Honest question
Do we really want a Turrican without any Manfred Trentz involvement?
Because after Turrican 2 the games went south prety badly
This surprises me knowing the bad blood between those two 30 years ago (Manfred really didn't like the console games... with good reasons)Last year Julian said that Trenz would also be on board.

The german Factor 5 bought all trademarks from the bankcrupt THQ, including Turrican and they would like to make a new Turrican. Even Manfred Trenz would be on board and Chris Huelsbeck asks him when they´ll start every two weeks. But it wouln´t be as simple as making a kickstarter and collecting the money, the´ll just have find the time.
Wow, not trying to be snarky but I had no idea that Factor 5 was alive. That's great news!
Well yea ...because that's the news here. They re-registered Factor 5 as a company just a week ago. There was really no way you could have known lol.
That is not correct. They renamed an existing company, and that happened last month. In reality, nothing has changed though. They've held the Turrican license for almost a decade and haven't done anything with it.
This.Brilliant news. Turrican II on the Amiga is one of the greatest games ever made in my opinion and it does have the greatest soundtrack ever.
Turrican IV in 2D with Chris Huelsbeck on soundtrack duties. Take my money.
They really, really, REALLY didn't. Mega, both Supers (NES/SNES) and Super 2 were all awesome (and for different reasons). Not as mindblowing, but fantastic none the less.Honest question

New trilogy Rogue Squadron when? I need to fly that split-wing X-Wing around.
This is far bigger news then switch having the performance everyone already knows it has

He said in the podcast that the registration went through just a couple of days ago.
Awesome news! I'd love to see a new Turrican.
Make it look like this please:
The Turrican Collection, all 3 Amiga games remastered in that swanky 2.5D style...
I'd sell a kidney to buy that if I ran out of money.
There's a reason why people remember Turrican and Turrican 2 fondly and none of the following 3 games.They really, really, REALLY didn't. Mega, both Supers (NES/SNES) and Super 2 were all awesome (and for different reasons). Not as mindblowing, but fantastic none the less.
What I really want is a T2 remaster. Collision invulnerability and other such QOL enhancements have always been sorely needed to perfect this gem.

That game is available on Wii VC (and thus the Wii U VC through backward emulation).Fuck rereleasing the older Turricans if the best one (MEGA TURRICAN) isn't included.
I'm not talking about expensive individual releases like VC, was more referring to the collection of old games that you typically see from developers that are more cost-conscious to the consumer like Capcom (as bad as they are, they're no Nintendo who easily takes the top spot for developer most willing to empty the pockets of their fans when releasing older content).That game is available on Wii VC (and thus the Wii U VC through backward emulation).
Unless it has been delisted of course.
And you need to play the previous 2 if you believe that's the best game in the franchise (preferably on Amiga and not the garbage Genesis/MD versions).
That's more like Manfred Trenz's DNA. People missing it may want to take a look at Rendering Ranger for SFC.They had the Turrican name but none of the DNA.
Eh, to each his own I guess. *shrugs*They really, really, REALLY didn't. Mega, both Supers (NES/SNES) and Super 2 were all awesome (and for different reasons). Not as mindblowing, but fantastic none the less.
They should release Mega Turrican with Amiga music & sound effects.Why would you ever choose Turrican 3 over Mega Turrican?
There's a reason why people remember Turrican and Turrican 2 fondly and none of the following 3 games.
Turrican 3 (mega) was average at best, Super Turrican had incredibly tiny levels with little to no exploration elements (a huge driving factor of the success of previous Turrican games) and Super 2 was just only slightly better in that regard.
They had the Turrican name but none of the DNA.

I think Turrican 1 is great, the level design is quite unique since you go so far both vertically and horizontally, love how the background go darker when you're fa far down and brighter higher up, honestly can't really pinpont what should be bad about it, mabe the later "alien" levels since you got lost far too easy but all in all it's up there right beside Turrican 2 imo.
What is that??
What is that??
I disagree for two obvious reasons :The reason people don't remember the sequels fondly is mostly down to the fact that the Amiga/C64 crowd that the game had a cult following with did not, for the most part, transition onto consoles and as such their core audience wasn't there which got reflected in the sales. The games aren't Contra 3/HC or Gunstar Heroes level of quality, but they're the very best second tier run'n'gun gems from the 16bit gen and that is saying QUITE a lot.
Any negative will towards such harmlessly decent products is pure confirmation bias at work, either because too much was changed like here or because not enough was like with Golden Axe 1 constantly getting the crown over 3 (not including RoDA, obviously) merely because it came out first when these days it's as clear as day that GA3 is a markedly superior product.
Never would I have expected to see that F5 is still around and has cleaned up Turrican licensing issues. Amazing stuff.
I can't be the only one who remembers Turrican 64/Thornado, right? I remember they released a demo track running on N64's audio that sounded a generation ahead any other music produced for the system. What a technically talented studio.
Hoping to see the fruits of new development from them soon. I wonder if they'll develop for PS4/XB1.
Poor guys have been trying to make a new Turrican since the N64 days (called Thornado). Hopefully they'll be able to make one now, and hopefully it's 2D goodness.
I can't count how many times I checked F5's website to listen to a demo music Chris Huëlsbeck did for Thornado
The dots go over the u
(also, if you use the ü umlaut the e gets dropped. So either Hülsbeck or Huelsbeck is correct)
