Wow, Looks pretty kick ass.

I hope it controls nothing like Lair...

the beasts were the best part! I hope there's sixaxis support for bouncing on the chicken monsters...

if this is still a single player game then it fails.

Oh man, I thought it was art. Totally looks painted from afar.

Alright! nothing better than whacking the hell out of gnomes with napsacks...in 3D!

This could be SEGA's best since Panzer Dragoon Orta if they pull it off. =)

I thought this was a racing game based on the screen shot.

@gadgetron: Maybe not suck at all,if Sega can make a +20 hours campaign,with non-linear paths,but I maybe dreaming.

@wallapuctus: Somehow that reminds me that "Death Adder" should have been an educational Golden Axe spinoff. Like number cruncher.

If thats an in game screen you can color me happy.

Oh sweet I love riding beasts.... wait that came out wrong.

The monster that the girl is riding is creepy. It just stares at you like...

"You know you like this screenshot, bitch."

Maybe if these beast models work out, SEGA will reuse them in an Altered Beast game as well.

Suh-weet. As said before, if that's in game, it's looking mighty fine.

@gadgetron:

Golden Axe is a single player game.

Tacking on generic online capabilities at the expense single player experience is just stupid.

Go play Halo.

The picture reminds me a lot of Monster Hunter, which is a very, very good thing.

@Tuxy79:
I've never played Golden Axe single player.

@StartingAces: Then Death Adder Jr. is for kindergarteners right?

Oh, great. So after fucking Sonic games for years now Sega is going to move on and fuck up another one of my favorites from when Sega didn't suck?

@Tuxy79: Yeah, I think he meant the Final Fight style (really GA predates final fight, so perhaps it should be the style defining game?) 2 player where it was still the same SP campaign but another player could also play at the same time (and steal all your damn magic potion!).

A giant bird I can ride? I'm buying it.

@Witzbold:
The jaggyness and quality of the bumpmaps and texturework in general make it seem like an ingame-shot. [www.secretlevel.com]
Either that, or it's a really good bullshot / target render.

oh, and a little offtopic... did you get to try Disgaea 3 yet? ;)

@Tuxy79: Golden Axe has always been about the multiplayer. I think you're thinking of a different game.

Wait... that's a game screenshot, not some sort of in-game movie?

Looks nice. I always liked Golden Axe. The only thing that angers me is that it's a game I've played before... yes it was cool, but why can't we do something new and unique?

I know, old complaint, but it's still there.

eagerly awaiting a cameo of sonic getting ridden.

The description secret level gives the game is funny ''As the unstoppable Tyris Flare''. So literally unstoppable? Wow that's an easy game =D

[www.secretlevel.com] umm guys take a look at some of the other screen shots. they umm... well their not very good in my opinion.

The pictures blew my socks off.

Yay for dragon-thignie?

[images.theglobeandmail.com]

Looks like it might be... okay. Not so sure yet.

Needs a PC port.

It looks great. Bonus points if it still lets you beat up midgets for magic!

Cant wait!
Me and my friends have spent a shitload of hours playing the coop mode back then on ZX Spectrum.

kinda bummed its looks 1 player oO

Looks like Heavenly Sword meets Lair in style from the screens. Here is hoping it's controls and content vastly outweigh 'dem turds.

That Tyris Flair chick or whatever her name is needs to be in this game. Her and Blaze need to star in their own game...or animated movie...

does the female bikini armor still gets a +10 defensive bonus against rape?

I wonder if they'll put in the ol' "Sega says: Say no to drugs!" title screen at the beginning. I remember that from back in the arcade days (RIP). I've always liked GAxe, but I found the capcom D&D (Shadows of Mystara) games back then to have a deeper gameplay, a lot more combat and magic options than just hording your potions for the "more powerful spell". Also, multiplayer in Golden axe was fun, but didn't really effect the gameplay as much as the D&D games did. But still, it looks pretty impressive if that is (really) a gameplay shot.

@Deadeyereborn: ...Ouch. O_O

@Yeux de nouilles: Your picture had me quite fooled for a second.

Original Golden Axe ftw. :D

@Furious_Liver: The shot shown here looks really cool but then you look at some of the others and you get a sinking feeling kinda sad really.

@Xamot: I think that would be a -10 defense penalty towards rape.

Wha? When did Sega buy Secret Level????

Hi there next-gen Golden Axe, you look like oodles of fun, please don't fail, kthxbye.

Golden Axe! That brings back some good memory. I think we need more co op games nowadays~!

:O Wow, Sega.

Secret Level's two games both failed.

This is a bad omen for both Iron Man and Golden Axe.

@Ashurahori:
Uh-oh, Spaghetti-O!!

@Ashurahori:

Indeed. On the plus, both their upcoming games look good...well, here's hoping.

Unfortunately anything out of Sega (minus AM2 and third parties like Monolith) is just plain bad. Perhaps this external studio will deliver something nice for Sega because they've pretty much lost the ability to deliver quality internally.

I've seen most of these screens before I believe, but theu look quite good.

The thing that i'm not as stoked on, is how muddy all the colors are looking. I loved the original Tyris Flare from E3'06, but I suppose her former colors didn't match the Tyris Flare name quite as much.

The game needs more color. Everything looks brown and red. i hope they fix this and add more color varitety, but as it is, its looking pretty snazzy.

I hope this is good, i've been waiting for a Golden Axe update for years.

I never played the original. Maybe I should get it on VC. So someone nice on here, hip me to Golden Axe....please? lol

Mostly, I judge a team by their previous experience of games. If they've made good games, then I like.

Of course, every team has exceptions. Lair was made by one of the best flyer game designers in the world. It sucked dragon balls. Sonic Rivals' designers made Death Jr, one of the most lackluster games on the PSP. Rivals still turned out to be quite good.

There are always exceptions. Let's hope this is one of them.

And Sega, deliver quality internally? Don't mistake Sonic Team alone for Sega. They're still quite capable.

@Deadeyereborn: I think that would be a -10 defense penalty towards rape.

no, you're thinking of the KY Jelly Armor Suit

If this plays anything like "Spartan: Total Warrior", im game.

mmm... 'supple and rounded'
