Cave Future plans

[monouchi]

As said earlier, the more shmups ports the happier I will be.

I just hope they get HD treatment!
..playing Mushi in HD feels soooo nice for my eyes. Cant wait for EspII.

I just posted this over at CAVE-STG, go go cross-post!

Interview with Asada, Famitsu 360 (March 2010)

・New project will be revealed at the end of February.
・Mentions that CAVE's dev speed for 360 has improved since their first try with Deathsmiles and they've managed to shave 3, 4 months off dev time.
・Mentions a port of one of CAVE's "well-known titles" after the new project reveal.
・Mentions an Xbox LIVE game which will be an original title. He wants to make it based on co-op play, 16:9 hori shooter that recalls "Moero Twin Bee".
・LIVE plus package releases: 4 games total in 2010. New project will be revealed at the end of February.
・Mentions the NA Deathsmiles release, says it will be on sale the second half of 2010. Translation is done. This is a first for CAVE but fun for them.
・They've messed around with Natal a bit, but he doesn't offer any concrete plans for it.

Damn, looks like Cave are going to milk Xbox 360 for a very long time.
What I don't get it is you fifth point, LIVE plus package is comprissed of 4 games to be released in 2010, or that they are going to release only 4 titles in 2010 including LIVE releases??? Because if it is my first impression I can only dream with a Muchi Muchi Pork over LIVE

[kid aphex]

this is all very cool news
xbla coop game? great to see some creativity
i cant wait

[Animaitor]

Good job adversity1! Thanks for the info buddy.

[jandrogo]

Great! Cave will continue milking my budget

・Mentions a port of one of CAVE's "well-known titles" after the new project reveal.

Great, fingers crossed for Muchimuchi Pork ^^"

He wants to make it based on co-op play,

Oh god

16:9 hori shooter

that'd be okay

that recalls "Moero Twin Bee".

oh damn, I so can't stand Twinbee >_<

[Jockel]

Oh god

I see what you did there.

Guessing ESP Ra.De.

That should be uh .. interesting.

・They've messed around with Natal a bit, but he doesn't offer any concrete plans for it.

How would they make anything like this work with a shmup? Does not compute.

Confirmed, Yanya Caballista/Steep Slope Sliders sequel is in the works...

You would start by drawing a hitbox on your chest..

[SFKhoa]

If there's anything involving chests using Natal, oh I'd do more than just draw mere hitboxes...

[orange]

a 360 port of ddp blue rom would be pretty cool

Lol at first I read Xbox LIVE as XBLA.
Interesting that they got Natal kits from MS to play around.

That's some seriously wishful thinking.

DFK

Might GOD hear you

[lgb]

Mhh.. okay, seems like I confused something. I ripped the OST and got some Id3 tags somewhere which included Hosoe's name, so I got the impression. >_<

this is because no one actually checks the booklet

・Mentions a port of one of CAVE's "well-known titles" after the new project reveal.

most likely DFK, would be odd for anything else to be ported now

I think DS2 would make perfect sense. It outsold Futari, which is going to outsell Esp2. It would make sense for them to look toward the DS franchise to bump it back up.

[Udderdude]

Too soon after it's release IMO.

[GaijinPunch]

DS2 seems more likely... more marketable, and they probably want to recoup some lost money... maybe face.

I wonder how many DLCs they can get away with this time.

1.0
2.0
3.0
4.0
5.0?!

Now with less BSODs, too!

[GaijinPunch]

I've still not forgiven them with their "release schedule" of DS2. I think it's bullshit for PC-games...unforgivable for arcade games.

[agustusx]

They could probably get away with releasing every revision the arcade ever got (even if most are considered crap) via a series of hard to aquire unlock keys.

Anything you pay extra for would require new eyecandy.

True but if they want to redeem themselves with DS2, I suggest them to close their doors all along. There's a simple way though... release DFKBL and everyone is happy, even the ones who brought DDPDJX at full price.

Since DFKBL came out less than 2 weeks ago in the arcade, it would be foolish for them to release the home port at this time. They could do DFK on disk and BL via DLC down the road I suppose.

But but... what about the large topless muscular man in a skirt loli. There are still deep goldmines of untapped character design left@!
