Dizzy returns 9/12/2011 with Prince of the Yolkfolk

It won't be just due to the numbers of consoles that they are releasing this on phones, it will also be due to the market place. I think selling a Dizzy remake to a bunch of people all glued to FPS games may be a hard sell, whereas the phone market is more used to casual games, and puzzle games, so a remake of a twenty year old short game fits better into that marketplace.
I do have an iPad, so am now torn - I do not want to give a penny to Apple (as I may have hinted at in another thread {dizzy}:biggrin: ) , and have played both the original game and the DizzyAge remake for free (and I am a bit of a tight wad!), but I do want Dizzy back..... {yolkfolk}:puzzled:

EDIT just watched the trailer, nice to see the old Speccy being used, but they could have got the loading screen right - they use the correct sound for a screen load, but a screen loaded in 3 sections (with the colours loading at the end), not about 5 or 6 like they did. Sorry to be pedantic, but if you are going to try and make it look right, then make it look right!

I'm so buying it! Can I do an Eric Cartman and freeze myself for 2 weeks so I will wake up on release day? I just can't wait! {yolkfolk}:yahoo:

What..someone froze themselves?

I seem to have come across 2 more screenshots that don't appear to be anywhere else...

I don't like their interpretation of Pogie.

Exactly. Looks like a frickin' teddy bear! {yolkfolk}:meh:

I got told about this re-make from a work friend.....she said "Once I left work, I thought the subject of Dizzy would be over, low and behold Dizzy was all over the radio"
Very dissapointed she heard about it before me {yolkfolk}:tired:

He was that colour on the 16-bit version of the game, the remake appears to be showing that's It's not meant to be Pogie, dispite the 8-bit versions actually showing/saying that he is Pogie.

I just found this interview: http://www.computerandvideogames.com/327182/interviews/dizzy-iosandroid-xbox-and-ps3-are-possible-but-weve-got-neggs-gen-to-consider/

It's a good read

I would like to see Dizzy released for the PS3 and/or Xbox also but i think Prince Of The Yolkfolk is being used as a test game, no doubt because it’s the shortest game of the series it cost them less time and money to update and the games generally ease will probably suit the modern casual mobile gamer more so then Spellbound Dizzy.

Prince of the Yolkfolk really is their go-to game for remakes anymore, isn't it? First there was its remake as Dizzy the Adventurer for the premiere of the Aladdin Deck Enhancer, then it was also on a Game Gear collection, and they almost finished a Genesis port with all-new graphics. Then there was that trailer for a mock-up of a 3D Dizzy game that threw the "Prince of the Yolkfolk" title on at the end.

It is interesting that they're going back to the Amiga version as the basis for this rather than a further evolution of Dizzy the Adventurer, as evidenced by that cool musical remix at the end of the trailer, and now by the red-eyed fanged Dizzy clone instead of the troll.

The game graphics look nice, Sort of thing i would have wanted for Grimm Dizzy.

I like how Dizzy looks cute in an amateurish-looking way, harkening back to when it was just a couple of young brothers coming up with a game sprite that had a big happy face. :smile:
(And none of this "Overly grim face with huge nose wearing a hat all the time.")

edit: oh no! Blitz1up has shut down. No Clover for me. How sad.

Bliz1up should still be online, despite the fact that the division is shut down.

determined at some point to get further than five minutes before getting stuck on Railroad Dizzy (but refuse to look at the solution).

You're still stuck on Rail Road? {yolkfolk}:blink:
