GAUNTLET DARK LEGACY Needs a Remake, and I'll Tell You Why.

  • Sometimes it feels like the odds are forever stacked against the Gauntlet franchise, but in this video, I do my part to talk about why Gauntlet: Dark Legacy in particular is such a special game and is deserving of a comeback. Whether that ends up being a simple remaster, a complete, from the ground up remake with new bells and whistles, or a true sequel to the game, I would be happy. Dark Legacy is a four-player powerhouse of a game with interesting locations and characters, and thanks to the emergence in popularity of sword-and-shield heavy games like Demon's Souls and Hades, as well as co-op focused experiences like Vampire Survivors, Vermintide II, and more recently, Helldivers 2, I think there is a niche to carve out that a new 3D Gauntlet entry could uniquely fulfill. Now is a better time than ever.
    Special thanks to my friend Tristin for providing footage of Diablo III, since I can't seem to find my copy anywhere, as well as educating me on the glory that is Gauntlet Slayer Edition. Additional thanks to DannyKhan419, who made the up-res texture pack for Dark Legacy that is featured occasionally in this video. The EarthBound text boxes I used were from a generator made by Bill Eager, a legend in the Mother community.

    My local bowling alley had a Gauntlet Legends machine, and I remember playing it all the time as a kid. I miss those days. They replaced it with a Metal Slug machine 15 or 20 years ago, and I stopped going to the arcade about then.

Definitely more fun with friends but doable alone. Just a tip -- the boss in the first world is WAY too strong to take on by yourself at first, but after playing through the first four levels you should have enough gems to go to the next world -- I'd recommend going to world 2 instead and get stronger before trying to challenge the world 1 boss. I think I beat the world 1 boss when I was in world 3, lol.

    I don't get what Warner is doing. They're sitting on so many great Midway IPs and just letting them die on the vine. Aside from Mortal Kombat and a couple games like Rampage and Gauntlet in the 2010s, they're doing nothing with the properties. David Zaslov is doing everything to cut costs, including canceling TV shows and movies and then writing them off for taxes. Why not either license out or sell off IPs they've been sitting on? I'm sure plenty of devs would love to make a new Gauntlet, Rush, or Hydro Thunder. It's mindboggling.

    • @humblemudgames
      @humblemudgames  5 днів тому +1

      I'm absolutely with you, and I think those 3 franchises specifically would do so well if they were brought back. over the life of my channel I've talked about all three of those in varying capacities. in fact my latest video talks about Hydro Thunder Hurricane. Midway had so many good things going but unless it's Scorpion and Sub Zero, they don't care.
      Thing is, they totally could leverage the MK franchise popularity to sell these other games... imagine unlocking an MK character as a playable Gauntlet fighter or something.

    I always thought this game could use a remake similar to Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 plays. Even if it was basically identical, it would still work really well since a lot of gameplay aspects of the game like the top-down view, going against hordes of enemies, are quite similar. The major differences not relying on projectiles for attacks (it uses multi-hit combos [though some are melee and some are ranged] and 'powers' instead, like a more in-depth version of when you're really close-up to enemies in Dark Legacy and are forced to use melee enemies), the lack of a medieval aesthetic (but Ultimate Alliance 1 has that with the final level). Actually, I always felt the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games (and X-Men Legends) is quite similar to Gauntlet Legends and Dark Legacy. Just make Elektra's classic outfit green and you've got a human version of the green archer LOL
    Also, a remaster but with HD textures and online capabilities would still work, as you mentioned. There's a Discord server that showcases all of the progress of the project which someone else mentioned.

      I've always liked the Marvel Ultimate Alliance and X-Men Legends games, and yeah, Gauntlet would absolutely work with this format.

