He is reluctant to lay much blame at the feet of Netter Digital, even though Geist Force represented Netter's first stab at moving from narrative to interactive media. Who knows, maybe Netter's stunning visual effects had done so much to quell early doubts about the Dreamcast console that Sega felt it had already gotten its money's worth out of the project without ever actually having to release the game.
Sega has a shooter as one of its first Dreamcast games, thereby securing the interest of fans of games like R-Type and G-Darius. Geist formerly Geist Force is detail-oriented: For example, the force of explosions blasting from your turrets will damage your ship. There's also apparently some sort of relationship story line: Depending on how you interact with people, you'll be presented with a variety of scenarios and endings.
If these early screens are a good indication, Geist is right for the Dreamcast. Browse games Game Portals. This game has already been talked about here in the 'Yard from time to time, usually when the theme is unreleased games, and the last post about it, dating back to last year, is actually about the blessed day when the guys over at assemblergames got their hands on a playable version of the game and promised to release it for free.
Time moved on and the game never got released, ending up forgotten by most people, but lo and behold, it finally resurfaced and in better shape then ever! It looks like the game was developed for Dreamcast hardware that wasn't final yet, so it couldn't actually run off the retail hardware we all have. That's why it took so long to come out, as the guys behind this release actually had to change a lot of the code in order for the game to be playable.
Now, from what I understand, it seems that in order to pay for their hard work, and the beautiful reproduction discs that we see in the video, you actually had to pay for one of these, and they made a somewhat limited run, making it extra hard to get.
But I really hope that they, or someone out there, end up releasing the game for free, so that all of us Dreamcast fans can enjoy another piece of gaming history. Email This BlogThis! Post 4 » Mon Sep 27, pm. Post 5 » Mon Sep 27, pm. Post 6 » Mon Sep 27, pm. Post 7 » Tue Sep 28, am.
