and for the love of god, can they release Vectorman already?!?!

Actraiser did get a spirtual sequel in Soul Blazer. Now they should have kept what made the game great which was the sum of it's part and not the platformer part itself.

I wouldnt really consider Soul Blazer as a spiritual successor to Actraiser. It did share some elements (saving the world's citizens, playing as a messanger of a god-like deity, etc), but overall the games were a completely different beast (god sim/platformer vs. top down action rpg).

However, i do agree that what's really necessary is for the original formula (albeit a much more advanced reiteration) to be revisted with todays standards. Seperating the two gameplay elements was by far the biggest mistake made in the series.   

[QUOTE="GaZZuM"][QUOTE="Mr_Doodle"]Hey, a site update isn't the worst thing to wait for. Wait until we get within 3 weeks of the release of the game. That'd be horrendous for many. Hopefully, nobody pulls a Cartman and tries to freeze themselves. Lucky for me, I have patience. In the meantime, I'll look at that platypus again. [QUOTE="spazmaticmof0"]
