I did not expect a Metroidvania reboot of an early 80s Atari 2600 game.
It isn't. It's a rebooted prequel to the 2004 reboot of an 80s Atari 2600 game.
@@trise2033Yes, because that is totally less convoluted lol
Whoa this is heavy.
I said the same thing about Blaster Master when the Zero trilogy was released.
A surprise, to be sure, but a welcome one.
…Wasn’t this game originally about alien flies?
Well, it is now about anime thighs
It was. My question is what could have they done with that? It was a 2600 game made in the late 80's. I'm hoping that if this does well, they try to take from the original story a bit.
@@ripcase1990If you can't make a "Yar's Revenge" game that actually has anything to do with Yar's Revenge, then just don't call it that in the first place.
@@legtendgav556 That's what you get with the help of the creators of Shantae and River City Girls.
Nice rhyme tho.
@@legtendgav556Masterful play on words. 👏🏻😁
Atari's now considered indie, damn.
How the mighty have fallen.
They certainly aren't as big as they were before, but I'd say this title is considered indie mostly because of its developers (WayForward).
Like Nintendo. Remember Cadence of Hyrule? And Advance Wars?
It all came full circle, since Atari technically started off as indie
@eddmario Yeah, I suppose.
0:10 nice tribute to Nolan bushnell (the founder of atari)
note: for those who hasn't spotted it yet, there's the name "nolan" on the top of one of the buildings located on the top left corner of this video
Nicely found!
@@atari thanks. care to give my comment a like?
I like Wayforward. And I like Atari.
But, hm, I don't know...Something about the gameplay looks...unpolished...
So... here's what I know, based on my knowledge of Yars Revenge:
Yar is an alien fly. (..or supposed to be, because Atari graphics.) The enemy is referred to as the Qotile, which looks like the shape on Yar's shirt in this trailer. The goal of the original game, such as it is, is to fly to the right, dodge the floating probe dot and the Qotile's attack, break apart the Qotile's shield, and launch the Zorlon Cannon (which you get from making it to the right side of the screen) into the Qotile. Rinse and repeat. (Also, there's a safe zone, but that's not too important.)
So, how they're going to turn a single-screen game into a Metroidvania experience starring an anime girl taking down QoTech is going to be interesting.
Well, let's compare your game description to the trailer:
"Yar is an alien fly." Emi seems to grow wings at one point; and then there's the figure behind her in the title card (her full transformation, perhaps?)
"The enemy is referred to as the Qotile," The bad guys are from QoTech
"dodge the floating probe dot" Stealth seems to be a part of the gameplay.
"break apart the Qotile's shield" We see her dismantling (absorbing?) some kind of barrier at one point.
"launch the Zorlon Cannon" Back to the part where she grows wings, she looks ready to Kamehameha something.
"Also, there's a safe zone," At one point, she's hiding from a guard robot in a shadowy area.
So far, it looks like they're doing their homework on this.
Let me clarify. WayForward is creating a reboot of the first video game I ever played and cherished on my Atari 2600, even though all my friends already own an 8-bit NES. Can you promise to never cease being awesome?
Casual clothes anime girl in a sci-fi setting is something I am here for. Love me some wayforward Metroidvanias.
Way Forward knows what it's doing when it comes to protagonists.
When I think of female protagonists done right especially from a western developer these are the folks I go to.
A Yars’ Revenge Metroidvania by WayForward? Wasn’t expecting that
*Metroid-like, not Metroidvania. Castlevania, at it’s roots, is NOT like Metroid.
@@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcon Hence why the term was coined to refer to those later Castlevania games that resembled Super Metroid. It's a very well established genre name, you don't get any points for etymological puritanism...
@@jgodden8022 Castlevania turned INTO a Metroid-like, not help create the genre, therefore the “vania” part of “Metroidvania” shouldn’t exist. Castlevania gave up it’s identity when SotN released. Let’s not pretend like it did anything nearly as good as the game series it was trying to rip-off.
@@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcontry looking up metroidvania it's a real genre of games and that's what this is.
@@Raidraptor_-_Ultimate_Falcon
Uhh... no? First of all, Symphony of the Night isn't even the first Metroidvania Castlevania game, Simon's Quest is (while it's not as conventional of a Metroidvania as later games, it shares most of the common traits people associate with Metroidvanias, such as an open world full of collectables needed to unlock new areas, a leveling system, etc.). That game released in 1987, a year after the original Metroid. While Symphony of the Night didn't invent the genre, it, alongside Super Metroid, were what popularized the genre and established its traditional conventions.
