Notas:

- Hay que recordar que en la filas de 5PB está Masaki Sakari, un ex-miembro de Data East, como apuntamos aquí: [ > ].

- Nos dice (y nos muestra) Famitsu Dot Com que etará lleno de posibilidades de 'bonus' ocultos, a semejanza de los clásicos ochenteros (estarán pensando en Star Force, supongo).

- El área activa ocupa las mismas proporciones que las conversiones de los juegos de monitor vertical (ni siquiera llena el alto de la pantalla), lo que parece implicar que se le sacará el mejor partido a 480 x 640. Lo único que mosquea es la situación de los marcadores. Está claro que han pretendido hacer un 'arcade' doméstico, en todo caso; una iniciativa a aplaudir.

I agree wholeheartedly. That was the first thing that struck me. It is ridiculous to not use the screen's entire vertical length. The only way I could justify it is if they are planning to convert the game to the arcades, or the Wii, or to the Dreamcast lol.

Also, the anime art looks cheap and trashy. Apart from that it looks okay -- more promising anyway than most other cheap straight-to-console shooters of late.

It's 5pb's promised original shooting game for 360, with illustrations by Akio Watanabe and musics by Kenji Itou and release date for next winter:


Notes:

- Keep in mind that among 5pb's lines is Masaki Sakari, a former member of Data East, as we pointed here: [ > ].

- Famitsu Dot Com tells (and shows) us that it'll be filled with hidden bonus chances, in the likeness of the eighties' classics (they may be thinking about Star Force, I guess).

- The active area takes up the same proportions as the conversions of the vertical monitor games (it doesn't even fill the screen's height), which seems to imply that they'll make the most of 480×640. The only suspicious thing is the markers' location. It's clear that they've intended to do a home arcade, in any case; an initiative to applaud.

The major thing I'd like to see them address is to actually make the bullet souls do something.. anything... Contribute to a multiplier or hyper gauge, give an end stage bonus or help to trigger special hidden bonuses in stage. Wall to wall bullet cancelling is fun and all, but at least give some sort of incentive to doing it (outside of it acting like a glorified bomb).

No more details available at the moment.

I like that they call it a "shooter" and not a "shmup", like the Cave trailers. The latter make the games sound cheap.
