How exactly is Eschatos a substantial advancement from Judgement Silversword though? They have very similar mechanics and lots of similar enemy patterns. Eschatos improves on a lot of things but I don't see how people who played JSS could find it very fresh.

Not trying to hate on your idea or anything, I love all the Qute games so far. Hoping this new game is a worthy followup to Ginga Force, though I've always preferred vertical STG. Hopefully score attack/arcade mode is unlocked immediately this time so people aren't forced to grind through story if they dislike it.
imo the visual presentation of Eschatos is a step forward from other shooters w/r/t the camera angle switching, but I also think it bridges the gap between all types of shooters. Silversword feels strictly like its own brand of manic shooter, while Eschatos derives inspiration from Space Invaders, classic hori-style designer ships, and manic and bullet hell games, with a shield ability that cuts through everything and makes it feel fair and cohesive. It's a game that fans of any era of shooter could gel with, imo.

I guess I would say it's less restricted in scope than any other shooter. With Space Invaders and Galaga you're getting waves of simple enemies, with Raiden you're getting sniper shots, and with Cave you're getting slow-spreading bullet patterns. But with Eschatos you're really getting all these thing at different times, or getting them all at once. I'm not sure I've ever played a game that tries to pull from the entire scope of the genre, and I definitely haven't played a game that does it so cohesively.

I find it quite "amusing" that absolutely no screenshots have been shown anywhere about these games, yet we're seeing news of delays :?

either these new games will throw somethin completely out of this world upon us or be complete shit
yet I know it's gonna be the latter :?

Yeah. When your development is being subsidized and you know nobody is gonna play your game... why bother making it good :?

Just Ginga Force all over again:
  • Announced Release: 2012-08-30
  • Actual Release: 2013-02-14
  • Delay Reason: Addressing Quality issues.

.. and lets remember that Sakura Flamingo Archives did release on time - and people were not happy; ultimately it is the quality of the end product that counts.

So you can port it to a platform where people will play it? I know wishful thinking ...

It's a good thing that Qute isn't as apathetic as you. I don't know who was actually expecting Natsuki to release in spring. And SF Archives should indeed serve as a lesson about the value of a delay.

Getting Last_Dancer vibes from this thread. At least wait for the game to come out before going into port begging mode.

Delay is fine, it just gives me the time to grab the Eschatos records.

Qute knows what they're doing. Doubt they'll make a bad game honestly.

Considering that Natsuki is a sequel or side-story to Ginga Force and is likely to inherit its structure and base mechanics, I hope Qute removes the pointlessly annoying restrictions on weapon energy. It's not as if the game's bosses and big target enemies didn't have oodles of HP to begin with, and they take ages to kill even with the most powerful shots.

Welp, that's not good news, I mean, there's also hardly anything for "Shooting Love Trilogy" either, and I guess that's also still TBA whenever, but at least Raiden V has a release date.

So I'm a little confused... why is it that Xbone is getting all these shmups, do they sort of own these developers, cause I find it hard to believe that Moss as well as others are just willing to make games on a console that isn't doing to well in they're reigon.

In the previous generation of consoles, most shmups came out on the XBox 360. However, the XBox 360 was doing much better in Japan than the XBox One is.

The consensus now is that, indeed, Microsoft paid the developers to develop these games only for the XBox One. That was likely before its grim standing in the Japanese marketplace fully materialized.

Microsoft needs push harder for these games. And they should give Microsoft of Japan total control over their own territory. I heard that Xbox One roughly translates to "Once Divorced" in Japanese. So it sounds like Redmond is trying to run it all and they're doing very poorly.

Its a Chistmas miracle, lol. Its finally coming out, lol. Though kinda sad its digital only (and the price is a little rough, but hey, its been in dev limbo for a while), didn't expect it to have an overseas release too. (Now if we can just get Ginga Force in English in some way...)

Well I'll be damned. It'll be nice to finally play a truly new game by one of the great Japanese developers instead of just remakes or ports.

Also, it runs at 4K 60fps on Xbox One X? Nice bonus. (Saying that gives me flashbacks of Blazing Star..)

Bring on December 24th!

New Raiden game, Shooting Love trilogy and Natsuki Chronicle.


Seems xbox one is gonna be the console for shmups :/

I wonder what happened to Shooting Love Trilogy? Triangle Service is still kicking as Ga Sen Love was released on the Switch earlier this year.

If it's coming to the Microsoft Store, doesn't that mean you can get it on your PC? I recall my brother playing The Outer Worlds that way without using the Epic store...

the System Requirements page only lists Xbox One for Operating Systems, so I would guess not
