Remember Shaq Fu? No? Then you are lucky. Shaq Fu was one of the worst fighting games ever, and it’s about to get a sequel. Normally I would facepalm and start yelling but (wait for it) you know (waaaaaaait) this may turn into an above-average game (noooooooow: aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh).
Shaq Fu: A Legend Reborn is being developed by Big Deez Productions who has launched an IndieGoGo campaign for it. The team aims to raise $450K.
“There are two, and only two, similarities between our Shaq Fu, and the abomination that was born in the nineties: The name, and the starring character.
We are gamers, not executives. We know what’s good and we know what stinks. This isn’t about trying to make a quick buck, it’s about creating something that both we and Shaq can be proud of. We want to make a slick, fun, rock-solid game.”
It will be interesting to see whether fans will back this project up.
For the time being, enjoy its IndieGoGo videos!

While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

Should’ve used Kickstarter instead, especially with that high of a goal.
Why the h… I mean… but… but… WHAT?
Hmmm…interesting enough. The Big Deez Team video was funny.
Another interesting point is the gaming industry’s trend, the PC in particular, is parallel with Hollywood’s new trend to dig up old titles/IPs and give them some spit and polish for the new generation. There’s already tons of classics being turned into F2Ps(not a big fan of that ‘genre’) like Silent Hunter, Ghost Recon and Mech Warrior. Currently we have Dungeon Keeper being given an indie treatment, the Homeworld franchise is being remastered and here we have Shag Fu.
