I'm not sure if any of the Treasure games are for shooter purists considering most of them had with problems with balancing & polishing. What they never lack is dazzling display of creativity (especially with their boss battles), adrenaline induced gameplay and unique sense of style.

Day one for this one!! Treasure Love <3 <3

Great news. I'm definitely in the camp that liked RS over the too-tightly structured Ikaruga.

lol what? RS is way more tightly structured than Ika. If you don't actively chain and play for score in RS, your weapons will be too weak to kill later bosses within their time limits.

Well, I guess it's time to get a 360.

Yeah, this is exactly what popped into my head while I read the thread title.

Maybe I'm OCD or something, but Ikaruga felt claustrophobic with its light/dark thing more than RS' system. I jumped in and clicked with RS' design instantly where Ikaruga was just constantly feeling like I had to restrain my shooter tendencies all of the time. I just could never 'zone in' with Ikaruga. Maybe I'll give it another shot this week...it's been years since I've played it.

Great news. I'm definitely in the camp that liked RS over the too-tightly structured Ikaruga. Love the music, love the game though there are lots of things they could do to improve the experience over the original Saturn game. At this rate, Guardian Heroes, Gunstar Heroes, Alien Soldier, and Silhouette Mirage are going to get their turn on modern consoles with the magic of DD channels before the gen's up.

Good to see that I'm not the only one who prefered RS over Ika... thought Ika was a bit too puzzle-based... if you ignored trying to score and just played for survival, RS 'felt' better... not to mention while Ika is very subdued (which some people seem to like), RS is balls-out epic. What an awesome Sakimoto score

Really happy to see this coming to a modern console, let's hope they revisit and fix the game balance and "level up" systems.

Ikaruga is damn close to what I'd call a perfectly designed game. Silvergun is a far cry from it. (On the other hand, even though I'd say that Gradius V is probably "better designed" than Silvergun, I have more fun with the latter.)

Yes, the game that *punishes* you for playing for survival instead of score is the one that *feels better* for playing for survival instead of score. That makes perfect sense.

Even though I shit on Silvergun all the time in these threads I'm still probably going to pick this up. Shamefully, the prospect of achievements might actually give me the needed motivation to play this game the "right" way.

Well there goes Treasure's secret RSG Ebay revenue.

Trust me, you're not alone.

 

[MechaX]

Wow. Awesome.

Panzer Dragoon Saga next, please.

The internet would suffer a total meltdown if that ended up happening.

 

[aktham]

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

My thoughts exactly

 

[duk]

XBLA rulezzzz

 

[Raistlin]

Time to get a 360.

Goddamit do not tempt me to buy a 360

etc.

[bumpkin]

About frickin' time!

As for all the ebay scalpers who have been charging an arm and a leg for a copy, I've got two words for ya...

Now if only the planets would align -- and hell would freeze over -- maybe we'd see Panzer Dragoon Saga on XBLA.

 

[jetjevons]

Not possessing of the bullet hell dodging/pattern memorization skills some of you must enjoy I have top say I greatly prefer RS over Ikaruga.

Power-up retention FTW.

PDS would require much more of a visual overhaul to be palatable in this day and age. I wouldn't count on that happening ever.

 

[mjemirzian]

Good game from a technical and scoring standpoint, but very noob unfriendly and extremely precise. I think your average gamer will find Ikaruga to be more fun.

 

[woodypop]

DEEP FEAR! lol that game has worse voice acting than first RE!

Did that get an English translation in PAL territories? Or did you trudge through it in Japanese? (That's the only thing keeping me from playing it more.)

Wanna Shmup , you ante up !

You will need a 360 now , Japanese preferred for all that shooting candy !

Batsugun! I still need to add that one to my collection.

 

[mattp]

the irony in this for me is that, i STILL have to pay 200 bucks if i wanna play radiant silvergun because i don't have an xbox

 

[adversesolutions]

 

[nexen]

YES YES YES YES YES YES

I know it wont live up to the hype, but I've been dying to play this game forever.

 

[Host Samurai]

IDK about you guys but a new Guardian Heroes game with 4 player online coop would rock my fucking world. GH is one series that more people need to experience.

 

[hipgnosis]

Perfect :lol

 

[BruiserBear]

It's a little disappointing we still don't have a release date for this. :/

That's what I thought your bump was going to reveal

I am with you...between this and Guardian Heroes I am sold.

 

[toythatkills]

Yeah. And two people bumping two threads at the same time. Fuck that. It was like a co-ordinated attack to disappoint people!

 

[Yes Boss!]

Boo on the bad bump!

Cruel Bump is cruel.

 

[PepsimanVsJoe]

I just wanna stab you until you bleed and then keep stabbing until you're not bleeding anymore.

[jufonuk]

comes into thread , wooo the release Date is here yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay.....**dancing**



Wait what???

[Theonik]

Why must you be so cruel? :'(

 

[BruiserBear]

The question needed to be asked.


The achievements were revealed nearly two months ago, and yet still no date. It's also not even part of the "summer of arcade", which makes me wonder if it might release before that.

Or maybe Microsoft is being cruel and wants to hold it til the holiday season.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

I'm pretty sure, we won't see a release until the end of august. But at the same time 3rd strike is coming out.

Summer of arcade begins next week, so no.

Yep it's probably late August/September. I guess we can speculate based on what releases after summer of arcade since i don't think we know much about these slots.

If that's the case August is going to be a big month for me rebuying games I already own.

 

[Muchi Muchi Pink]

But atm you can't play the 'secret' Ikaruga style mode.

Edit: Last Summer of Arcade game is Toysoldiers: Cold War august 17th. After this we should get 3rd strike and rsg as both are marked 'summer 2011'.

Thin ice Jr (need release date!!).

According to Games Radar, 3S:OE is already dated for August 24th
