I contacted them last night, here is their reply:
"we removed the video as we are heavily reworking the game due to feedback.
Due to the feedback all related projects are stopped for now. It's not a
good idea for us to create games that will be compared to holy grail
Neogeo games. We can't win that comparison.
We are rethinking our other projects too.
If we reboot the top down soldier game, it would be placed in a SCIFI
setting or something else that won't be compared to Shock Troopers."
Good news for sure they want to make it a great game. So I would expect the next video might be a good while though to be pretty sweet.
Good on them for listening to the feedback. I'm expecting to see something pretty amazing for their next update.
I assume everyone who contributed to the pre-order 'record' will have an opportunity to back out given that they are changing the game. LOL, that statement really seems like a bunch of BS now.
