New Golden Axe game gets date News
Xbox 360 PlayStation 3 News by Robert Purchese
SEGA plans to unleash PS3 and 360 action role-playing game Golden Axe: Beast Rider on 17th October.
Despite having initially been scheduled for September, we still know relatively little about this 2008 interpretation of a series that began in the arcades, back in 1989.
So far what we know comes from trailers; the lady warrior with barely any clothes appears to be the main character, and uses various types of beasts as mounts to get around and crush people with.
Golden Axe: Beast Rider will also carry an 18 rating for its assortment of blood and gore and dismemberments.
Head over to our Golden Axe: Beast Rider gamepage for the videos and screenshots released so far.

As much as I may regret it I think I'll be picking this up. The original is one of my fav games of all time. Spent many a happy hour slotting 10p's into that cabinet.

Dismemberments + giant beasts + boobs = I'm in. I just love those B-games, they're always fun and packed with interesting glitches and terrible voice acting.

I'd say the chances of this being good are...
... very, very slim! I'd love to be wrong but given how close the release date is and how little we've heard about the game in the form of previews, etc., my gut instinct tells me I'll likely be right. Perhaps it'll be a surprise gem of a game but I certainly won't be holding my proverbial breath for it... ;) |

Well, as long as it is as good as Conan and better than Viking, I am in. Like somebody else said, these sort of B-tier games can be relied on for shitty voice-acting and mildly enthralling gameplay.

Does anyone remember Golden Axe Warrior? It's was a Zelda like spin-off on the Master System. I put hours into that and Alex the Kidd back in those days.

Wouldn't it be ironic if this was actually better than Heavenly Sword? *grins*

The achievements are out and consist of the following.
Beat Game - Lots of Points Clear All Levels with Sword Only - Lots of Points Clear All Levels with A+ Rank - Lots of Points Clear All Trials (60 enemy waves) - Lots of Points Kick Gnomes - Lots of Points The demo from E3 looked alright actually! Quite fast. Lots of running around and chopping/riding. You might ask "who would pay £40 quid for this in 2008"... but I have a Master System copy of Golden Axe which still has the £49.99 price tag on it! And the game could be beat in 20 minutes!

That cost £50 twenty years ago?! That's probably why I was only allowed a CPC 464. I remember loving the original Golden Axe too, I'd kinda like to see a new version of it that's a really complex, side scrolling, fighter. |

I was looking forward to this when I heard about it a year or so ago, but I have doubts now. It's hardly had any serious coverage anywhere. I predict another classic game poorly re-imagined.

So has everyone made up after the Sega America CEO himself slagged off Secret Level's produce?

It seems that people are pretty pessimistic about this - I cant say I blame them but wouldn't it be great if this delivered?? I doubt it will but its possible. No one thought that Metroid could go 3D but that was a success. Then again mmmmmmm yeah this 'll probably just be a disappointment but God I loved it in the arcade.

Sorry but if I cant choose between Barabarian. Amazon and Dwarf at the start of the game then you can fuck off.
Who needs another God of War a-like game, branded with a name they are leasing from Sega? with a generic 'Kevlar-lingerie' clad bimbo to appeased the undersexed 'Scary Internet Men'. Original Golden Axe was awesome, but please someone tell me how this game will feel like Goldenaxe? because I hit enemies with weapons and do magic? get to ride around on weird chicken monsters? /shrug |
