X-Out Resurfaced Launches Tomorrow | PS4Blog.net

X-Out: Resurfaced is hitting consoles tomorrow, brought to life by ININ Games, Kritzelkratz 3000, Ziggurat, and Rainbow Arts. Let’s dive into what makes this release special!

Bring back the nostalgia! X-Out makes its triumphant return as X-Out: Resurfaced. Contrary to the usual space-themed shoot ’em ups, this game makes waves by setting the action deep beneath the ocean, challenging players to fend off an alien invasion from the watery depths. Gamers from the home computer era can rejoice as this classic gets faithfully rebuilt for today’s consoles.

Back when X-Out launched in 1990 on the Amiga, it was a refreshing breeze in a genre dominated by space settings. Offering a twist, it plunged players into a vibrant underwater setting. Its innovative shop system enabled players to customize their fleets with an arsenal of ships and weapons, ensuring that no two playthroughs were the same.

This groundbreaking underwater shooter from the legendary Rainbow Arts is making its return in 2024. ININ and Ziggurat have teamed up to deliver a remake that’s been meticulously rebuilt with a slew of enhancements.

Visually, the game’s retro sprite art has been overhauled into stunning high-resolution graphics, all adorned with modern particle and lighting effects. From the diverse range of enemies and bosses to the stages and ships, everything glimmers with newfound clarity.

Sound plays just as pivotal a role, taking you on an aural journey with sweeping synth tunes crafted by the renowned Chris Hülsbeck. Alongside remastered tracks, the game boasts six brand-new compositions that maintain the spirit of the original.

Art enthusiasts will also be thrilled as Ogan Kandemiroglu, co-artist on the original piece, returns to pay tribute to the iconic cover art created by his late brother, Celal Kandemiroglu.

Not to be outdone, the shop system makes a return, this time with user-friendly enhancements. Newcomers can jump right into the action with pre-set loadouts, all accompanied by handy item descriptions for easy fleet customization. Plus, available weapon slots are finally marked for a seamless experience.

For those finding X-Out’s difficulty curve a tad steep, fear not. The game now offers a local two-player co-op mode, so you can tackle the oceanic menace with a friend. And if you’re seeking a twist, the Mirror Mode flips everything around, adding a fresh challenge with its reverse-scrolling levels.
