Gunstar Heroes: Resurrection mod for Unreal Tournament 2004

 -Information-

Gunstar Heroes was a game originally released in 1993 by Treasure for Sega Megadrive / Genesis, It featured a mild story line covered in bucket loads of action, it pushed the boundaries of its consol to places nobody thought were possible. Everything was pushed up a notch, the colour pallet, the number of detailed sprites moving on screen at one time, it made a feast for the eyes.

Gunstar Heroes was a game that I thouroghly enjoyed as a small boy, it was my absolute favourite as a child, much more than sonic/mario etc. I got to blow up a million trillion robots with some of the coolest guns ive ever seen (note present tense) and still save the world and be a hero!

That being said, computer graphics have moved on a considerable deal, and yet, Treasure still have not made a 2.5D version (at least) of a Gunstar Heroes title, so I sat and dreamed about "how cool would this game seriously be, in 3D" graphics dont make a game good, thats for sure but when the game is already badass, the graphics ontop will make a sure fire hit!

Now as an adult id I have he power to make that dream I had come true, I will take on this game from a different perspective, and that is from the directors chair. I will attempt to make the game franchise as popular as it deserves to be, I will add my own story, sugar, spice and everything nice. Then with the help of my team, bring it to you out there as something you will all love playing, and coming back to. Maybe even get you to play the other Gunstar games that are out there as god intended. 

It was unfortunate that Gunstar Heroes got released in the dying years of the Genesis/Megadrive consol. Truley a forgotten Gem, the origianl game doesnt make it into a lot of re-releases for the more advanced consols that are out nowadays, if it was released at the same time as Golden Axe or Streets of Rage, it would easily have been one of the most famous games of all time.

 - Objective -

Play as Yellow, Green or Indigo and follow in their frag fest adventure as they fight the Resurrected Gems before they wipe out everything in their path! Save Yellow's siblings Red and Blue from the evil effects of mind control, while attempting to hunt down and stomp out the final bastions of empire forces around the globe and restore peace once and for all!

 - Whats new? -

The story line is completely original and is being writen by me specifically for this mod, that will help the mod stay alive as it will never lose its sence of direction

Characters will be trainable! the more you use your character the faster/stronger/tougher they will become

The weapons have been thought over in depth to make both old and new players happy,  each of the 14 weapon combinations now has an alternate fire mode, some of these include; Rockets, bouncing projectiles, Force Shields and railguns. there are now 28 different player weapons to chose from!

 - Game modes -

Campaign: the story mode for the mod, this will unlock more playable characters as you play through and discover secret items scattered throughout the game.

Mulitiplayer Coop: there will be a multiplayer online mode, where two players can play cooperatively through the single player campaign together.

Survival: both multiplayer and single player game mode where you are pitted against ever increasing waves of enemies from the campaign including boss enemies, Timer-on: "how long can you last?"
