Super Stardust HD Comments by Richard Leadbetter

I rate it 7/10, control issues...

Nice!

I'm buying this one :)

9/10?

Crikey...i had my doubts.. but now i'll get this!

Some good news about a game on the PS3!Looks like a good purchase,
but alas I have a 360 so no buy.No tears from me though.
I'm off to play some other excellent title that involves tearing past my mates shouting 'Hey backmarker,eat my dust' in my pimped out ride...
what ever that mean!!!

wtf? Was good in its day but 9/10!!!! Come on... just asking for more of this rehashing tsk.

Back in the day I liked it for graphics, but gameplay? Was so-so... all these years later for PS3, a new machine? Gah. Words fail me :)

Geoff Crammonds GP1 with nicer graphics... then you'd be talking ;)

"Bring back the "Pay exact amount" option Sony!"

They don't have that?! That's almost as bad as having a points scheme, damn thieves!

Pong HD is already released. It's called Virtua Tennis 3.

Yeah yeah yeah GREAT but when the hell is it OUT?

Sure wasn't on the store 10 mins ago.

Loved the original...so much so that I wrote a magazine review for it at the time. One to pick up when I get a PS3 (3-4 years from now).

@Les
Wel I don't really have a problem with no option. I find it frustrating that they had it, then removed it. So its not a question of technologically feasable even.

@ zuljin

I really hate companies that revert to these kind of questionable business practices to squirt out some extra money. They should be heavily punished.

Honestly, if this were on the 360, it would have scored much lower. Funny how these refurbished released manage to shine so much more brightly on Sony's console...

Excellent! Bring on more Amiga remakes!
How about some Alien Breed HD, Superfrog HD, Slamtilt HD, Cannon Fodder HD...
And whatever happened to James Pond and Zool?

jynxce: Of course it would, since you would be forced to play at 30fps instead of 60.

:P

Daikon: Super Cars II HD! IK+ HD!!!!

It's out on June 28.

"Honestly, if this were on the 360, it would have scored much lower."

Very true. Remember the terrible press and reviews Geometry Wars received. Which was incidentally the only reason to own a 360 in its first year. It's scary how much similarities the 360 and PS3's initial runs show...

Terrible press and reviews for Geometry Wars?... you are kidding, right ?

It recieved high praise and EG gave it a 9.

Sorry, should have made the irony more obvious. ;)

ah... makes more sense, sorry ;)

Excellent! Bring on more Amiga remakes!

North and South HD :) With teamplay... :)

If it's anything like Startdust on the amiga, this game is gonna rock bigtime :D

"Which was incidentally the only reason to own a 360 in its first year."

/Glances at shelf

Oblivion, PGR3, FNR3, GRAW, TT, GOW, VP.

/Hmmmm.

Both the Orginal game "STARDUST" which came for the Amiga 500 and the upgraded version for the Amiga 1200 "SUPER STARDUST" where brilliant games but the Amiga CD32 version "Super Stardust" didnt have the best music imo.

The version on PC is utter rubbish.

The ps3 version looks great but it seems there is no tunnel sections :( , anyway this is a must buy for me and by the looks of things, this will be the game i buy the PS3 for :)

James Pond remake was released last year on DS and PS2 , it was schedueled for PSP aswell but it seems its been canned :(

As to Superfrog HD and Slamtilt HD , yes indeed Superfrog would be nice but there allready is a Slamtilt remake called Slamtilt Resurrection , it came in 2000/01 or so, it was in 3d but same tables as in the Amiga Orginal, it was reallllllllly bad and hardly a good thing to start playing if youre a big fan of the Amiga Orginal from 1996.

Finally, Cannon Fodder remake is comming for PSP this authumn so stay tuned for that.

PS: Sensible soccer 2006 was really bad, lets hope no one else follows that trail by remaking old Amiga classics for NG consoles.

Deceeeeeeeeeeeeeeent! Amiga retro goodness. PSP version please.

@Xiphos

Sorry, what? Was any of that meant to make any actual sense, or is it simply a collection of words?

without any doubt the latter...

Now that is some rant.

Methinks he'll be horribly disappointed with the PC too, unless there's an animatronic-based totally HD-cutscene played game anytime soon.

I hate to tell him, but Jurassic Park's effects were largely done with animatronics. When they were CGI each frame probably took hours for many computers to render, and then were tweaked by hand both digitally and then applied to the film itself that was then included into the frames of real sets and actors, and then re-mastered again. It would be incredibly difficult, if not impossible, to recreate this process using an in-game graphics real-time rendering engine.

Perhaps a more apt analogy would be Toy Story, and personally I don't think we are that far off graphically this generation. Obviously game world interaction is a whole other issue, and one that influences believability a hell of a lot more than when you actually see on screen.

Bah, it's obviously a Sony-hating poem! All click your fingers in appreciation for the passion!

*click* *click* *click*

i remember this on the amiga. fine game. FINE game.

Lol didn't anyone tell him, negative fanboyism is so last year *rolls eyes*

With regards to the game, can't wait to get it.

Where it comes to conning people to give them their money and lying, Sony are so clumsy about it...

They're amateurs in comparison to Microsoft.

That is all.

That's more like the Xiphos I know...

Anyway, I'm not trying to sound presumptuous or anything, but my brain just isn't capable of thinking on such a low level. I'm not even sure if brain activity on that level could actually still be described as thinking.

Nice new info, screens and user made videos:

And there I was, thinking that who whould ever need the "ignore user" option on the EG forums/comments...

For me, this is the first reason to be interested in the PS3. There's a lot of upcoming stuff that's looking real sweet too (Little Big Planet), but this is the first time they've delivered. Nice one, keep it up and I may need to invest in your hardware in a year or so.

I don't know what people have against the music. I actually got goose bumps just listening to the music. It all feels so RIGHT. This is how shooter music has to sound.

God, I never thought my first post would be in defence of a PS3 game...
But having spent a few hours with this at a conference recently I'm happy to say that it is frankly fantastic.
It's the first PS3 game that I want to own. (Not badly enough to shell out £400 admittedly but it's a start.)
Forget about the dream of some new paradigm in gaming when you play it, just enjoy the game for what it is, one of the best shooters out there at the moment.

113th (out of 24000 players)place atm in arcade mode, what a brilliant game, i simply can't egt sick of it..not sure how many hours i have been playing it now but its more or less been running since last saturday, and thats a shitload when its such a "small" game.

Many months later, and SSHD still rules! I have never seen a game that is so close to perfection as this one.

Its the new modes that do it... Endless and Survival are a touch intense.
