Interplay has announced a Clayfighter remaster, combining the content of all past games into one package.
Features include:
Characters such as Bad Mr. Frosty, Blue Suede Goo, Earthworm Jim, Hoppy, Boogerman, Tiny – and more with over 20 characters total
Over 20 familiar environments from the series to duke it out in
Brand new gameplay introducing new mechanics to the series such as double jumping, air dashing, counters, and reversals
Unique supers and ‘Claytality’ moves for each character
The game will feature remastered audio and high resolution visuals providing the ultimate clay based gaming experience
Clayfighter is intended for release on “personal computers” (likely Linux, Mac and PC, we assume) in 2016, and comes courtesy of a mysterious developer called Drip Drop games in collaboration with what’s left of Interplay.
Maybe the originals were captured in high resolution prior to scaling and made into sprites? If that’s the case, then no need to remold. I hope they don’t do some garbage 3D rendering shit, if you’ve ever played Wallace & Grommet then you’d know how bad 3D renders made to look like clay look.
I miss the days of awesome Interplay games, especially on PC.
