BREAKING: Gex Trilogy Gameplay Trailer Showcased in LRG3 2024!

[Roboguy420]

Gameplay is finally here!!

As they said before, these are essentially emulated ports, running on their Carbon Engine. They stated in the description that there will be extra features, including rewinds and savestates from anywhere.

Preorders available this autumn.

Thoughts??

Hell yeah glad we finally got some kind of preview.

Hell yeah

Seeing the hype for the climb up for this series is probably one of the most surreal experiences in my life. My younger self is internally screaming with this newfound appreciation for this franchise. Limited Run might have to do reprints and such at this rate 

I'm interested in a possible collector's edition, this fall. Let's hope it's worth it. I just hope the game actually runs well. The trailer looked pretty rough so far. It might explain why it's taking so long.

It's about damn time! As soon as preorders become available, I will definitely be preordering it lol. I was hoping it would have came out this year, but at least we know when pre-orders are going live and that's fine by me. Plus seeing a trailer of the games in action was a nice treat too! I'm happy we'll be getting savestates, it'll make the first game much easier to deal with since we don't have to worry about passwords anymore!

Gex community kinda feels more alive now

nice!
how do i really prepare for the preorder?

Just gotta save up before the pre order drops sometime in fall. Keep in mind that LRG will not ship the game until pre orders end. So we won't be getting the game until next year at this point btw.

Given the timeline of events, this is what happened to the Gex Trilogy so far.

• Gex becomes a meme on the internet, thanks to online influencers, Scott the Woz and Videogamedunkey
• Gex Jr prototype drops the same year, and generates interest
• Unfunny "GEX" memes gets spammed to oblivion even on Square Enix's livestreams for Crystal Dynamics anniversary in 2022
• Trademarks get filed for the Gex series, (possibly the Trilogy looking back)
• FlippinDingDong makes an Gex animation in the "What if Gex was a 90s Television Show which went semi-viral
• LRG sees this and makes a makes a teaser trailer at LRG 2023. Adds wishlists to their website
• Then radio silence for a year
• Teases the Gex Trilogy getting the same animator to do animation with no signs of gameplay for LRG2024. Trailer mentions preorders will start at fall 2024
• Radio silence again
• Mentions it will be at Gamescom 2024 with a piss poor display booth with none of the QoL changes and extras as promised
• Damage controls to TheGamer hyping up it would be their most "ambitious" remaster and "Gex is a premium product". Claims Gamescom build was an early build
• Constantly hypes up the Carbon Engine which is a glorified emulator.
• More radio silence
• Now we are nearly at the end of Fall 2024, and the product is still 'coming soon'  with LRG not even hinting at the fact, the product is ready yet or mentions any delays.  More radio silence again while promoting their other products.

Honestly, seeing how the Gex Trilogy was handled, it's very apparent LRG just looked at the meme culture, called up the animator to slap together a trailer to play along with the memes, then realised they actually had to make the game, since the trailer got more hyped than anticipated. Can I say I'm pretty baffled but not shocked by this turnout of bad quality. I mean literally, if you wanted to play a dumb overplayed joke for the internet fine.

But to pretend you actually care about the quality of the game's and have nothing to show for it is nothing less than decietful. I'm not sure what I was expecting, since that's how the internet views the series, so why the hell would LRG takes it seriously? You wouldn't believe this was a game made to compete with Mario 64 and beloved platformer mascot by the way this incompetent marketing was handled. This is coming from someone who waited for news on the series since 2015, since the Square Enix Collective, seeing getting shutdown and now with the new opporunity to get new people into the franchise, they squandered it.

Like, how the hell is the Soul Reaver and Croc remaster look so much better than that hogwsash of the remaster? LRG had so much time to actually give us a premium product, instead like the series, the company probably treats it as a cashgrab and huge meme. I never seen such an unserious company before which pretends to care about preservation but even in the same breath,  will rob you blind with their 'collector's editions' but never actually make the products better.  Heck, we haven't even seen what the collector's editions are going to be like. I get the gex fandom isn't the biggest, but they couldn't act like they cared when they didn't

I'm so sick of the series being treated like this, and now I know the remaster is going to turn out like a huge joke, and it would be thanks to LRG for not even trying. Heck, they did a shitty job with the booth, but damage control like we are stupid. We waited nearly over 20 years for this, and this all they had to show for it.  They should never been allowed to handle this project, if they can't do something as basic as PS1 emulation.

Even if this trilogy does well, I can't really see a future for this series, outside being used as nostalgic cashgrab. That I can't really fathom why I even bothered looking forward to this. Thanks internet and LRG you made Gex into a huge joke and disrespected it's fans in the process. At least be honest with your apathy

I feel you bro.. I feel you.

It really sucks to see how the Gex "remaster" has been treated.

I want to believe that they're taking this long because they're spending time adding the QoL features that the games deserve. I really do. But, honestly, what you've posted is very likely the unfortunate reality of it. They don't care about being faithful to the series and its genuine fans, but just want to cash in on the stale done-to-death memes. They think they'll make money just off the meme recognition alone. It's sad that this really great and unique platformer series has been reduced to this level.

Considering there's basically been no steam page has been listed very close to the fall and after the previous announcements, it's safe to say they definetly didn't give a damn about it. JUst playing into meme culture, it's just unprofessional anyway. I never seen a product treated in this fashion, and I feel like Gex was the exception. Since we haven't seen this any IPs. We don't even know of the extras added to the trilogy nor have any collector's editions teased. It says a lot.

[ShadowJinjoYu]

Russian pirates probably put more effort then lrg would

[Ravenfreak]

Honestly LRG has been shady lately. I brought up the fact that they shipped copies of the game D for the Saturn that were faulty in the past. And after reading @Retrofuge's post it does seem like they were cashing in on the meme and then probably realized well shit we need to make the game now! It sucks, but I'm just hoping we actually get this collection next year. I guess we'll wait and see...

damn, came to check the forums to see if theres any updates on gex remaster, leaving with salty taste
