Ketsui X and Daioujou Black Label X - Ports for Xbox 360

Ceph · Post by **Ceph** » Tue Oct 21, 2008 6:04 pm

What, another YEAR?

The good thing about this: Until then, the final Xbox 360 revision, "Valhalla"
should be out, which will basically be a completely redesigned system (combined CPU/GPU, 65nm chips, less power consumption), supposedly without any of the issues of the previous revisions- making it an Xbox I could actually learn to... tolerate (and buy).

It's not another year, it's THIS winter, probably late Jan or Feb.

You're a more accurate source than me trying to remember what JAPJAC said before he locked people out of the links he posted.

I'm considerably more excited about this winter then.

anyway, the art seems good for me, except for the logo which is.. ugly and too big.

I don't think so, Tim.

Raiden 4

stay firmly in Japan

I don't think so, Tim.

A release this winter sounds nice.

I will be plenty busy with Dodonpachi Daioujou Black Label Extra. I see why everyone abbreviates the title. I find it easier to type out than to remember the damn acronym, though.

sidetrack- is there Raiden 4 'coming to the US' information somewhere now?

I kinda likes that cover.

It basically says "you'll die before you even reach the first boss"

RackGaki · Post by **RackGaki** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 3:26 am

I didn't think the cover was noteworthy either way (not too bad, not too good), but once you put it that way, I think that they should expand upon that concept. Every manic shoot 'em up should have dead people on the cover.

Haha, the logo is slapped over an image of Leinyan. The original box art was fantastic, why didn't they just use that?

Looks like I guessed right, Famitsu via Soutahouse says Ketsui Extra is coming out Jan 29th.

Yup. Winter 2009.

So they're ditching HD modes for both games. Kind of disappointing.

CStarFlare · Post by **CStarFlare** » Wed Oct 22, 2008 1:24 pm

That's all I need in January - two cave games, a new semester of school, and a new job.

lol sleep

Still that's good news - waiting a whole year to find out what the fuck is up with Ketsui would suck. :3

Fucking hell. In January I can get 2 new Cave games, Ikaruga AND fucking R-Type. Somebody must be shitting me in the ass.

I've been all over the PCB this week. The scoring system is so much fun.

It's still good. That said, I think the DDPDOJ BLEx logo should be in a different spot since it's blocking out Leinyan.

Hopefully Ketsui Extra will get a Wait option to simulate slowdown. Fixing the minor frameskipping that happens in stage 5 would be fine, however.

Must.... not... say it... no.. ohshit HAHA YOU CARE ABOUT BOX ART!!!

Yes, box art is completely worthless, and adds nothing to the game. There is absolutely no value to holding a physical copy of a well designed package in your hands. The same goes for record covers and film posters.

Why do you say the opposite of what you actually mean? Is this some kind of sneaky reverse psychology bullshit? Alas, I shall not fall for your trickery, lowly scum!

Have you seriously never encountered sarcasm before?

Actually DOJ is one of the few games I take out of my shelf (which is right above my pillow so it's no issue) and go "damn, that's nice box art." at. It's probably one of my favourite box arts out of my 18 years of gaming.

MX7 · Post by **MX7** » Sun Oct 26, 2008 3:59 pm

Agreed. I would even go as far to say that it had the best front cover of any videogame, full stop.
