Ipad apparently has fillrate problems so that some the games that run 60FPS on 3GS don't run at 60FPS on Ipad in double scaled mode.

For what it's worth Espgaluda II seems to run just fine on my iPad in double scaled mode.

Well Ketsui didn't run on PS2 and this game is far more advanced than Ketsui so I seriously doubt this would run on Saturn. Seriously, have you watched any gameplay footage of the game? The amount of stuff on screen is ridiculous.

I think that was more of a programming issue. The trouble games have all been fixed via updates and many of them worked just fine out of the gate.

Also, some early iPad games were updated with higher framerates.

Cave did say something about the whole RAM stuff in the latest Edge

Do you think the iPad would be a more interesting platform to develop arcade-style shooters for?

We already have users who are requesting that we develop a shooter for the iPad, but we need to study the platform further to see what can be done and how. There is the issue of whether todevelop a game especially for it. Plus, we already see a few technical obstacles, again with the amount of memory. Only Apple can solve that one.

And yet according to wiki, there's a DS version? Something screwy here.

Fine I'll take your word for it. Just pointing out this is a very old genre and sprite engines are generally considered to have been near-perfected for quite a while. It's just hard to accept the idea that there's any modern hardware that couldn't handle this game.

Do they actually do native HD assets for 360 versions?

the DS version is a boss rush, it's not the full game.

Fine, I'll leave you people to your shooters. But if they want me to buy they have to make an HD iPad version. Which I know is possible. Out.

How is an HD iPad version possible when iPad isn't even an HD display?

How, exactly, is saying I think the game looks good shitting up the thread? I think you're doing more harm than good yourself.

The screen is a bit busier in Dodonpachi, but it's not a night and day difference.
Click to expand...

i think you need to actually go play Dodonpachi DFK because there's a hell of a lot more going on than in RSG. A HELL of a lot more.

Video reminds me how excited i am for this and the X360 version. Bring it on.

So will it come out at midnight JST?

I hear the download's a little over 300MB.
Click to expand...

I wonder what would account for a nearly 300% increase in size over Espgaluda II? I figured since this was another arcade port it'd be similar in size or smaller (especially since this game came out in '97 according to Wiki, while Esp II came out '05).

Isn't that nearly an hour ago? Or do you mean tomorrow at midnight JST? If I remember correctly Espgaluda came out during GMT night, which can't be JST midnight... Stupid timezones :(

EDIT: oh shit.

Well for starters, it has two soundtracks included. The original version for Arcade and an arranged version for iPhone mode.

So then it's not like a significantly larger/longer game or anything then? Hmm. Guess I'll see when I get it! Maybe there's a lot more FMV or something.

To be honest, I can't talk about the length of the game because I'm playing one credit games and I've only reached stage 4 so far ;)

Stage 4 is haaaaard. I can reach it in iPhone and Arcade mode, but those spinning lasers really get me. There is some extra lifeage on that stage, but I'm really hitting a brick wall in spite of that.

Have they added limited continues this time? That was one thing about Espgaluda 2 that bothered me. I know you could artificially limit yourself, but I like being challenged with limited continues that force you to improve if you want to complete the game.

Bah, I thought it will be on the german store the same time it releases on the japanese. And there's only ¥100 left on my account grawh...

On a side note:
Espgaluda II gives me a white screen when I try to access Open Feint. Anybody else ever experienced this and solved it?

EDIT: Never mind, I just reinstalled it and it's working now.

Remember that this iPhone game is Dodonpachi Ressurection - the Western version of Dodonpachi Dai Fukkatsu and this game hit the arcades in 2008.

It was the simply Dodonpachi that came out in 1997.

The iPhone game is the 5th in the DonPachi series starting from 1995.

The game hits at midnight in your country.

No messing with crazy timezones. Just midnight, wherever you are.

Alright so on my MacBook I just changed my iTunes store to the Japanese store and DoDonPachi is there after a search.

I've got £15 GBP credit on my iTunes account.

Can I buy the Japanese version and it sync to my iPhone and it work properly??

Or do I just wait a few more hours for the UK release??

I think you need credit on the Japanese store (and maybe another account?) so that might not work anyways. Just wait a few hours.
