Earlier this week, we were announcing the development of NiGHTS: Into Dreams on the Playstation 2. Today, Sega sends us some not really convincing new images of this 1996 remake. The japanese release date is set for February 21, 2008. The european release date has not been announced yet.
Loakum @Driftwood Awesome! I’m loving it! It does show a much crisper picture and the frame rate looks good! I was playing Stella Blade and Dragonball Soarkling Blast! :) (2 Days ago)

Its just many of the gaming-defining games that the Playstation-crowd never saw, tried or even heard of. How about an analog stick for starters, superb innovation in gameplay and bosses, pioneering 3d work and pushing the Saturn beyond what was thought possible and more. Oh yes, you had a still rendered background and a zombie, I forgot.
I never played Nights personally, but if it was so good, why did it not have sequels ?

Anyway, this looks like a minimal effort remake here. Models and textures could be touched up more, but it would be even better if this was released on 360/PS3. Ps2 on any HDTV doesn't look good at all. Might as well play on the good old Saturn.
That's how good Nights was/is :)
And besides, the best games are stand-alone.
by your logic Madden , Fifa and NHL games are the best games in existence huh?
@ topic )
this game + Panzer Dragon Saga were absolutely superb on the Saturn and made me love that huge black box
Character models and geometry looks much smoother, and the textures look better also.
I just hope the the 3D pad controls translate well to the PS2.
And by original appeal I mean remaining faithful to the exact look of the original. For nostalgia I find that more important than upgrading visuals. For that sort of thing, there's Journey of Dreams.
It's also exciting to see both that the saturn original is in here, and that there are some custom menus that seem to indicate Christmas Nights like features. Oh and just generally, the PS2 analogues should easily mimic the floatyness of the saturn pad best.
I'm satisfied - and excited that there seems to be a general attemt to revigorate the PS2 (as if it was ever really dying :O), because I reckon that generation has enough potential and qualities to warrant sticking around. That way we'll get to play more than just three games per year in the future aswell.
With this and Yakuza 2 on the way it's probably the best (bordering on only) place to enjoy good Sega games too. :P
