So what's the deal with the Rez re-release?

[hiccupleftovers]

Is this Rez release confirmed or what? I can't find any official word on it and its supposedly this month.

I know I have read about it in magazines and online but I can't seem to find a release date. Also I can't find which magazine it was (I get a bunch thanks to this site/Moxio) but I was sure that it had already come out. One more question, will BB carry it?

[WeaponX2099]

I don't know either, and I have been asking every 2 weeks since i heard about it. Because soon It gets in, a store around my house has a used of the game Ill buy that one.

[Mr. Anderson]

Might want to change the title. I have no idea what "Rex" is. :wink:

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks Mr. Anderson. Hopefully now it will attract more people.

[Alpha2]

Still dosent change that it's not even on Sega's site. Do you think maybe they changed their minds?

Maybe someone should put in a call to them and find out? (Not me though I was smart enough to pic it up when it was easy to get. :))

[JohnnyDrama]

I hope the decision for a rerelease wasn't changed, I would've definitely grabbed a copy of Rez.

[Masterkyo]

REZ is RULE (i wanted a copy real bad) :)

[tenzor]

yeah I hope Rez is still coming out also

[Othergods]

I played it for the first time last month, and now I must own a copy so I hope it is still in the works.

I just tried to google it and didn't find any new news on it. I only checked the first handful of links though, one of which was a thread that someone here started about it being $29.99 used at EB or Gamestop. :) I didn't link to it though so it may have been pretty old.

[Ugamer_X]

You should find a way to buy this regardless if it is re-released or not...It's worth it (as I'm sure most of you know anyways).

EB had a few REZ copies today in stock. Few coupons will bring it down to $29.

I saw that earlier but knew that re-release was scheduled for this month so I was just hoping for one of those.

Call who? Somebody get me a phone number and I'll call them. ;)

The only place I read that REZ was being re-released was on here.
When I heard the news a few months ago, I checked the Sega site and found nothing.


Does anyone have an actual press release from Sega or a news story on a Gaming site?

I know I read it in a periodical about the re-release happening and I htink it was a few months ago in PSM. Too bad i can't find it.

[lurknomore]

I suppose anything is possible with Sega....I didn't think that Skies of Arcadia sold well enough for a re-release, but I imagine that Rez can be viewed in the same field/range. We shall see soon enough.

[Trakan]

Well, I just emailed them through their website. It said I should get an answer within 24 hours.

[Trakan]

I was browsing the boards on the Sega website, and I found a thread on REZ. Someone there says that the re-release date is November 16, next Tuesday. They said it's also in the latest issue of PSM. Anyone have it?

Aha..Thanks Trakan I have that issue actually and actually know where it is. I'll go look it up and post what page/what I find etc.

[hiccupleftovers]

Well I have just looked through it all and can't seem to find it. The PSM they are talking aobut is the one with the pic of Rumble Roses right?

[Trakan]

#-o Well, turns out I'm a fucking idiot. It's a thread from October, I didn't notice. I still emailed them earlier, so hopefully I'll get a response. Sorry Hiccup, sorry everyone.

[jngx80]

I read about it in the rumor section of september OPM and then they had an article on it in the following issue.

[lain21us]

I'm gonna be next to Sega's headquarters today. If I have time I'll walk over there and try to get an official statement or something.

[2poor]

i would want rez out cause its really hard to find

[Rig]

I rented it a few months ago from the local video store. It was a good game. I don't know if it is worth all of the hype, becuase it was short and pretty easy, but still a good game indeed. I will be picking it up, if anyone finds out about the rerelease.

[Midnite]

I believe the guys over at Penny Arcade mentioned a re-release as well.

I can't get rid of my PS2 because I still play Rez a lot.

[soulyogurt]

I preordered it from GameCrazy a couple of weeks ago... I seem to recall them giving me a January date..

[PhrostByte]

Unless you're talking about this thang right here...

It could very well be a 2-year anniversary edition.

[Trakan]

Dear Trakan,

Thank you for e-mailing Sega Technical Support.

I have no information about a new REZ being released.

Information about future Sega game releases is shown at our web site.

Just go to www.sega.com and select Sega of America. Future releases are given by Title, by the Platform, and by the ESRB (rating).

Please visit this site frequently to get the most current information about Sega and Sega games!

Sincerely,
-Sandi

Well, looks like either they're not saying anything about it, or this was all just a rumor. Let's hope not.

[Darkside Hazuki]

The latest GMR (NFSU2 on the cover) also had a two page spread on the re-rerelease. No specific date was mentioned, though they did give it a favorable review.

I've had this since it's original release and still play it regularly.
Just buy it, then do yourself another favor and find a Trance Vibrator.
Your neck/lower back/nether regions will thank you. :wink:

[GuilewasNK]

Heh, nether regions! :D

[lurknomore]

So...nobody has given definitive word from Sega yet about this re-release. I think that there is enough circumstantial evidence showing that this is going to happen though.

[evilmax17]

Here's hoping for an updated version, so I have a reason to buy it!

If it's in the latest issue of GMR with a review and everything, I'd say this is pretty solid now.

What'd it get? Also, did it say that it was any different from the original release?

[hiccupleftovers]

Thanks Trakan for e-mailing them. I was no their website looking for it but could not find a release date for nor that the game was even listed.

Sartori, yes it is true that GMR did a spread about Rez as I recieve that mag free thanks to the Edge card.

[Darkside Hazuki]

It was a "retro" review. They gave it an 8 then, and a 9 now. (I think. Threw the issue away already.) They were not reviewing the new edition, simply "re-reviewing" the game to see if opinions had changed in two years.

[camoor]

Price has gone back up on ebay. Strange...
