Rumour: Sega Is Working On Skies of Arcadia Remake

I still have my GameCube copy but it is definitely a welcome addition to the digital store if the rumour is confirmed...

Never played the original. Sounds fun, though.

I'd be okay with either an HD remake or a quality made sequel!!!

... ;__;

I just had a sad realization,
if SoA is a HD remake, Legends will be paid DLC
if SoA is a sequel, it'll be episodic DLC: Episode I, Episode II...

No longer want.

It's most likely a renewal, but a HD Port was hinted at, so that should happen soon...

What a great RPG, this is the best news to wake up to. I hope its not only an HD remake for Wii U, but a port to the 3DS as well.

I'd like an HD remake followed by a sequel

Skies of Arcadia 2 would be awesome! I loved the GameCube version back in the day. It's battle system by today's standards would benefit greatly from an overhaul.

Finally i can be able to play this rare piece of art!

or they could have renewed it for smash bros?

I have never played this one, though I had seen it about back in the day. Judging from the comments, I may need to track this one down at some point. This will most likely be a remake considering Sega's new position in the industry for now, But a sequel would be nice if they want to risk it. I would most certainly pick it up if they did. As for Smash Bros. 4... probably not.

sega talked about bringing their xbox, PS3 online games on the wii U eshop just recently, i just wonder whether this is going to be one of them.

but yes, skies of arcadia was amazing and a remake for the wii U would be great.

Already heard about this, but once again, excellent read! Hope it comes to PSN, or maybe, dare I say, Wii U.

Sounds like a bit of a longshot for the renewel to mean a new game is coming, but I've heard good about this series.
I've never played it before myself, and it's way overpriced to find it on ebay for GC from what I saw.

This would be great game to remake! Come on Sega do it!

I can only hope so, the game goes for over $40 on eBay. Just update the graphics, speed up the battle system, and add some voice acting, and you're golden. Just don't mess with awesome music.

Loved this game

Yes Sega bring back Skies of Arcadia, I want a sequel for this amazing RPG.

Can Sega afford to remake this game? I would love to see it however I got the salt ready!

I'm guessing HD rerelease on PSN/XBLA, much in the vein of Sonic Adventure, Crazy Taxi, Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS, etc.

Would love a HD remake. Then hope it sells millions to warrant a full sequel. I can not stress what a masterpiece this jrpg is. If a remake is in the works, every person must buy this game.

I've always wanted to play this, hopefully we get a HD remake or sequel on Wii U.

Eh. I played the original on the Dreamcast, but i never really could get into it. Still, this is kinda cool for people who did like the original.

Seeing as how you guys are the one saying there could be a remake, it's not really a rumor. The rumor starts with you.

That said, it's probably not even that. I'd be willing to bet it's simply a routine updating of property trademarks.

I loved this RPG! The environment and world in which you were in the clouds was awesome, as it appealed to the "final fantasy 'airship' " in me. Voice acting would be nice possibly, but as said earlier, the battle speed could be upped by a small amount.

I loved how it wasn't just land battles, but you also had to have ship battles as well! And this game rewards exploration!

I played it but I didn't really get that much excitement to it. I got a little way into it and thought I hadn't seen anything that I haven't seen in just about any other tbrpg.

I found SoA to be rather bland tbqh. Though it's nice to see that some companies seem to still occasionally care about their fans.

Still have my Dreamcast copy, never got the GameCube one. This could be interesting!

Skies of Arcadia is one of my favorite games of all time. I would sell both kidneys to play a sequel

Well they are including a course based off the game in Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed, so maybe they're trying to build up interest again? Either that or this is simply a coincidence and Sega is trying to keep their IP close. If there were any HD re-released I'd imagine it would be on Xbox Live and PSN, probably not Wii U, as that seems to be the way of things. Would have been nice to see Sonic CD re-release on a Nintendo system.

omg i love this game i want a sequel now

THIS WOULD BE AWESOME!!!!!

Please be a downloadable HD remake of Gamecube version, please!! The name we're all looking for is "Skies of Arcadia Legends HD", right? Thinking about the wii Gamepad though, and the VMU mini games from the DC version, it would be cool for them to include those on the Gamepad, maybe updated versions. Could they also include 1st-person "look" and "jump" even though you don't need it. Just feels better.

Awww Yeeeaaahhh!!!

Excellent, I hope it's true. Any excuse to replay one of my favorites will do.

This is literally one of my favorite games of all time. It really does suck that not many people got to check this one out but it getting a HD/3D port, a remake, or a flat out sequel for a larger audience will be a nice way to get a DC classic in more peoples hands.

Oh man! This is one of my favorite games of all time! The news of a possible remake is almost as exciting as the last time they did a remake of this game! Oh... wait.... yeah, they already did that. Damnit, Sega, hurry up and make a sequel already. But do many years ago and make it for Dreamcast because back then I was still a loyal fan of anything you did. Thanks, Sega!

OMG

Haven't played this one before. So i wouldn't mind a remake. _{Or a VC release.}

One of the best RPGS I've ever played, right up there with Grandia. Took me 75 hours to play through on the Dreamcast and I enjoyed every moment of it.

I'd love a sequel but I'm pretty sure it'll just be a remake, or made available on the Nintendo E-Shop. Last I heard, it was being ported to XBLA and PSN along with Shenmue and Jet Set Radio.

I knew there was one more GC game I didn't beat... runs to add to Gamefly Q

Hot Dog! Oh Boy! Please Please Please! Hee Hee! If they would bring the game to 3DS this would be a great thing!

I don't see why Sega wouldn't make a remake. Since they're bringing back old title, popular and unheard of, it shouldn't be too hard to expect it. I just hope they don't kill the game like they did Final Fantasy 13/13-2

Look the game was great but honestly it felt a little bare.

Yes they had typical RPG jokes, and many actions in the game. Lets not forget the battle on the tram, to the upside down city in the sky, the Capital city, or even the electric commander.

But that is just the thing. It was something made for children ( so they could feel mature ), and had some typical anime moments.

The biggest issue I had with the game, was how it also proved why SEGA never released an real "Phantasy Star" for the game at all. Which was divided between "Burning Rangers" and "Panzer Dragon RPG". This game being so cartoony and crazy obviously belongs next to "Monster Rancher" as many of these "HotCake RPGS" were.

Why am I upset? The final boss, which was just an

Also the GCN is not really so collectable because they censored out the breasts of one of the commanders from my understanding, in the western releases. While you do have extras in the game. SOA the Dreamcast proves you can install DLC for the game you found in the GCN game.

Yes I did have fun with that game; but once I realize the enemies seem repetitive. The final boss was kinda bare. Their are far more funner comics about Skies then their is game-play.

I would love a Sequel, but I believe that the Skies of Arcadia Legacy should just remain for what it is, a treasured and loved stand alone game, the worst would be a sequel that pales in comparison, and then fans wishing it had never been made.

However, an HD Remake that updates the visuals and don't change anything gameplay and story wise would be absolutely welcomed in my book!
