| Here's one out of left field: Secret of Mana, also known as Seiken Densetsu 2, is suddenly getting a PlayStation 4, Vita, and Steam remake. It's going to redo the original game using rendered 3D objects, add in voiceover in (at least) Japanese and English, a re-arranged new recording of the musical score, and more. The game will be released worldwide this coming February 15. As usual, Square Enix are doing some unique preorder bonuses; preorders on the PlayStation store will include two sets of skins for Randi, Primm, and Popoi as well as a set of PSN avatars. On Steam, orders made between now and the end of the first week of release will get the costumes and a desktop wallpaper image. In Japan, a collector's edition will be available that will include the game, a pop-up art book, a music CD, and figurines of the main characters; orders from Amazon Japan will include a copy of the original 1993 instruction manual. No word yet on whether either of those two options will be available in the West. At the time of writing, the http://www.secretofmanagame.com/ now. See below for a minute-long trailer showing some of the 3D modeling and a snippet of the English voice work! Source: Gematsu |

Allow me to make the first real post here  .Can't say I particularly care about the 3D modeling. Much more intrigued by the reworked soundtrack, the updated gameplay system, and the "new content" (whatever it is, I hope it's worth that $40). All that said, call me tempted! |

| The original soundtrack did have a weirdly-overbalanced percussion so hopefully this fixes that problem. In any case, didn't I very recently mention that Secret of Mana hasn't been remade yet? Maybe I should mention more not-yet-remade games. |

Quote (Glenn Magus Harvey @ 27th August 2017 00:13) The original soundtrack did have a weirdly-overbalanced percussion so hopefully this fixes that problem. Kick drums with a very low ms delay setting, like 50-80 or something if I remember correctly. It was kind of weird in percussion, featuring stuff that would require double- and triple-kick pedals in real life. All told I am stoked as all get out. This is one of my very favorite games in history and I must play it, get out of my way I have money here in my hands. |

I'm not sure if it's what you're talking about (were you talking about the bass drum?), but I was talking about the weirdly loud snare drum. |

| I didn't get to play much of this game the first time I encountered it (a friend had it and wouldn't lend it out, so I only watched her play sometimes) so I'm looking forward to getting this and actually playing it. |

| Quote I'm not sure if it's what you're talking about (were you talking about the bass drum?), but I was talking about the weirdly loud snare drum. You know it is weirdly loud, and I don't disagree. The drum mix was very aggressive, altogether. Really, there oughtn't be that much kick, it just sounds too aggro to me. I prefer the sound of what a natural drummer is likely to be able to do...but to each their own. I understand my preference isn't what's popular.

Dickish of your friend for not plugging in a second controller if it was available. |
