Beneath a Steel Skyis one of the greatest adventure games ever made.Watchmenis likely the greatest graphic novel ever made.Watchmenwas remade with the blessing of Dave Gibbons, the artist who drew the comic. Now,Beneath a Steel Skyis being remade and the new art is being contributed by Dave Gibbons. Coincidence? You be the judge. Regardless, this is f–king awesome.
Right now, Revolution Mobileplansto have the game available for iPhone this fall and is expected to retail for a measly two to three dollars. With luck, it will make its way to other platforms (pleasepleasepleasepleasepleaseplease). The original game is available for free onGoG.comand was released for free by Revolution Studios in 2003 for use with the SCUMMVM emulator.
In addition to the remake, Revolution Software is open to the idea of a sequel. Talking withEurogamer, Revolution’s managing director and creator of the originalBaSScommented that sales ofBaSS Remasteredcould sway the studio into developing a new installment.
Yes, you can jailbreak your phone and play the game for free. But if you like the game and like the kind of games we make, then pay us a little bit of money and, if it’s a big enough success, we can reinvest the funds. We can start to look at a potential BASS sequel.
You hear that? Go buy it. Don’t jailbreak your phone and pirate it. Buy the thing. I don’t even own an iPhone or iPod of any sort and I’m going to buy it. The possibility of a sequel is just too alluring and far, far worse games have had a string of sequels follow it.
