[h=1]Capcom Surprises With New Strider Game[/h]

Just announced at San Diego Comic-Con, Capcom has revealed a new Strider game. The game will be developed by Double Helix (Killer Instinct) for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PS3, X360, and Steam on PC.
This version of Strider will be 2.5D, similar to Shadow Complex. It's a side-scrolling action adventure with 3D graphics and non-linear gameplay, or what people like to call it, "Metroidvania." It will feature a world map that will be accessible as players find new skills.

In a gameplay video shown at Comic-Con, Strider Hiryu will be able to upgrade his Cypher plasma sword with new skills, including an ability to set his enemies on fire using sword attacks and reflecting enemy bullets back.

This is the story for the new Strider, according to the press release.

The year is Meio: 048, on an alternate dystopian future of Earth. The whole planet suffers under the oppressive, iron-fisted rule of the mysterious and omnipotent Grand Master Meio. An expert in sabotage and assassination, Hiryu is the youngest ever recruit to attain a Special A-Class in the hellish Strider training program, and is the only man capable of achieving the mission to eliminate Grand Master Meio.

​

Double Helix will be in collaboration with the original Strider developers from Capcom's Osaka offices to bring the franchise back into the gaming world. The developer ensures an "ultra-responsive control system, with incredibly satisfying combat options in every traversal context—standing, running, wall climbing, hanging, aerial and more."


Strider is set to arrive digitally in early 2014.

The development studio "Double Helix" is nowhere capable to deliver a proper Strider game. Not really getting hyped for it.

- open world
- unavoidable damage tanking? (as shown in the video)

OK open-world isn't necessarily a negative point but I am not sure how much compatible it is with strider. Damage tanking isn't a good sign.

The graphics look pretty good though and certainly seems like they captured the atmosphere of strider quite well. But maybe they should have just re-made strider 2 with these graphics. That would be excellent.
