Uh.. Japanese dual stick shooter?

CrushDance · (11-02-2007, 09:04 AM)

duckroll, do you know when that MMORPG is supposed to come out? Or if it's been dated? That and The Agency have piqued my interest but we haven't seen much.

uh, neat -- i hope its japanese origin means a resemblance to arcade shooters. there have been too many of these games lately, but i've got some money on my japanese psn account that needs spending.

Sorry. I don't remember the name, it was for PS3 and had like these short chibi characters, 2Dish...

M3wThr33 · (11-02-2007, 09:09 AM)

Nope. Not buying.
I'm sick of these goddamn half-assed games that all try one little gimmick to be different. I bought two of them and that's enough for me.

But this is from Game Republic! The makers of Genji, Genji 2 and Folklore!

Wish the media on the site was a little bigger. :'(

Dude, it could be from the love child of David Jaffe and Will Wright and I still wouldn't care. STOP MAKING TOP-DOWN SHOOTERS.

Genji and Folklore are good >:(

Looks great, especially for the price.
Can't wait to see more media

Going by the map, the (randomly generated? surely) corridors and the cutscene I'd say it's more Gauntlet than Robotron, but we'll see.

Chromax · (11-02-2007, 09:35 AM)

Looks good, and yes...Folklore was very good.

Even so, if this is anything like Valkyrie no Bouken, I'm all over for this.

jiggle · (11-02-2007, 10:05 AM)

I love the art that comes out of GR. Not much of a shooter fan, but for 8 bucks, will definitely pick this up. Gonna be 3/3 GR games for me this gen......

Chromax · (11-02-2007, 10:06 AM)

I need a trailer...

Ceb · (11-02-2007, 11:13 AM)

Artemis? Kid Icarus for the PS3 then. :p

Sucks that it's a Game Republic action game instead of something more substantial....

Acosta · (11-02-2007, 11:20 AM)

Mine!

God bless DL console services and the shoot'em up goodness they are gong to bring.

EGM92 · (11-02-2007, 12:10 PM)

looks very interesting. Any screenshots/video of the game?

You don't have to buy them, what's the problem.

Absolutely. I'd rather there were 100 TDS than 100 FPS.

bran · (11-02-2007, 06:06 PM)

I wish they'd just make a witch top-down shooter.

Does anybody know what that old arcade game is called? Plays like any bottom up shooter but with witches on brooms etc.

shagg_187 · (11-02-2007, 06:14 PM)

Is it just me or the game looks ALOT LIKE Super Stardust HD..

I mean... Split Star? Meteor Flare? Lightning Comet? :/

I'm ok with that. That game is still probably the PS3 game I've spent the most time with, so more of the same with some tweaks would be great.

_leech_ · (11-02-2007, 06:30 PM)

Looks interesting. Is there much Japanese text?

Game Republic has popped a website up for its new PlayStation Network title Dark Mist.

It is an action shooter title where you play as light warrior Altemis and try to stop a demon king having his wicked way. As you do.

According to a translation of the Japanese website by IGN there will be Sixaxis-shaking sections to clear enemies in close-quarters, but otherwise you will use a standard light arrow attack to do away with baddies or use a big bomb when things get a bit hairy and you want a breather.

Special attacks should also help you out a bit, and come in Split Star, Meteor Flare and Lightning forms.

It is due for release on 8th November in Japan for JPY 800 (GBP 3.40 / EUR 4.80). We are currently waiting to hear back from Sony Europe about plans for the game here.

Game Republic work pretty fast and efficient.

Router · (11-05-2007, 02:41 PM)

I hate these games. The fact that every second down loadable game is one makes me hate them even more.

Geo Wars excluded for fear of being torn limb from limb by the fans.

Did you just bump this thread with a bigass post of the EXACT SAME INFO as the first post of the thread?

pswii60 · (11-05-2007, 03:29 PM)

Before I get excited for this, has anyone played their first PSN game (on the JP store), Toy Home?

I was slightly excited for it, until I saw the trailer on GT, and realised that in motion it looks every bit as bad as Mad Tracks on XBL.

No, looks better than that. From memory I think the graphics were Capcom or NeoGeo level.

I'd rather there be something other than shooters and racing games to buy on PSN! I can't play shooters and I have enough racing games/demos! Why every dev and their mom thinks "simple downloadable game" = shooter is beyond me! >_<; Make a simple old fashioned rpg or platformer ffs!

lupin23rd · (11-08-2007, 03:41 AM)

Any word on this sucker coming to North America? Not sure if I should "import" (

)

I was going to see if it was up and if there were any promo movies on it, but it seems I have to do the 2.0 firmware update now.

kassatsu · (11-08-2007, 05:24 AM)

It is up, 800yen. Anyone pick it up?

That was out of the blue.

Went to download the Winning Eleven demo and saw it was there. Wish there was a demo for it or something =\

bran · (11-08-2007, 06:13 AM)

I would download it for 800yen if Sony would take my damn Canadian monies.....

PSN cards are too expensive.

The Cotton series, maybe?

duckroll · (11-08-2007, 01:22 PM)

So... no impressions yet? No demo no sale. :(

The Take Out Bandit · (11-08-2007, 02:13 PM)

I have no idea what's going on here; but I'm excited!

antiloop · (11-08-2007, 02:36 PM)

Soooo, who will buy and give us interested impressions? :)

vercity82 · (11-08-2007, 02:38 PM)

If my update downloads anytime this century i will grab it and let you guys know what i think and take some pics with my phone

sillywilly · (11-08-2007, 04:49 PM)

I downloaded it last night. Only played with it for about 10 min as it was getting late.

There are a few different types of attacks. Bombs are limited to 2 per level. Special attacks take about 2 second to charge after each used. They can be leveled up and will allow you to use multiple times before each charge.

Normal Attack: arrows
Special 1: reflecting arrows - bounce when a wall is hit
Special 2: spread arrows - wide but short range
Special 3: projectile - short and narrow range but powerful
Bomb: can be used twice per level

Levels are somewhat like the original Zelda on NES. You are presented with one room at a time. Sometimes there are locked doors and you will have to find keys just like in Zelda. Sometimes items would pop up once the monsters are cleared in a room.

Monsters and bosses are so far repetitive in my 10 min of play. Hopefully that will change.

So far I feel it's worth the 800yen. Looking forward to put more time into it.
