Two essential PlayStation 1 games are getting a modern re-release. Whoopee Camp is developing an enhanced remaster of Tomba!, a 1997 platformer. The game's original director is on board with the project as well. Tomba! will be running on the Carbon Engine, Limited Run Games' in-house retro game engine, which is what the GBC Shantae remaster ran on, and developed by Modern Vintage Gamer. This remaster will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Switch, and Steam.

​

That wasn't the only announcement, either. Gex is coming back, in the form of the Gex Remastered Trilogy. This collection will pack together Gex, Gex: Enter the Gecko, Gex 3: Deep Cover Gecko, with all three set to be running in the Carbon Engine, too. The Gex games will be released on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC.

It's just upscaled emulation. Not native source ports. Pass.

For once i agree with you

I remember Tomba being a pleasant experience, i hope they're not just up-scaling textures but adding other useful features like the ability to save anywhere etc.

at least gex has a better voice it was terrible on the NTSC version it sounded like the joker from the batman. but is was a lot better on the PAL release. it had a proper British James bound voice.

Dunkey will be pleased.

Wasn't The Gex originally a 3DO character?
