New G.Rev shooter (Strania XBLA)

[bucklemyshoe]

any news on this?

[kazuo]

So is it safe to assume from the aspect ratio of the video and the cabinet that it is likely running on TX2?

[kemical]

i like the looks of this... the area that begins at 2:45 is great !

Aw man, somebody beat to the Cybattler comment already!

Nice to see Dreamcast is still gettin' some love.

[lgb]

Where are you getting a Dreamcast release from?

I've no idea where he'd get that from, but hey, you never know. G.Rev could have a secret stash of GD-Roms left over.

any news on this?

If there is news on one of the few arcade shooters coming up then it would've been posted already, so why not let someone with news bump the thread next time.

[xris]

I have the tentative title- Seisou Kouki Strania.
I have to go to work so I didn't have time to find anything else out.
cool!

[lgb]

...a title which is also in the first post. And on the website. And just about everywhere else it's been covered.

vise fvom yo gvave!
so uuuhh.. like... what happened to this?

I thought it looked promising..

[Dave_K.]

I thought it was cancelled.

CHRONOLOGY OF SHOOTING

TBA ~ Seisou Kouki STRANIA ~ G.rev
^-- Vertical scroll, multi-directional shooting, reminiscent of Cybattler (1993, Jaleco). Oct '09 loke test @Hey. homepage.
Plans for arcade release possibly cancelled, according to developer interview in spring '10.

[lilmanjs]

so I guess this is only going as far as location testing and that's it?

[gatsu25]

What exactly did happen to this? It says "an interview", but does anyone have a link to the interview?

I thought maybe if they scrapped it for an arcade release they would finish it up and release it on the 360.

It really bums me out if this is truly not going to see the light of day.

It was in the debate about shooting games in one of the Famitsu Xbox360 monthlies, think G.Revs Maruyama just hinted that game might not see arcade release.

[ZOM]

meaning they favor an X360 release over an arcade one, or meaning it won't see the light of day? I'm a bit confused.

[hirounder]

Game finally got announced for 360 in this week's Famitsu, we'll probably get some scans later on.

[newguns]

Yes, Strania was announced in Famitsu. Just so there's no confusion, this is different from the new title that will be announced at the upcoming Grev event next week.

[hirounder]

Good news, looks like it's gonna be XBLA title, doesn't say how much MSPs, 2011 release.

[gatsu25]

That is terrible news I want a full release.

[Rob]

Excellent news. G.Rev's games are perfect for $15 downloads.

[z0mbie90]

Hope we get to see some gameplay or screenshots on it.

[hirounder]

Official site will renew tomorrow with first gameplay video

Awsome.

That is terrible news I want a full release.

Me too, but I think it is the only way for G-Rev to survive right now. After the Senko DUO disaster, and their financial troubles may have pushed them to launch it on XBLA. It is a shame I really want a physical release. However I really hope that some day in the near future some company decides to make a shooting game compilation from XBLA and release it on DVD.
At least we've got luck to see Strania finally.

[Zeron]

I would rather have it on disc but, well it's better then nothing they might aswell port Under Defeat to XBLA too.

[hirounder]

Ah looks like promo's already on youtube

Awesome

[Kiken]

Sounds like more Yak... I hope they release an OST CD.

[t0yrobo]

Looks interesting. I hope they're planning on a US and EU release since it's just on xbla. It looks like it's doing enough different looking stuff that it could get some attention from mainstream press.
