Shadow Of The Beast 3D?
« on: August 21, 2003, 10:10:59 AM »
Wouldn't it be great if a 3D version of SOTB was released for the AmigaOne/MorphOs, even the PC?
I think that if it used the original concept with a 3d engine it would make a kick ass game!
 What do you think?

I think that the original games had stunning graphics for their time, but shockingly bad playability, much like many 3D games since, so it should fit right in.

Certainly - SOTB II (the only one I've played) is hard enough with the cheat :-D

xeron: lol ...nice one!! :)

anyway sotb3 was awesome, both playable and nice to look at...and that wonder full music..

anyway i agree with xeron, it would fit right into the 3d catagory of the times now, boring...

also a 3d version has been worked on for ages now, check with google and search for shadow of the beast 3d.... easy as that :)

anyway it looks like crap... so i guess it will play even worser..

but then again it might be cool and rock the world....hard to say stuff about upcomming 3d games.... u can just do a retro trip back to 92-94 ..everyone was sick of plattform games....
but once in a while a good one came..

cheers
Whats up with all the hate!

I think that a new Shadow of the Beast game for Aone/OS4 and/or Peg/MOS, if well-designed, enough promoted could help selling AOne/MOS and/or AOne/OS4... Not millions for sure. But it could help...

Beast rulez ;) even 14 years later !

I just saw a preview of Prince of Persia 3D and it looks awesome! It seems all the classics are coming back in 3D-form. It would be great to see Zak McKracken 2 now when LucasArts is also making sequels of their classic games! :-)

SOTB 3D (in the making) looks real nice!

Why must new games be 3D?  What's wrong with trying to make a high resolution 2D game?  Imagine doing a new 2D "Shadow Of The Beast" in 640x480, but with "Metal Slug" stylings...

Not bad...

...but for me, it doesn't have the same "wow" factor that SOTB had 10 years ago, or the right atmosphere.

I htink I'll stick with the 2D series, I love em. And 3D is almost never made to play the same :( (although SOTB is, like, the game I want to play when I want something that looks cool and I don't mind dying every 2 minutes...) mostly though, 3D often lacks the same feel ot it.... :( If it could be done right then heck, yeah, great.
