Despite of what the 'Warning' says: Of course I came here because a friend told me that the Wikipedia entry of Age of the Beast might be deleted. And why shouldn't I make my voice heard ?
Some Facts: There is something like a release date set: Though annouced for 2006, a release in 2007 is very likely going to happen. One got to consider it's a game by semi-professional independent programmers, not a big budget major company. There will be a commercial release for SEGA Dreamcast. It's announced as a Special Edition that will peacefully coexist next to the freeware download - but still with a pressed run of estimated 7000+ units.
As others already pointed out, there is a video available showcasing the game in action: http://www.senileteam.com/downloads.php?d=12
Obviously the game is using all original graphics, sounds and music along with an extremely customizable and powerful 2D game engine. To really achieve commercial quality takes a good bit of time for a small group of people, working on the game in their spare time.
It's predecessor Beats of Rage was ported to an insane number of platforms (there even is an AMIGA and Nintendo DS port), and the SEGA Dreamcast version was downloaded several tenthousand times - alone from the website I am involved in ( http://www.DCEvolution.net).
Three years after its initial release, Beats of Rage still sees updates (OpenBoR, Linux & PSP port), and there still are several promising projects in the works based on the Beats of Rage game engine:
Sailor Moon Plus (freeware, Remake of the Sailor Moon game series by BANDAI): http://borrevolution.vg-network.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=364
Rage of the Streets (freeware, Remake of SEGA's Streets of Rage) http://dreamzoneboards.com/cgi-bin/YaBB.pl?num=1140255667
Yumi: Samurai Warrior (original game, commercial release sheduled for 2007): http://borrevolution.vg-network.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=366
