Gauntlet series getting rebooted. Didn't even know this was in the works. I LOVED Gauntlet Legends. Pretty sure this will be a under the radar game. I just hope it has a decent online community to play with.
Pre-ordered hard as fuck.

Gauntlet Legends was out of this world
http://www.gauntlet.com/Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment today announced Gauntlet, a completely modernized action RPG version of the celebrated dungeon crawler, will be available this summer via Steam for PC, offering full support for SteamOS and the upcoming Steam Machines shipping the second half of this year. The game will lead the launch of WB Games Vault, a direct-to-digital portfolio that will deliver paid games based on popular Warner Bros. and Midway brands, plus original IP, across multiple digital networks.
"With Gauntlet we combined the arcade style of the original game with an entirely new look and feature set that includes emergent, local and online four-player gameplay," said David Haddad, Senior Vice President, Digital Games, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment. "Gauntlet will be the first title in the WB Games Vault portfolio, which will provide us with an opportunity to access emerging talent within the game development community and match unique skills and experience with our extensive library of properties."
Gauntlet, developed by Arrowhead Game Studios, innovates on past titles while staying true to the brand's legendary format. Players select from four classic fantasy-based characters: Warrior, Wizard, Valkyrie, or Elf. Each character has its own unique strengths and weaknesses. For example, the Warrior does the most damage in melee combat, the Wizard has the most powerful magic, the Valkyrie has the most armor and the Elf moves the fastest. Distinctive play styles, procedural dungeons and an impressive art style keep the gameplay fresh.
"To us at Arrowhead, Gauntlet is one of the most defining games from our childhoods, and it's amazing to be able to work with Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment on a brand new version," said Johan Pilestedt, CEO of Arrowhead Game Studios. "Gauntlet is one of the original and best known video game properties and we are looking forward to creating a fresh, yet true to the original, take on a multiplayer masterpiece."
Upon selecting a playable character, the gameplay is set within dungeons where the object is to fight through the chambers slaying evil creatures and completing challenges. An assortment of special items can be located in each dungeon that can restore the player's health, unlock doors, and shift the odds in the player's favor with magical relics which can aid the player in surviving longer in the Gauntlet. The enemies are a vast assortment of fantasy-based monsters, including ghosts, grunts, demons, spiders, sorcerers and skeleton warriors.

Those arcade feels. Although, I kind of had a love/hate relationship with Legends as you could blow through quarters pretty fast, especially by yourself or fatigue would set in lol
I had Legends on Playstation. No 4 player mode, but still a good deal of fun.
I was reminiscing about Gauntlet: Legends and Dark Legacy not a week ago. This is definitely great news. Hearing that key noise in the trailer made me geek out.
Green Warrior.....IS ABOUT TO DIE!!
I need this inside me.
As long as they don't make the same mistakes as Seven Sorrows, this shows promise.
PC only makes me optimistic for some reason.
But also makes me a bit leery.
Apparently going to be on PS4 as well. Please just no old gen.
Delayed to September 23rd
Boo Pushed back to the 23rd ; ;
damn, least it wont have to compete with destiny. I think that is why tbh.
D-Day tomorrow
I won't have a GPU until Wed/Thurs. Hopefully it won't be very demanding.
anyone get this? if so how is it? not sure if I'll get it because single player looks like it could get boring fast :S
I played it for all of 2 min. I was hyped but it looks terrible. Doesnt even support 1080p, i think 1600x900 was highest. I'll wait for a patch or two.
