We need a remake of the Build Engine. Every game made with it was fun as hell. Yet every sequel to them was shit.

@tomba_be: This kind of delusional reasoning is mindblowing to me. Other people's fun? The only people who have fun with racist caricatures or stereotypes are middleschoolers, there's no place for it in the adult world unless you need some growing up to do. The original game was garbage, both ethically and technically. Also, your fun sure is great when it upsets people and brings up memories of generations of institutional racism and the projected image that society places upon people of color. Just because you think talking about watermelon and KFC is funny, doesn't mean some black person should just get over it even though the sad reality to that black person is that most people think they're genuinely like that.

That being said, Hard Reset was an amazing game and the developers straight up said they're removing the misogynistic and racist humor, so they can only improve on the original game. It's not like the bar was set very high.

So weird to see the 3D Realms logo on anything anymore.

I really liked the old Shadow Warrior game, but mostly just because it was another game on the Build engine (Which I absolutely loved).

Well, yeah. For one Flying Wild Hog aren't fucking hacks like 3DR and Gearbox.

The use of a Japanese song for this trailer does not fill me with hope that it will provide a less stereotypical "generic Asian" aesthetic than the original game. It looks kind of pretty, though.

Yeah! They should have used Metcallica so it would appear less Asian. Then white people wouldn't have to get uptight about it!

I'm actually Japanese, but whatever. I'm not offended or anything - I just hope they take this opportunity to create an interesting world rather than a lazy "I've been to Chinatown" thing.

Well I didn't think I would see a 3D Realms logo again. So I guess that's something.
