Ketsui Coming to PS4 ?!

Platform unannounced but it looks like it might be available for PS4 given the track record for M2.

That discussion, strangely enough, is "interlaced" here:

It's probably better to keep separate game discussions in separate threads. Personally, as an owner of the PS3 port, this does not excite me at all.

I'll admit, I would have preferred M2 tackle something like Progear, Armed Police Batrider, Dodonpachi, or maybe even Cyvern first. I own a Japanese 360 and 5PB's port of this. But after experiencing the high quality of M2's Garegga and Dangun ports I'm more than happy to see them tackle Ketsui.

I'm not entirely pleased with the 360 port of this game (IMO, you need an external scanline generator to make it look decent on a HD monitor) so I'm looking forward to seeing what M2 can do to one of the best shmups of ll time.

Wasn't Progear super-problematic because of Capcoms role and license status?

I thought that might be the case, Capcom would need a cut of the likely miniscule profit that this would make. I think the main issue would be whether it'd be worth it for M2 at that point. Still, it's nice to dream

Capcom let Progear feature as a DLC ship in Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours, so a port by M2 isn't entirely out of the question.

Actually what you need is to let the ingame picture size at default, turn any smoothing off, then zoom the picture using either a TV which has decent overscan settings (and drop the sharpness maybe), or an external scaler like a DVDO.
Looks perfect.
Same for DOJ Extra, PS/MMP, Guwange etc, every Cave shooter that didn't receive at least a bit of a HD treatment.

I'll have to give this a try. I figured there was some good display setting advice somewhere on these forums, I just couldn't find it until now.

I think it's somewhat interesting that Ketsui's platform(s) are undetermined, while Garegga and Feveron were announced as PS4 exclusives. Perhaps M2 is working on spreading the love?

I would be fine with just PS4 8)

So we can expect Ketsui sometime early 2018? I think Dangun Feveron was announced september 2016

Probably because this one is such a fan favourite that it would make perfect sense to port it to more than one platform. Would love to see it on PS4, Switch and Steam :D
Oh, and don't forget some sweet n nasty DRM just to piss off a certain individual :twisted:
Looking forward to it!

Hope this game has the option of being able to access the second loop at any time as well as continuing on Doom.

It's so cool that M2 is doing this series! There's no such thing as too much Ketsui. These releases are really great with all of the options and arranges. I'm going to pick up every one that they release just to support them so that they can keep going with the shotriggers series.

Still no release date, but they showed/talked about several elements at the Cave Matsuri, the biggest being the includion of IKD's 2007 Cave Matsuri arrange (blue) as DLC--it's playable at today's matsuri, so search "IKD Special" or "イケスペ" over the next few days and you might get some footage.

They're also putting this one out on a disc, for those who consider that a make-or-break.

They really need to put out Dangun Feveron on disc. Glad to see Ketsui is coming though.

Never had a chance at Ketsui yet. Maybe I'll get a chance if I ever get a PS 4.

Re: Progear - It always surprised me that Capcom and Cave couldn't get their shit together (or whatever the reason was) for a Dreamcast release. Especially considering how many CPS 2 games are on the DC.

Hopefully they can license the X-mode from 5pb's version. That is so good.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

Progear on the DC is an interesting thought experiment. Perhaps it would end up remembered as a respected but still niche STG (that's crazy expensive like Mars Matrix and Giga Wing 2), or maybe it could have been a huge hit (for the Dreamcast) that put Cave on the map for Western gamers.

Like, imagine if Joe Destiny-loving-sixpack knew about Cave and arcade STGs from playing Progear no Arashi instead of oh, I don't know, Deathsmiles.

I think it would have been all those things.

Progear on the DC could have massively changed how the company was perceived here back then. When I first saw it the art (especially the tanks) reminded me of Metal Slug.

LOL. I knew about Cave and was not even hardcore back in the day. Donpachi and Dodonpachi were released in the States in Arcades. Many people did import the console versions on PSX and Saturn long before Pro Gear was ever released. But I get it. He means a USA proper console release that could of built a cult status earlier.
