It's an arcade game created on 1994, really funny too, High Horse rescued the idea and created Disc Jam, which is really good and I will buy or pre-order the next tuesday 7.

I immediately went to the forums to see if someone else made that connection, and here it is!
Yeah, it's definitely like Windjammers, not so much like Disc.
Anyone who hasn't played Windjammers, I HIGHLY recommend doing so as it is a very underrated 1v1 multiplayer game.

I'm pretty psyched to see a remake of sorts. Hopefully it recreates the speed and gameplay fairly well. This could be awesome.

Yeah, but that's Playstation exclusive, isn't it? I only have a PS3 with one controller at this point.

yeah I thought the same thing...and i loved that game !
remember me the time when i was very young and i played cabinet in the bar

It's not a remaster of Windjammers at all, not even close.
Especially considering a remaster of Windjammers is actually a thing that's happening(has happened?)

[hirnmixer]

similairites are there for sure.

im psyched to hear there will be a official windjammers remaster, sounds amazing. please also on pc.

this disc jam game looks interesting too. but i am so afraid people will ♥♥♥♥ it up (no offense). i remember the speedball 2 remake/remaster was a total mess and i loved the old speedball 2.

i think i like the old windjammers more though. like someone said, its a very very underrated 1vs1 game.

hope this wont happen for this game and windjammers remaster!

and yes please make leagues happen :) a dream for a windjammers-like-game!

I don't think anyone here thinks it is literally a remaster or a remake. But can you even deny that it looks very similar in concept and gameplay?

Did you even read the literal title of this thread? My guess is that's a big fat no, right?

But yeah, they're similar, in the sense that Doom and Portal are similar. Both are first person, have shooting mechanics but other than that, they're very very different games.

I did literally read the literal title very literally, yes.
What I was saying was that despite the title, the TS may not literally mean remaster.
So yeah, TS refered to it as a remaster, but that may just have been a poor choice of words.

Well... no. It's not like the similarities of Doom and Portal. They share very little else than the very basics of FPS.
Disc Jam and Windjammer share a lot more things in common and it's a much more worthwhile comparison. Are there differences? Yes, but not nearly as many as between the example you brought up or even between this and many other sports games.
I don't understand why it's so difficult to understand the reason for comparison. Do you really think they're so different that you may aswell compare Portal and Doom? (I may have completely misinterpreted the logic behind the example)
