It's not that it sucked the graphics awesome update but the story was way to short

I asked Bob Flanagan if he and Ed (Logg) could get the rights to the game again, but that's completely impossible, even though Brian Fargo reacquired the rights to Bard's Tale and Wasteland...

Unfortunately GDL is in copyright hell and the owners are going to sit on the IP. It really bums me out that while this game is okay, it doesn't hold a candle to the charm of GDL or Legends. I'd love to see a new Gauntlet game with as much content as GDL but I think the 5th gen Hack and Slash style games are dead; it is a real shame because that genre lends itself to compelling and enjoyable gameplay. Baldur's gate Dark alliance, Champions of norrath and return to arms. Dungeons and Dragons heroes were all really awesome cooperative games; but I doubt we will ever get a game similar to these ever again. I would be so stoked if Dungeons and Dragons heroes or Gauntlet Dark legacy got a re-release.

For those interested in this information, I am not advising nor condoning emulating old video games that are basically abandonware at this point, but for anyone interested in playing GDL online with friends, you can use Dolphin and LEGALLY ACQUIRE the ISO for the game then play it online with friends; it even has built-in save syncing so the host can save the game and their characters.

Why goes dark legacy need remade?

We sometimes run Legends or Dark Legacy on a 16 foot theater screen.
Do a little dungeon smashing between movies.

There are a number of platforms you can pick, including MAME if you want the coin-op experience.

I mean visually it looks just fine, even at 16 feet by 9 feet.
9 foot tall Pac-Man and Galaga is a hoot too or Wizard of Wor, but that's kind of off topic.

ALL GAUNTLETS NEED ONE!

But first they should add the original version of Gauntlet Dark Legacy to Steam! I actually enjoy PS1/Dreamcast-like 3d graphics. Just feels like home. People over do it and add far too many god-rays in now ... or who knows what else. I would accept a simple remake, as long as it kept what made it great without adding too many "realistic graphics". Graphics usually aren't what makes a good game

Yea shame there was never a PC port of Legends or Darklegacy, either one.
Seven Sorrows is ok too.

Dreamcast or Gamecube version is fine and the PS version for Seven Sorrows since i dont think there is another.

They could leave the graphics as they are.

We dont need a remake of that, nothing to remake about it, its fine as it is.
A port of the executable would be nice for convenience sake, but dolphin and flycast work fine.

Not to mention, no one has the rights to do it

WB should maintain the license just so this can never happen.

Meanwhile, hope you guys enjoy Gauntlet: Slayer Edition :lunar2019grinningpig:

You should shut up because nobody asked for your f'ed-up opinion, and besides that's a bunch of bs and you know it as everyone who loves Gauntlet: Dark Legacy "which is a lot of people" would love to see a remake or even a remastered version get made.

I would not like a remake or a remaster, nothing really to remake or remaster to it.
Now i would like to see a proper PC port.
Be easier for a lot of people than emulating it.

Not sure which source to go with?
Really, i would probably offer people both, the arcade version and say the gamecube version.

If i was the genius doing it, for historical reasons, i would do
Arcade - Gauntlet Legends
Dreamcast - Gauntlet legends
Arcade - Gauntlet Dark Legacy
Gamecube - Gauntlet Dark Legacy

Only real modification i would do is to add code to facilitate network co-op
couch co-op they already have.

But they would simply be source ports to PC, no remaking/remastering, no assets modified.
If you play any of those in MAME or Flycast or Dolphin now, you will see that they dont really need any tinkering, they play great and look absolutely great
