It's a fucking drawing retard

I'm skeptical of remakes, too, but I have a sliver of hope for it because it seems nUbisoft isn't involved in its development. It could be a labor of love project like Cuphead.
Landon Martinez
Cool I guess, but why would they remake a mediocre, obscure game instead of a new one?
Caleb Williams
Let's hope to make it better with more fluid combat.

So is Ubisoft still holding the rights to the IP or not? I see their trademark renewed under the logos, is this a situation like Streets of Rage 4 or Shenmue III where SEGA holds the IP but leavs development and publishing to someone else? Anyway, here's hoping the cliffhanger will get resolved this time.

Was just thinking about this game the other day, such a great and fun game. Man, that ending...
I really, really, really hope they stay true to the aesthethics of the comic, it's literally its soul and what sells it to me. The whole 70's-80's Espionage aesthethic, jazz funk and classic weapons and wardrobe, I don't want it set in the modern times with the shitty scary plastic tacticool cowaduty assault rifles we have
Not quite. They have clearly painted over a screenshot of the original game, hence the aliasing you can see, as well as the obvious polygonal barack to the right.
Can't find an exact replica of the view, but you get the idea.
Sadly, no Adam West, but no David Duchovny hopefully.
Hunter Perez
Then why there's their logo in OP's image labeled for current year?
Andrew Murphy
Shit I thought this was about FF XIII

>let’s make.a fucking remake Of a game that still looks amazing and aged well instead of a sequel to it with one of the biggest cliffhangers ever Fucking hell at least release a comic saying what happened after the ending of the first game
Jackson Jenkins
It could be a case of a rights overlap during the time the teaser was made.