On another note, by your logic, Metroid shouldn't be a part of the genre's name, considering Metroid didn't invent it either (there was already several games, such as 1984's Brain Breaker and 1985's Dragon Slayer II, that used the gameplay of Metroidvanias, Metroid is just the oldest series with said gameplay to get popular). Calling the Metroidvania Castlevania games a rip-off of Metroid is also wrong, since the developers have openly stated that the games took inspiration from Zelda II, not Metroid.
Also, "Let’s not pretend like it did anything nearly as good as the game series it was trying to rip-off." Yeah, let's totally act like Symphony of the Night isn't considered by an extremely large amount of people to be one of the greatest video games of all time.
A new Metroidvania by Wayforward with anime aesthetic?! Sign me in!
Are their games always so stiff looking? Or do you think it's cus it's still in development
@@VashVicious2 Their expertise is in 90's style pixelart, so it's hard to say if that's the intention or if it's still in development.
One based on my fave atari game? Take my money!
@@VashVicious2 It looks no stiffer than the Megaman games
I still have no idea what this has to do with Yars' Revenge. Looks like a completely unrelated game that Atari just slapped the Yars branding on.
yes
How about you play the game to find out.
@@joshuawebb4966no
@@joshuawebb4966 The game's going to have to do a lot of convoluted explaining to get from what we're shown here to the original game's story (which was about mutated houseflies in outer space fighting an alien planet-destroying warlord)
The year is 1000000 CE and houseflies have evolved into anime girls. There, I fixed it.
Why this is a Yar's Revenge sequel I have absolutely ZERO idea, but it's by the folks who did River City Girls and it looks fun so hey, sure! Next up, Berzerk the visual novel dating sim and the new Adventure tower defense game featuring a hot nerd with square glasses.
*Writes down ideas*
Go on, go on.
Don't forget Centipede! Where they actually make a shooter into an elven rpg, and at one point, you actually get to tame your own centipede and go head to head with others online with your centipede!
If your Centipede gets completely fungified, don't worry. There is a regeneration ray that can bring back your Centipede! (Also, a Pong paddle is one of your friends in this rpg.)
Centipede: Elven Attack comes later this YAR!
I still have yars revenge on the game boy. I never thought this series would get a reboot. Much less a metroidvania. Plz let this be good. Plz...
I remember playing Yar’s Revenge for the first time around 2004 on the Atari Plug and Play. I’m so excited for this!
it’s giving me 2007’s vibes it’s like seeing a new Game and like a movie.
I hope be some voice acting in it that be cool, can’t wait to get this game.
*WayForward* Company Remastered *Yars?* This is Super Awesome! Can't wait to play this game on the Nintendo Switch System this year!
This isn’t Yars but still looks fun.
Play Yars: Recharged for a real remake and then this one for a completely new take
I remember my now late brother buying me an Atari 2600 for my b-day when I was maybe 8-9, and we used to play Yar's Revenge for hours on end. We'd get increasingly daring trying to hit the death-pinwheel in mid-flight trying to outscore each-other. Some of my fondest memories of him growing up. Happy to see the franchise getting a love-letter in the form of this game.
I appreciate the "HSWWSH" on the building at the start.
There's also a "Nolan" in there as well. I can't imagine what other references were snuck in... I wonder what "FINEDAY" represents??
What is HSWWSH?
@@maverickhuntermeta4954 easter egg from the original game, the initials of one of the developers
I really really really want to like this idea. Bringing back an OG IP from Atari as a modern metroidvania sounds so exciting. But... man that gameplay looks slow and stiff...
It looked fine to me.
Everyone else: “I thought you were dead”?
Atari: “My death was, highly exaggerated”.
damn, mighty no.10 looking.. what you'd expect
This looks awesome, but I feel the character animations feel very stiff.
Stuff like this is why WayForward is one of my favorite indie developers ever. This looks good so far, rock on WayForward!
Do you mean why wayforward is one of my favorite.
@@joshuawebb4966 Whoops. Thanks for catching that. Fix'd
Yars' Revenge was always my absolute favorite Atari game!
highlight of the direct for me. definitely picking this one up.
It was the highlight for us too!
Her movement speed feels a little slow.
It looks like it was going to be something much different like a robot/samus-like suit but they slapped her model onto it and called it a day. It looks clunky.
@@Gamemaster64 Te game isn't out yet, so we're not really able to say they called it a day. It's coming out sometime this year, which means there's potentially still time for polish. Will be interesting to see.
@@OptimusNiaaThat is true. That could very well change, but as a first impression it doesn't bode well. First impressions are everything.
