I think the N64 and PS2 versions of the first had quite some fans. Not me, though.

 

[DarienA]

A sequel to Winback? Coooool.

 

[DMczaf]

Winback 2? WTF

FT is having a great week!

 

[Ignatz Mouse]

I liked the game. A puzzly MGS-ish game


That said, my wife's comment when watching me play it:

"What is this place, a box factory?"

 

[Future Trunks]

Winback 2? WTF

FT is having a great week!

**Gets naked and runs around happily**


.....What do you mean "It's only on PS2?"


**Puts clothes back on and cries**

 

[Defensor]

WOO!
This news just made my day!

Yeah that's true... it was fun... though hitting moving characters could be... interesting at times.

 

[Kabuki Waq]

AWESOME! I thought i would never see the day.

I cant wait for this game, the multiplayer in the first game was great!

 

[Ninja Scooter]

a little late, but damn, winback was fun. I'll have to check this out.

 

[FortNinety]

Next, how about Destrega 2?

 

[SA-X]

Whoa this just came out of nowhere. I really enjoyed the first one on N64, can't wait.

 

[Drakken]

The playstation.com listing says the release date is 2/2005. Could it really be coming out this month? That seems a bit soon, since I haven't heard anything about a new Winback game until now.

 

[Guns N' Poops]

Na, won't happen. But Koei releases games pretty soon after announcements, so it should be out in the USA in few months.

 

[Late Stage Marxist]

I remember the N64 game being pretty decent. I look forward to playing this.

 

[VariableTerry]

......wow.

This was totally unexpected. This better be true. I played the first one entirely too much. It was fun trying to get the best scores I could on each level. Multiplayer was a blast to. Of course certain characters had to be banned.

I will have to get this.

 

[norinrad21]

I've always considered Winback an MGS killer, gameplay wise.

They should definitely work on the story this time around

 

[Lyte Edge]

I've always considered Winback to be nothing like MGS, since it's not a stealth game.

Loved the first Winback on both N64 and PS2, and the multiplayer mode ROCKED. Can't wait for this.

 

[alejob]

Hey what was the name of that guy at NintendoNext that loooooved winback? The one that turned FT in to a winback fan.

 

[way more]

PS2? No 4-player, no sale.

 

[Defensor]

Umm, the PS2 version of Winback had 4 player support via multitap.

 

[human5892]

I never played the PS2 version -- was it just a bumped-up N64 port?

 

[Ninja Scooter]

pretty much. Not much difference other than slightly smoother visuals, a better framerate, and voice acting IIRC.

 

[Baron Aloha]

Wow, talk about unexpected.

*adds Winback 2 to the list of games to buy*

That was Kebo. I'm also a fan too.

 

[DrGAKMAN]

There should be like a NN reunion or something...heh!

Anyways, anyone else think that the aiming system in RE4 is alot like Winback? I hope Koei makes a Winback for GCN too though, I loved the first one. Come to think of it, Leon looks alot like Jean-Luke too...hmmm...
