Digger HD Available This Week

Can i play custom soundtracks in this? I am now refusing to buy store stuff like this unless i can. Come on, dont let me down.

I have one question beyond theme, do some work over new frimware on PS3? Any info ?

I apologize for my english but I do not say well

can i put the great escape theme as i dug my way out of the dirt in HD lol *whistle* tune

Good good news on the custom soundtracks, i mean, i always run through the original scores first but for extra game life, bring on some rock! (How about a patch for cuboid, was you guys wasnt it? I love that game!)

Will there be a demo available tomorrow or anytime in the near future?

it looks fun!
remembers me of Digg dug!?

will get it!

cool, im gonna get this, BUT it will be available in KSA store?

Looks great, love the old fashioned retro games. You any plans to bring more to PSN ie..Dizzy..Paperboy!?

Also what are the trophies like on this!?

Cheers

Skipping this…

I always love playing retro style games with trophies, kinda feels like you’re getting a long overdue reward for all the time spent playing these games in their original state. Does it have trophies?

Cheers Scott, just checked for the trophies and they look pretty decent wit ha few hidden ones lol!!

So Fat Scarf it does indeed have trophies.

Well if i can think of some more classics i’ll be sure to let you know Scott but till then get Dizzy sorted out, used to love that game on the Amiga and i’m almost certain it would be a huge hit

Haha, used to love it on the spectrum!

Hey nice work, is there any option for the classic graphics? Or do we just get to play in lovely new HD?

Yeah sorry, I realised I hadn’t looked it over clear enough after sending my message Was to distracted by the screenshots lol

@7 shinyME

yes this will be on the KSA Store, anything that comes out on the European stores get released on our store.
So dont worry, you’ll be able to purchase the game soon

I still have the original Digger on 5.25″ somewhere!

Looks good from the vid, nice touch putting the classic music in as well, will pick it up when have some spare pennys

also i second the person that mentioned a Dizzy remake! would be nice to get a new one with new puzzles but id replay any of the old ones if they got on the psn, especially magicland dizzy

also paperboy, bubble bobble, rainbow islands, new zealand story, turrican & marble madness all need a remake too

I am definitely gonna buy this one..I remember playing the original on my Grandad’s old Amstrad computer !!

My old-skool list wants on PSN -

Pac-Man, Space Invaders, Scramble, Dig Dug, Galaxian, Galaga, Bubble Bobble, Rally X, Pole Position, Rainbow Islands, ExZisus, Phoenix, Return of the Invaders, Frogger, Asteroids, Centipede, Missile Command, Pang, Bombjack Arkanoid, Tetris…

I would love the Originals of all them on PSN ;P

I’ll be picking this up, it looks like good solid retro fun! I preferred Boulder Dash back in the day though, but this game is the next best thing I suppose! Nice touch having the original game bundled with it too!

I remember this game (and how lousy i was at it lol). The update looks good but i’m just a little bit concerned at the price of these retro games
(i’m not being stingy as i own 45 psn games)
With the exception of Shatter, i’ve been a little let down by some of the retro remakes so a demo would help make my mind up.
I’ll wait

Offline or online multiplayer ?

i’m sorry but 7.99 for a rehash of an old game is silly, i’ll spending my money on critter crunch thanks, why is it that price when games such as Shatter or Wolfenstein 3D are minus £6?

I loved Magic Ball and Cuboid, but 9,99 Euro for this one? I think I’ll pass. Sorry Creat, but the soon to be released Critter Crunch (7,99) sounds like a much better deal to me.

Don’t get greedy!

what a surprise more paupers moaning about prices to someone who probably has no control over the issue, if gamings too expensive for you guys then go sell your PS3 and take up knitting ……and whilst you do i’ll be enjoying some old school fun with digger ” cant wait”

Sorry, but £7.99 is too much – I don’t really care who is responsible. It has to be something pretty special to justify more than £5 – perhaps I’m used to reasonably priced games on the iPhone. What are the chances that you’d sell twice as many if it was priced at £4.99 – you’d get similar revenue but a larger audience.

£7.99 for a game that looks just as old as the game its supposed to rehash???

I have Dig Dug else where and much prefer that to the looks of this game.