    My partner and I are currently doing our annual playthrough of GDL. I grew up with legends and hadn’t known of dark legacy until I met him 6 years ago. It will always be one of my favorites and I’ve been following the fan remake project for a few years now. I really hope it pans out!
    As for a lot of my favorite old games, I can see why it’s hard from a developer standpoint because you have your core audience that is getting older, typically has a full time career, children, etc by now with little time or money for gaming, where if you were to release a game for that demographic, it might not be profitable since most modern/younger gamers want so much more out of games than most folks my age that have a harder time adapting to an insane amount of controls and options.
    Games today are overloaded with so much unnecessary content and features that modern audiences would probably get bored fast and even as a hardcore fan, I get it.
    Back when FF7 remake was in the talks, it sounded like they wanted to have a retro turn based option in addition to the new modernized battle system. Though it’s one of my least favorites in the series, I would have loved to give it a chance if they did, but they didn’t and it left myself and a lot of the core fans feeling left out of a game remake that our generation made popular.
    I wish there was a company dedicated to buying the rights to retro cult classics and adapting them to have a classic version and a modern version with multiple selection types. Say for instance for Gauntlet, being able to pick your monster difficulty, generator speed, item durations, trap damage etc for both versions, but maybe for the classic mode to play more like dark legacy and the modern mode to be closer to the gameplay, attacks, spell choices etc like 2014 but all with the whimsical aesthetics and settings of dark legacy because that is the whole charm of it and why it’s stood the test of time.
    The problem with the modern versions like 2014 is that they looks pretty much like everything else out there these days and we need that silly, whimsical charm back as badly as yellow wizard needs food!

    • @humblemudgames
      @humblemudgames  Місяць тому +1

      I agree with pretty much everything you said; Dark Legacy and Legends have a certain charm and campiness (the kind of 80s b movie horror film charm I was talking about) that isn't really present in Gauntlet 2014. However, like you said, it'd be nice for a Dark Legacy successor to have some of the features of Gauntlet 2014. And I also mentioned how it would be cool to have a "Classic mode" variant as well, so it sounds like we're on the same wavelength!
      Yeah, unfortunately there aren't a lot of companies re-releasing older games with new features. The closest ones I can think of to what you're suggesting are THQ Nordic, who has brought pretty competent HD ports forward to modern consoles of games from the 360/PS3 era, which I really enjoy. However, they don't add much outside of big fixes. Still nice though, and it's a major effort they do to port all of these older games over.
      The closest thing I can think of to what you're describing is Nightdive Studios, who brings back classic FPSes like Turok with a bunch of QoL features.
      Or in the case of Quake I&II, free updates recently came out for both of those games that offer a SLEW of features that enhance the vanilla experience.
      There is a really cool Wizardry remake coming soon that I'm excited about. There are some cool things out there but yeah, nothing quite like you're describing.
      I'm rooting for the fan remake too, and I'm glad you all are having fun on yet another annual playthrough! Sounds like a great way to bond 😊 Thanks for sharing!

      Quake 2 is also one of my favorites, but there’s pretty much only been one active server in my area for the last 10+ years. It’s been so hard to find servers since game spy disappeared.

    a bit of trivia:
    the differences between dark legacy and legends are the following:
    Legends had 6 worlds instead of 8 along with the 12 runestones and final boss. Legends ended at Scorn
    Dark Legacy added 4 more base characters which are basically gender swapped versions of the legends characters.
    as mentioned, the starting zone from dark legacy and the final zone of dark legacy are the two additional zones added in that version.
    there were two additional games released in the Gauntlet franchise after Dark Legacy.
    The first was an absolutely mediocre ps2 exclusive title that played more like lord of the rings or dark alliance, focusing more on melee combat.
    The second was a digital only release made by an indie studeo that also flopped because it played more like a generic party based dungeon crawler.
    Neither of the two above games captured what made Dark Legacy so great.
    Trivia over, now time for me to lament the fact that there is no good way to play Dark Legacy on modern platforms without emulation and trying to pick the best version to emulate lol.

      I absolutely concur everything you're saying here. in my opinion, the Xbox or GameCube version of Dark Legacy is best, as they added QoL features the PS2 versions don't have. I personally played the GameCube version of the game on my softmodded Wii for the purposes of my video!

      Yeah, you're absolutely right. Capcom has been proving that re-releasing old titles with added online play gets people hyped (most notably with Marvel vs Capcom 2 and the upcoming Power Stone 1/2) so it's very easy for me to imagine a wide screen port of Dark Legacy with online co-op printing money, on the Switch especially

      Honestly, no, there isn't. LotR and Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance are the closest I can identify but they're still not the same. In fact, to me it seems like Gauntlet Seven Sorrows took inspiration from those two and became a worse game because of it. It lost its way.

      I didn't touch on it in this video but yeah, the Lich is SUPER hard, especially if you play it solo here like I did. The good thing is that you get the gems you need to go to the next realm, so that's what I did. And the wizard tells you that you can find items later that help you defeat him. So I think they expect you to come back. But yeah, he is probably harder than pretty much all the other regular bosses. I think the Plague Fiend is probably the easiest.
