Julian Eggebrecht, who is the President of Factor 5, has revealed to Gamasutra that they are making the concept art on the classic Turrican game, which could hit the next-gen consoles.
Julian Eggebrecht said, “We’ve been concepting quite a bit internally. That’s another universe creation thing. I was looking at Metroid Prime’s reinventing of a franchise that had been out there for quite awhile, and we’re facing the same thing with Turrican.There’s aspects of the old games where people will feel betrayed if we don’t transform them into the next generation. On the other hand, there’s other stuff which is simply cheesy, let’s face.”
Turrican was a sidescrolling action game, which was first released for Commodore 64 in 1990. Factor 5, which has developed the recent Lair for PS3, has also worked on the Amiga ports of Manfred Trenz’s original Commodore 64 games as well as other versions of the Turrican games.
