ClayFighter Remastered shapeshifts onto PC in 2016
Ready or not, a new ClayFighter is coming to PC next year that will include over 20 characters and new fighting mechanics.
ClayFighter will be making a comeback on PC in 2016, Interplay and Drip Drop Games have announced today.
ClayFighter Remastered will include a number of iconic characters from the original game series, including Bad Mr. Frosty, Blue Suede Goo, Hoppy, Earthworm Jim, Boogerman, Tiny, and more. The game will feature over 20 characters as well as 20 familiar environments to fight in.
The upcoming brawler will improve on the original’s game mechanics by introducing double jumping, air dashing, counters, and reversals with each character having their own unique supers and “Claytality” moves. Those aren’t the only improvements being made to ClayFighter Remastered as the game will also include remastered audio and high-resolution visuals.

Not sure it really needs to be un-abandoned though. As much as I'd instant-back something for nostalgia's sake, I think we're going overboard on reviving old ideas. Yeah, they were good, but are we really out of new ideas with the massive indie push we've had in recent years? I would assume by now some of those new gameplay mechanics and storytelling concepts would start to show up in newer games, but we're just getting retread of old IP.

The only game this decade to feature Earthworm Jim.
And that's terrible.-

Interplay still exists?

Not really. I think it is like how Atari technically exists but has little to do with that the name means to us.

Also if they do they should be working on re-releasing all those great Star Trek games they made. I'd also love it if they released whatever they had of Secret of Vulcan Fury before it got cancelled.

Thanks, tag'd for later.
I need to dig up my Starfleet Academy disks ans see if I can get that shit running again.
I did come across this but seems like the Retronauts episode it talks about isn't hosted anymore either :(

I always think of Valve as a "for gamers, by gamers" kind of company.
Except they're also a "for gamers, by gamers & businessmen," kind of company too.

Titus acquired Interplay in 2001, then Titus (and new Interplay) CEO Herve Caen shut down everything that made Interplay worthwhile. Then in 2005 Titus transferred all their IP rights to Interplay (now basically Titus).
Dude has a knack for failure.
Granted, Brian Fargo was not doing very well before he left either, but at least they were seen as a fairly reliable producer of well received games. There probably wasn't room for a small publisher like Interplay in the early 2000s.

I remember having fun with it but it never felt that great. Bizarre it's getting this treatment.

Fighting games have be revitalized as of late thanks to Street Fighter 4, Mortal Kombat, and Killer Instinct. There are a number of other fighting series I'd love to see brought back (like Rival Schools), although I'll gladly take ClayFighter.
For now.-
That may have been true when Street Fighter IV first came out but there have been some notable flops since then, especially with re-masters like Darkstalkers and Super Street Fighter Hyper Fighting, that I would think would make anyone pause on the business side.
Did Clayfighters ever have a big fanbase? I always considered it a weird, no blood, poor man's alternative to Mortal Kombat.

My guess is it's probably much cheaper to offer this on Steam than it would be any of the major game consoles.
