Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
Caladrius Blaze (PS4) is on sale for $20.99: https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/ ... DRIUSBLAZE
Might be PS+ only tho, I dunno. Either way, it's a great game.

Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
I did look at that in the sale but I remembered hearing that the port/emulation was really shabby so I held off. Is that not the case?

I don't know, but I took the risk anyway. The price is very good.clippa wrote:I did look at that in the sale but I remembered hearing that the port/emulation was really shabby so I held off. Is that not the case?
Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
It's dotemu so chances are it's garbage. I'll never support them for the past history anyway.

I got the Steam version of TSS for free since I already bought the humble SNK bundle. Framerate is around 55-57 and internet play is laggy.

Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
Yeah, in my experience, the TSS steam port was piss on release since the slowdown wasn't included, later on, its now included, so its salvageable (in short, it works fine). Not much options in the steam port either (not even a separate button for auto fire like the AES and most ports had, since you know, its going to hurt your fingers unless your controller has a dedicated auto-fire button, though at the possible risk of not using the charge shots), but other than that, there's sound issues like some (if not most) Dotemu ports, but the online versus is fine, unless you're playing someone closer to your region then someone far.

Thanks all, my money's staying in my pocket. I'll stick with the mame version.
I was going to pick up the three metal slug games that were on there as well during the sale but a quick google says that they're all really badly emulated too. DotEmu again.

Caladrius on sale for about $6 and change (and/or regional equivalent) on X360 digitally. Sale period: 12/15/16 - 1/4/17
Raiden V on X1 digitally also on sale (or rather, price change?) $50 -> $30US (also regional equivalent, though yeah, it was $25 before once from a previous sale.)
Caladrius Blaze (JP PSN) is also part of this sale too. Sale period: 12/15/16 - 1/10/17 (Though there's already the superior PS4 version anyways.)

Since I am not a Gold Member I could take advantage of the Caladrius on X360 deal. How is the game and how is the X360 version compared to others?NeoStrayCat wrote:Caladrius on sale for about $6 and change (and/or regional equivalent) on X360 digitally. Sale period: 12/15/16 - 1/4/17

Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
Its fairly good, since it usually makes most of the Elemental Shot system, and the gothic horror theme.
You start with 3 characters, 1 unlockable, and 2 are DLC (though they are cheap, lol.), each has their own elemental shots and stuff. And the game is fine tuned to to use E-S's to accute the scoring system.
Either way, the 360 version is already for an entry way version. (Though Caladrius Blaze on the PS3/PS4 is a better version with 2 more characters and some extra stages.) Though as mentioned before in the forum, the digital overseas English release of Caladrius for X360 is toned down on its fanservice and stuff. But not really a problem.
Regardless, its alright.

Xmas Shooting - Scramble!! launched on Steam today and has a 10% off launch deal. It looks very similar to QP Shooting - Dangerous!!, which is from the same developers and takes place in the same universe. It also comes with a bonus character for 100% Orange Juice, which is how I heard of this game.

Re: The shmups* sales/deals thread
The 360 version of Caladrius is still good, even if it's not as good as Blaze. It's the only way to play version 1.10, which is basically the same as Arcade Original. They never added that to the PS3/PS4 version for some reason.

http://store.steampowered.com/app/466820/ Zenodyne R once again is 75% off until January 2, so is Zenohell, existing customers who own one should be able to get either cheaper via one of the steam bundles.
