Nice nostalgic vibes, but they really need to fix up that screen border edge:
Looks like the DBCS CAVE DLC is landing next Thursday according to the official Twitter.

Looking forward to that Cave DLC.
Cloudphobia is on Steam!, here: http://store.steampowered.com/app/329340/
It seems incredible to me because I waited for years the game; it was blocked on Greenlight for unknow reasons so few years ago I bought on Desura as a DRM-free release.
Well, we all know the sad end of Desura so I jealously stored my backups because the only other way of buying it was via Yahoo Japan (boxed).
Fucking finally is arrived on Steam: good ending.
I reccomend it, especially at this price (6.99$/€ because it's a nice shooter, imo.

I'll get Cloudphobia up.
Also Super Galaxy Squadron EX has released their beta branch for the TURBO version of the game.
It comes with 3 new ships, new artwork, and a new game mechanic.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/345860/
You can try the new update by typing "tunnelsnakesrule" in the beta tab. Also, this update is FREE to owners of EX. New Blood are awesome.

Xydonia is going to be awesome, trust me.
I regret not backing this.
Battle Garegga comes out on the Japanese PSN store thus week. Get those funds ready!
Danny Dudekisser
I paid good money for this Dynex!
I've kinda lost interest in buying Battle Garegga PS4. Am I really petty enough to demand a disc? Yeah, kinda. It's not like I haven't paid my dues as far as shmup and M2 fandom goes.

Looks like they're having some problems with the DBCS DLC on PSN, and we might have to wait until Tuesday for it. I'm bummed since I have it on both consoles and was excited to play it today.
I wish they'd fix the controller mapping and replay issues on Dodonpachi Resurrection. I tried to get around it with the Big Picture Mode DS4 support and my Hori Real Arcade Pro 4, but the remapping only worked in the menu once, and had no effect at all in the game. Has anyone else had a good experience with the new Steam remapping feature and that game?

Question: What's the best version of Dariusburst CS? Been meaning to check that game out, but I dunno if it's preferable on the PC or the PS4. I've got a VLX Kuro that I can use for either, so controller differences are irrelevant to me.
The PC release is more flexible in terms how things are displayed: multi screen, forced SGSSAA via the driver for impeccable picture quality, 4K, the whole nine.
C91 is 2016/12/29, maybe a new trailer or trial. It wasn't released yet, dev blog looks active though, last updated 12/12.
They are all good versions, but the PC on tends to get updates quicker than by only a few days. Also, I've bee playing it at 5K on both my laptop and desktop. It really looks crisp on 4K TVs and PC monitors with downsampling.
I don't know if scoreboards are cross platform. I don't think they are. There could be more players to compete with on the console side.
Yeah. I kind of agree with you. I do enjoy them though. Powering up the Type-A and blasting hordes of enemies and have stars just pour out seems so satisfying. It's also fun trying to remember the right times to activate burst.
I'll say my least favorite out of the bunch seems to be Ketsui DLC. The ship just doesn't feel that fun to score with... Unless I'm missing out on how to properly utilize it.

I have both the Vita and PS4 versions, but the game has still has a high base price (and no physical version to get external site discounts from) so that's only advised when it's discounted. I play the Vita version a lot away from home, and the only real downside is how awful the AC mode is due to the scrunched screen. The PS4 version doesn't have dual monitor options, but is fine otherwise.
How is Windia in the Cave DLC? It's the only ship I haven't bought yet since I'm not a fan of DeathSmiles. I enjoy playing as the DeltaSword the most, but the Ketsui ship feels a bit weaker than it should be. What's worse is that it has no sound effect for taking damage, which can lead to a lot of unexpected trouble.
Keep in mind, the vita version also has no multiplayer. Kind of an important point to note, if you want co-op.
She pretty much plays like a Deathsmiles character. Two buttons for shooting left and right, collecting items from enemies based on which shot you kill them with, going into power up mode to raise your plus value, etc. There are a few concessions (like I don't think your plus value has any kind of cap) but it plays a LOT like Deathsmiles, down to the nitty gritty details.

