המשחק אמור היה להיות חלק מסידרת SEGA REBORN בפיתוח של Sega Studios Australia. אלה אותם חברה שעשו את Castle of Illusion Remastered. מסתבר שהם נסגרו, וכך בוטל גם הרימייק הזה, שלדעתי נראה מדהים.
מסכים!R A V E N כתב:לדעתי צריכים לעשות אותו או עם גרפיקה טובה ופשוטה כמו הRevenge of Death Adder. או עם גרפיקה משופרת כמו Dragon's Crown החדש שיצא לPS3 לא מזמן.
קוד: בחירת הכל
John Szczepaniak: What about unfinished games?
Hideo Nanashi: You know yourself there's been so many at Sega. All those Sonic prototypes, for the Mega Drive and later the Saturn. There's one you might not know about - a recent hi-res 2D remake of Golden Axe.
JS: YouTube has a leaked video of a Golden Axe remake by Sega Australia...
HN: No, no, this was different. I mean, I've seen the one you mean, but this one I'm talking about had graphics that looked like Odin Sphere. The characters were of that quality, and the animation had that same kind of jaunty fluidity. There's no videos anywhere.
JS: Was Vanillaware actually involved?
HN: No, no, it was internal, but followed that style. Hey, you want to see something? <pulls out smartphone, opens email, loads stunning artwork>
JS: MAJIDE?! <roughly translated: "You're kidding me!"> How do you have this?!
HN: A friend of mine at Sega of America was telling me about it. They were trying to get it green lit and started prototyping the remake. He was really upset all their work was just scrapped. The work didn't pan out. It was really unfortunate that it wasn't released. These graphics are going to be thrown away by Sega of America.
