Ketsui 360 in trouble

wasurechan · Post by **wasurechan** » Tue Jun 23, 2009 1:48 am

Hey all,
Long time lurker and shmup lover. I was going to post the other day when I heard the Radiant Silvergun OST being use as background music for a news program (I live in Japan), but this seemed like a more important first post. Bad news, but there is hope.

It seems 5pb used the source code for the PS2 version of DOJ without permission, and it has called into question whether Ketsui will appear.

They are being made to rewrite the stolen portions of DOJ and a patch should appear (which is also supposed to fix some things in the game, hopefully the bloody loading).

Cave's Asada stated that while 5pb has the intent to release ketsui, the licensing contract between them is now invalid. He doesn't want to be the one that blocks the fans from being able to play the game, so he is open to renegotiating the contract after 5pb makes amends. At the moment, it is put on hold, but in the future it may become possible to release it.

Arika also received apologies and seems okay with the release, but there are still two issues - making amends and improving the quality of the port.

Bummer! I have been waiting patiently for the 360 Ketsui release. At least I wasn't holding my breath...

No he's right. There was an update to the CAVE blog today about them taking back the license from 5pb.

I love you, Ketsui, my favorite game I've never played. I will kill for you. I will flame any Shmups member who doubts you. To you, Ketsui, I give my soul.

All hail Ketsui.

Just WTF would happen.. Ketsui has been pre-ordered since last year with my "rare" $10 coupon

At this point, if we ever see it, it will be some time next year ..

In 10 years time I'll be able to screenshot my play-asia order and say "yes, I was there" or something

Looks like we'll see Mushihimesama Futari first then at this rate.

Still, I hold out that it will come out at some point as I've also had mine on preorder for what now seems like ages.

Is there as big a demand for a Ketsui port over in Japan as there is on these forums?

Well, some news are better than no news. At least it doesn't seem like the situation is hopeless.

Damn am I glad that 5pb stole that code. It's like that's the final straw that's going to convince Cave to get this shit done right.

Sucks how long we've had to wait for these games to get released, but better late than never, right?

Check the opening post again. "Renegotiating the contract after 5pb makes amends". To me, that suggests that the contract's going back to 5pb. Otherwise, why wait? Why not just give it to somebody else now? I

CAVE porting it themselves sounds too good to be true. I can imagine what the "extra value" gameplay additions could be like.

Ketsui Black Label featuring DDP-DOJ Hypers, bullet cancelling á la MFBL (imagine MFBL amount of bullets and Ketsui point blank to trigger it) and what else? Kakusei?

Starting to sound like Patriot Dark ..
