Segatron Genesis... call me the wizard.
Rejoice, fans of Game Arts's long-dormant Lunar RPG series (no, Dragon Song doesn't count): A full, grounds-up remake of the original Lunar the Silver Star is heading to PSP this fall... in Japan, at least.
Revealed via early release of this week's Famitsu magazine, "LUNAR: Harmony of Silver Star" for PSP aims to keep the feel of the 1992 Sega CD original and 1996 Saturn/PSone remakes, but completely revamps the graphics and interface to bring them in line with 21st century standards. The view is now isometric, with lush hand-drawn backgrounds and characters. Publisher Gungho promises new events, remastered music, and an expanded backstory.
Best of all, perhaps, the PSP Lunar remake isn't outsourced: Famitsu identifies the developer as Game Arts themselves. Expect a trailer and screenshots when the official site, to be located at http://www.gunghoworks.jp/game/lunar/, goes live this Friday.
LUNAR: Harmony of Silver Star
1. Game Arts is still alive? YESH!!!!!!
2. PSP? Crap!
3. I must have it
!!! (Mega has finished the Sega CD and PS1 edition of this game and yes, played the GBA edition)
4. Lunar rocks. Nuff said.
5. Best. Soundtrack. Ever.
6. The Artwork still rocks.
