Updated, but not a full-blown remake
My first reaction to this annoyingly teaserish trailer for was, “Holy eff! They’re remaking The Chaos Engine!” That is not quite what’s happening here — this is a “restoration” of the classic top-down co-op title (also known as Soldiers of Fortune), reports — but that’s not a name you hear frequently mentioned and I’m still excited nonetheless.
“We’ve seen dozens of terrible remakes of classic games,” explained producer Neil McKenna at Rezzed. “When we sat down and looked at it, it didn’t even need that. The gameplay, even though it is old-fashioned, it just works really well. You just need to add anything in.”
The Chaos Engine is already up for pre-order on . The site lists it as having a $9.99 Steam release (Windows, Mac, and Linux) planned for August of this year. Talk ab♔out completely unexpected, awesome news.
