I'm gonna be honest, i never expected these games to get any new announcements, since the company that made them i believe no longer exists.

I was never a fan of those games. I'm shocked this is happening.

While I wasn't a fan of those games either, I certainly felt its reasonable cultural presence and I'm happy the franchise is not only getting revived but a sequel as well.

Let's hope the remasters are pleasing to look at.

For me it was all about the music, which is unique but incredibly enjoyable, whether the genesis or sega cd version.

I'm wondering personally. I know that there was work on that Dolphin game for the supposed Intellivision Amico...I wonder if that was repurposed and/or morphed into a new ecco? >:3 I am so excited either way haha

But what about Defender of the Future?

These games gave me my first nightmares as a kid back in the day. I'm also not a huge fan but find interesting that the whole point of the franchise is something that maybe indie developers would cook nowadays, but in early 90's.

The difficulty of the Genesis game frustrated me as a kid, but the overall vibe of the game, with its eerie music and setting left a lasting impression on me, there really wasn't anything like it. And then years later, as a happy Dreamcast owner, reading previews of a new Ecco game, in 3D no less, re-ignited those feelings the original gave me. I was floored once I got a copy to play, the game was (and still is) gorgeous with music matching the visuals. Sadly I couldn't beat it (I got stuck at the large alien head near the end), but what a journey!

I will happily Day 1 a remaster of the Genesis games. But I'm really curious how they will update the visuals and sound as those two aspects will be critical to its success. The concept/universe of Ecco is so unique that its a shame Sega won't take a risk moving the franchise forward. Hopefully this is their way of checking who's still interested. I know I am!
