Game Informer: As times and tastes change, some franchises fall out of favor – or become too niche to be economically feasible. Thankfully, digital distribution has given new life to games and genres that just wouldn't make sense at a $60 price. With Sony placing a big emphasis on both digital distribution and niche indie games on PlayStation 4, I think it's time the publisher went through its own back catalog and revive some lost classics as smaller scale downloadable games.
Our favorite pink-haired, high-jumping jungle boy is back!We're working with creator Tokuro Fujiwara to bring the beloved platformer Tomba to modern consoles...
No way! Lol. Brings back some memories.
But some gameplay would have been nice.
Limited Run Games announced Gex Trilogy and Tomba! are coming to modern platforms.
Omg. YES!
Someone was just calling for a Gex remake here on N4G recently, which I was 100% in support of. I didn't think it would happen so soon! I wish I could remember who said that... I think they knew something! 😆
***Edit --- Oooh, It's not a remake. I read more on their Carbon Engine. It's just an emulation. That's cool too, but I'm slightly let down.
Great news. I've wanted to get Tomba for a while but it's so expensive. Hope 2 isn't far away.
My heart stopped when I saw "Tomba! Announced" in the news. Then I read the surrounding words and felt slightly disappointed. Still, Whoopee Camp is active again, so the more Tomba-boosting the better. A new Tomba game would literally be a dream come true for me. I really hope that this is a stepping stone to that.
Thought I commented lol. Ummmm, hell yea to both and physical. Fk yea. I'm especially interested in Tomba but I'd like to get both. I used to buy lrg games since they came out with Saturday morning rpg and oddworld new and tasty. It's been a minute since I bought from them. I will be buying these. Wish their forum was still around.
Awesome
Limited Run have gone to shit these days after they were bought BUT it means there will probably be some collectors editions for this and the other games announced.
Gex, Tomba, Castlevania Advance Collection, Gargoyles Remastered, Jurassic Park, Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 Complete Edition, Shantae Advance: Risky Revolution to name a few announced.
You can usually find some decent ones every now and then, hopefully they come with some steelbooks.
Take a look at some PS1 game prices that have really taken off over the past 2 years. Some are trending much higher, but a few have dipped recently and it might be your last shot to get them into your collection affordably.
I'm still hoping for Shenmue 1 & 2 to be ported to the PlayStation Store.
I'm still hoping for Sony to buy the Crash Bandicoot rights back from Activision and reboot the franchise!!!!
I'd play Kinetica in a heartbeat. I loved that game. There are so many golden era franchises that could be dug up for purchase...Sony...make it so!!!
In the rain or in the snow,
I got the funky flow,
But now, I really gotta go
I got that game for Christmas in grade 7.
I'd love to see the outtakes for that level after everyone got rap battled out of using the washroom.
I don't get it? Umi Jammer's on psn but not Parapper.
