Dementium Remastered Targets a February Release in Europe and Australia, Dementium II Remastered Nears Completion

dementium is a fun game. im looking forward to playing II on my 3ds. hopefully it sells well.

I got the first one on day one. I can´t recommend them enough no matter what the critics say

Love the first one on 3ds, I'll grab the second one

They should have waited to see what the sales would be like for the remaster of Dementium 1 before investing the resources in a second remaster.

I used some Christmas money to get Dementium Remastered but haven't started it yet. If it's what I expect I'll get the second one when it arrives.

Pretty hyped for II. It's not a great game, but in opening the world to include outdoor environments that actually involve exploration, Dementium II really elevated the impact of it's take on the Silent Hill nightmare formula. Due to the hardware limitations, it also provokes a lot of nostalgia for mid-90s FPS. I mean that in the best possible terms.

You could make a case that the original is a more cohesive game with it's oppressive atmosphere and design, but whatever Dementium II loses in its scattered approach it more than makes up for in its ambition. To that end, it's just a far more interesting and enjoyable game.

@Ralizah No No NO. The thought that Dementium II, which was less popular and more rare would get ignored because people didn't want to buy the vastly inferior and somewhat poorly designed original is unthinkable. Dementium II is the best thing Renegade Kid has done by a wide margin and they may never get funding for that sort of project again.

Compared to Moon Chronicles and the original, II is vital to Renegade Kid's legacy. They would he doing themselves a great disservice to let it become lost to history.

I personally think that the two Dementium games are great. They also came at a time when horror games on consoles weren't really in vogue, and a years before the wave of first-person indie horrors would really kick off. And to do it on the DS was seriously impressive. I look forward to going through these again.

Sweet. Gonna give it a go.

NICE! Moon Chronicles PAL release next please.

Very pleased about this! but we need Moon Chronicles too please!

Renegade Kid needs to set a release schedule and either stick to it, or announce when they won't meet their deadlines. Where is Treasurenauts? Mutant Mudds Super Challenge? Mutant Mudds 2?

I don't remember Dementium 2 being announced. This is awesome news. I actually sold my physical copies a few months ago and they will more than pay for these remasters. Hopefully Dementium 2 does a lot better and we can hear a Dementium 3 announcement soon.

@ACK It's unthinkable that people would ignore the second remaster when they largely ignored the first? Especially taking into account that the original second game was ignored in comparison to the first? Seems like a reasonable expectation to me.

If something sells poorly enough that you take to the internet to complain about it, you don't then funnel more money into a similar project that is even less likely to be successful. For instance, we never got the second or third Retro Game Challenge in the U.S. because the first one bombed when it was localized. Of course, not getting the subsequent games doesn't make me happy, but Xseed was right to not funnel more money into localization projects that were only going to lose them money.

I'll buy it day one like I do with all RK releases, but honestly it's bound to sell a whole lot better if it's not released at such a high price point.

Loved the first but never played 2. I think ill get it and try it!

I hope both games gets support.

I'm going to snag both at once. Wish I grabbed 1 sooner! Either way I want to support Renegade any way I can. I really hope it all sells well for them!

Excellent. 2 is my fav handheld FPS ever. Can't wait to play it again. Still need to beat 1. I don't like it as much as 2 since the darkness overwhelms so much and you can't shoot or hit anything unless they're close enough to hurt you too. Then again, that's probably what they went for. Lol.

If Dementium is finally coming, then where in the world is Moon Chronicles? Jools promised a release for that in Europe already a year ago when the game was finished in North American eShop.

Nlife, please get Jools' comments on this because Dementium doesn't really interest me at all. Moon Chronicles is way more interesting game. Does this ratings system mean that Mutant Mudds Deluxe will finally see the light of the day in Europe for Wii U?

Also if the ratings system is really unified and easier now in Europe, then get Tyrone Rodriguez on the line and tell him to submit and release all his loads of unreleased Nicalis games in Europe now damnit. Ikachan, Cave Story 3D etc.

And Jools complains about sales in March.

I got Dementium Remastered last Friday, and I've enjoyed it so far. The enemy sounds can be pretty annoying though.

The only way I'm getting this is if it's priced right, but it won't be. I was so excited for this game (and Moon Chronicles) for ages... but, you can't hide from bad reviews... this game has a 3.6/10 user score on metacritic. Yes I know that doesn't mean much but... it's hard to get hype for the game.

@The__Goomba lol, so true.

Can't wait for 2....that said, Cult County, anyone??

Pumped that Jools is getting on board with Europe once more! However, I find myself not easily scared by horrow games, probably because I have pretty delayed reactions :/ That said, I'll support this if it means I get to play Moon Chronicles eventually!

I'm probably going to try this, I wanted to play it years ago on DS, but I could never get my hands on a copy. This time around, that issue should be long gone as I suspect I can even download it from the eShop.

@JedRock 95% sure that game is cancelled and not going to be seeing the light of day anytime soon. Should have remained 3DS exclusive instead of trying to go multiplat, and then they dropped the 3DS altogether during that failed kickstarter.

They tried riding the hype train of Mighty No. 9, and it failed. Wayforward tried the same, and barely succeeded in their kickstarter.

Edit: Just reread news stories about it. Even though they say it is being worked on, I still don't see it being released anytime in this console generation.

I'd somehow been of the idea that Dementium Remastered contained both the first and second game.

In any case, for the people that did get this edition of the first game, it's good to see the sequel coming out, and these days it's probably a good idea to release worldwide on the same day.

Same engine used twice means cost of engine per game is halved.
Reused assets means cost of assets per game is cut, but mot quite to the extent of halving.
Nintendo Life occasionally puts the cursor on the comment box before the (at) symbol.

That is all. @Ralizah
