Rtype 3D coming exclusive to PS3

[dcharlie]

Pretty much nothing known yet other than it's exclusive to PS3 (so probably rules out that it's a port of Rtype Dimensions ?)

It's listed in the table of contents in famitsu too apparently (but can't access famitsu from work for the link)

What could this be?
surely not a real 3D shooter? Surely something like Final or (hopefully) Delta?

[originalz]

Just because it's only listed in the PS3 section doesn't mean it's exclusive to PS3. It could very well be, but just a listing in the table of contents means nothing, Famitsu has done similar things before with multiplatform games from what I remember.

[Thunder Force]

Strange name indeed. Maybe it's a 3D remake of Third Lightning (could be awesome) from the Dimension devs? Hopefully not just a port of Dimensions.

[dcharlie]

... it gets lamer.

According to Famitsu (coming from 3rd party here) you have to LOG INTO HOME to play the game.
You play the game with in home :/

So ... yeah... expectations are extremely low :/

[Elixir]

Haha log into home, what the fuck?

R-Type Dimensions was a good remake. I'm still impartial to R-Type though.

[Kollision]

Remake? Remake???
I don't want fuckin remakes, I want new games.

[ZOM]

3D eh? This time it really looks like it...

I'm slightly interested in how it'll play - other than that, meh

Edit: Game's called R-Type: Flash of the Void and apparently it's free to play.

[dcharlie]

well, at least it looks mildly interesting, but um.... yeah.... lets see how it turns out.

[Ed Oscuro]

Frash of Boid here we goo!

Solar Assault anybody? Not sure if that's a good or bad thing.

[postman]

R-Fox

I was going to grab a ps3 once I heard the news, now I'm passing......

[kozo]

Fuel gauge? Ugh... I get sick of looking at that drop down in real life enough as it is.

Not my thing, but it looks pretty.

[Acid King]

Kinda looks like Viewpoint 64. I suppose this thread will have to be moved to OT now.

[Strider77]

that pic actually interests me.... i know i am the minority though. is this retail or download?

[Thunder Force]

Hearing that it's a game only to be played within PS Home only, makes me worry it will have the gameplay mechanics of a flash game. That pic does look better than expected though... hmm... However if this is a proper PSN game, not a game within Home, then count me excited for a potentially cool rail shooter from Irem.

[gameoverDude]

To hell with using PSN Home to play the game. I'd rather have it be a straight PSN or retail title.
Anyway, this pic does have me thinking Solar Assault.

[Strider77]

my bad for not reading everything..... the home thing is weak.

[Regulus]

Haha, imagine a cockpit view.

"I can't see anything over this stupid orange ball!"

[antares]

Xevious Resurrection also was only on Home but now you can get it from the PSN so maybe it will be the same here.

[Mortificator]

I'd prefer a good new hori, but it's not like rail shooters are automatically bad.

[ROBOTRON]

PS home???? I'm not re-installing that crap just to play this.

[neorichieb1971]

Its probably a social game like Galaga 3. Lots of lasers shooting everywhere.

If it plays like Atari's star Wars from eons back, i'd be interested. An open space game seems rather bland other than that.

[Super Laydock]

I'd be very surprised if this turns out to be even remotely fun.

Does IREM do this to themselves on purpose?
They're actively going the way Sega did with Sonic, destroying their biggest franchise.

Who knows, maybe the next Spelunker will turn out to be a shmup... a cave shmup... ho ho ho.

You have just restored my faith in humanity........most epic joke EVAR!

[dave4shmups]

There are two major concerns that I have with this title. The first one is that it will turn out like Xyanide Resurrection, a shooter that I've heard no good things about. The second is simply involves the problem of what to do with the force in this game. If you shoot it out in front of your ship, won't it obscure the view of too many incoming enemy ships? And if you place it behind the ship, will there be enemies that come out of nowhere, from behind the ship? Both of these problems could lead to a lot of cheap deaths.

Still, I'm a huge fan of the R-Type series, and shmups that are similar, like Last Resort, so I can't wait to see some video of this new title. I have to at least do that before I render any personal judgment on it.

see, there's that misuse of English again

also Sonic Adventure was not bad, it's just that Sega couldn't keep a firm hand on everything and it slipped away

WTF
Certainly looks like shit tbh. I'd be surprised if this was any better than the 3D Gradius that Zone of the Enders has to offer... and this one was nothing but a fun gimmick. "Fun" because it was obvious they weren't serious about it, other than R-Type 3D - which is quite irritating.

[Thunder Force]

I'd be surprised if this was any better than the 3D Gradius that Zone of the Enders has to offer.

Which was neat for a day but then forgettable. Which sounds like most things in PS Home, so probably an apt comparison

[originalz]

Apparently this just came out? Anyone able to check it out?