It’s all well and good rehashing Retro Titles, but they have to be something special to make them worthwhile, and at £7.99, it’s not worthwhile or a bargain.

if its too much for you its simple dont buy! and i disagree i love the old school retro games and know plenty of others who do. Im pretty sure it’ll sell well…..in my opinion £7.99 is well worth it, even if you only played it for an afternoon ….. there isnt many other activities you could do for a whole afternoon for £7.99 …..going to the cinema costs around £6 and your average film only lasts 90 mins, and the last time i went out on the town for drinks with my friends i didnt get much change fom 50 pounds. It makes me laugh to see people get so angry over this and say they’d buy if it was 4 or 5 pounds when it only costs 8 ……thats people not buying for the sake of 3 pounds , i spend more than that on lunch , cmon people!! lol

well rob dee, its good to know that you have loads of money lying around for a game that only lasts an afternoon, ibought super stardust for 6.29 when it first came out, and i’m still playing it, £8 on an ‘afternoon’ game is silly when there other games that can last months at the same price.

if youd botherd to read my post properly youd of seen that i never said youd only get an afrternoons play from this game, my point was take a risk and buy it cos it looks great and if it is then thats 8 pounds well spent but if it turns out to be an “afternoon” game it aint the end of the world cos 8 pounds is a small amount and most other activitys actually cost more anyway.

Woah just noticed the price thats way too much for this game. Sorry but i’ll pass on this one i’m sure somebody will pay though .

@rob-dee,

Sorry, but if you blow £8 everytime one of these games gets released on PSN, you could end up blowing an aweful lot of money on an awful lot of probably awful games.

Sorry, but £8 for this title just isn’t worth the £8, when there are titles such as Star Dust that are far better and it was bought for less. Hell, buying Wipeout HD for £11.99 when it was released is far better value that this game for £8.

I don’t mind spending money if it’s worth while, but not just blowing it for the sake of blowing it. If people just keep spending money for the sake of it, the devs will just keep releasing poor quality titles with stupid price tags.

i understand your point but surely its a matter of taste ? if you really enjoy these games then 8 pounds aint so bad . Ok the fanbase for retro games may be smaller and more niche but surely we deserve the opportunity to buy? if the store only tailored to 1 type of gamer then it would be pretty boring , dont u agree? Also its very unfair to state that the game is poor quality capeview if u dont own it , and if u do own it then surely that proves my point that people will happily pay 8 pounds for retro games. It may not be worth 8 pounds to u but that doesnt mean it wont be worth 8 pounds to every1 . I payed and im having fun playing, whats wrong with that?

@rob_dee,

I have and enjoy many a retro game because it’s my past gaming history and some of those games even today are hell of a lot of fun to play.

The problem comes when these so called rehashes really aren’t all that impressive and they are being released at a 3rd of the price of some full blown titles that will give hours of fun. Even some of the games that are in the stores cost £10 or less that are probably better than this game.

I’m all for retro games, but this £8 price tag for something that really doesn’t look any better than the original, is just cashing in on the Online Store.
I have seen much better games from the retro scene that have had a far better job done on them from the old Spectrum/C64 days.

The lack of demos for a lot of these titles is also something I think needs to be rectified. At least then people will know what they are getting, instead of dumping £8 everytime they think a game will be good, only to be stung on so many occasions.
I’m just not one of those people that will dump £8 everytime a game appears on the PSN just because it’s £8.

with regards to the point about demos, i agree wholeheartedly and can see the sense in it and how it would rectify the issue to a degree , but i still stick with what i said about £8 being a fair price if you get alot of enjoyment from a game.I suppose it comes down to the individual, one person will enjoy it and be happy to part with the cash, whereas another wont as the game doesnt do anything for them. Anyway capeview atleast we agree that theres still a place in this modern era for retro games and that its important to keep the genre going with remakes that bring something new whilst keeping the origional “feel” of the game so the experience reminds us of our gaming roots but also feels fresh and new.

I also agree that there are other remakes that look better, but in the end what really matters is gameplay

Sorry to join the negative side but i’ll definitely leave off until this is on offer for half it’s price. £8 is way too much for a rehashed retro game.
