Xbox 360 PS3

SEGA and Secret Level woke up and decided to share some new images for the videogame Golden Axe: Beast Rider developed on the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. Nostalgic fans who fed their pocket money to the arcade machines way back then will be able to revisit this franchise in three dimensions. There will be ground and mounted battles, with many references to the classic. Its release date is set to this year.

Last pics kinda remind me of the ground levels from Panzer Dragoon Orta. She looks a bit like the same character.

(It's a bit disappointing that the graphics remind me of an old xbox game aswell)

This might have looked better if each screen was a bit less monotonous. Right now it's either very warm/redish or very cold/blueis in a very undramatic kind of way. It just gives an overall impression of dullness. All the colors look faded, almost blurring together.

Bleh i don't like how this looks and it will certainly not be as good as the good old Golden Axe games.

Those screens don't look very fantastic, but however, I wanna see more. Can't wait for it, and hope it won't dissapoint. But what happened to her back in screen Nr 1?? Looks awful painful ^^

female only character only? a heavenly sword knock off?

they should make a true Golden Axe game then do spin-offs, not the other way around.

Who is Secret Level?

Also the creature on pic 3 (on the left) looks like one of the Gremlins after they mutate from eating after midnight

Game looks really washed out though, and I don't want to play as some lame broad

yep, they've deleted classic characters too. Shame, this could of been awesome with 4 players over live.

Sega never learn.. they'd rather milk the sonic cash cow and bury that into the ground than invest in something that takes abit of effort.

Give us Shenmue 3 or GTFO!

Why can't they just do another side-scroller with new content?

Lowest resolution on 360 yet? But as they're not trying to hide it by releasing super-antialiased bullshots, it's hard to rip on them too much.

Graphics probably look better in motion. Not bad looking but nothing spectacular.

One question. The pic of the two big things, with the distortion near the ground. Thats heat cause its a desert right? Cause it looks like its all coming from on tof the things junk...
