Teaser for our first game (R2G) Thread

Looks like everyone is posting stuff about their work here. I have only teaser to share at the moment, but more is sure to follow. Three years ago we quit our day jobs, started company and since then we were working on our big project. It's a series of games, each game a tribute to a great hit from the golden era of PC gaming: the '90. We aim to bring back the gaming we loved - being able to get immersed in the action and loose track of time even though we know you don't have as much free time for gaming as you used to have.

Here is the teaser.

We made it from bits and parts of in game cinematics that are already done. We would love to get feedback on the teaser and our idea in general. I will be super happy to answer any question you might have (to a degree, on some stuff my friends has sworn me to secrecy).

PS The series is called Return 2 Games :-)

Opening, the graphics are scary AAA good. Then as soon as the book opens I start thinking Yoshi's Story (N64) graphics, but you know good. As soon as those leaves fell from that tree, the body's took there place and things started exploding I knew i was in love.

Two things came to mind from reading your description of what you want the game to be; One, what games will you be emulating/paying homage to in this release? Two, do you plan to preserve the unrelenting and punishing difficulty of the early generations or easing up on the difficulty to make it more accessible for wider market coverage?
