Awesomeness, they are using the term "vertizontal" in the article!

Yes, really amazing, for a shooting noob like me. Hope you liked and enjoyed translating my article. ^_^

Best Regards

I didn't mean it in any offensive kind of way, I was just surprised to see the term there, no matter who wrote the article.

Don't worry, haven't understood it that way. It's just funny, cause we met us at the beta session.

Looks like you still didn't get my comment then.
I'm not surprised that you use that term, I'm surprised to see the term printed in a magazine, because I would've never expected it nowhere from noone.

[Super Laydock]

soundsawesome, too bad I don't own a Neo Geo

DREAMCAST PORT!

this!

But aint buying it blindly this time.
It better be good & right the first time.

They should release a demo with a playable stage 1 rom and an emulator driver for Final Burn Alpha, or some other NEO-GEO emu with less crazy rules than MAME.

AH well. Okay then, you're welcome

I agree that this is a cool idea, though if their protection especially relies on encrypted ROM then they may not want to release a plaintext build.

Of course without any decryption.

[Ex-Cyber]

I'd be a bit surprised if they went with ROM encryption as the main thrust of their protection scheme anyway; it's a lot of effort and it's really easy to screw it up. It's hard enough coming up with a good encryption system when it doesn't have to cope with random accesses in a matter of nanoseconds.

1024 megs eh? that won't just be for graphics, also I thought the limit was around 720 mbits.

it'd actually be really cool if someone made a vertical shooter on MVS that required a tated monitor.

It can go higher than 720 mbits, actually there is really no limit. It just depends on the banking system used to handle the data. Kinda like how those 100-in-1 carts work for graphics. This is why they need to use their own CHA and PROG boards for this game.

There is no way this cart is going to cost less than $150 with custom prog and cha PCBs.

Also as far as tate, I wish they would program it where the tate would be selectable vertizontal or vert. That'd be tops.

[ROBOTRON]

Although I have 2 Neo-Geo's, I'm hoping for a dreamcast port. I could not explain away a $700 dollar Neo cart in our current budget.

[lilmanjs]

the music for the trailer is good and the gameplay looks solid. at least this time you can see the bullets clearly in the first version of the game. who is doing the music?

[Dragoforce]

Rafael dyll?

[lilmanjs]

Rafael dyll?

I thought he did the music for Söldner-X 2. but who knows.

[RHE]

The music is by Cjoe, who's also known from the Dynamite Disco DUX remix on the standalone soundtrack.

that's one great remix and the music from the video is killer as well.

Well I don't have an MVS system, but this looks quite nice.

[lilmanjs]

I do hope sometime down the line, some home ports are made of this game. it looks to be a very enjoyable game.

[sven666]

credit where credit is due, this game looks great!

pretty sure that's the only plan of release for now [according to the trailer]. Gotta' say, I want this one.

[MrPopo]

Looks pretty good. Too bad I only have an AES and no converter.

[Jack Burton]

Wow! I wouldn't mind getting this one.

Now I'm curious about the price.

[Animaitor]

Same here... is there any reason to release the game only on MVS?

By the way, the game looks great! Can't believe it runs on a Neo Geo. Good job!!

[Udderdude]

It looks pretty interesting so far. Unfortunately, I don't have any plans to spend $$$ on the PCB, so unless it gets ported ..

I assume it's so they can sell to arcade operators.

[ex.machina]

Interesting but the platform doesn't interest me. Bring it to PSN or Xbox Live instead.

[Ghegs]

Really does look nice. I guess the Color-mode was ditched completely in favour of the Novice-mode?

I'm curious (and a bit worried) about the shields...looks like the collectible items fill up a gauge, which, when full, gives you a new shield. And yet there's still extends separately. I couldn't really figure out how all that worked, seemed like you can lose a life even with shields in stock. But it's also possible to lose just a shield. Need to check it closer when I get home.

"In-System Software Updates via USB Port" - sounds nice 'n high-tech and does alleviate some of the concerns about ending up with a game that gets better revisions down the road on other systems. Online ranking with a password is pretty nice, too.

So, how much?

[DEL]

MVS will be fine for me. I have a 1 Slot.
Might have to wait for the price to go down first though...
