Hold up—remaster news for an old fave? Ecco the Dolphin might be back, or maybe not—no one’s really sure. Fans, and yes, I might be one of them (who’s counting?), are already daydreaming about swimming around again. If I could just get past those early levels without wanting to chuck my controller. Seriously, this series always had me sweating, like Ecco: Defender of the Future. Annunziata didn’t even work on that one, but it nailed the original vibe—creepy, cozy, and tough as nails. Can’t believe I’ll never actually be a dolphin. Life’s big letdown, am I right?
Anyway—wait, Annunziata—he’s got this wild notion of living like a dolphin ringing through his brain. He once said, something like, he chose dolphins because they’re kinda close to humans. Makes sense, I guess?
And this big-thinker guy, he’s all about gamers having, like, superstar IQs and their love doing stuff for real. No kidding. Ecco was more than a game; it was a splash of ocean love, teaching us to give a hoot about sea life. Comes with his territory, being a Pacific Islander and all. That’s cool.
He paints this picture of a world where people and ocean life are in sync. It’s like communities just vibing with ocean cycles, not wrecking stuff but contributing. Sounds kinda dreamy, doesn’t it? More connections to oceans? Sign me up.
So, yeah, remasters by Annunziata and the OG squad are on the horizon—do they even have release dates? Nah. You hang in there, keep dreaming of swimming with the dolphins—or maybe not. Who knows?
