Guys! Guys! Let's wait and see, shall we? Benefit of doubt and all that? Might turn out awesome?

These are PSP screens, right? The red Wii logo is a mistake, isn't it? well, ISN'T IT???

This wasn't that great a game 20 years ago, why do they feel the need to revive the franchise now?

Looks a lot like that Fallout:BOS game that I, errr, actually quite liked (I'm a sucker for anything Dark Alliance-y).
Crap graphics for a Wii game like, but if the PSP version looks the same I could see myself going for that version.

That's terrible. Worst than GC Dark Alliance.

Anyone remember that top-down shooter on the PC a few years back that was used to show off bump mapping on a (then) new video card? It got ported to the Dreamcast and PSOne (I think). This should look at least as good as that (Sega take note damnit!).

Expendable? (not sure about the bump-mapping part though as I just picked up the PS1 version when it was dirt cheap)

Shit game though. Horrible, horrible controls.

Yeah, that's the bugger :). It had bump and spec mapped water on Matrox PC cards I think.

Yeah, the controls were terrible on the PSOne version - probably because they designed the PC version to be used with a mouse and keyboard (mouse = turning, keys = move & strafe). Machine Hunter has the crown of best PSOne top down shooter but that's not saying much when you've only got Loaded as competition ;-).

Okay the Wii is technically more powerfull that GC, right? How come most games for it look like crap compared to the best stuff on the cube? Or the PS2 for that matter...

How are these the "latest screenshots"? First comment is from December last year, and so are the shots. :)

Are these new shots from a different game? Or has Alien Syndrome suddenly gone all 'mech'? The PS button icons on some of the shots suggest they're not even from a Nintendo Wii game.

Yup, 'new' screenshots are from the second Eureka 7 game.
Interestingly, http://www.tothegame.com made pretty much the same mistake.

Direct link for anyone who cares:

I guess the fuck up is by SEGA. Gamefront.de posted the same shots.

One of the screenshots clearly shows the PS2 button layout for choices to be made. EG sort it out.

Yellowtruck. AS actually looks worse than a PSOne game. One and Apocolypse both looked better than this in half the resolution :)

Also, is it wrong to think Sigourney was pretty hot in Alien 3? It's like Natalie Portman looking her hottest in V for Vendetta since Leon!

Ok, I'll get my coat!

Apocalypse has a terrible framerate though.
No seriously, it does. I re-bought it a few months ago and gave it a whirl. Feels like its running at 15fps at times.

One? Yea, that game did look damn good. Runs well too. Shame that some of the levels have extremely annoying jumping sections (one of them is nothing but, and therefore completely un-fun) otherwise I'd probably still re-play it to this day.
