DEVIL BLADE REBOOT (SHIGATAKE GAMES) - coming to Steam
DEVIL BLADE REBOOT, by SHIGATAKE GAMES, a reboot of a 1996 Japan-only shmup, is coming to Steam.
The Steam page is now up:
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2882 ... DE_REBOOT/
The game is looking very promising. It should be worth keeping an eye on it.

This guy has been working on this game for longer than you might think:

A real passion project all the way from the Dezaemon days. I think it looks fantastic! I hope the finished product lives up to these initial impressions.

This game looks even more impressive than I thought it would be. Cant wait to play it.
In case someone wants to try the previous version of Demon Blade, its available on Dezaemon Plus Select 100 for the PS1

Looks great! Though, as a friend of mine says, it's a real shame it isn't including an actual 4:3 display option for the people on CRTs, specially considering the pixel art is being used as a major selling point (it even could be displayed at 240p, given the proper hardware). The reboot was designed like this at first but once it got the first cutscenes it was clear the dev dropped the idea.
ED: The Steam page says it's using native English fans for the translation, hopefully they can tell Shigatake about this, I'm sure many people here would more than welcome this as an option even if the cutscenes have to be omitted.

Never got a chance to play the original, but this does look like it could be fantastic. Definitely looking forward to the Steam release.

I've tried out the Dezaemon Kids version of "Devil Blade" on PSX -- the 2D hand-crafted sprite artwork is legendary. Yes, that'd be cool if Shigatake Games could implement a true 4:3 aspect ratio + 240p resolution for some cool retro gaming old-school (besides the usual 1280 x 720 or 1280 x 800 res format on a Steam Deck).
Will this new-fangled Devil Blade reboot support the Steam Deck as well?
For Bassa-Bassa,
What kind of proper hardware would be needed to get "Devil Blade Reboot" to display at 240p format?

Given the old engine the game is made on, only an old Radeon graphics card and the cable for the 15khz monitor, really. HD 5000 or HD 6000 series are the best for this, just make sure it has at least one analog out (and that it's compatible with your Windows version). CRT Emu Driver is the best solution to make it output 15khz modes, on the software side.PC Engine Fan X! wrote: ↑Thu Mar 21, 2024 10:50 pm I've tried out the Dezaemon Kids version of "Devil Blade" on PSX -- the 2D hand-crafted sprite artwork is legendary.

VGA CRT users would also benefit from a 4:3 mode, of course.

According to Shigatake, this upcoming Devil Blade Reboot is rendered in 320 x 240 resolution -- that's the correct setup for use on a low-res 15.7kHz candy cab setup. Wow, color me impressed! The upcoming May 24th, 2024 debut date for DBR isn't too far away anyways. Sure hope it has Steam Deck support from the get-go.

Finally.
Been eagerly anticipating this game for... over a decade?
Can't wait.

Rendered in the original native 320x240 resolution of the classics
I'm afraid that's misleading as it just refers to the action viewport. The whole game is rendered at 427x240 because he decided at some point there was a need to fill the whole area of a wide screen and the cutscenes and title screen were designed accordingly.

I hope it won't be expensive
