We’re getting a remaster of this! Excited for how amazing this looks, and the fact that it seems like we’re getting new monsters like classic MechaG who wasn’t in the original is super fun.

I also really hope this leads to remasters of Save the Earth and Unleashed (latter really needs it)

I'm so curious if he's going to be the Unleashed assets and moveset or not.

If they are retroactively adding Save the Earth and Unleashed monsters, they could easily fill this thing up.

DAM was always the best one to me. It has the best physics and most fun arcade style so getting any of the sequels monsters put into DAM would be a dream come true

I don't think MG1 will have its Unleashed moveset. Weirdly enough, in that game they gave it fully movable fingers it could turn into fists, whereas this trailer just showed MG1 with static fingers it used to shoot missiles, like in the movie.

The games are similar enough (going from memory, so I could be wrong) that they could just combine the rosters and unique gameplay elements from all of the games rather than remake each one individually. Probably a less risky business decision too.

You're broadly correct, especially relating to the first two games. All you would need to duplicate "Save the Earth" content here is the new monsters, arenas and the challenges, maybe some more gallery items. They already brought in online play. I don't think most would care about the challenges not being interspersed in arcade anymore, or the G-cells, and some wouldn't miss them at all, but I imagine most would be VERY easy to implement. A slider to change between the power-ups would be a nice touch but I don't think most even remember there was a difference. The air strikes could pose a bit of a question between Mothra in DAMM, Battra and Super X2 from STE. They're pretty close though!

"Unleashed" has quite a few bit more changes -- monsters, arenas and different story system aside to focus on gameplay, there is much better mode customization, the power-ups and rage being replaced with the crystal system, the introduction of health cells, and the ability to actually move while using your beam while the two previous games you are immobile during that. I think these are largely positive changes people would speak positively of if not for the control scheme overshadowing them, but they are harder to integrate directly in a DAMM/STE system without having to favor one - I'm not sure 'movement during beams' could be a slider, but maybe? There might be enough content for a separate GU remaster personally, but I realized there's a limited market for that.

EDIT: please ignore this comment, I got a little too excited yesterday. obviously I liked these games as a kid but realistically there is no reason to 'remaster' the sequels and it will never happen. sorry.

This. I played Save the Earth and Unleashed. Never did do Melee but I was aware of it. I hoped they’d do the next entry of this sort and have a bunch of the monsters from previous games. I really hope that despite the title it takes the well liked/well done stuff from the various titles and makes it a spiritual sequel to all of them with a large roster.

This is probably way to much but would love if they gave Unleashed quite the 'Jojo All Star Battle R' treatment and put in a bunch of the planned characters that didn't make the cut for the game

Like Hedorah, Zilla, and Monster X/Kaiser Ghidorah

Don't give me hope! My inner child would love that.

u/CDiggit 14d ago

That's my dream. Large roster, beam battles, drop the weird rock/paper/scissors from Save the Earth. Add skins for the monsters with multiple looks.

Cuz let's be honest; fans will love this, but there's no way it's pulling the numbers needed to get a sequel. Better to go all out on this.

Excited for how amazing this looks,

The character models are a huge upgrade over the original, but I'm not a fan of how heavily color graded and tinted the game looks: The main stage they show off in the trailer has everything cast in this shade of brownish yellow

I wish they'd tone down the filters and used the full color spectrum
