Giraffe surprising?
Everything is giraffe-surprising if you do it right.

PS4 SG would be the second best thing to happen to me this year, and no, tempest 4k isn't the first.
Please can we have ps4 space giraffe?

It sounds like a lot of work to get SG up and running on the new generation of consoles as Giles would want to do it properly.

So whilst SG was much loved by some, it created a lot of confusion/dislike because it wasn't Tempest but looked a bit like it and I imagine it was a bit of a flop commercially. Because of that, I'd be very surprised to see an SG remake unless the guys finally got rich from one of the other projects.

SG is my favorite thing they have ever done. Absolutely nothing else like it in video gaming. Still play it regularly via 360 backwards compatibility. And I honestly don't see the need for an update, as its perfect.

You could probably build a PC that would run it at full speed for super-cheap. :)

I was thinking the same thing. Let's just go for a trifecta, and do Gridrunner Revolution after that :)

These games are very nearly complete. This little video just shows the context switching between the two games.

Justified and Ancient.
