Popular Post Vergil Posted March 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted March 19, 2019 image: https://gematsu.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Castle-Crashers_03-19-19.jpg Castle Crashers Remastered is coming to PlayStation 4 and Switch this summer, developer The Behemoth announced. The game is being ported by PlayEveryWare. The side-scrolling arcade beat ’em up first launched for Xbox 360 in August 2008, followed by PlayStation 3 in August 2010, PC and Mac in September 2012, and Xbox One as Castle Crashers Remastered in September 2015. Here is an overview of Castle Crashers Remastered, as well as a short FAQ, via The Behemoth: ■ Castle Crashers Remastered Remastered Features A multiplayer mini-game called “Back Off Barbarian” that’s frantic and weird. Texture sizes of the game are five times the texture size of the original game. Castle Crashers Remastered runs at 60 frames per second. The original ran at 30 frames per second which feels kind of like a slideshow if you go back to it after trying this new one. All previously released downloadable content like characters, weapons, and animal orbs are available in-game. Various performance updates and improvements to gameplay and online multiplayer. Switch-Specific Features HD Rumble support. Nintendo Switch Online support. Four-player local Joy-Con support. PlayStation 4-Specific Features DualShock 4 light bar lights up with your character affinity color. ■ FAQ Why bring Castle Crashers Remastered to two more platforms now? Well, aside from it being one of the most requested things we get asked there’s some less obvious reasons. With Alien Hominid not being ported often, we’ve seen it slowly become unavailable in most places. When we make games we want them to stick around. Taking advantage of the updated hardware of each generation is also very satisfying. Higher resolutions, higher frame rates, chances to make tweaks, and better overall quality. Our debut title (Alien Hominid) was available on both Game Boy Advance and Nintendo GameCube. We’ve always eyeballed Nintendo’s platforms with a very warm heart. However, since the GameCube, Nintendo’s cool features often demanded more development time than we were able to balance while guaranteeing quality. For instance, dual screens requiring user interface and design reworks. The Nintendo Switch is perfect for us to make our return on and it brings with it the ability to have our games be portable. We always wanted to get onto the 3DS due to portability, so this is exciting for us! Why not a sequel, you say? Spooky tough question (but not really)! I often see people claim we would never make a sequel. That’s not accurate. We might make one someday, but it would have to hit all the right points at the right times. It has to be a product that would end up vastly improved, rather than “more of the same,” which is only something we can accomplish with gaining experience. Another thing to consider is that there would be no Castle Crashers 2 if we started out by making sequels. You’d have Alien Hominid 2 instead of Castle Crashers 1. Or, alternatively, there’d be no BattleBlock Theater if we made Castle Crasher 2. It’s fun making different worlds and genres you love and want more of. We like the idea of more too. A constant internal battle with our minds! When we sat down to make the company we already had more games ideas than we could ever physically make in the first place and we want to bring them to life. Conflicting stuff! Game 5 and beyond… Finally, among the many other projects we have going on right now, we’re working on our fifth game, code-named “Game 5.” Because of this our design babies are gestating within that womb of the development world. We’ll have more information on this later in the year hopefully. One thing at a time, my sweet, sweet loves. Next Thursday we’ll be attending PAX East 2019 in Boston, and will have the first playable versions of Castle Crashers Remastered on Switch and PlayStation 4 for those of you in attendance. More PAX East 2019 booth details to come later this week too.

Redgrave Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Nice! I remember playing the demo on PS3 and enjoying but I didn't have anyone to play with. Glad to see it's getting a remaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyondthegrave07 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 This is a great couch co-op game and is a blast. I'd recommend it. The real question is though, can we get a platinum this time around? Insane mode was not worth the gold trophy! It's definitely long enough for a platinum in this day and age. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spinosaurus Rex Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 If game will have a platinum, I consider grabbing it. If not, I'll probably don't bother. Damn, I still hope they'll release Battleblock Theater one day on PS4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Undead Wolf Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 I always heard good thing about this but I've never played it. I'm glad it's getting remastered, hopefully with a platinum this time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did... back when remaster was announced only for Xbone. I do agree on Dungeon Defenders though. 2 is indeed trash. Would love them to bring the original back. I tried to get back into the game on PS3 but without online it's just so boring. I always played it more on Steam. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheYuriG Posted March 25, 2019 Share Posted March 25, 2019 I just wonder why they didn't release the remastered version for the PS4 when it came out for the X1. Would that be THAT hard to do since you were already releasing in one platform? I could understand not doing it for the Switch since that's a platform they probably (?) did not have any experience with. Regardless though, it's being done by another company regardless, so dunno if that even matters at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
