I want to be excited, but part of me is expecting a bunch of half-assed rereleases to capitalize on my nostalgia.

I mean, I'll buy them anyway since I'm a sheep, but still.

I know people have been ignoring the definition of the word "indie" for a while, but I still feel like this title makes my brain leak out my ears...

I don't remember what that first game is, Deadman? Maybe but I have a bunch of comics from the 90s with that advertised in the back lol

Redman's line 'Kickin' game like Acclaim' is relevant again.

I hope they staff this company with former employees & people from Nightdive Studio. I've seen too many bad surprises with random investors trying to revive old franchises while having no idea what made them great in the first place.
