Reset Revealed
It’s been a couple of days since the great unveiling of Reset Generation at the Museum of Cartoon Art in San Francisco, CA last Friday, and the first press articles about the game are starting to appear online.
GameCyte has put together an excellent hands-on preview, giving a thorough breakdown of the gameplay and the inspiration behind the game:
From its concept, to its gameplay, to its art and music, Reset Generation is a postmodern love letter to the industry — as Nokia puts it, “The first video game about video games.”
Pocket Gamer has also put up an extensive hands-on preview by Tracy Erickson. He notes:
Reset Generation is purely about gaming. From the hilarious heroes that act as parodies of popular characters from video game history to the core mechanics inspired by classic titles, every piece has been carefully installed to serve as an homage to gaming.
Gizmodo also has a story up, calling it the flagship title for N-Gage, adding, “The N-Gage platform has traversed a rocky road since its inception, and if there’s any princess in need of rescuing by a wildly popular and successful hero, that’s probably it.”
Other key features about Reset Generation to note from the previews:
- 18 single player missions
- Playable on both PC and N-Gage
- 4-player multiplayer
- Cross-platform gameplay (PC vs. N-Gage)
- Free to play on PC
- Rankings, belts, and Point Pickups
- Ten playable heroes
- Homage to videogame history
So what do you think of the game? Was it what you expected? Are you looking forward to it?

now another question. Whats with the mile high release?
May 5th, 2008 at 9:38 am
I think it can become a classic between Fifa, Asphalt and all those licensed games, I’m really looking forward to it.
PS: When will you release Pinball, wouldn’t you release it today?

After reading various articles over the weekend i must admit i was a little sceptical about this game, as it was’nt what i and most others expected.
but after reading the piece by pocket gamer it’s changed my opinion to atleasat wait until it’s out before judging it.
I can see why it will appeal to some gamers but to what extent we’ll have to wait and see

MHP might be released this monday (5th may) or monday 12th may, as the game codes for the survey are supposed to be given out on 12th may, HOWEVER game releases are related to the USA Time-zone and arent usually released till later in the afternoon (USA time).
Plus the game might be released Monday 12th (instead of 5th) so that people can use their activation codes straight away.
Regarding Reset generation the character designs look amazing!, yet the gameplay doesn’t interest me much - yet ill still give it a try!