@@Gamemaster64 Yeah, it's not going to change. And even if it does I'm still not going to play it. Not with such an obnoxious protagonist.
I don't see the problem 😕
This looks great, but I'd rather get a WayForward metroidvania starring an anime girl AND a proper Yars game, with the unique mechanics that come with it and which I love.
But hey, we take what we can get. And I still have Yars Recharged to fix my Yar cravings. So bring it on!
All we need is a crystal castles visual novel and a port of Donkey Kong 3 on Atari Jaguar and the holy trinity will be complete
0:44 oh god, i love that valley girl accent 😁
for those who don't know what "valley girl accent" means:
"A valley girl is a socioeconomic, linguistic, and youth subcultural stereotype and stock character originating during the 1980s: any materialistic upper-middle-class young woman, associated with unique vocal and California dialect features, from the Los Angeles commuter communities of the San Fernando Valley" from wikipedia
I got a Coleco Gemini for my 6th birthday. It was basically a bootleg Atari 2600 made from off-the-shelf part by Coleco that could play Atari 2600 games straight up. Yars' Revenge was one of my favorite games to play.
Interesting to reboot the game in this way. Maybe the mutated houseflies "evolved" into humanoid form and they are still fighting against the Qotile empire? Only thing that makes sense to me. Maybe the "rising" is in reference to the girl getting to the next stage of her evolution of mutant fly powers? I don't know. 🤔😵💫
prob shouldn't wear a qotech shirt then.
Y cant Yars Rising crawl
PFFFFT
Can't crawl if you're rising.
I'm getting this. Looks like a Shadowrun / River City Girls / Metroid cross. Atari is really doing a good job coming back from the dead.
Sucks that you can’t wishlist it yet. At least not from the website.
Wow...a sequel to Yar's Revenge on the Atari 2600. Thats a deep cut if I've ever heard one.
We're going deeper!
I'm not sure how I feel about this.
Yikes, I hope they put some work in before it actually comes out-at the very least swap out those placeholder animations.
apparently, they rebooted yars revenger in 2011 for the xbox 360 and steam
I hope this isn't a reflection of the final product. Looks very bare bones at the moment.
That's WayForward in a nutshell. Shantae is the best example of all style no substance in gaming, people are distracted by the great art and music to the point they don't realize the gameplay and story are quite poor.
A third game in this series? I didn’t expect this at all!
I thought Atari was already long gone.
Putting that aside, A futuristic city and an Atari logo all in the same clip.
My Brain: Blade Runner?
Trailer: Yars Rising
Me: "...Uh Whaaaaat...!?"
Never played the original, recently grabbed the X360 version (and absolutely adored it), and now they are doing a revival WITH Wayforward (from which I love RCG and I'm just starting Shantae)?
Oh boy this is gonna be a trip isn't it.
Yars as platformer? Did not see that coming, but looks really good.
Seems like a natural progression. Hey, next let’s make a new Pac-Man game where you use your martial arts skills against werewolves in a submarine. And while we’re at it, let’s make the protagonist a robot angel. You see, somewhere along the way there is fruit.
And not even the same varieties of fruit from the old games, but their sprites have a faux-retro style so it's close enough!
Haha I remember Yars Revenge. Love Wayforward too. Interesting combo.
We think so too!
the Mighty No. 9 art style was a bold choice.
big oof
Reminds me of late 90s~2000s Megaman, but with actual 3D instead of pre-rendered sprites
I just played the 2011 yars revenge game and it seemed like they wanted to do more with it but were stuck with a short game. If they had a bigger budget for things like voice acting or animated cutscenes.
Magical girls into the adaption action show.
If she can chew through walls and spit fireballs, I'll buy the damn thing but until then...
Is it just me or do we have a lot of Metroid Dread parallels? If that's the case, nothing wrong with it. Though if it's a reboot of an old game, I guess it makes the other way around. Either way, so far, doesn't seem bad.
I want miku
This was really unexpected!
From Developers Of Shantae And River Girls
Cute character design
I will add it to my backlog
Fanservice incoming.
Finally, a metroidvania that isn't copying Dark Souls or Castlevania.
only Metroid Dread.
It shouldn't even be one. Yars Revenge was a space ship shooter.
@@bideobamersare you saying (shouldn't)? I think you should look over what your typing and so what if it was a space shooter before it'll be fine.
@joshuawebb4966 make a new IP if you are going to throw the source material in the garbage.
@@bideobamers BORING it's way more interesting to make this instead.
ngl i might buy this
Is this the same voice actor that in Android Cactus Assault cause it sure sounds like her.
