The Art of Yars' Revenge

Is this a joke? I like the orginal, but a reboot? What?

Huh.

Well... it's just as weird and nonsensical as the first game, I guess.

damn

Why not? Maybe?

Never heard of the original,  but I don't really care for this version either.

I really liked that the good guys in the original Yars revenge were the ugly bugs and the humanoids were bad. Also, "Yars" was the name of the alien race and in this it appears that its the name of the protagonist, who is humanoid by the way. Also, where's the Zorlon Cannon?
I don't like this new direction at all.

Wait. You mean Yuri's Revenge? No? Ok...

W-wait... weren't we joking about this in an old bombcast and/or Game Room episode...?

Never.

...wut?...Awesome >_>

You must be shitting me : [

" For fuck's sake, are you cunts really this frightened of coming up with new content? You're really digging in the bottom of the barrel for modern Yar's games and movies based on Asteroids and Battleship? Jesus fucking christ. "

Get your Anime out of my Yars >:(

What I get from this is that Killspace Entertainment  wanted to make Strike Witches, but had to attatch the "Yar's" name to uncreepify it.

No idea what yar's revenge was but that looked decent... i love my star fox shoot em ups

I... just... what? Why?  There is no need for something like this.

" Never heard of the original,  but I don't really care for this version either. "

Wii exclusive?

I cant wait for the Keystone Kapers reboot!

Boooo, get that anime out of there!

Stunning visuals? Can somebody please explain to them what those two words mean?

There sure is a lot of hate in the comments for this!
 
Colour me interested though!  I think it looks stylish and fun.  I'm getting the impression people are only showing disinterest because it's 'nothing like the original', instead of treating the game on its own merits.

Really?  Because the original game was one of the greats of the Atari 2600. "

Its the remake we have all been waiting for!

Finally!

space faring accident! they are the worst

What?! Why on Earth would you do that?

Funny that this is about the "ART" of Yars Revenge as all the "ART" looks like fairly generic anime.
The gameplay however, looks like it may have something interesting going on.
 
In the end, whatever, I don't care about your concept art, or the name you've dug up to strike nostalgic chords - just make a good game and I will consider entertaining myself with it.

didnt know this was coming out...

So...they decided to modernize Yars' Revenge by making it Space Harrier?

KILLSPACE ENTERTAINMENT DELIVERING THE REBOOT THE MASSES HAVE BEEN CLAMORING FOR.

Looks awesome! 
Sitting here in the neutral zone, Yar's Revenge!

Wow, what the hell? Why haven't I heard about this until now? That's crazy. 

Gabe? Is that you?

getting a Panzer Dragoon vibe from the gameplay, probably because it looks like an on rails shooter. Looks cool at the moment, here's hoping for anime cutscenes for use of story telling. 

This guy sounds like he was either A) forced into speaking, and/or B) hates his life and would rather be developing a game that was actually good/cool. I'm thinking both. The gameplay looks retarded. I was hoping for a more Pac Man Champ. style...

What the fack...
 
How did I not know about this?!

Well this is a surprise. I feel indifferent about the art, but the actual game looks interesting in that Panzer Dragoon/Rez sort of way.
 
I played the hell out of the original when I was a kid.

There are a lot of games I never thought would get a sequel... Yars' Revenge was extremely high on that list.

Any game with the line 'inspired by the film Avatar' instantly turns me off. At least the game looks like a rail shooter  similar to Space Harrier & others which is probably the only way they could go with this. Personally I think they should have looked at Pacman Championship DX & just done a treatment like that to the original Yars Revenge.

The entire time I watched this my eye's were legitimately like O_o 
 
The fuck? I remember playing that when I was 4. 
 
Well here's hoping for a possible River Raid and Zaxxon Remake.....The fuuuck?

That doesn't really look like Yars Revenge at all, but that might be a good thing.

"Yar's Re-venge is new from Atari...have you played Atari today!?"

Yar's Revenge is one of my fondest memories of my Atari 2600.
 
This...I'm not sure about this.  Gameplay looks decent, but...yeah, I'm certainly not a fan of anime.

Seems better and more fun than the original.  
 
Looking forward to it!
