game? Which day from August?
August 13 for PSN, eShop and Steam. September for XBoX Live Arcade. The special "boxed edition" will be sold on August 20 for PS3.
I personally consider Jake Kaufman as one of my favorite modern game composers. Not only can he compose brilliant original stuff, you can literally put him in ANY gaming situations and he can compose music for said specific game that fits it like a glove. He's like a jack-of-all-trades as far as style is concerned. I dont' know if I said this before, but he's like an American version of Naoshi Mizuta(another one of my favorite modern game composers). They have remarkable skills to analyze music and sound, decipher what is appealing with a certain song or style and compose something similar that not only fits in flawlessly with the originals but can stand as it's own.

Well, this game sucks. The controls are nowhere near as tight as in the original, pogoing just doesn't feel fun anymore, spiders don't psyche you out by moving only halfway down, and Scrooge interrupts the gameplay every 30 seconds to talk about stuff nobody cares about.
Oh, and difficult platforming segments have been dumbed down.

Played this for a bit earlier tonight. It's Ducktales, all right. For some reason the golf swing is activated WAY too easily. Coupling this with the jump button activating the swing animation as well means wall-hugging will result in lots of unintended golf swings when you just want to jump over the shit in front of you. Also if you land too close to the edge of a block, you will go right back into standing mode rather than continuing to pogo. WHY? If I can stand there anyway, just let me continue to bounce!
It's alright. I think it sticks maybe a little too closely to the original format. Though I was never super crazy about the original (despite owning a cart of it).
Also just remembered my brother-in-law had offered me a free Steam code and I just bought the thing. Kinda wish I'd've bought Guacamelee instead and just watched the cutscenes on Youtube.

I just realized that stuff like spider-psyching is probably in Hard mode, so I'll have to start a new game and find out. That won't fix the floaty movement, though; the main move of the game just doesn't feel very exciting to pull off anymore.
Title: Re: Ducktales Remastered announced (Capcom/Wayforward)
Post by: Abnormal Freak on August 14, 2013, 08:43:12 AM
Nooooope, spider movements are still predictable.
I am enjoying it more, though. One thing I didn't notice was the default pogo action is where you press the Square button mid-air to pogo. I was pressing down like in the NES game, and I think that was messing me up. It's more fun with pogo mode set to "hard pogo" where you press down and attack to execute it.
Still not as tight as the original game, and the platforming is way super simplified, but it's fun enough to make me wanna go on. I've started skipping cutscenes because they suck anyway, and they really hamper the fun.
Beautiful graphics, great music, but my heart is reserved for the NES original.

I've watched videos of a few levels, seems they kinda fixed the "everything looks plastic" look I saw in the early trailers. There's a lot of voice quips from Scrooge (I can honestly say it's gooood to hear Alan Young still spot on with the character as well as June Foray with Magica De Spell. They are both a nice part of my teenage years, June moreso my childhood from Bullwinkle reruns as Rocket J Squirrel. I learned later Alan Young was Wilbur from Mr. Ed.), Webby still gets on my nerves, and Scrooge kinda cracks jokes about Mrs. Beakley. Launchpad's VA is still as sharp as ever, but sadly the voice of Gyro Gearloose & Flintheart Glumgold has passed on, and Gyro's VA for some reason irritates me the little time I saw him on (you can't beat good old Hal Smith whether as Glumgold or as Otis the Town Drunk in Andy Griffith re-runs). I haven't heard Flintheart yet, I'd like to hear how he sounds, if they were able to find someone close to his voice at least.

I lost my lives at the Amazon in Normal Mode. I need to sharpen my skills, as it's been a while. LOVE the Minimap, love the voiceacting (even if it interrupts the game flow at times).
I've only heard the Amazon theme and I like it... but I probably would've liked it more if it maintained that jazzy swing the original had. That probably means I will have to craft my own version. ;)

I've watched videos of a few levels, seems they kinda fixed the "everything looks plastic" look I saw in the early trailers.
They totally fixed the graphics. Even the 3D platforming models doesn't look so bad. The backgrounds really stand out as being awesomely good. I hear the guy that did the artwork for the cartoons worked on them.
So far, I haven't played it as much as I hoped to(other priorities), but I beat the African Mines. I've gotten to the boss of the Amazon but keep getting nerfed when it does the damaging pound. This game's challenging... in a good way. I can fully admit, just about ever mistake that has cause me to die was purely my fault. It's old school in that respect, you have to be patient when playing it and open your mind to enemy patterns and predict how to avoid oncoming obsticles. A lot of games don't do that anymore(it's all the "rush through the game as fast as you can, then quickly move on to the next thing/game"). I actually love the challenge. When you pass a stage(clear the boss), it feels so rewarding! ;D It's been a damn LONG while since I've felt like that with video games.
Hey WayForward... bring on Chip N Dale: Rescue Rangers next!!!! ;)

Slow down, y'all. Castle of Illusion comes out next month, let's see if that's any good.
I'm liking DT:R more now. Beat it twice, and it's taking longer than I thought to get cash. Just gonna have to spam the underground level I guess, lol. But honestly I'd rather just play the original.
Does 8-bit music get unlocked upon completing the game? I didn't see a notice for it, but I entered a code at the beginning and it gave me the feature, heh. Kind of neat, though why not include the original game?
Up, R1, Down, L1, Square, X at the Capcom logo

Haha... I know that code. That's the "Capcom Code" started in SNES's Street Fighter II games.
The original was Up R Down L Y B and it would let you pick the same characters on World Warrior. :D

Played it, can't say that I like it too much, the story kinda forced its way in too much, it is a good way to tell a story..... but it needed less pauses.

Someone else thinks that its a big slap in the face of people that have spent more money to buy that DLC code-in-a-box edition?

Little too late on the ACTUAL physical release, Capcom. I just know they'll use this as an excuse to never release the new Phoenix Wright physically. "SEE? Nobody WANTS retail copies!"

Thats a shame, since I like Phoenix Wright.

Why don't they just release the retail at the same time? Now everyone already played it and it would be just a collection item.

Thats the point, they sell a digital game first to act like a DLC (not really a DLC, but anyone that knows Capcom will understand what I mean), then they relaunch it in a disk, so you pay again for the same thing. Bravo Capcom, you did it again! >:(

Speaking of DLC vs Retail, are 3DS games still physical at all or are they all DLC now? Or is it just the boxes GameStop uses? Every time I go into a GameStop, all the 3DS cases say "GameStop DLC". I know 3DS games don't have manuals anymore most of the time, but geez, there's no longevity without a physical copy.

All games still comes in cartridges, while some can be purchased online, as a optional thing. But they have these "eShop titles only" too. But Phoenix Wright for example isnt going to receive a physical copy outside Japan, so we can expect to not receive some titles in cartridges in the future.
