Chris Buffa (Modojo): Sega's After Burner Climax is one of the more intense arcade-style action games for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, complimented by high-speed play and beautiful graphics. The iPhone and iPad title retains many of these qualities. Fighter jets scream into the background and foreground, things explode and pretty scenery whizzes past as players travel hundreds of miles per hour. Sloppy controls and nagging performance issues, unfortunately, make this inferior version somewhat disappointing.
After Burner Climax launched on home consoles and PC back in 2010, and we've seen very little of the series since.
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
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.
