The game is looking very promising. It should be worth keeping an eye on it.

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. 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?

If you mean this line on the Steam page:PC Engine Fan X! wrote: ↑Fri May 03, 2024 3:02 pm 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!

Won't be able to play it till tonight though...
Did you miss GRAND CROSS ReNOVATION? I think lots of people did. It's got all of the explosions, graphics, and all of the crazy visual stuff anyone could ever want in an STG along with the second most powerful weapon in STG history: as far as I know, the only thing more powerful than the Sun Blade is the Giga Wave Cannon from R-Type Final 1/2/3 (Evolved), which is kind of hard to outdo considering the Giga Wave Cannon immediately annihilates everything on the screen, bosses and final bosses included.XoPachi wrote: ↑Thu May 23, 2024 8:52 pm This game's presentation might be the best I've seen in the genre since Crimzon Clover. There's been a lot of amazing STG's since then, but they're almost always missing something aesthetically for me.
Maybe explosions are not bombastic enough. They'll go all in on music but severely lacking in SFX. Poor contrast in terms of just appealing visual depth on individual sprites. Bland enemy visuals and minimal animation frames to everything. Or a major lack of punch to the player's own firepower (this one especially bothers me).
