Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
It is currently April Fools Day in Japan, so I've already seen a few of those hit. Hopefully this isn't a joke, but we'll see!

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
I do remember when they did this last year. So maybe an outside chance it is real? Unless they just recycled the exact same joke again which would be weird.
Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
I heard that they copyrighted the name recently so it's probably legit.
Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
It would be a pretty elaborate April's fools joke if they release these news and trailers every 1st April, and then on like the fifth one they finally release it and when you receive it you realize it's not Sol cresta at all, it's Bayonetta 3.
Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Korean ratings board just rated it.
it's real.

Except that it's owned by Konami, and Konami hasn't done anything new with any of their franchises in the last 10 years besides that atrocious new Contra game from a year or two ago.SPM wrote:Man at this rate we could get gradius VI announced anytime haha

Those aren't real things. They get played by about 200 Japanese salarymen per year then sit in a warehouse and rot for the rest of eternity.BulletMagnet wrote:Monkey's Paw - it's a pachislot machine.

It would appear that a mobile title in which the power-up bar is governed by gacha mechanics would be more to your liking.

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Having to control multiple ships in shifting formations and still dodge bullets is a very intriguing gameplay mechanic...
Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
People who haven't played Terra Cresta should give it a shot. IMO as far as shmups from that era (that aren't Gradius 1) it holds up better than most. Even arcade staples like Toaplan and Capcom were just releasing their first titles around that time.
I can imagine it having a big impact when it came out, but then Nichibitsu didn't go on to do great things like Capcom or Konami and faded into relative obscurity.

Neither, actually. They both deserve special places in hell.BulletMagnet wrote:*next finger curls*MachineAres 1CC wrote:Those aren't real things.

This. Terra Cresta arcade is a really fun game and a little ahead of its time for how old it is. The NES port is a bit meh due to not having proper aspect ratio and room for dodging, but the arcade version is on Arcade Archives series now on PS4 and Switch.Rastan78 wrote:People who haven't played Terra Cresta should give it a shot.

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
I was playing Terra Cresta II on the PC Engine last weekend so it's good to see it's real. It's a fun series with a long history. Never had the opportunity to try the Saturn game. Anyone?
What's not good to see is another Japanese shmup ignoring Xbox again so I'll miss out this time. [Quiet Pang ] There's a lot of people moaning about it on the twitter and youtube posts so hopefully they'll listen and be more inclusive. Doubt it.
Granzella and City Connection [thumbs up]
Hamster, Platinum Games and M2 [big thumbs down]

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Let's just say it's not great. It's not offensively bad or anything, just pretty boring and doesn't really feel like the original.Astro City II wrote:Never had the opportunity to try the Saturn game. Anyone?
This is pretty typical, since it's the only console that doesn't originate from Japan and they're one of the slowest countries on the planet to get with the times on anything. They're as late to globalization of their products as they are to women's rights, in which they're ranked 2nd worst in the world, essentially.What's not good to see is another Japanese shmup ignoring Xbox again so I'll miss out this time.

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Terra Cresta 3D is notable for the fact that it is a shooter with no score. You destroy the enemy not to gain points but simply because you know it is the right thing to do!MachineAres 1CC wrote:Let's just say it's not great.

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Like Terra Cresta 3D, it has three ships, but Sol Cresta does it better with multiple unique formations and modular power from the order of ships from front to back. You basically have 6 unique formations based on close docking and 6 shape-based formations. That makes at least 12 weapon powers available to the player.Koa Zo wrote:Terra Cresta 3D is notable for the fact that it is a shooter with no score.

Yep, was confirmed real last April Fool's. Looking cool, I hope they make it an ongoing series. WTB Holy Warrior Amatsuhikone.

Re: Platinum Games announces Sol Cresta, Sequel to Terra Cre
Cresta is barely a coherent series. Also some games in the series are not called "Cresta", e.g. Dangar, which is very obviously a followup to Terra Cresta in a way that Terra Force really is not.
This game looks good though. They probably specifically tried to model it after Terra Cresta, because that's the right thing to do.

Honestly? It might actually happen at this point. That R-Type Final 2 interview dropped the shocking revelation that a Gradius VI really was planned and it wasn't just some empty announcement, but it was canceled after an extensive roundtable between Konami, Irem, and Taito. That same conversation eventually got us Dariusburst, and I guess that's also how the original R-Type Final 2 AFD happened.SPM wrote:Man at this rate we could get gradius VI announced anytime haha