There's a BUNCH of promising stuff on the horizon:

Caladrius Blaze for PC rated in Korea: http://www.grb.or.kr/Statistics/Pop...1cd5efa88df80cecd98f227eaeaf17ed258610ac557e8
Voted! Rym's visuals look a lot like what Cave Story would look like if it was a vertical scrolling shmup.
The description leads to a demo that can be found here. It also leads to sick af music. Shooting feels really good here.
shmups.com's twitter linked the comicket 91 video
http://edelweiss.skr.jp/info/c91pv/index.html
Seems like there's some new footage of Cambria Sword and Armed Dragoon. Infinos Gaiden looks to be the same trailer they released a couple of months ago.
There are a few other shooters in there that I've got to sift through.

I always get stuck with a black screen when I exit out of this game while in Big Picture mode. Anyone else?
How do I go about implementing this?
I usually only have this issue when I've tried fooling around with screenshots and trying to use shadow play during the game. Some times it happens when I alt+tab or just exit the game. I don't know if it's an issue with my desktop being set to native resolution while the game is downsampled or what.
DARIUSBURST CS doesn't require any special anti-aliasing compatibility bits. This is what I use:
Default, no AA*:
8x SGSSAA*
*1:1 crop from 1800p
Can't seem to get it to work. But I'm using DSR at 5K right now so the ships are pretty crisp as it is. I just was hoping that I could get some kind of 8K Clarity out of them.
I've got it currently looking like this.
I'm happy with this. Was hopping to get some kind of 8K or 12K clarity
Update: I actually was able to use a program called Custom Resolution Utility into tricking NVIDIA Control Panel into thinking my native resolution was 3840x2160 and was able to get a DSR resolution of 7680x4320. Here's the result:

The music sound damn amazing even at potato quality.
Also thinking of doing a Best of 2016 video for PC shmups. my list is currently at 20 something for notable releases for this year. I want to include them all but I'm thinking of only doing the top 10 or 15.

Not actually that important
Wow thanks for the heads up, was about to double dip on Strania (RIII and RIV don't work on my laptop, had to refund)

Raiden IV is kind of a shitty port, anyway... at least, as far as I recall. I bought it, played it once, and that was kind of enough. No offline mode is just an extra shitty bonus, I guess.

Hell yeah
Slowly double dipping (got the 360 ports)

If you've run out of games (that you'd actually install/play at least) to buy in the sale, definitely don't sleep on the Blue Revolver soundtrack. You get a generous amount of music for $5.35.

Hurricane of the Varstray is fun if you haven't bought it yet. They seem to have made the game a lot harder than at launch, so it's not as accessible as it was before.

Oh man, why buy the ZEALs separately? There's a sweet bundle of both including their soundtracks for less coin (9.99):Hell yeah

My top 10 choices for STGs released on PC in 2016 are:
(in alphabetical order)
Battle Crust
Blue Revolver
Deathsmiles
DoDonPachi
Mecha Ritz
RefRain
Sora
Trizeal
Trouble Witches
Valkyrius Prime
The DARIUSBURST DLC was fun.
Also games with heavy elements from the genre that I enjoyed.
FURI
RIVE
If I had to pick one winner it would be BLUE REVOLVER. Great scoring mechanics, tight controls, amazing music, great art direction, awesome replayability, and you can really feel the heart that they poured into this game. RefRain and Mecha Ritz are right behind it.
My most anticipated games for next year: Danmaku Unlimited 3, Caladrius Blaze, FinalBoss(???), 8ing DLC for DBCS

Yep... Took over a year, but finally.
Yeah... you're right. Caladrius Blaze is listed as a PC release on their website. You can also see it labeled on PS4 releases too. Damn, you'd figure this would have made the news in the SHMUP forums.
칼라드리우스 블레이즈 has PC next to it with TBA as a release date. It's going on the list.
While I'm glad it's finally getting a PC release, the fact that all screenshots are 720p points to another title with locked internal rendering res. :'(
