Hell yeah (https://youtu.be/YvjNVom4EnA).
It definitely seems to capture, what made the original, so great, check out the special attack, starting at 0.40
I was always afraid to play this in the arcade because even the stand-up machine cost $5 or more for a single play. But now I'll be able to own the game for the cost of playing it 3 or 4 games in the arcade! I will be wondering if there are any differences between the XBL and PSN version because I don't want to get the inferior version. If they are equal I will get it on PSN since I get charged for what I buy and not some idiotic point system where I always have points left over.
I just hope that they don't gimp the sound quality like they did with the XBL Outrun 2 SP.
I always wanted to play this; but there are so few arcades where I live, and none of them ever had it. Saw a vid on YouTube and was completely blown away. Unfortunately, the cab itself is probably half the experience, and that's one aspect you can't emulate on consoles.
I played it a few times on a normal stand-up cabinet. It is simple, like the original, but fast and good fun. Very much looking forward to the port.
This is very nice news indeed. I have always been a huge After Burner fan. I always wanted to play this game, but being in an area where arcades are now non-existent this is great news!
I have no problems believing both versions will be exactly the same graphically. The hardware the arcade runs on is easy for the ps3 and 360 to handle. Now I hope Sega can release House of the Dead 4. The only version I have yet to play. Thanks for the news!

Not if you had one of these! (all true Sega Players have one):
Sega Arcade Chair for AFTERBURNER CLIMAX (https://archives.tg-16.com/magazine_database.htm?col=main&val=sega)

I have been intending to write an entire article dedicated to this awesomeness, but, alas, here we are, years later, and I have yet to do it.
You know this is awesome!
Can anyone verify if this was ever released in the UK (or elsewhere)?
I suspect it never was.
That's nowhere near as cool as the Konix chair (Jeff Minter sold separately).

Oh my goodness, that is absolutely insane. I love it!
I can't believe nobody commented on these chairs.
Granted, they are both UK-centric, but, still...
By the way, sunteam_paul, may I ask where you live in England? Just curious. If I had to guess, I'd say Brighton (just kidding).
Pff, no. I live in the land of the pasty.
Just a few more weeks! I can't wait to play this!

For $10, this is totally worth checking out. It will certainly be better than the $10 I spent on the recent Castlevania WeeWare.
oh if you have a japanese XBL acc you can watch the famitsu360 inside xbox interview with the Afterburner creators on there .. in japanese of course.. I can try and record it for ya but it be shitty quality and the japanese female interviewer is hella annoying and funny while screaming and playing that game >.>
Got it! Awesome game!
How long til they put it on sale for $5 is the real question...

a while...
hmmm not sure whether to buy this yet I might wait for price drop too the trial is cool but I can't see myself playing this as much as FFight
Just picked this game up for $5 on PSN last night. Probably will be $5 until the next change on Tuesday. Didn't even give it a go yet, but I know a lot of people were waiting for the discount, so I figured I'd post. Happy Afterburning!
