Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
The Gauntlet??? Have I missed something or is this news? I’m not exactly surprised given the games they’ve revived, but I wasn’t sure they’d do it either. Very glad they have 
I’m not 100% sure there’s a lookout, but if there is I suspect it’s just for general usage  I guess, as I said, it wouldn’t be surprising to see this again as they revived a lot of the later games so why not bring back HCM with its later twist as well? But I don’t love it. Wonder if this means it’ll be bigger and have three guards though?!
I’m going to have to go back and look at the original swipe Out. Was it significantly higher? I could see it looks a bit higher, but I don’t remember it being that different. Well, the surfboard looks alright (not perfect/a bit softer), so hopefully this version does better than recent remakes’. Also, hopefully the camera angles are half decent…

Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
Footage of The Gauntlet was used in both contestant recruitment videos so it's not a new announcement.

Looks like Honeycomb Maze has a look out on the top so maybe there will be parent and kid specials? Pleased to see the style of doors are similar to the original.

Also delighted to see a retro tower on the castle!
Love the little nostalgic touches!

There was some discussion here earlier after the pitchfork image emerged. Seems like the Gauntlet will have those + that big (rotating?) star.

My question is, does the Honeycomb Maze still look like a honeycomb? Could just be the angle of the photo, but it doesn't look very hexagonal.

Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
I'm a little disappointed about The Gauntlet from what I see (as it's basically more of a Wipeout style, but it might change once I see the rest). Everything else looks great though.

Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
Assuming it is The Gauntlet. While it’s not 100% confirmed, but it’s more than likely it is judging from the brick work art on the wall.

Either that or "Unidentified obstacle 2". I saw a video on twitter of the red obstacle in motion.

So there are two unverified obstacles? Does that include the Pitchforks or have I missed something? The video on Twitter is another thing I don’t understand.

And I now understand about The Gauntlet - I remembered teh discussion about the Pitchforks being a part of it, but I never was aware we had confirmation of a Gauntlet. Good news! It does seem pretty different, but this is one of a few games I feel I wouldn’t mind changing since it’s not really the little parts that make it but the sum of all its parts. Though I do hope they keep certain aspects. The star certainly looks interesting.
The more I look at this (despite my mixed opinions), the more I’m convinced we’ll have more than three episodes. Building as much as they have for a test run doesn’t seem to make sense. Is it still taping?

Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
Honestly, the pitchforks would work good for Adventure Zone, considering that it was a mini-obstacle course in the original show.

Re: Takeshi's Castle Is Returning
It could just be the angles of the photos again, but it doesn't seem like there's enough room in front of the castle for the Show Down?
Maybe it'll be a different ending?
