SEGA Australia tried to pictch a New Golden Ax that ends up looking like a 4 player God of War and that all SEGA classic titles take place in same universe.

That has nothing to do with God of War, expect that it's muscular men fighting with melee weapons.

That looked like a very true remake of the original Golden Axe. Almost too similar even in my taste. Plays exactly the same.

Would have been cool.

On a side note, I never understood how developer pitch demos could be so ambitious and polished like this one. I always wondered how can they put up something so solid in short time.

True but not every gamer was around back then and many will look to games they do know in order to give an example. To me for some reason it reminds me of Diablo mixed with Golden Axe. I cant really explain why Diablo comes to mind though. maybe its the setting and 4 player co-op

 

OT I would have really enjoyed this and a new altered Beast

You are right. I forgot how old Golden Axe was. And how old I am.

Altered Beast, heh. It was a copy of Golden Axe, only with weird monsters instead of fantasy characters. (and obviously Golden Axe is a copy of Street Fighter).

SEGA was so lazy. But I liked Altered Beast.
