Have anyone actual seen copies of the physical release of this?
I do remember looking at the listing from their (now closed) web store, but I have never seen physical vinyl copies. I've tried reaching out to devs and composer, but with no luck. Supposedly Le Cortex went under around the same time these were supposed to release, so I wonder if they were ever manufactured at all. |

Being French i can give a little more information on this project:
The game was a French project by 2 guys: Frédéric Sommer & Johan Spielmann, they wanted to create a whole new series on NeoGeo. - The project was announced back in 2012, with pre-orders available since september 2012, and the very first release date was december 2012. Price tag was: 389€ for the standard edition 500€ for the collector's edition, limited to 250 copies. The game was soon postponed to "end of 2013". - Some promotion videos (talking about the game, about its conception, the dev kit they made especially for the game, etc...) were shot in 2013-2014. The game was released on Steam, July 11, 2014. AES version was promised at the end of 2014. - Between 2014 & 2016, there were little to no news about the physical AES version of the game, i can tell that many of the supporters and buyers that pre-ordered the game cancelled their orders. That project was now more than 3 years old, with no news at all. -August 2016 they at least gave a message on facebook: Quote:

In fact, they inflicted themselves some severe restrictions, were always unable to break them, while refusing any help from outside. -In 2018 the company "Le Cortex" was adjudged bankrupt (Liquidation Judiciaire) The official website was shut down. So... in the end the game was never finalized and never functioned in a classic NeoGeo AES cartridge. There is a home made beta (which you see in 2014 videos) and rumors says the only (bugged) prototype is currently in China. Regarding the collector's stuff (soundtracks, etc...): they were made ! The soundtrack and the vinyl exists, but i do not think they was ever distributed to customers. God only knows where are they now. |
