I must have missed that, all I saw were a few small still images in their main video. Isn't it a bit odd they don't have a ton of gameplay footage available for a game that is to be released in less than 13 months?

They don't have the license to do the game unless the KickStarter gets funded.

Why-on-earth would they have already written a huge portion of the game if they don't know if it can ever be released??

Thanks for clarifying elmer!

So is there no actual game play footage of the game (in any format) available? Admittedly I only quickly scrolled through their kickstarter page and only found a bunch of stills

There's some early 3DS gameplay footage in the video.

Who cares about the other versions.

ONLY PCE MATTERS!

That is correct!

I want Gunsmoke.Riders.

II BUTTON shoots diagonal left. I BUTTON shoots diagonal right.

All the sprites/stages can feature this goofy "Saber Rider" IP, I suppose.

I would seriously like that idea, and then also have Wild Guns type challenge stages, that is if both types of stages could be worked in, that'd be ideal.

To me, since the show was essentially a wild west shootout in the future, having the rapid fire run n' gunning is just nope.

Sunset Riders is basically just Metal Slug in Dodge City.   It's kind of dumb, as a result.

The list of games I can think of that have a cooler shootout feel to them are....

Golgo 13 and Mafat Conspiracy
Rolling Thunder
City Hunter
Codename Viper
Shinobi
Cyber Cross


The idea of a Gunsmoke style was tempting for about 30 seconds.

PCE has enough shmups.

Well with the news officially out that Aetherbyte will be working with these guys on the PCE version, I think this game has a real shot of being something special.  Atlantean was absolutely awesome, so I wish you the best of luck Arkhan.

Were you thinking of a strong platforming aspect to it?

[Gredler]

Dick Tracy and would be a good skeleton to flesh out and reskin to a wild west theme

A rolling thunder style game would be the tits, the TITS I say...

[spenoza]

I have always wondered why, with all the games Namco DID put on the PC Engine, that the PCE never got a Rolling Thunder or Rolling Thunder 2 port. I feel like the system is very well designed for the large character sprites in those games.

[Arkhan]

The only thing Rolling Thunder style wouldn't need in Saber Rider would be the doors.

lol.  Those are dumb.

I am not sure on platforming.  That really depends on the art/level/prototypes of what they show us.

You cray cray, the doors are awesome...

Gotta agree!

Doors are lame. Truth.
