Topic: Strider was released(Anybody else get it?)

[DragonSlayr81]

Hear it's great on PS4/XBONE/PC(super fluid/60FPS), but I got it on PS3 and it's pretty awesome. This and DuckTales Remastered proves that Capcom can still do good things, even if it means them teaming up with other developers to make those good things happen. Capcom needs more of THESE and less, well, the majority of the crap they produce!

i didnt even know! thanx for the update

is it digital-only release or can i buy it retail? or if i buy it retail, am i just paying for an empty box with a "download code" inside? God i hate that

is it same for DUcktales Remastered?

[Inccubus]

Ah. Thanks for the heads up. I've kept this thing in the back of my mind since it was announced. I was glad to hear they remixed the soundstrack of the original. I'll have to check it out.

[crisis]

also, do you know if they pulled a "strider 2?"

(meaning, "beating the entire game in 15 minutes due to a major overlooked flaw")

In the West, it's digital only. Sucks since Japan gets the physical release(which comes with the original Strider 1 and 2).

Too bad I didn't hold out for DuckTales as well. They eventually released the actual game on a disc. I still think I'll buy, though, if anything, for a collectors item(bought it both on Wii U and PS3).

But yeah, I heard the main complaints was that people though it looked too easy. If anything, it makes you LOOK like a badass(running around, flipping onto walls and slashing the hell out of enemies is cool as fuck), but so far, there are times(a lot of times) when if you don't watch yourself, enemies will fuck you up big time.

PS: Don't know if it contains a similar flaw as in Strider 2. Though, I'm not that far into the game.

Double PS: The backgrounds are pretty impressive. While some were iffy about the graphics and the scanlines, the locations you travel though feel anything but boring. Seeing robots and such being made in the background, as well as people walking around, taking escalator down to the trainstation(not soldiers, but a train station where you see regular people/civilians walking around and waiting for their trains to arrive), it gives the locations some interesting depth.

Does this game include the questing style of gameplay in Strider NES? While Strider 1 and 2 are cool action games, the meat of Strider NES is what I always wished to return.

I don't remember NES Strider as much as the arcade style, but this one feels very Metroidvania-esque. Again, I'm not far into the game, but it's apparent that the places I've travelled through are connected, and you acquire special abilities to help you get to new places. But, it's also pretty linear(at least so far, as I don't know if it opens up later).

Cool. It sounds like it did inherit some of the exploration of the NES version.

I picked up Ducktales remastered and I liked the nod to the NES title as the opening song is still in the NES chip tune format. It didn't take me long to finish it though, but that's no surprise since it was originally a NES title.

I like it so far, PC version is a pretty damn good port

I have played the demo this morning, and I have to say that is really good. I like the map display in the corner of the screen. I also love Ducktales Remastered, and I hope the next Capcom Disney game will be Chip & Dale

[Neobelmont]

Two best friends kind of led me on to this going to try the demo later.

I know, right? That's some seriously patronizing shit right there. As others have said, Japan got a physical PS3 release with 1 and 2 included.

Also hate to be that guy that talks about framerate, but it's dumb that Bionic Commando Rearmed, a 5 year old game, was 60 FPS on the 360 and PS3 and this isn't. Oh well, I'm still pretty hyped, even though I'm a mediocre Strider player at best with the arcade games.

Just wish I hadn't fucked up my computer, or I'd just get the Steam version.

[JohnMorris]

I preordered the game but since they wouldn't let you preload it, I didn't get to play it yesterday. I will be able to try it out once I get home today.

[Bloodreign]

Nope, just 3 versions of the arcade Strider, 1 NES Strider, and the PS1 Strider 2 release (contains one of the 3 versions of 1 I have).

Curious, what is this design flaw that Strider 2 has? If you speak of difficulty, of course it won't be hard with unlimited continues, try doing it in 1 credit and don't continue. The game isn't as easy as it looks when you limit yourself on continues, but a lot of games can be finished with unlimited continues unless they are Ghosts N Goblins hard.
