Are you kidding? The Muchi Much one was hilarious!
Is that one still online somewhere?

You can (barely) hear some of the stage and boss tunes in this video (with a placeholder image), since you can´t hear any of that in the promo vid.

Same thing could be said for the final boss at the end of Psyvariar Revision... ^_~

Dodonpachi V is looking good here, folks -- we all owe it to the magical hardware, Cave's SH-3 mobo setup..... ^_~

April 2008 release date of DDP V PCB kit will be here before we know it -- some shmuppers with, ahem, "very deep pockets" will be getting this highly anticipated PCB kit on "day one" of release..... ^_~

Jesus, do these japanese people EVER get enough of schoolgirls? Of the three
characters only EXY is somewhat original, but schoolgirls and maids are the
most generic "sexy" characters ever. You can say what you want about
the T&A in Ibara, but at least the girls were created with some imagination.

Also, are those dances actually intended to draw attention to the game?
Because the way I see it it reflects absolutely nothing about it.
At least throw some pink and blue candy at the people so they can
figure "Ah, danmaku!".

Yeah, as soon as I saw the girls in the bee suits I thought, "Oh sweet, this is gonna be comedy gold," but then they just stand by while the other girls just kinda....slowly side step and wave their hands. Errrr....yeah. happy, happy....fun time?

New vids look good to me, like how the boss uses spread fire that turns into hypers (I swear I saw the player use a bomb though, or maybe it was just an impact effect). But as others said, the image of the girl at the end is distractingly dumb. Oh well.

Ugh. New Cave: No filming. Got busted twice. Total DDP video running time: 0:00:01. So lame. On the bright side, the game is amazing. I'm torn between this and sending my son to college. Not been this excited since Galuda 2.

It has it all. Chaining, hypers,bullet cancelling, phalolasers, slowdown, and transformer school girl bosses.

Your son can get scholarships or if he fails at being intelligent, student loans.

So clearly you should just buy the game.

Any comment on the graphics? Was most of the shit really not rendered?

Fuck yes thats just what I wanted, and I really mean that, I really, really wanted that and I am in no way being sarcastic as that is what I really wanted and now that it has it I am happy because really thats what I wanted.

I would also have a fully functioning kidney if I sold one.

GRAPHICS
All sprites of all Cave games start in polygon form, no? It just sticks out on the bosses.

I will go out on a limb and say the "characters" are the bosses...they are no where else in the game.

Transformers. Lolis in disguise.

On cave-stg EOJ linked gigazine's youtube account, i sifted thru all the vids and here's the 5 new ones of DFK (each 5-21 sec long):
01 - 02 - 03 - 04 - 05.

Macaw · Post by **Macaw** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:51 am

Bara love, bara love!

Muchi muchi po-ku, muchi muchi po-ku!

Do do do.... dodonpachi!

fuckn cave.

Anyways ~ Why does the hit counter seem to reset in some vids, but in others it gradually decreases when not destroying enemies. Do you have to get it to at least 100 hits or something before it does the reduction instead of resetting?

That will surely make a lot of people happy who usually punch the screen after dropping their 1000 hit chain.

GaijinPunch · Post by **GaijinPunch** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 11:58 am

Not sure, but there are situations where sometimes it goes to zero, and somtimes it just counts down. My first guess was that while the hyper gauge is full, it will count down. That's not tested though.

Anyways, here's my thoughts on the show, w/ some pictures and vids.

I'm so chuffed with how this is looking. I had wondered where they could go after DOJ and feared it could be a rehash for business sake, but they've completely revamped the way it plays whilst keeping it familiar by the sounds of it. The new shot/bomb and hyper buttons sound intriguing.

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 1:12 pm

Thanks for the write up, as usual~

One thing I should've fit in there but somehow forgot... I don't recall picking up a power up item -- at all.

It´s about time, really. Full power right from the start! It´s not like they added anything to the games concept like in Raizing games anyways.

Sounds like a fun game and less anal than DOJ \o/
I hope I get to play it sometime in this or the next decade.

PROMETHEUS · Post by **PROMETHEUS** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 4:36 pm

Yeah no powerups is good. It is useless and stupid to be powered down after a miss, it only helps mess the player up even more for no reason. Playing the first stages with lower power can bring some variety and helps differentiate their gameplay from the other stages' gameplay though, but whatever...

Based on what I've seen in that video, the bullets (pink ones in this case) are barely noticeable because of GLOWINGLOLICOCKLASEREXPLOSIONS going on just in front of the craft.

And that's considering they were perfectly visible in other DonPachi's.

in "destroy little enemies" mode the counter goes down by 60/second by not chaining but resets if you die

in boss mode the counter resets regardless

Apparently, he is using it for stroking it between the levels, like saying "This was so easy, I can´t even be bothered to look at the results screen".

Nuke · Post by **Nuke** » Sat Feb 16, 2008 8:21 pm

Beard of protection +1.
And it does indeed look fun and the bosses are a nice Psikyo homage.
It's good to be back to phallic lasers and space ships, even though the bosses are schoolgirls in disguise, but after Trigger Heart Exelica and Otomedius it figures that Cave wants in on it too.
