gear?

[Rockets]

Why did they add gear to this game? I wanted it specifically because it was one of the few games that wasn't gear dependent. Damn it

It's not bro, calm down, loot is cosmetic only.

This is the problem when people reboot games that have 2 different styles.

Some people want the outdated arcade(Insert a quarter) system while others want the current system (Dark Legacy).

Personally I hope that they include 2 different options.
One game mode for the people who really want the old arcade system and another option that would be an updated version of Dark Legacy.

I really can't see myself playing this game for more then an hour if that if they just have the arcade system in place.

[Rockets]

what is dark legacy?
Edit: looked it up, and it is basically the arcade style.

"The Gamecube and Xbox versions of Dark Legacy are the best versions of the game, for sure.... If you do want to play classic Gauntlet Legends, however, thanks to the exceptional inventory system, it is by far the best on the Nintendo 64. If you want to play Gauntlet Legends or Dark Legacy, ideally do it on the Xbox, Gamecube, and/or Nintendo 64.

Gauntlet Legends (Arcade) - 19 standard levels, 6 bosses/boss levels

Mountain (6 levels): Valley, Peak, Cliff, Cave, Cavern, Dragon (Boss)
Castle (5 levels): Courtyard, Dungeon, Armory, Treasury, Chimera (Boss)
Forest Realm (5 levels): Swamps, Roots, Tree, Branches, Spider Queen (Boss
Desert Land (5 levels): Ruins, Temple, Pyramid, Tombs, Genie (Boss)
Skorne's Cathedral: Skorne's Cathedral, Skorne (Boss)
Underworld: Underworld, True Skorne (Final Boss)

Gauntlet Legends (N64/PSX) -- 22 (N64) or 26 (PSX) standard levels, 6 bosses/boss levels
--
Mountain (6 levels): Valley, Peak, Cliff, Cave, Cavern, Dragon (Boss)
Castle (5 levels): Courtyard, Dungeon, Armory, Treasury, Chimera (Boss)
Town (5 levels): Fields, Cemetary, Spire, Airship, Plague (Boss)
Frozen Plains (5 levels): Docks, Camp, Mine, Fissure, Yeti (Boss)
Skorne's Cathedral (1 level with boss at the end, no separate access or saving before boss): Skorne's Cathedral, Skorne (Boss)
Battlefield (3 levels): Trenches, Towers, Fortress
Underworld (1 level with boss at the end, no separate access or saving before boss): Underworld, True Skorne (Final Boss)
(PSX version has 4 additional hidden levels at the end: Mountain: Summit, Castle: Barracks, Desert: Tombs, Forest: Village. The latter two are from the Legends arcade game, but the first two were new. Castle Barracks was later included in the console Dark Legacy ports, but Mountain Summit is PS1 exclusive.)


Gauntlet: Dark Legacy (Arcade) -- 33 standard levels, 11 bosses/boss levels (note that two (sort of three) Gauntlet Legends (console versions) levels, Town: Airship, Mountain: Summit, and sort of Town/Province: Poison(ed) Fields, are not in any version of Dark Legacy. Poison Fields is "sort of" because the setting returns, but the level design in DL is almost entirely new. All other Gauntlet Legends (console and arcade) levels are in it, despite the Town realm being broken up between two new areas. Thus 8 standard levels are new in this version, plus 3 bosses.)"

Basidally the same.

As christian22 stated: Gear is cosmetic in Gauntlet. :)

I wish it was more than cosmetic and actually boosted your stats. Adding a bit of depth to an already great game would give the title more longevity. As it is, I am still super excited. Played this game A LOT in the late 80's as a kid. Back then there wasn't even gear, so I'm not complaining ;) If this title is a huge success though, consider doing another version with talent trees as well!

Gauntlet Legends and Gauntlet Dark legacy are pretty much the Same game. Dark Legacy just has some extra stuff in it.

You guys do realize when people say the original gauntlet they dont mean Legends or Dark Legacy. They mean Gauntlet from 1985 arcade. That is the game they are rebooting that style just with a few upgrades. I dont think they will be adding elements from the other two games(even though i love those games). That being said im still buying this game and will still have fun with my friendson it. if you want more of an idea of what the game will be like go on youtube and just after E3 Machinima got a First shot at private DEMO of the game and they play through the first level. so go look at it.
