Megaton if true.

A poster over at NeoGAF (take with a grain of salt) randomly posted that Backbone Entertainment has been slated to do a remake of Phantasy Star IV.

Stated highlights include:

HD Graphics
Full Voiceovers
1200 Microsoft Points

Would be amazing if true, and make my decade. Backbone is the same company that has done Capcom XBLA games 'Commando 3: Wolf of the Battlefiend' and '1942: Joint Strike' as well as work on Sega's PSP and PS2 collections that included ports of Phantasy Star II-IV and Golden Axe.

Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

Good rumor! Beats the one about Ensemble being shut down by a hundred miles.

That is an awesome rumour and a must buy.

Debating with fanboys, its not

all that dissimilar to banging ones

head against a wall
