Were there ever plans for theese sequels?

plasmatron · 30 July 2003, 14:10

LOTUS 4 ( i don`t think)

Rick Dangerous 3 ( I think Codemasters cancelled this project in mid 1992.)

LAST NINJA 4 (finished--- but never released because of the SYSTEM 3 bancrupt.)

CYBERNOID 3
THIRD SAMURAI (mhhhhh?????)

TURRICAN 4 ( KAIKO started developing T4 in late 1993.)

BEAST 4 (who knows?)

CHASE HQ 3
XENON 3
PROJECT-X (PROJECT-Z ??? )
SUPERFROG 2
SUPER CARS 3
SWITCHBLADE 3
TOKI 2

and so on- and so on- and so on...

I don't believe that System 3 went bankrupt (unless anyone knows differently).

They still exist as Studio 3, anway! www.studio3.co.uk

plasmatron · 30 July 2003, 14:28

In late 1992 SYSTEM 3 went bancrupt.
But it was rebuild in 1996 or 1998 by John Twiddy i think.

I'm afraid there was no LN4 and System3 never went bankrupt.

THIRD SAMURAI (mhhhhh?????)

Not as far as I'm aware. Never any plans for Psygnosis to release it anyway.

BEAST 4 (who knows?)

I do. There were no plans.

Last Ninja 4 is finished and available (or nearly about to be available) on PC and some nextgen console. Unless it got cancelled, but progress was steady. System3 never went bankrupt.

You do realize that's a very wrong fact? in 1993 they must've been working with T3. I think I heard about T4 being in the works, but it must've been some years later. I read it in that brilliant Factor5 fansite.

PROJECT-X (PROJECT-Z ??? )

The sequel to Project-X is called X2, it was planned for an A1200/CD32 release, but it got canned early in favour of a PSX port. This game got released and it's one of the finest PSX titles.

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 18:19

Right, I gotta get myself a PSX emulator and a copy of X2.

That is a necessity.

I've always known about it but heard it was shite.

kriz · 30 July 2003, 18:23

ohhh X2 , have to check that out !!

any pictures, reviews or something ?

Amiga1992 · 30 July 2003, 19:08

I like the game. some people loathe it, some people love it. It's a love/hate thing, just like with Project X.

Technically astounding, no questions about that. I don't know if it runs in emulators but it';s worth a try. I'm trying to get myself a copy of this game for my PSX (copy as in original copy, you pirate bastards

)

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 19:16

the epsxe emulator should play it fine.

Antiriad · 30 July 2003, 20:22

Project X - great music, but lousy gameplay and the graphics arent all that hot - backgrounds are luvly but the sprites are shite.

Then again, i have a low regard for all Team 17 games from a visual perspective - they looked amateurish compared to Psygnosis and Bitmap Brothers games

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 20:26

I've never understood why people said this?

I thought that Agony looked shite in comparison with Project-X, Stardust et all.

I've always liked the look of the Team 17 games.

Amiga1992 · 30 July 2003, 21:05

I think Agony looks great, and so do most Team 17 games. But Project X's sprites do look a bit cacky. The main ship is the problem, the other enemies look fine. Alien Breed has brilliant gfx IMO.

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 21:12

I just didn't like the look of agony. It looked like it only used 4 colours. I thought the owl looked absolutely brilliant however. Superbly animated. Just those backgrounds.

I thought that Beast rocked, never liked the look of number 2, but number 3 looked good too.

Speedball 2 (CD32 esp.) looked awesome, so did Gods, Magic Pockets, Xenon 2, in fact the only ones I thought didn't look as good where the Chaos Engine's.

Amiga1992 · 30 July 2003, 21:18

You are not far from the truth I think. The sprites that were not the owl probably use 3 or 4 colors, not more! Yes, it gives it a very monochrome look, but I loved the music, the owl and the backgrounds. The monochrome shades made it even more spooky!

about X2, here's a review:
http://www.vidgames.com/ps/software/x2.html

The game features horizontal and vertical scrolling sections (á la Salamander) and 2 Player Simultaneous action!

kriz · 30 July 2003, 21:19

hmm talking about older PSX games, where is the best place to get those hard to get titles ??

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 21:46

Direct Connect is THE best way to get any cd console games (apart from CD32)

I totally agree with this point (for most of their games anyway)! I dont think Ive ever seen such ugly graphics as in the Body Blows series. ABSOLUTELY NO STYLE WHATSOEVER.

killergorilla · 30 July 2003, 23:23

Yeah ok, the body blows games were a bit naff. Some of the backdrops on the AGA versions did look pretty good though.

Antiriad · 30 July 2003, 23:30

Agony is a beautiful game. An AGA port of it would have been fabulous as granted on occasions the pallette looks limited. But such a detailed look, wonderful parralax scrolling... amazing music one of the most lush games on the Amiga
