While I’ve by no means been a real devotee to fast-paced puzzlers, Lumines has held a particular place in my coronary heart since 2005. Who’d have thought that each one you wanted to show easy two-colour block matching into one thing horrifically compelling was syncing the motion to the beat?
We’ve recognized that Lumines is coming again for an HD encore for some time now, however right this moment we’ve got a launch date for Lumines Remastered. Unfortunately, it appears to be like prefer it’s going to overlook its deliberate May launch, and is now due out on June 26th.
While the finer particulars of Lumines Remastered are nonetheless a thriller, we do know that as a result of this was initially a Tetsuya Mizuguchi-headed challenge (he of Rez fame), there’ll be a brand new give attention to rumbling controllers. While that is clearly going to be somewhat simpler to sync up with the Switch model of the sport, the PC ought to presumably additionally can help you cowl your physique with buzzing items of plastic that transfer to the beat, and there’s no approach in hell I could make that not sound like a fetish characteristic, so I received’t.
The Rez relation goes somewhat deeper with this remake, too. The remastering is being dealt with by Enhance Games, the group that just lately polished up and VR’ified the traditional rail-shooter to nice impact, residing as much as their title. Personally, I’m most excited to search out out the monitor record. While that is billed as a remaster, I’d be shocked if the very same music was on this new version, however I’m holding out hope that J-Pop anthem Heavenly Star makes a return, on the very least.
While we’ve got a date locked down for Lumines Remastered, it doesn’t have a retailer web page or a price-tag fairly but. For those that actually can’t wait to get again into the groove, the unique Lumines plus an growth are available via Steam for £6/$10 or £10/$15, relying on which model you need.
