With the teasing of a new Dizzy hitting the old interwebs as late as yesterday, people were kind of surprised that definite information would be released so soon. It kind of made the whole teasing process pointless, like most attempts at foreplay.
But the news has ?finally? been released and the new Dizzy game is going to be… *Mark Ronson style trumpet blare*
A rehash of 1991?s Dizzy: Prince Of The Yolkfolk. Can we have some grumbles with that underwhelming announcement please?
Paul Ranson, the original project manager had these words to say:
?20 years on and Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk remains one of the most memorable games in the series for its puzzles and humour and it's an absolute pleasure to return to the director?s role for this HD edition.
For once, this is a retro classic that doesn't require rose-tinted glasses to appreciate its design and gameplay – Dizzy: Prince of the Yolkfolk is simply a great puzzle-solving romp that's been brought up to date with glorious visuals.?
But if you want to be able to see what you're doing, you can even switch back to the original, verging on 4-bit graphics if you so wish.
Why you would so wish is beyond us, but different strokes for different folk?s junk innit.
So, it's out 9th December, expect a review from us around January.
After we've decided that it's actually quite a good thing instead of a CRUSHING DISAPPOINTMENT ON BEHALF OF EVERYONE FROM THE 80S.
Here’s the ZX Spectrum version for fans of glitchy bip bip music.
