Revolver 360 is a 3d horizontal shooter that will be out around May.

-Game development is only 30%
-it is a horizontal scrolling, but you can move in a sort of 360 motion
-So far the scoring system is a laser that cancels bullets
-The game will not cost more than 240 points

This reminds me of a couple games. For one, Paper Mario for the Wii, but also that PS3 or PSP (forgot which one? PSP I guess?) game where you have to climb some tower and you move in a 2D environment but you can rotate the camera around to make certain elements become part of the foreground, side or background, therefore making impossible jumps, possible.

maybe the wrong forum but hopefully you can help out. I always shy away from shmup games (and threads for that matter) because they are usually punishingly difficult. I love most other genres but have never gotten into this particular one. I own a PS3, a 360 and a PS2. Any recommendations for a beginner? Thanks in advance!

Try Ikaruga and Triggerheart Exelica on XBLA, both great games.

Castle Of Shikigami 2-PS2
Omega5-XBL
And that German Name SHMUP for the PSN(Forgot the name, lol)

Those 3 games are not that hard.

Did you just recommend Ikaruga to a beginner? A bit sadistic, don't you think? :lol

I'd say go with a PC game Tyrian (presuming you have a PC). It's fun, not very hard, and it's free, but I'm not sure how it runs on today's PCs.

Or you could get Taito Legends 2 for your PS2, there are some good classic examples of the genre on it.

Neither. Echocrome is quite different too, even if it also plays with rotating the camera to bring stuff closer to you.

I just can't remember the goddamn name of the game I was talking about :(

It really isn't. An Ikaruga 1CC isn't ridiculously difficult when compared to most other current shooters.

That sounds exactly like Fez but it's a XBLA game.

That's because most current shooters are bullet hell shooters designed to satisfy the hardcore (because, sadly, that's the only audience that's left). I would suggest none of those to a beginner, Ikaruga included.

IMO Bullet-hells are a helluva lot easier than quite a few of the "classic" shooters.

Yeah and Ikaruga might be an easy 1CC on the easy setting but your score will suck for a long time until you painstakingly memorize every inch of the game. Not sure how something like that can be recommended to beginners.

I'm not sure what else you'd suggest. None of those old shooters are very easy to 1CC either.

They're designed to be replayed. And replayed. And replayed. Even the earliest ones.

Playing for score is overrated.

And it's not like 75% of the other shooters out there aren't equally anal when it comes to a scoring system.

Tyrian and many other Western shoot 'em ups really aren't. There's quite a difference in design philosophies between Japanese and Western shmups, mostly thanks to the fact that Japanese shooters used to be designed for arcades first and foremost. Their Western counterparts, however, were often developed for home computers (and later PCs) only. Not that some of them weren't hard as well, but on average, I'd say they were quite a bit easier.

Compared to modern bullet hell games, classic shooters were definitely simpler, if not exactly easier. Less emphasis on bullet patterns, no need to learn bullet deflection and other similar stuff, less complex scoring systems... For the most part it was just shoot, collect weapons and avoid being hit.

Bumping thread for the evening crowd. This is what HUU said on the SHMUPS forums

HUU said:
Thx again for the comments !I talked with kuroro today ... and I got some news.He is working on different bullet pattern (in the video there was only 1type of pattern) and also some level design will change...At this point, he is testing many things ... so more definitive changement are coming.I asked him for a screenshot , so we can see the graphic better (the screenshot is still from the game at 30% development)

From that screenshot, it looks like homeboy went a little "Bloom" crazy. Hopefully, is just a bad screenshot. Regardless, I'm getting this day one.
