Rumor: Medievil 2 Remake in Development
- Thread starter Star-Lord
- Start date
A Dragoon remake would require the resources of 5 medieval remakes.
Each to their own of course, but I've never seen LOD as anything other than a painfully average JRPG.
Veeeeery pretty game though for it's time.
For the fans the story characters and lore are very interesting in addition to the music and prodction vales...gameplay is very simple but everything else is very memorable
FYI, the second game was never re-released as a PS1 classic. So this is a pretty big deal. Especially if
They include the original PS1 version like they did with the previous remake.
Hoping they change Dan's voice in 2 and more like 1.
2's voice changed from the first, and he sounded like a dork... /: (
The first mumbling while wearing a tin bucket on his head much cooler, in my opinion.

Hmm. How about no. How about you remaster Puppeteer and put in the PS4. Promise me that Sony and I'll your little Medieval remasters.
That would be cool. Who is the developer of the remake, and do we know if they have the capacity to make a full original game?
Could work really well tbh
The game has a similiar mechanic to the bonfire, secrets in an open level, puzzles. They can basically make it similiar to Demon's Souls in level structure (short cuts, hub which is kind of there in the original) and it would still be true to the original games.
While I think MediEvil PS4 improved a hell of a lot of issues that the original had (I love it because nostalgia, but it doesn't hold up at all on the PS1 today, and I've not even played since the patch the fixed even more things), the second game holds up pretty damn well, so any improvements can only serve to strengthen it.
The aesthetics are so much cooler than the original though, and it goes to show how, like Bloodborne, adding Victorian Horror elements to a sequel always makes it cooler.
It certainly wouldn't have bombed here in the UK. It's one of the PS1 games that was really popular/loved over here, up with Spyro, Oddworld and Ape Escape as like the second tier of most popular PS1 games- with Crash, Tomb Raider, MGS, Tekken, GT, and FFVII as the first tier.

Yes please. If they adhere to the gameplay of the original again then it won't review any better than MediEvil 2019, but I don't really care. I just love that world and its characters. It's always great to have Sir Dan back.
I'm sure it did in America. Judging by some of the European charts though, it seems to have done pretty good for itself. And the game wasn't exactly a costly affair either.

All of this was running through my head when playing the remake 😂
I'll be there day 1. Loved the first remake.
I have not played Medievil 2, but i think i saw a video of it ending on a cliffhanger...will it pay off this time?

I think an open hub-based structure to the game world is actually what the original creators were planning to do with MediEvil 3 anyway. It definitely would be the logical direction to advance the series.
It took 19 years, but we finally did get some sort of payoff with the comic book that was released alongside the remake. The comic picks up from the MediEvil 2 cliffhanger and is based on the plot of a cancelled PS2 MediEvil 3 game.
I do wonder, if by some miracle we manage to get MediEvil 3, whether the developers would use that plot or create a new one.
No joke, I'd be more excited for a MediEvil 2 remake from Bluepoint than a Demon's Souls one.
I don't think it needs to be a DS clone, especially difficulty wise, and I think it'd need to be more like Sekiro in terms of not having stamina/having more control of Sir Dan, considering it is a platformer after all. Sure, a shield was basically a necessity at most times, but it was never about cautiously hiding behind it: it was there to charge into fights recklessly.
However, having a world with interconnected areas compared to levels and a map screen would be a great way to bring the formula up to date.
Me too, because I like the setting more (fantasy style). But MediEvil 2 is still great and a lot of fun ^_^
Me too, it's my favourite PS IP and the PS4 remaster was a disservice to the series.
I remember fondly the Jack the Ripper level.
I never liked the loss of the Heroes' Hall.
Totally different setting and Sir Dan has a "friend" this time ;) It kinda made sense that they went without the Hall of Heroes. The Jack the Ripper level was awesome ;D
Oke, cool. Well i think, if there ever will be a Medievil 3, ut would be nice for the the real hard core fans to get the game they never got back in the day. Woyld also be nice to see a cancelled game from almost 20 years ago come back.
Same here. Never cared for the Souls games, but I'd take a MediEvil 2 remake from Blue point.
Ghost Hunter had damn amazing graphics for the PS2.
It also had a damn annoying difficulty curve.
But yeah, I hope this is true. Loved the first remake and platinum'd it, so I'm in for a remake of 2 as I never played the sequel.
Never played the 2nd one, but it sounds like it has a bit of a different vibe/setting than the 1st? Can someone fill me in on how it's different please?
Haven't played it myself, but IIRC it's set in Victorian London in the late 1800s (as you meet Jack the Ripper in the game) and it's generally harder, I think?
The first one is standard horror stuff, with zombies, pumpkins, skeletons etc., whereas the sequel takes place 500 years later in Victorian times. Sir Dan is a museum exhibit at this point, but he's brought back to life when a new villain finds Zarok's spell book. There's also more of a story to it, compared to the original.
You also have a few new abilities. I guess one is sort of a spoiler, Dankenstein, which is like a boxing minigame where you put your head on a Frankenstein monster and Dan-Hand (plus headless Dan) which is his head on a zombie hand, which is used for puzzles, and to access small spaces.
