TIME GAL HD

This is Misty's treat, right here

https://www.taito.co.jp/taitoldgamecollection/

Judging from the video quality they no longer have the film elements to work from and it was captured from the arcade laserdisc but still - this should be great.

ICYMI, Taito already remastered Time Gal for smartphones a few years back, and it turned out pretty well—the base game adds a theatre mode & training mode for every scene, and the DLC adds a bunch of concept art/dev docs and a "show all the QTEs in advance" option:

The SE for this upcoming collection comes with a download code for "Time Gal Reverse/Rebirth", which seems to be some sort of epilogue, but I have no idea if it's brand-new or based on something from back in the day.

omg is that Yamato???

Yup! They’re doing something weird with it - it’s an Amazon prime day bonus they’ll be selling separately later. But I didn’t think they’d ever port it, the license probably wasn’t cheap

I'm pretty sure Yamato's part of the base collection—the Amazon bonus (which, for the first time, has a "we might sell this later" disclaimer) is specifically for an "arcade game edition", which people are taking to mean a non-HD version, but nobody really knows precisely what it is.

The SE also includes a code for "Time Gal Reverse/Rebirth", whatever that is...

Misty @dog7/9/2023, 11:10 PM

Ohhh huh, I totally misunderstood that. Thanks for the clarification! Taito are definitely being a little weird about this.

I hope they explain what that SE bonus is soon.

Heh, looks like people in Japan are just as mystified https://twitter.com/mttk3029/status/1677232007225704448

yeah, apparently one of the press releases says it's some sort of epilogue, but like... is it being made from scratch? did they unearth it from somewhere? are they recreating it from pre-existing assets? etc

BTW, one of the original Time Gal devs located a master disk a couple years back, which he delivered to Taito, so maybe it's related to that, who knows.
