If the screenshot above looks at all familiar, then you were fortunate enough to have played the much beloved and misunderstood Dreamcast/PlayStation 2 synesthesian shooter (?!) Rez. If you missed out on this gaming gem of yesteryear, we’ve got some good news.

At Microsoft’s pre-Tokyo Game Show conference today, Q Entertainment announced plans to reincarnate the game as Rez HD for the Xbox Live Arcade. Its original designer, Tetsuya Mizuguchi, will be handling the port and commented:

“We are excited to announce that Rez will be given a new life, this time in digital form. The game will be presented in hi-definition and will be accessible to those who did not have a chance to experience Rez the first time around. Personally, Rez has been and will always be a lifelong concept. I hope to take what I learned from the experience of creating the original game and look forward to taking it to a whole new level in the future.”

Rez HD is set to be released in early 2008, although pricing was not announced.
