No... But Yes! Yars' Revenge To Be Remade

Have you ever actually played Yars' Revenge? You can play it here. Of all the games to remake, Atari choose that? A classic, perhaps, but it nevertheless boggles the mind. Big Download got the scoop: "This new version is the first game that's due to be released by Killspace Entertainment... Its remake of Yars Revenge will have a Japanese anime art style as it tells the story of a nameless Yar who was previously brainwashed by the Qotile empire. Now having broken from their control, the Yar battles back against its former masters. Look for massive aerial battles, multiple endings and local support for two player co-op."

It's out in early 2011 for digital download. I have posted both the new trailer and the original TV ad. Compare and contrast and wtf.

"That's revenge." Amazing.