レイモンドカサール氏が草葉の陰で泣いていそうなゲーム
いいぞもっとやれ
Just watch: the twist is going to get to Everyone.
Is that Jenny Yokobori I hear?? 😄😄😄
I loved the original Yars Revenge, but this looks sad.
The Yars love is amazing and I'm here for it!
❤
Good to see new Atari games are being released.
Ah yes, the famous Yars Revenge IP, begging for an anime metroidvania spinoff
I would absolutely love this game to succeed!
Geez, Atari REALLY doesn't know what to do with it's IPs nowadays. This doesn't look bad at all, but it has zero correlation to it's namesake.
Can't go wrong with a WayForward title.
Bakugan says hi!
idk they're pretty hit-or-miss
Look up Bakugan: Champions of Vestroia.
Contra: Operation Galuga says Hi!
Game can't come soon enough. Can't wait to see Emi in action!
Yars Rising looks really something amazing 2D Anime Platforming with a beautiful Main Character girl. I'm so excited can't wait when this will be relased in later this yar! 😮❤
Imagine what the original developers of Yar’s revenge would think of this?
Well, they did put his initials in the video. (It was a one-man production)
HSW is probably in his office waiting to play.
How great would it be if Howard is involved in this in some way? He's actually said in interviews he's been working with Atari on a Yars sequel. Is this it?
Somehow looks like Megaman, but with a cute girl instead. I like
Didn't expect to see the Yar's series become a metroidvania! And with such a change in setting too! Well, taking the other recent games in the series as reference, cus I don't think the Atari games really had much of a visual setting to begin with 😅 probably described in the manual tho, which I assume is what the next games went with. Either way I'm very curious to see how this goes!
This looks...interesting. Will remain catiously optimistic. (Also...can we get a new crystal castles?)
Wow that movement looks boring
Wait...ATARI is still alive?
Alive and kickin'
Yars now with DEI
Is this Jojos bizzare adventure? Yare Yare daze.
Give me cute outfits for her to wear and I am sold.
Metroidvania+Wayforward? I MUST HAVE IT!
Looks like Atari took one look at a pre alpha build of this game and said “DON’T CHANGE A THING.” This game looks stiff. The art is dialed in anime barf.
This should be interesting!
Reboot in name only. This is nothing like the original game. But it's a Wayforward game, that's always something I look forward to.
A modern take on Yars Revenge, but as a Metroidvania game. Pretty cool that Atari and WayForward are making this game together.
Yars! Yars! Yars! Yars!
Atari skimped on the animation budget I see. Feels weird to name drop the Shantae and River City Girls series when the game looks like Megaman 11.
Mega Man 11 looked so much better than this wdym
@@Its_PacFan specifically the walk cycle
@@ryuail I see, mb
It's fine why are you complaining about a new yar's game.
@@joshuawebb4966 because I'm betting it's more of a trademark renewal project than anything else. It looks cheap, and the voiceover has the feeling of "this is what young people like, right?" about it.
Im so happy yar is back, first it was a cameo in pixel ripped and now a brand new game. Looking forward to see if time has been cruel to her.
This is absolutely the most minimum amount related to Yar's Revenge that something can be and still be related to Yar's Revenge.
What are you talking about? Didn't you see that half-a-second clip of an underbaked hacking minigame that looks like a bargain bin version of the original and might come up a grand total of 5 times in the entire game? What more do you need?
Yare Yare Daze, Yar’s revenge.
Per Atari, “In Yars Rising, players take control of the young hacker Emi Kimura, who is hired by a mysterious patron to infiltrate the shadowy Qotech corporation. ... Embark on Emi’s journey to decipher the mystery of the corporation’s closely guarded secret and uncover her inexplicable bond to a far-off alien race.”
Might be more related than on first glance.
It'll all make sense in time ;)
She literally has a transformation thing that turns her into the weird alien protagonist of the original game lol
I will be honest this is the first time ever I am hearing about Yars' Revenge lol!
They weebified Yars Revenge.
The best thing they showed at yet another abysmal showcase. Hope this comes to PS5 or PC cause I barely play my Switch.
There's already a Steam store listing.
A cyberpunk Metroidvania? I’m down
love her voice
main reason why ill try it out
Okay people give us your ideas on what other classic Atari games should have this kind of reboot treatment like centipede or breakout or missile command or haunted house or my personal favorite asteroids or if you really want to go nuts the sword quest games.
Does she eat shields?
The purists aren't gonna like this.
This ain't it chief
This game might get me in the yars franchise
