LET'S GET MAD HYPE

I cannot wait for more giant fish bosses. I get off to giant fish bosses. I really hope it's a good Darius game.

[BIL]

Wow. Certainly looks and sounds like it (Kimera II popped into my head immediately). Straight hori STG with G-Rev assist please.

[Klatrymadon]

I am actually hyperventilating.

[Kollision]

Damn I can't understand shit of the page....
But I'm thrilled nonetheless!

ugh... don't even speak of such things.

[BIL]

I noticed the hex too, but I'm hoping that's just the zone select map.

[ZOM]

Nah.... Really? nah. damn. I want.

Let's just hope it's not some sort of Dariusburst port/conversion.

[Klatrymadon]

I'd be alright with that, especially if it was a particularly snazzy conversion with a few new levels and stuff, but that's just because I still don't have a PSP; a brand new entry is vastly preferable. Holy crap.

Who made Burst? was it done in house? It would be (not) funny if Taito went all Konami on us and forgot how to make a good shmup lol

Anyway a new Darius is great news. But wtf is it with all these horis been released. Its just like my local bus service, wait forever for one to show up, and then five come all at once.

[Kollision]

I love me my horis

It wasn't completely in house. A company called Pyramid (also works on SCEI's Patapon series) had a lot to do with the development of DariusBurst.

[Dragoforce]

Holy fuck

[Subterranean Sun]

FUUUUUUUCK YESSSSSSS!

The countdown is to announce Darius Burst for arcade.

The aspect ratio will be 32：9, which means three screens. (edit: nvm this is 2 screens)

More information here..

The aspect ratio will be 32：9, which means three screens.

This makes me feel incredibly warm and fuzzy, although it probably adds about ten years to the countdown of my getting to play it!

(Unless, of course, they get it at the Casino in London, and I can find someone who wouldn't mind having some shmupping dosser dossing it up on their floor for a month.)

Now they should make a X360 version. I can't stand playing it with the sucky dpad.

[Lavis]

Its not a Darius Burst conversion isn't it?.

I'm not bias against Burst, but I want a new entry with Ogura as the lead composer.

Edit: Crap, I didn't read the above post.

[Equites]

Holy shit....lets hope it is a new Darius game, I need more.

[Terramax]

Its not a Darius Burst conversion isn't it?.

I hope not. I want more colour. Darius Gaiden 2 FTW!

This.... is exciting.

I don't know what to think of it. Dariusburst was fun while it lasted, the simple to grasp scoring system was a nice addition to the series and all, but the rest of the game seemed a bit rushed. The 3D looked a bit too "sterile"(for lack of a better word) compared to the previous polygonal entry. Also the game lacks that atmosphere that comes with some/most of the titles in the series, part of that was surely because the levels are just short multiplier-uppers to prepare for when you reach the bosses.

If they'd revamp the whole game, like adding longer stages, "do something" with the graphical presentation, etc... yeah.
As for the challenge level, I'm sure they're reworking some basics for the difficulty settings, or even add a whole different mode than those found on the PSP.

The fact that they do a 32:9 game gives me a bit of faith that the developers are working on it a bit more than just converting the psp version for arcade use...

More news:

32" consisting of two monitors.

Supports up to 4 players with headphones.

There's going to be a loketest between the 7th and 8th of August at Hey! arcade. On the 6th, something called Taito Live will be broadcasted.

Planned for release in Winter 2010.

Layout has 1 stick 3 buttons per player.

TypeX2 hardware.

[Aru-san]

Supports up to 4 players with headphones.

Headphones? In a shmup? Well, I guess if you're really that huge of a fan of Zuntata and actually hearing the sound effects in your video games.

Also, when I say 4 players, this came to mind:

Now the conventional wisdom goes, "the more players you have in a shootin' game, the more fun it gets." That ain't true.

Then again, that was for Aegis Wing, and this is Darius we're talking about lol

Insanity / what I want. Maybe all 4 ships can form a mega attack when they are within a certain proximity of each other. Like a giant chef robot that can fillet the bosses.

[ZOM]

Nah, the 4 ships go in formation to extend a huge Nori ready to wrap around the fishies - King Fossil Maki FTW!

The Taito Live thing is going to be here: http://www.ustream.tv/channel/taito-live

[Acid King]

As great it is to hear they're doing a legit new Darius, I wonder how the whole 2 screens thing is going to affect a potential port.

[ShmupSamurai]

If they ever do a port of Another Chronicle to the consles, it better have the scale option from Segaia saturn port.

Also, need...MORE...FISH!
