Earthworm Jim remake coming...again

Meh, I can't say I'm too hot on these modern remakes as of late. The Turtles in Time remake on XBLA was a travesty. The original music got scrapped, the voices replaced, and the style completely reworked to cater to kiddy fans of the current-gen TMNT. If this can stay true to the original EWJ's style, cool. Otherwise, I'm sick of people acting like a game has to be remade because "2D sprites look dated".

Here's hoping this gets the respect it deserves, and doesn't wind up as some low budget C-team project.

If it's a sequal, great, a complete re-boot...pass...maybe.

**GK Punk** · 08-17-2009, 05:51 PM

may as well reboot, it's been like 15 years since the original came out.

Peanut · 08-17-2009, 05:53 PM

So many things wrong here that I don't even want to attempt it.

Yeah, I do miss the mature and intelligent themes of the original Turtles in Time that was made specifically for adults.

What was wrong with the original that warranted this?

**GK Punk** · 08-17-2009, 06:11 PM

Nothing was. The original was bad ass.

Peanut · 08-17-2009, 06:32 PM

Lord God,

Please smite all of those who bring their idiotic movie remake bullsh*t into the domain I call home. The world of video games is already riddled with the likes of fanboys, elitists and ignorant pricks, don't let the remake whiners start crossing over.

Just because something is being remade, doesn't mean the original ceases to exist, yet people continue to use their retard logic to find something to whine about.

You know how stupid the human race is, Lord. Do me a solid.

Your friend, Peanut

P.S. I know you've got a plan and everything, but was the VD really necessary? I'm trying to find the silver lining, but it's kinda hard. We're still pals, though.

**GK Punk** · 08-17-2009, 06:44 PM

wait, I have no issues with a reamake. I Just was saying that if they do it, don't do a sequel, do a reboot/remake. It would make more sense after all these years.

VD is pretty tough, indeed. Oh well. Bacteria has to eat, too.

**Barkworm** · 08-18-2009, 01:25 AM

Where does it say that this is going to be a sequel or a reboot??? All I read is "original Earthworm Jim".

**GK Punk** · 08-18-2009, 01:30 AM

I was just responding to Jester about his comment.

**Barkworm** · 08-18-2009, 02:32 AM

No, I was referring to the title of this thread. Where was it stated that this will be a remake?

Peanut · 08-18-2009, 04:00 AM

Nowhere, it's all assumed right now. Mostly because Gameloft is involved, and the game is also coming to WiiWare, which wouldn't make much sense if it's just a port of the first game, and even less sense considering it's on the VC. Chances are it's a remake.
