Tri-Ace isn't involved and they handed it over to a low budget shovelware studio. I really don't want it celebrated as is, I've never had excitement turn to despair this sharply in my life.

Personally, the genre switch is totally fine with me even as a fan but the studio making it, the pure jank way it looks and the 2022 projected release date all inspire a level of dread.

Be thrilled to be proven wrong, since I'm buying it anyway out of sheer stupid loyalty to my dead franchise.
