BATTLE GAREGGA REV.2016 (M2)

Post by GSK »

http://www.famitsu.com/news/201609/06114656.html

Just like the title says, M2 is releasing a "rev.2016" version of Battle Garegga as part of their new "M2 ShotTriggers" initiative. There's not a lot of info beyond that--price, platforms, what these "revisions" entail, etc--but there's more info in the mag so we'll know something before long. (Dangun Feveron is part of their new ShotTriggers label and it's confirmed for PS4, so that's a safe bet.)

Saw this a few minutes ago on Twitter and was just about to ask if it was what it looked like, so thanks for confirming. I'm amazed that M2 managed to get the rights to do something like this - really opens up the possibilities for what else could be in store.

My thoughts exactly, especially with M2 creating the "ShotTriggers" tag, likely to be more on the way in time....

I've been hype for this the past week after KevinDDR and Eaglet told me about it.

When it comes to the game itself and the UI they've thought about exactly everything.

Amazing. Can't wait to see what else M2 has in store. I'm so glad these guys are around, absolutely best company to handle these kinds of console ports.

(I'm all honesty, I'm one of the Garegga non-fans, but I'm willing to start over on a clean slate if I get a PS4 version)

I'm not sure if this is worth buying a PS4 for but I'm definitely considering it now.

It looks like M2 is going to start delivering some serious shmup releases on PS4 (what with Ubusuna and Feveron already confirmed), so yeah, considering.

I'll bet my bottom dollar they include a rank reset option in there.

My qualms I stated in the other Garegga thread have been fixed. Godspeed, M2.

Suddenly the thing you said the other day makes more sense, Eaglet :P Guess this will be the kick in the pants I need to upgrade my stick to one of those Brook boards. Can't wait to check this version out and hopefully raise my scores some more.

I wonder if all of that diagnostic info will be available in score attack mode; the boss timer and item drop order both seem especially interesting to have on-screen.

EDIT: Also, I know it's just a mockup/temporary, but that score counter has 9 digits... :lol:

awesome, i cant wait for this. any details/ideas about the port? I know M2 is known for quality, but I wonder if they'll be retooling the Saturn port, MAME-ing it, or porting the code from the original PCB?

IIRC, the Saturn port has a frame less of input lag, so it would be neat if they retained that. If they were porting the code from the pcb I'd be especially excited, since it could mean Batrider and Bakraid are in the wings...

The real question: Will they make it an ~arcade accurate~ port and include input lag, or will we get an ez modo version without it?

I legit yelled "NO FUCKING WAY" when I read this!

Based M2, you got me. I'm getting a PS4 once this drops.

haha, yeah, I knew there was a reason I bought this PS4 last year...

anyone in Tokyo planning to go to that Garegga talk? Really wish I was still there and could go. I wonder who the "special guests" are... Raizing staff perhaps?
