Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection // Announcement Trailer

Doesn't look as good as Ultimate Ghost'n Goblins, but ok, i'll buy it either way.


Looks like the difficulty level is up there with the original.
In my opinion, every game got harder than the last one. I actually think that the NES one it's the gentler one. Ultimate it's kinda masochist even in comparison.

The art style may grow on me, especially as it seems to be based on the Japanese box art of the early games. If this is the only way I can have a GnG game, then so be it.

It looks pretty bad. Just like a cheap Flash game. What a disappointment.

Flash-game-looking artstlyes should not be allowed on consoles.

HARD PASS. I'd rather play the beautiful original on a CRT.

I hate that shit too, it's not even about the design but that trashy way of animating limbs independently instead of making the full sprite animate looks horrible.
I understand that making sprites it's hard and time consuming but common! i'm pretty sure that 20 year old games and indies had smaller budgets and the only difference it's the expertise and how that budget it's used.}

Not to mention, Ultimate it's actually 3d and it looks way better under the original resolution. You can do all type of fuckery to make look 3d sprites look good too, like Valfaris for example.

The game's choice of visuals is disappointing. The style it's going for is difficult to pull-off and usually requires a greater sense of depth and higher quality art assets; otherwise, everything just looks flat and awkwardly animated. Maybe I'll consider it at a decent sale price, but then again, I don't much want to be stuck staring at what's on display in the trailer for any considerable length of time.

I don't see how you can compare a 14 year old game with Resurrection. The graphic style of UGNG was nice for it's time (for a hand held and even better on a emulator), but clearly Resurrection has better graphics.

The people calling it a weak looking flash game need only look at the Wonder Boy remake posted on page one. THAT is a weak looking flash game, certainly not Resurrection. The characters are beautifully remodeled in 3D and pay homage to the originals.

can you please take a second look at how characters are animated in both games? Resurrection looks like discount Vanillaware which is precisely what people mean by "flash game"

Yes, the new one looks sharper, that hardly qualifies as better graphics in my book.

Ugh this looks absolutely terrible. Art style reads like a mobile game.

I totally love this the series. Used to be able to finish Ghouls and Ghosts on Genesis without taking a hit. But this new incarnation really suffers for lack of sprites. Looks cheap and slapped together. Seriously hoping they make major improvements before release.

The Super Ghouls and Ghosts Restoration rom hack is one of my most-played MiSTer titles (using an original SNES controller via SNAC of course).

A Knightmare Resurrected

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a reboot that brings the beloved Capcom franchise back to life and into the 21st century. Paying homage to Ghosts ‘n Goblins and Ghouls ‘n Ghosts, the latest entry combines the franchise’s action platforming gameplay with storybook-like graphics and challenging new obstacles.

The game follows the valiant knight Arthur as he runs, jumps and battles his way through eerie stages set in the Demon Realm, a demonic fantasy world. Brave knights will need to proceed with extreme caution as terrifying dangers await, including familiar enemies like Zombie, Skeleton Murderer, Pigman and Red Arremer.

Ghosts ‘n Goblins Resurrection is a nostalgic, yet fresh adventure that welcomes back its faithful fans, while introduces a new generation of heroes to challenge one of gaming's classic series.

WoW Awesome ! i really like that Vanillawere artstyle it suits the world of G&G very well

gameplay wise it doesn't look like a remake at all which's a good thing

now let's hope the game gets a physical release

I'm ok with the backgrounds. But the characters and how they're drawn and animated just doesn't sit right with me. They sort of look out of place.

Holy shit.


11 year old me is screaming and crying tears of joy.


for the record I got to the end around 1987/1988 on my NES, no idea I’d have to do it all over again. What a fucking letdown I was DEVASTATED . Back then no internet, it was friends or gaming mags on all gaming info. I still remember breaking the news of the vine to the second warp zone to my friends in SMB — gaming god for a week.

Anyways after being trolled by the developers I doggedly pursued perfecting a second play through of Ghosts and Goblins. Was close one day but my mother got pissed I’d been on the NES so long and pulled the plug (i was on my second playthrough about 2 min from the true ending). 😩

I did eventually finally beat the game, it was a HUGE achievement, truly meant something in my life. No internet to show off to ... just a personal victory over a game that had royally fucked me at the end of my first run. Was finally able to say fuck you back.

I BEAT YOU BITCH

Were you 10 when you played Dead Space or something?

I'm jealous and feel old.


My love for Dead Space (all 3 but 1 for me easily takes it still) knows no bounds.

I went to school to study games/animation/art cuz I was so inspired by that game.

I want to be buried with Dead Space 🤣

EDIT: LOL wrong thread OOPS

I'm crazy about this game too actually. Very, very pleased this is a thing.

OMG finally. Welcome back Sir Arthur. It's been a long, long time. I think the game looks great and once again, it looks like

Fucking, wow, it looks great. I'll never get past the first minutes 'cause I suck at it, but it still looks glorious. Fucking right on, Capcom. Redemption!

in the glory days of the 80s games were designed to suck in quarters. So every game everyone sucked at it.

but we got better on those titles we loved. Oh did we get better.
 
I was super hyped, then I saw the screenshots. Fucking hideous. Edit: And then I watched the video. Well, I guess the original will always still be an option.

Cool, did not expect this at all.

I like the pencil art style it goes well with the game, I think peoples complaints are more do with the lack of animation and thats what gives the flash game look.
