Anyone want to take any bets on whether or not this is going to end up being a shooter or not?

Those eyes are staring straight through my soul. Reminds me of my ex-gf.

GanjiPunch, translation please.

Stop watching American Gladiators for once.

Can't make heads or tails out of it. It's either written far to artistically or it's just some strokes thrown together. Anyone notice the eyes behind it? Danmakugata has a bunch of question marks for it. Could be "irubero" in katakana but not likely. Just gotta wait it out.

It does look like "irubero" now that GaijinPunch mentions it. Could be short for a two-word title, considering how much bigger the i and be are.

Now I'm racking my brain to try and think of what it could stand for...

edit: Could the bottom be "tani" (谷)? But then again, that leaves dakuten just sitting there.

Danmakugata is back up?? What's the link?

BTW, if it's katakana, it could be "ihabero" (that may be a "ha" there, not a "ru"), which would be some slightly bastardized psuedo-classical Japanese polite imperative form of the verb "to exist". Hopefully not. "faber-" is an old polite auxiliary verb (modern pronunciation would be "haber-").

Cleary looks like a "ru" to me. I got it from danmakugata though.

"ha"s look like that in sosho styles. But it's ambiguous really. I suggested "ihabero" as it can at least mean something. I don't know what the heck "irubero" could mean, do you?

I don't even know Japanese and I know it means hang man upside down

Maybe "irubero" could be short for something nonsensical, like Radilgy?

Most likely. Karous was a bizarre play-on-words too... so I guess MileStone have found their calling with totally awkward naming conventions.

yeah, they are pretty good at coming up with totally awkward names.

It was just an artsy (or poor) romanization.

Click here if you can't see the eyes the other guys are talking about

MathU · Post by **MathU** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:17 pm

I hope that means it's another shooter. Milestone has made one too many fast reading technique games lately. It looks like they're making another Tank Beat too...

Macaw · Post by **Macaw** » Sun Sep 02, 2007 5:54 pm

Its a pity Milestones shooters suck ass, otherwise I might actually be excited.

Anyone notice when the eyes disappeared?

they are still there though they are very faint so if you happen to have a not so great monitor you might not notice them. try adjusting your brightness settings or check the picture that or click the link that eight posted.

You can still click on my link I posted:

Ah, you're right. Now they're really, really faint. Even creepier.

Doesn't matter to me what it is, I'm not buying another horrible Milestone port.

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Wed Sep 05, 2007 3:24 pm

I should just buy the soundtracks every time.

Some new info on that teaser page; Naomi board, first playtest this weekend.

No way. ANOTHER last Dreamcast game?

You haven't been paying attention- apparently there are no more GD Roms = no more Dreamcast games.

I don't know if anyone noticed, but they wrote out the romanization for the title in the upper-right of the image (look closely at the little figures next to the NAOMI logo): Ilbelo.

well that solves that mystery. The katakana "Irubero" was right after all.
