Oh and Gunlord actually made it into the clones section.

Ultracore is my personal favorite of that bunch. Anyway, like snajper said, look through the news. TR is not updating the subsections that much anymore but he has been posting news snippets regularly for decades which is quite amazing.

IIRC Ultracore has been mentioned here in the news a few years ago, as well as both Gunlords. So...

Also, everyone should play Cyber Shadow. It's a Ninja Gaiden-esque but has that Turrican 3 feel too.

Factor 5 Turrican 2007 Prototype

Matthias Worch, Ex-Factor 5, now Design Director at Hangar 13, posted some cool concept art of a Turrican Prototype by Factor 5 on Twitter, including a cover art!

"In 2007 I got to head a Turrican reboot that sadly never shipped. It would have been a full 3D re-imagining for that generation of consoles.

Many talented people worked on it, for example @SeppoHelava, @corystrader and (of course!) @Chris_Huelsbeck. It would have been awesome.

We had a prototype that played well and luckily, some awesome concept art (all by Cory Straders) survives. So here we go with concept art!

Here's the poster for our new version of Turrican, with Bren McGuire and The Machine. (And yes, there would have been a Fist miniboss!)

Took two stabs at it: one in 04 that never got past concept, and one in 07 that got far enough into prepro to have various playable protos.

And four more Turrican gameplay concepts and environments. I loved the art style and gameplay, which was modernized arcade fun."

And Julian Eggebrecht of Factor 5 tweeted:
"Of course we worked on one [prototype]. Several, actually. But the 2007 incarnation was really cool. Have to fire up that PS3 debug and play it ;) "

I wonder if we´ll at least see a video of it before it is lost forever...come on Julian! :)
