I’m talking about making new graphics for Turrican 2 that actually keep the spirit it of the the original artwork while increasing palette etc. Factor 5 didn’t like the MSDOS port’s graphics, they don’t look like Turrican 2, they don’t look like any of the snes or megadrive sequels, they literally look like a fan game. That’s part of what gives them charm, and I love the ms-dos version on its own merits but it’s nothing close to a canonical take on the material, hence never coming out in the rerelease compilations etc. it’s like a weird cover version of a song which has its own fans, some of whom insist it’s the definitive version when it’s stylistically so different it’s really just its own thing.
I’m curious about a hypothetical retrofit of this new engine to make an “enhanced” Amiga Turrican 2, is all.  |
Ahh ok, I'm understanding you now, would love to see that but I think the msdos version is a well done improvement in general.
