drahkon Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Today it was decreed that the heroes of Gauntlet must travel to a new realm, and coming August they will finally descend the dungeons on PlayStation 4! The classic Gauntlet four-player co-op action gameplay returns in a completely new experience! Play as one of four distinct heroes in an intense monster-filled dungeon brawler, with a combination of both uniquely built and randomly generated levels to explore. Battle the endless hordes of foes as you and your friends fight for treasure and glory via both local and online co-op multiplayer. And now a note from Emil Englund, Game Director, Arrowhead Game Studios: “Hello there. I am here today to tell you that you were right. Yes, as many of you have already theorized, we will be releasing Gauntlet: Slayer Edition on the PS4. This has been in the works now for a while and it’s been so frustrating not being able to just tell everyone the news. Gauntlet is simply a game that feels right at home on the PS4. This however, will not just be a straight port, but a stronger, cooler and more slayer-y version of the one we released on the PC. We’ve been shaping up a lot of the assets in the game, both Characters and Environments, as well as improving on the game mechanics. This time around, we wanted to explore the Heroes and their Abilities more in-depth giving them a bigger toolset for players to explore, as well as a new Game Mode in which to exercise their rights as self-proclaimed monster slayers. Since Hero Equipment plays a larger role now, we have reworked the loadout mechanic so that it can be done by 4 players simultaneously and regardless of game mode. For the story campaign we wanted to give the feeling that you are descending deeper and deeper into the Gauntlet, while at the same time giving players more control over level selection. We have also pushed the differences in each environment more, increasing variation both visually and in monster encounters. That’s some of the stuff we’ve been working on these past months, but more details to come in following blog posts. On a sidenote, this release is particularly exciting for us here at Arrowhead, since this will be the second game we release on PlayStation this year, after Helldiver (yay!).” Source - PlayStation.Blog.Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somme Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 I loved Gauntlet 2 on the NES and have wanted that relesed on VC for bloody years. Will get this day one and hope it's just as fun, or moreso, than the version I played so many years ago. "Warrior shot the food!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
