Upcoming Cave arcade title (Akai Katana)

[Macaw]

Didn't see a current thread for this so, yeah

http://cave-game.cocolog-nifty.com/blog ... -f2df.html


New horizontal game with a location test sometime this month. Dunno what to think as Cave definitely didn't rock the casbah last time. Will they ass out on jacked 3d or go back to 2d. Will there be more than 4 stages. Will I be able to jack off over predominant sexual content. Maybe the screen will no longer be constantly filled with enormous score text and I can actually convince myself again I was playing a shooting game.

Personally I hope there is a fishing mini game.


*Update*

Game is called Akai Katana (Red Katana)

It's taken so long I'm guessing 2D. But, who knows. Reality is something that escapes me from time to time. Not sure if I'll make the loke test.

I sure hope you do.

Am I missing something here or everyone speaks japanese?
I can't see pics and have no idea what to look/click if there are some,and what is it about

halp!

[gameoverDude]

I hope this one is something a bit more serious. I'm thinking along the lines of Ketsui or Progear. Ditch the 3D please- HD 2D is where it's at. DS II leaves me thinking some enemies could've looked better if prerendered into sprites of the same caliber as Cave's 360 ports. The Blazblue method (3D BGs and 2D sprites) would've been better.

Graphically, even Neo-Geo Pulstar & Blazing Star impress me more than DS II. Hmmm.... since Yumekobo isn't in business, I wouldn't mind Cave buying the rights to take a shot at Blazing Star II. Get Harumi Fujita on BGM detail if this happens.

何かとバタバタしてる日が続いていますが、先日海外でデススマイルズの方が発売されました。 Following are hectic day doing something, who was released recently DeathSmiles abroad.
私の方は、契約の合意までしか殆ど携わって無かったですが無事発売されたとの事で一安心しています。 If I am relieved that the thing was released and is safe only until almost no working contract agreement.

そして７月中にアーケード新作のロケテを行う予定でいます。 Are planning to Rokete in July and the new arcade.
完全新作の横 STGになりますので、お楽しみにして頂ければと思います。 It will be next to completely new STG, then I think that you enjoy.

あとは･･･別件のラインの作業が本格的に始まって、私の席の隣に筐体がドーンと戻ってきました。・ ・ ・ Then work began in earnest unrelated lines, and Dawn came back enclosure next to my seat.
ガシャガシャ基板を差し替えてあーでもないこうでもないしながら、360で起動してダァーみたいな事をしてます。 Oh, but neither this or any board, replacing the Gashagasha, and I'm running something like 360 Daa.

Wow, I have no idea if that's a real translation or just ROBOTRON talk. Very amusing though.

I believe he ran it through the hilarity that is known as Google Translate.

actual google translation.

[Subterranean Sun]

Oh no.
Another fucking horizontal shmup.
...Well, at least it's not Deathsmiles III. I hope they made something like Progear.
No more fucking girls. Show us some bloody hard-ass bullet hell games CAVE!

[drunkninja24]

I think we may see more horizontal action from Cave in the future, largely because tate-able LCD cabinets seem to be a rarity.

[null1024]

God, I wish this was something like a Progear II or so. I know this isn't going to happen though... -_-

On the other hand, horizontal is always a plus for me.

[xris]

Didn't they say last year that they were working on a hori cute 'em up, with an emphasis on multi-player?

[Lavis]

I hope Cave got back to 2D, I didn't liked the look of DSII.

[Kollision]

Oh no.

Thank Cave, another horizontal shmup!

(and not a vertical one - too many of them already)

[alastair jack]

I heard all the soccer mums love horizontal games.

[emphatic]

I heard all the soccer mums love horizontal games.

[THE]

Horizontal + fantasy theme + lolis = success

Vertical + manly vehicles + gay dudes (ketsui) = fail

Cave would be crazy putting out a vert again, not to speak a manly game...

[balp]

hope my character can do cool shit like go to highschool and trip a lot

[moozooh]

I'm not at all opposed to 3D, especially if it's done like in Gradius V or Psyvariar 2; I consider them among the more graphically beautiful and well-designed shmups of the 2000s. DS II is indeed ugly, however.

[Sasupoika]

Sound interesting. I hope it isn't full of lolis and 3d. It better be something manly.
Something manly that will be ported.

[Jockel]

I don't mind lolis and i wouldn't die if it's in 3D (preferring 2D, of course).
Looking forward for further info... it can't be bad.
This is fucking Cave we're talking about here.
Personally i'm not too happy about it being a hori, but then again
it's easier to sell ports of hori games later.

[Strider77]

I like hori's... don't like shitty 3D, but I do like good 3D.

A Blazing Star 2 sequel would rock. Yep, Harumi Fujita is one to get for that kind of detailed work. The background detail work shown in Blazing Star is jaw-dropping, especially the very detailed background scenery shown of the space station with lots of eye-candy to behold. I recall seeing the kick-ass MVS Blazing Star game at my local Modesto, CA based "Nickel Play" arcade hangout back in February of 1998 -- it was a brand new MVS conversion kit anyways that the arcade had just gotten in.

Makes me wonder if the staff at Cave have any high regards/appreciate both Pulstar & Blazing Star MVS games. So whom owns the current IP rights to the Yumekobo game catalog?

It's good to hear that Cave is gearing up to release another new arcade PCB up for a loke test/feedback from the general public. Am curious to see if it is a sequel or if it's an entirely new shmup title from the ground up.

PC Engine Fan X! ^_~

The "no more lolis/anime girls" etc comments: Does it really matter what we pilot or what the game's theme is, as long as its fun? Cave is simply striking while the iron is hot on moe anime blobs. For the record I hope the game is about a Loverboy cover band comprised entirely of crossdressing shotas riding unicorns that've been doused in gasoline which ignite in fire when you get hit from the tentacled space monsters you're fighting against

I prefer horis to verts so I'm glad its another hori. Hopefully if its done in 3D it won't look as godawful as Deathsmiles IIX. I don't understand why that game didn't just use 3d Backgrounds and stick to 2D sprites, since they reused so many of the old character designs for enemies. It'd of been easier to copy/paste the old sprites and add in a new one here and there than redoing every single old enemy in 3D I'd imagine.

Well, it would be nice to be able to show the games to friends without having to go "no, it's fun, honest!"

[BulletMagnet]

To be fair, one generally has to do that with pretty much any shmup anyway, regardless of aesthetics.

Nuff said.

[Cuilan]

It's 99% likely that it'll have lolis (and maybe a few traps) and be in 3D. Get over it, people.

I think hi-res 2D (or even pre-rendered 3D) backgrounds combined with real-time 3D models would be the better option. If the backgrounds take up fewer resources, more can be reserved for the 3D models. Plus, they wouldn't have to spend time converting all of the 3D models into pre-rendered sprites. Not much goes on in the backgrounds, so not having them in 3D wouldn't be a big loss. Or maybe if Cave decides to put a dedicated video card in their PC hardware this time, there won't be a need for these compromises.

If you mean dedicated as in a separate chip, Cave has definitely used one for their DS II board. Running 3D on a CPU is just economically ineffective since GPUs at those clock speeds are not only almost an order of magnitude more powerful, but also dirt cheap. Now, for instance, iPhone's processor has about 4x the performance of the one in the Dreamcast — that's more than enough to power a Cave hori, even if it's running at native widescreen 848x480.
