Speedball 2 remake: Now is the right time for it…

We have recently reported about Frogster Interactive's plans on bringing the classic game, Speedball 2, to the PC this summer. But its original developers, Bitmap Brothers, is thinking bigger things for the 90's video game series. According to Bitmap Brothers' managing director, Mike Montgomery, now is the right time for a Speedball 2 remake, one that could give today's best games a run for their money. He also said that:

No one has yet made a clone of Speedball 2 that works, I have been asked so many times to bring back Speedball 2 and now the time is right. With all the enhancements we're adding, it will appeal to old and new players...The key to Speedball 2 is that it's quick to learn and immediately fun to play. Get a few beers, pizza, and some friends, then you can have a great competition all night.

Although the remake would only be available on the PC, Montgomery said that he has designs for each console and that it won't be long until we hear something about them. For now, they are working on the game's online aspect - speedball2.com. This aspect will act as a communication and information platform, and as a marketplace wherein players could buy a new armor and equipment for your team.

Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks? We'll be keeping a close eye on Speedball 2 for us to give you more developments about it.
