Folks, I've never played or seen these games, but I did my research. Now please help me understand: Is there a reason to buy the previous version instead of/together with Infinite burst?

Nope. Infinite Burst is the better and more complete game.

[HydrogLox]

If you're only going to get one then get Infinite Burst - but it doesn't include the vanilla version as such. So any "completionist" is going to want both.

Read BulletMagnet's comparison for a sense of the differences between the two: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.ph ... 4#p1024984

It's not happening

I've played a whole lot of this one because of us helping with PR, and I currently have 501million on Caravan Mode with Loop. Really fun in my opinion.

Well, while the game is out on steam a bit earlier than it should have, the discount for those that own the original Bullet Soul is now applied.

http://blog.degigames.com/shmup/bullet- ... oop-guide/ I wrote up a guide on a bit of the mechanics of Caravan Mode for those who want to try to get a good score for the contest. I hit 501m not long before the release, so I know a little bit about it. (JP players are still going to crush me when they start hitting the PC version.)

Been a while since I played IB on 360, did that version not allow you to enter initials for score ranking either? I just get the prompt with 5PB already filled in when I finish a high score run, with no ability to edit initials despite everything necessary being right there....

Erase the 5PB entry using the BACK button, clearing the way for your own initials.

Thanks to Degica and the shmups forum members for collaborating to make this happen!

Thanks, Frenetic.

Watching the STG Weekly #126 right now. I think the game is great fun. Really enjoying it.

Does anyone know if it's possible to not have the dialog popups when starting and closing the game? I'm trying to run it from a frontend, but the Fullscreen etc box at start and the "really close" at exit really messes this up.
