Bad framerate was probably caused by the video. Graphics in this game actually look quite simple and unless the city uses realtime shadows or something equally unnecessary it's nothing 360 can't handle. It's just a few textured cubes. And I actually like the color palette, reminds me of Dark Hell Company games for some reason.

And though it's a bit off topic, the CUBE game mentioned in this post also has a new trailer. It's now called "Death by Cube".

I'm getting a Zugya vibe from that last trailer.

Still looks like a bit of a mess IMO. I guess the proof of the shmupping is in the playing though...

Love the giant enemies and burning cities, unfortunately the actual mechanics look kinda clunky and the last thing I want to see in an intense aerial dogfight is a little cartoon speech bubble with "HELP!" or "THANKS!" pop up above my ship.

Another game that looks great, and will likely play like ass. Oh well, throw it in the pile. :p

Looks good, but not much diversity in the enemy attacks, was there? Probably gets old quick, like every arena shmup.

Turns out this is developed by Gulti.

It now has a release date of the 23rd of December at 1200 MS points.

Finally. Something to look forward to on XBLA. Hopefully AB is a great remake or new game. And hopefully 0day looks as good (to me) as it does in the screenies/videos. I know some don't like it but oh well I am not them nor are others who may find the game to be to their liking.

Alien Breed looks fantastic, I used to love it on the Amiga, not too sure on this one though, I think I'll need to check out the demo first :)

The AB demo is promising. Easy but great atmosphere and I dig those old overhead action games.

Yeah, it's up on the marketplace but I always get an error message when I try to download the demo.
Seems like others have the same problem.

I've just tried the demo and think it's awful :(

Stick to Alien Breed instead.

SE needs to make a new Einhander (that doesn't suck.) They seem to be on a shit streak for years now. If I was rich, I'd give them the cash but would bomb their place if they pull out a stinker.

I thought the demo was alright. It's obviously been designed to be played with three other people (Monster Hunter style?), which I think is kind of weird. It just doesn't feel quite right having three A.I. guys flying around doing their own thing, not quite helper drones and not quite helpful. At fifteen bucks, that's just a little more than I want to spend right now on something that isn't exactly amazing me. Might pick it up later down the road if it goes on sale for 50% less, or if people end up posting some amazing impressions...

FFXII was fantastic? TWEWY isn't half bad? FFXIII pretty much looks like FFX all over again (and FFXIV will probably be FFXI all over again)? Not very clear signs of "shit streak".

Sheeeit, this game has so many design flaws, it's like they were trying to create the gaming equivalent of cancer.

And yes, the point of the game is to kill Tetran from Salamander 70 times. It doesn't get any harder every time.

They just throw in some bullshit arbitrary time limit that serves no purpose.

I kinda like the game too, but I can't recommend this to anybody. It's a good break from competitive games though.

It´s not exactly the shoot´em up I was hoping for, but it´s okay. I played until the 4th day in Tokyo and I´m still getting used to the controls but it´s growing on me.

The design of the ships remind me a little bit of Zero Gunner & the gameplay is very similar to Space Invaders Get Even on WiiWare when played with the Bonus-Ships from Darius or Rayforce.

What irritates me quite a bit are drops in the framefrate during the explosions and also some of the smaller enemies are especially annoying when playing the game in the single player mode ( the "squasher"- and that "sucker"-enemy in particular) since your a.i. squadmates are pretty useless against them.

Does anyone know how to unlock the other ships?
