Yay! Now if they can get Chris Huelsbeck to do the music again it would be so great!

And of course they'd have to get Manfred Trenz back on the team. Turrican was his brainchild after all.

So they're going to make a 3rd person shooter with a man in robot space-armour?

What did Rogue Squadron do for space combat?

No, no, no, no, NO!!

Stop these 3D remakes! If you do Turrican in 3D, it'll just become a generic 3D shooter, with the Turrican badge strapped on.

Leave it be. Go and think up some new IP's...stop raping the past.

Best bet for Turrican: whack the original two games on the DS, using the second screen for a handy build-as-you-go map. Leave it in 2D.

Turrican was really the height of programming on the Commodore 64. It was so incredibly impressive, what they managed to squeeze out of the old processor. Best game ever!

Except for Wasteland. And Pool of Radiance. And Ultima IV & V. :D

Pah - everyone said Metroid in 3D was a bad idea until they actually did it.

Doing it in 3D doesn't automatically make it bad. Doing it badly in 3D automatically makes it bad.

Blasphemer, bbuUURRRRRNNNNN HIMMM!!

Don't you realise that's what the "next gen" is?

Remember all the BS PR talk before the consoles were released? The amazing new worlds and experiences we would interact with?

Take Turrican, add shine = Turrican "next gen"

Devs need to bring back their old ideas from PS1 backwards and modernise them into what they should have been back then, not a remake per se more of a modernisation ala Warhawk.

may offer a toggle between Sixaxis tilt and analogue controls

Or, in other words, 'we can't really get the tilt stuff to work and it's not totally tied into the game design, so we may just back out totally and go the standard route'.

Exactly! Turrican was a great game. Who could forget the theme music? Anyway, a Turrican gone 3D in a similar way that Metroid went would be really sweet.

Talk about a way to put pressure on yourself!

Like Blerk says, a great game is a great game is a great game, but if they made a 3D Turrican and it was anything less than outstanding there'd be trouble.

Would there be trouble? No-one seemed to mind when they made three desperately average 2D ones.

Tyronne, it was, but under the name of Thornado. Factor 5 had a small teaser page on their website with artwork and a music clip for many years, and I recall the game being shown to certain members of the press when it was in development for the GC.

I suppose this is still that same idea and concept, only now they're discussing it as Turrican 3D. IGN game page

@sanctusmortis: They already made 3 Contra games on the PSOne/PS2.. not a patch on the original 2D series IMHO.

AFAIK Huelsbeck is resident music / sound person at Factor 5, i know he definitely did the music arranging etc for Rogue Leader.

Suddenly i feel like another Super Turrican playthrough...

I loved the first two Turrican games on the Amiga. I'm not so sure about the idea of a 3D update, but 2.5D could be great ;)

Hello everyone. I hope to be back soon on Playstation 3. I shall endeavour to nick another song from the Transformers for my soundtrack, hopefully the new Transformers film will provide plenty of scope for that.

:: if they can get Chris Huelsbeck to do the music again

Nuts to Chris Huelsbeck. I always preferred the lovely C64 score by Markus Siebold and Stefan Hartwig.

Actually, the 'space' missions in the Rogue Squadron games were absolutely horrible, control-wise. The whole system is built around the idea of having definite 'up' and 'down'. They play exactly the same as atmosphere stuff, even though that makes no sense since you shouldn't be affected by gravity if you're in space.

Yay! Now that brings back a few good memories from the distant past. Good work memories at that. And enjoyable work memories are oh so rare... *Sob*

"Eggebrecht says the dragon-riding action game coming along nicely, ... and will do for dragon games what Rogue Squadron did for space combat."

The dragon-riding will be fun but they'll force you to go through horrible on-foot levels where your character looks like it has a stick or two up its ass when it walks?

turrican should never be transformed to 3d.when programmers understand that you can not exceed what is perfect.
turrican should remain 2d or 2.5 d like castlevania or bionic commando.same view diferent levels .
we want fun not graphics. one example is megaman stayed 2d and sells great .
