Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 16th April 2003
From Games Are Fun:
Quote:Vectorman and Altered Beast on PS2
Gamers.com is reporting that two development studios are working on new installments in two classic Sega series for the PlayStation 2. The latest magazines will be hitting newsstands in a few days, and they'll have the scoop on Vectorman from Pseudo Interactive (Cel Damage) and Altered Beast from Sega's own WOW Entertainment. There's also speculation that the games will be unveiled in video or playable form at E3 in May, so you can expect full coverage from GAF.

YESSSSS!!! Vectorman was one of my favorite Genesis games so this is quite the awesome surprise. I already knew about Altered Beast since it was on that leaked Sega Europe release list, but it's also good to hear confirmation.

Vectorman's awesome! Now I can add that to Virtua Fighter 4, Panzer Dragoon Orta, and the Shenmue games for Sega games I want but can't get! Yay!
Vectorman for the PS2!! - Sacred Jellybean - 16th April 2003
What was Vectorman like?
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 16th April 2003
Vectorman 1 & 2 are awesome side-scrollers where you play as this roller-blading robot guy who shot sparkly stuff out of his hands.
Just trust me when I say that they're great games.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 16th April 2003
Yeah... but you left out the most unique part -- how Vectorman's made of spheres...
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 16th April 2003
Well I wanted to leave something for you.
Oh and you could only rollerblade in the second game. You can find a demo of the first game... somewhere on the net. I don't remember where I got it from.

There are always the Genesis roms... :)
Vectorman for the PS2!! - Weltall - 16th April 2003
I hated Vectorman.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 16th April 2003
How? They were great sidescrolling action/platformers!
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 16th April 2003
Weltall doesn't like good shooters. He also hated JFG, remember?
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 16th April 2003
I forgot that... I guess you're right.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - Weltall - 17th April 2003
I like shooters. Just not those two.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 17th April 2003
Do you like Contra? Metroid? How about Metal Slug?
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 17th April 2003
If you say no to those, you're hopeless...
Vectorman for the PS2!! - Private Hudson - 17th April 2003
What's the bet they make them really shitty 3D games?
Then again, there has been a couple of decent 2D -> 3D upgrades recently (Metroid and Shinobi come to mind)
Either way, I can't wait to play 'em. They'll still sell like shit, though.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 17th April 2003
Well Altered Beast should be good since WOW is making it, but I dunno about the other developer. Cel Damage wasn't too bad, but can they make a good Vectorman game?

And here are the first two screens from the game! Just remember that it's not coming out until 2004, so it looks a bit rough right now:

I'm dissapointed by Vecorman's look, however. He looks more like Master Chief than Vectorman. He's supposed to be made out of a bunch of spheres!
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 28th April 2003
Blah... looks like any other robot action game... SPHERES!! Where are they? That's not Vectorman!
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 28th April 2003
I know. Let's just hope that it changes a lot before it comes out next year.

Yes, yes and never played it.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 28th April 2003
Metal Slug is Contra, but with WAY better graphics and animations, and a different powerup system. Great series...
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 28th April 2003
Metal Slug is a cartoony version of Contra.
Vectorman for the PS2!! - A Black Falcon - 28th April 2003
Metal Slug is a BETTER version of Contra... :)
Vectorman for the PS2!! - OB1 - 28th April 2003
No Metal Slug game is as good as Contra 3 or Shattered Soldier.
