NeoForte Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Nicalis has announced (with help from NIS) a full 3D remake with 2D gameplay for Cave Story. Here's the full story: http://www.gamesradar.com/f/cave-story-remake-announced-for-3ds/a-2011021016228990012 Video Interview with Pixel as well as a 3D model preview of Quote and Balrog here: Quote
Bleck Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I hope this time they release it without a multitude of bugs and glitches that they only fix like eight months later edit: the most important part of this article is the last question asked Quote
BardicKnowledge Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 edit: the most important part of this article is the last question asked Cave Story is such a tightly-made game though -- I dunno if the game lends itself well to a sequel. More power to him, but it's a hard game to make a good sequel for, given how high the expectations will be. Quote
Unstable Hamster Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Well with this and Megaman Legends 3, if they keep this trend up, I might as well just send Nintendo gobs of money in the mail and cut out the middle man. And if they announced a special edition 3DS with a Cave Story design on it I would invent time travel so I didn't have to wait. Edit: Please put in the original cave story along with it. Quote

More power to him, but it's a hard game to make a good sequel for, given how high the expectations will be. He could make it a prequel that shows the war with the Robots and the Mamiga and how Qoute and Curly failed to assassinate the old ruler. Quote
Gollgagh Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 dang, I am actually really liking the concept art for those areas Quote
Overflow Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah, i tried the wiiware demo for the game but couldn't really get into it. Mostly it was the bland art style that turned me off. I really do like the new concept art, however, and would definitely get it if it looks like that. Quote
DrumUltimA Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 fuck. now i have to buy a 3DS. Screw you guys. Quote
ZealPath Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It's really nice to see Pixel (DA) succeeding after pouring 5, apparently lonely years of his life into the awesomeness that is Cave Story. I like the look of the 3D stuff as well, will definitely have to check that out, hopefully it gets cross platformed to something other than a handheld. Quote
Crowbar Man Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 2.5d remakee of a 2d remake of a game that never needed a remake because it is retro on purpose. I absolutely love cave story I played and loved it before it was a fad to like it, but I think this is a bit much. Im glad he's getting to live his dream but uh another game using this 2.5d engine or a sequel would be perfered. And I hope they aren't going to add voices and yelps when they jump Quote

Power shot! TORNAADO HOOOOOLD Quote
Mirby Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It's not a sequel, it's a remake. And I think it looks good. Quote
Gollgagh Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 It's not a sequel, it's a remake. nobody said that if you read the link, Daisuke expressed interest in making a sequel Quote
Mirby Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Well my mistake. My headphones kinda broke, so I wasn't able to listen to the video. Quote
Gollgagh Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 it was the very last thing on the last page, to be fair Quote
Avatar of Justice Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Um....doesn't this defeat the point of Cave Story being retro? LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME. Quote
The Damned Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 Yeah, because 8-bit style games never got remakes with better graphics... Like Super Mario Bros, for instance. Quote
Kenogu Labz Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 The original would have stood on its own, retro or not. Retro simply lent it nostalgia and a certain charm. A true remake, not a 'port' like Cave Story Wii, could show beauty in a whole new way. That art for Mimiga Village is gorgeous, and I can't wait to see how this progresses. Quote
Invader_Quirk Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I have to be honest. I really don't like the character models. Curly Brace isn't cute at all anymore. Their heads are the same size they always were, but in 3D it just doesn't work for me. :/ Quote

Wait, Retro is making the remake? :D :D I wish Quote
DrumUltimA Posted February 11, 2011 Posted February 11, 2011 I don't consider the original cave story retro, despite the music and graphics. It was just what he had available to program. It would have been retro if it's "antiquity" was part of the concept of design (think bit trip on wii). But from what I understand, I don't think it was. Quote

It would have been retro if it's "antiquity" was part of the concept of design (think bit trip on wii). But from what I understand, I don't think it was. Sort of. Even though those were the resources he had, it doesn't change the fact that low-res graphics and music leads to nostalgia often associated with retro games, and has a distinct feel to it that games with layers of spit-shined graphics and audio often don't have. While it may not have intended to be retro, it ends up falling into that category. Quote
