Basically these guys remade windjammers in 3-D with a different camera angle and multiplayer up to 4 people.

Homage or rip off? You be the judge.

 

[NeoSneth]

It's both. Those disc patterns are identical.
Looks good tho.

 

[mjmjr25]

Yeah, bounces, disc flips, disc contrails - all direct rips. Hopefully their honest about their inspiration.

That said - looks fun.

 

[kuze]

Hopefully their honest about their inspiration.

Unfortunately they don't seem to be in that video.

 

[sparksterz]

Wow...it would've been harder to rip it off even more than they have! I mean who even owns the rights to Data East's IP these days, picked a good game to remake.

[Tron]

They need to admit it's a modern day windjammers Still if the final product turns out good,sold !!

 

[egg_sanwich]

It actually looks really good, with suitably fast gameplay. Looks miles better than the 3DS version that was being talked about a few months back to be honest.

The inspiration is obvious, and I feel like these guys are trying their hardest not to drop the "WindJammers" name the whole interview.

 

[HornheaDD]

Very rippy offy but like the others mentioned, looks fun! The name is also just both of the JPN and US names lol.

 

[Cylotron]

I saw the video and also thought "oh a Windjammers remake. Cool!"

I bet if an interviewer asked them about Windjammers they'd say "what's that?..."

 

[Jarofmayo]

Looks like it'd be pretty fun to play.

 

[Xian Xi]

That camera angle would ruin it for me.

 

[joecommando]

That camera angle would ruin it for me.

That and if the music is anything like the music in the gameplay trailer then this game would get on my nerves fast.

 

[xsq]

That camera angle would ruin it for me.

I had the exact same reaction.

 

[Kid Panda]

Nolan Bushnell called. He wants Pong back.

 

[GregN]

Looks haut. (Not the legs, the game).

 

[Kid Panda]

Someone looked at the proto and found this.

 

[Setherial]

Ripoff, looks fun, would buy!

 

[munchiaz]

looks fun, but lacks the charm that windjammers had.

 

[BerryTogart]

I don't like the angel, but imagine the original with 4p

 

[xsq]

imagine the original with 4p

we need someone to haxor that!

And now it's Neo Drift Out's turn:

 

[xsq]

And now it's Neo Drift Out's turn

looks more like driving remote controlled cars... and holy crap that music is awful.

They should've made it more like Revolt or Ignition ^^

Could still be fun though... if I get a PS4 for KOF16 I'll check out the Demo
