YES! Beautiful graphical and musical design for a game that screams Sega Genesis. The real console would weep with so much action/sprites on screen, but the 16-bit spirit or yore is alive in here. Only complaint would be the use of Sonic the Hedgehog jump SFX. Nevertheless, I'll keep a close eye on this one, for sure.

Deadline is officially over and the hammer of justice will be coming down hard on those who missed it ...or something. Thanks again to each and every one of you for all the efforts, time and talent you've contributed to this little tribute album. As DusK mentioned, we're working with a mutual-approval system. Once we're both confident with your remix, we'll be giving you the green light for final in PM. Please don't just send a WAV and assume you're done.It's been said a few times already, but be aware that every finished track still need to go through OCR eval. Make sure to keep all relevant project files and plugins, etc. so that you're able to implement whatever changes are required by the staff a couple weeks/months from now. Oh, and WAV files must be 44kHz, 1411kbps, stereo. Please make sure to export/encode your track properly before linking it to us. We'll be needing everyone to write a couple lines about their remix and their source tune. Feel free to add a few words about the game as well, if like us you've got fond memories of GH. Additionally, include links to portfolios you're comfortable linking people to. This will all go in the "about" section of the project website. The album isn't listed in the OCR consent list yet, but as everyone needs to sign it, we'll be inquiring about that soon. Stay tuned. Seeing as everyone is super close to finishing their remixes, we'll be setting a cutoff deadline soon. Like ...VERY SOON.

My PM inbox has been re-opened for business, so be aggressive with it. Let the final WAV showdown begin!

Kanpai shimasho omedetou, chthonic-san!

Now I'm gonna have to trademark this one eventually. Still can't believe this mix really made it to OCR. Reading djp's glowing praise makes me feel a tiny bit proud of my work, for the first time in a very long time. Huge props to Larry for giving me a chance back in 2011 despite my relative noobishness, and for never letting go of the project despite multiple setbacks. Thanks to DusK, without whom this mix would have only been ethnic-weaksauce with fake geetarz, instead of ethnic-weaksauce with proper shreddage. If anyone's interested, there's a music video for this remix: http://youtu.be/HzeMKaYxz8w

Thanks for the kind words guys! I'm back, though my unattended inbox filled up to the brink during the week. DusK forwarded me most of the new wips, but if you tried to send an update and couldn't get through, gimme a couple hours to make room and git busy PM'ing again. As usual, we're gonna wait till the end of the day (US time) before sorting out materials and getting down to reviews. Though since most of the tracks are already in a substantial/complete form, we're proly gonna sit on them for the remainder of the week, to make sure we got every angle covered, in true Gunstar fashion. If you did not warn us prior to today that you'd not make the deadline, well ...you're a mean, mean person and we will never forgive you, EVER! Seriously though, please try to get your updates in asap so we can unleash this beast to the world.

Project (and personal) announcements: All the recent wips (and WAVs) have been received and are being reviewed, admittedly at different paces. I've got little to no free time and sporadic access to internet. Please be sure to send your updates for next deadline to DusK. Now, those of you paying attention to the tracklist might have noticed that 'Empire the Final Assault' is no longer in my care and is being remixed by DusK. Following a string of bad luck and health issues ultimately leaving me without a roof over my head, I've had to sell my music computer a while back to make ends meet, and haven't been able to compose anything for months as a result. With my survival in play, I've been forced into Chilean-miner mode, working impossible hours 6 days a week to try and get my home and life back. As of this time, that's still a work in progress. Meanwhile, I'm keeping a close eye (as close as I can afford to) on the project, providing as much constructive feedback as I can, when I can, and am making every effort to help bring this album to completion, despite not being able to contribute a mix myself (which, quite frankly, is killing me). Anyways... The final deadline is next Sunday on May 12th 2013, so please mark your calendars if you haven't already. I'll do my utmost to assist DusK in the daunting task of reviewing your completed (or next to done) remixes. Please take care everyone, and we'll see y'all on the finish line.

Most Enix games of yore (Actraiser, Soulblazer, Brain Lord, Star Ocean, Gaia Gensouki) could really use some more luv on OCR. Great request.

I'm back, but please keep sending your updates to DusK. I'll explain more about this soon... We discussed this a while back. No prob Mike, do your thing. So long as you make it in time for the deadline, it's cool. This goes for everyone.

Sounds good Ruku. I'm definitely hyped for that one. A few more finished tracks, things are coming together nicely. Three weeks before the final deadline.

^ This, 100%. Nintendo has one job: making LttP2 look, play and feel like LttP. Sanitized polygons and horrible controls be damned. :3 Fixed.

Hopefully you can relocate all the pieces before may 12th. A bunch of new wips received and a bunch of feedback sent. Keep 'em coming folks.

I used to run mostly survival-horror games (Biohazard, Silent Hill, Cold Fear, DeadSpace, etc.). Can't do that anymore though. Speed-running requires a lot of planning, a ton of free time and the willpower to sit through countless failures and experiments. ...oh, and also a system to run the games on. :/

This Metroid Prime/Tron crossover has little to do with the Rockman universe/aesthetics, and was proly canned for that reason. For those interested, there's already a Mega Man FPS out there that's true to its source material: 8-bit deathmatch.

We're only one month away from our proposed final deadline, so unless everyone suddenly clamors for it, we're going to proceed without. Once the album has been evaluated, we'll let each remixer know whether their track needs tweaking to meet the OCR staff's expectations. Giving everyone feedback is not a burden, it's our responsibility. And I always do my best on this front, even in dire times.

Happy birthday to OCR legend Malcos! Make sure to check his awesome new EP.

Tracks released so far are available for streaming on Eidos Montreal's Soundcloud. @mods: feel free to remove my post if this breaks any rules.

Final deadline is in a little over a month, and we've been seeing good progress on many of the remixes, with some nearing completion and a few WAVs. However ' Theme of Golden Silver' and 'Good Night, Baby!' are still open, for all you bold remixers out there, who aren't afraid of anything!

I'd love to remix something from Sōkyūgurentai when I come back, hopefully before 2014.

Remove every single on-rail, gun-turret bullshit section from games that forced them on players for the sake of gameplay variety.

Gametrailers just published an interview with Mr Kojima himself that should answer everyone's questions.

Both are part of the MGSV arc, but as I posted before, Konami contacted Joystiq after Kojima's tweet to confirm that GZ and TPP are separate games. Did so in my last post. Talked about the phantom-limb/phantom-pain condition, and how this could help tie in with Liquid-Ocelot's arm. Btw, did anybody notice that Ishmael was voiced by Kiefer Sutherland (or the best Kiefer Sutherland impersonator ever)? Rumors has it, he might be (or already have been) voicing Big Boss as well. If true, this would means that Big Boss is having a split-personality disorder. Judging by the fact Ishmael says: "I've been watching over you for 9 years" when Big Boss asks who he is, I've reasons to believe the validity of all this. Or at least that Ish and BB will be voiced by the same person, whoever he is.
