I love that title screen & that cab.

I wonder if Emphatic was involved in Ghost Blade's testing phase - I suspect so, I hope so & which would be very cool.
Would be interested in any impressions.

Is it any good mate? Hehehe
Yep, really looking forward to Ghost Blade.

They've thrown out the new trailer. Gameplay, lots of it, and not in a tiny window. Looking like this could be good.

Been waiting a long time to see this game in action, on a normal sized screen.

It looks like it might be the real deal.
You're sure to be in a fine haze about now, but don't think too hard about all of this. Just go out and kill a few beasts. It's for your own good. You know, it's just what hunters do! You'll get used to it.

It not being any of the programers actual day jobs.

I’m kinda excited for a new game, it seems very straightforward. The aesthetics seem nice, so as long as there are decent patterns and good music, I can see myself considering the purchase.

It needs to have more, far more playtesting than NeoXYX did. Decent menu configurations and screen adjustments would be a huge plus.

AFAIK, they had to switch programmer. Not sure people who know how to program games for the DC grow on trees.

I think the original programmer ditched because of some bad shit going on in his homeland.

So this fucking game then.
They're trying to send it out, and of course it's taken that long that the credit card had expired, which has alerted my bank to possible fraudulent activity...

Bitching about a game delay is one thing, but blaming them because your card expired and you didn't bother to update the info is silly. You are responsible for your finances, regardless of how long a pre-order that you kept open takes.

Agreed. I know opinions are hit or miss with Hucast/NGD but I've enjoyed most of their releases and nothing beats the feeling of getting a fresh new shmup in a retail package these days. Looking forward to digging in.

I've only purchased two games from them (Fast Striker and Gunlord) and both are excellent. Hopefully this one follows suit.

Said feeling is multiplied when that new game is on the DC. I was thinking the other day how great it was when I received Sturmwind:

The Wife: You have a package. It's from Deutchland.

Me: OH YEAH.

People that are only seeing the good side of Hucast and feel nothing but positivity towards them probably didn't buy/play the numerous versions of dux and redux... Plus neo xyx and its various problems after such long waits...

This is 100% true. I will do business with them until they give me a reason not to. Goes for any company really.
