    Absolutely keeping an eye on this.

    G-Police was fantastic - it was somewhat hamstrung on PS1 by the technical limitations, but the story was absolutely phenomenal. I need to go back and play it - and eventually play Weapons of Justice too.

    Fingers crossed for this game.

      I only ever played it on PC. I can imagine how it might be scaled back for the PS1 hardware. Hopefully I can try that out some day!

        In fairness, they had some graphics options in where you could manually set the draw distance - and thus, the tradeoff for frame rate - on a slider. Fortunately, the targeting button worked even when the draw distance was set super close and enemies were culled by the engine, so with a change of play style one could enjoy the game at a sensible pace.

        I still remember mission 9 though - collecting the bombs and dropping them safely elsewhere. That was infuriating.

      The demo really impressed me too. Not super polished, but very good bones. Very pretty, very good vibes.
