Capcom og Backbone Entertainment har i dag taget et skridt som undertegnede er rigtig glad for. Jeg glemmer aldrig deres Arcade-spil 1942, som blev spillet lystigt på min “brødkasse” (C64’er). Jeg har længe bedt til spilguderne om at få lov at opleve en af de bedste top-down shooters fra den tid endnu en gang og nu er mine bønner blevet hørt. I løbet af den kommende sommer vil Capcom endelig være klar med 1942: Joint Strike til både Xbox 360 & PlayStation 3. Spillet vil blive udgivet på Xbox Live Marketplace & PlayStation Store og byde på en revideret grafik og forhåbentlig et uspoleret gameplay. Vi har modtaget 18 screenshots og har oprettet et fint lille galleri til lejligheden.
SAN MATEO, Calif. — March 13, 2008 — Capcom® Entertainment, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games, today announced 1942: Joint Strike, a digital reimagining of the classic top-down arcade shooter. In development for digital download on Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PLAYSTATION®Network, 1942: Joint Strike is scheduled to hit summer 2008.
1942: Joint Strike takes inspiration and influence from the ‘80s 194X series of World War II-themed vertical arcade shooters. The art, sound and gameplay of the new game take cues from the original 194X games, but will stand out as its own unique entry. Gameplay will resemble the classic 2D style that gamers expect, but the game utilizes a fully 3D engine. Set in a World War II-themed locale, stages, vehicles and weapons have the look and feel of WWII with some stylistic differences.
The world in which 1942 takes place is not our own and the events that transpire are not historically accurate, nor are they intended to be. This is an alternate world where history and technology developed along their own paths. As a result, players will jump into the cockpits of WWII-era aircraft to take on huge waves of incoming enemy fire, dodging explosions and missiles while challenging huge bosses at the end of each stage. New co-op “Joint Strike attacks” combine the powers of two aircrafts into a devastating barrage.
The new 1942: Joint Strike features 2-player online cooperative play. Graphics and music have been similarly updated by Backbone Entertainment, the developers of this latest entry into the 194X series. There’s also a brand new score for the game created by Norihiko Hibino, an international composer well-known for his work creating music for the Metal Gear series.






























Åh yes.. 1942 var nice.. Wings Of Fury var også nice.. Men om det var til C64 kan jeg ikke huske :p
Vi mangler et remake af Turrican også Eller R-Type.
Nej nej nej… Sådan et spil bliver ALDRIG det samme, som det vi husker – ligesom det nye Street Fighter aldrig vil blive ligesom da vi stod og kastede endeløse rækker af 5’ere i spillemaskinen (eller hugede løs på vores Sega Mastersystem) :|
Hehe nice..
Det spil havde jeg oz til C64. ÅHH de tider
argh 1942 klassisk spil
håber stadig at vi en dag for north and south remake at se på xbl

#1 Wings of Fury var til amigaen
De har ændret musikken, så det bli’r aldrig som på brødkassen

1942? Nejnej, det mindre mere om 1941: Counter Attack.
Det gode gamle klassiske 1942 havde ingen spetakulære ting til deres P-38 Lightning, andet end multishot og loop.
Nah, giv mig Raiden i stedet
