[Telefrog]

"Who wants some Wang?"

Yes. Shadow Warrior. The 3D realms game. Now being done by Flying Wild Hog through Devolver Digital.

I was going to come back with a snarky "Good lord, what crap are they trying to resurrect now?" using Rise of the Triad as a possible example, but that's already being redone.

Oh, I know. "Good lord, what crap are they trying to resurrect now? Daikatana?"

Glad I got that off my chest

[Funkula]

Here, let me try.

"Good lord, what crap are they trying to resurrect now? Anachronox?"

Hey, it can't hurt to get it out there.

[Cold Blooded]

Would've preferred Blood myself, but if today's news is any indication, that isn't necessarily beyond realm of possibility.

[MrTibbs]

Whoa, this was unexpected. I've loved everything Digital Devolver's put out, and Hard Reset had such a great, volatile environment. This could be really neat. Mike Wilson's got his mojo back.

I guess I have to get around to playing Hard Reset!

Shadow Warrior was one of my `90s guilty pleasures. I know I ought to have been offended by it on any number of levels; and yet it made me LOL more than I care to admit. Not sure if I was laughing with or at SW, but it kept me amused, which is all I really care about.

But if there's any game less in need of a gritty reboot than Shadow Warrior, I don't know what it is. So here's hoping they keep it tongue-in-cheek a la Blood Dragon rather than trying to be Dark `n Serious.

I have to agree with the Blood comment. That game would be soooo awesome if it were re-made. To be fair, I have only watched videos of Shadow Warrior being played, I haven't actually played it myself.

It was indeed a fun romp of a shooter with a lot of neat design ideas. I don't recall being able to use (and retrieve) shuriken in any other game.

And yeah, a Blood redo would be welcome too.
