The latest issue of UK publication PSM3 has revealed the first concrete details on Sega’s forthcoming Golden Axe: Beast Rider for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360.
According to the magazine, the game will be something of a reinvention of the classic slash ‘em up, with players assuming the role of Amazonian warrior Tyris Flare; however, series veterans Gillus the dwarf and Ax Battler will still make an appearance as supporting characters.
The most significant change Beast Rider undertakes is the inclusion of free-roaming environments as opposed to side scrolling action, in addition to the ability to ride up to five different beasts found throughout the gaming environment.
Despite this, fans of the Genesis original will be pleased to hear that the traditional hack and slash combat still remains, although this time, players will also have a range of spells at their disposal.
Expect more details on Golden Axe: Beast Rider as they become available.

"although this time, players will also have a range of spells at their disposal"
Um... if I remember correctly, the original Golden Axe had spells as well. You had to kick some gnomes in the butt to get magic potions. The more potions you had, the more powerful the spell. Gillus had lightning spells, but was better at physical attacks. Ax Battler had wind spells... but he just sucked. Tyris Flare had awesome fire spells... including a dragon that would scorch everyone on screen.

Dude, no one cares that it's your first post. Really, they don't. In fact, it just pisses people off.
Anyways, I loved the genesis original. I can't wait to see this one complete.

SIZZURP, I'M SO PISSED OFF RIGHT NOW!!!
But woo for Golden Axe. Hopefully they'll release the originals on PSN with online co-op to try and whip up some excitement for the game :)
And yeah, saying FIRST is really lame (Although it's always entertaining when somebody says FIRST! and they are something like third post :P)

@sizzurp01 Instead of wasting everyone's time annoucing your first post. You should have atleast left an intelligent comment like you were supposed to do anyway.
