Sega has opened the official site of Golden Axe: Beast Rider and released five new concept images that can be viewed below.
The game is coming to PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in summer 2008.

Golden Axe is a great game I enjoyed it on the SMS, Genesis and in the arcade. Great game but it truly was a quarter eater back in the day. I wish Sega could get the rights to the arcade port of Moonwalker another great arcade game I enjoyed. Collect so many monkeys and become Robo Michael lol.
Okay, Sega. the devs of Streets of Rage 4 together and let's make a new Golden Axe happen.
These remakes and remasters are must-haves in this next generation.
Gunstar Heroes was made by Treasure. I'm not sure if that IP actually belongs to Sega. If it does, the ONLY modern day developer that I think would do that game justice is Housemarque. Maybe Sega could collaborate with Sony to let them make a modern day Gunstar Heroes. I definitely think Shinobi and Afterburner need modern day remakes though.
I feel like there are stronger Sega IP's than some of the ones that were listed such as...
Vector Man
Comix Zone
Virtual On
Ranger X
Jet Set Radio
Landstalker
Eternal Champions
Totally agreed. That’s a good start. Here’s a few more I think would covert well.
Virtua Fighter
Fighting Vipers
Sonic Adventure
Condemned
Shinobi
Altered Beast
Shenmue (properly supported)
Probably still my favorite horror game of all time. I’ve been into that kind of shit my whole life so I don’t scare easy but condemned got me. When you’re looking down a hallway and see people peaking out. The heart was kicking lmao.
I need to play it again. I played a year or 2 ago and it still held up. Graphics are obviously dated but just the premise. Like pulling pipes off of the wall and shit. You don’t see that anymore. I’d take the same game with a new can of paint, it still feels good. Multiplat remaster do it. I don’t think criminal origins ever came to PlayStation.
As hard as it was, the Shinobi remake that came out on PS2 was decent. But yes, a new remake would be great. Always loved that series.
looks pretty good but I do not have high expectations for this game even though the originals were fantastic. It just seems like when gaming made the transition from 2D to 3D some developers lost some of their magic. Sega being one of them.
The last two classic franchises resurrected by Sega were Shinobi and Altered Beast on PS2. Both average at best. Being a long time Sega fan it was a let down.
I will keep my hopes up for the new iteration of Golden Axe. I just hope that Sega doesn't let me down again.
A remake of the old in hidef would be perfect!
Lol the original is one of the best arcade games ever - Even the stupid Conan the barbarian pictures when you complete it.
Don't know why this is new. The actual in-game pics released last month are horrendous.
I want this game to do well, but like everyone else... I'm not too sure what the end result might be!
Let's hope sega's ready to make a rebound and become a respectable developer again!
