Treasure is making a 3D shooter.

No idea what kind of 3D they mean.

[szycag]

3DS maybe?

[UnscathedFlyingObject]

3D action shooting game? That means a lot of different things.

[Opethian]

3d action shooting game. Gunstar Heroes 3D? as long as it doesnt end up like Metal Slug 3D it has my interest.
looks like they are hiring people for the project.

[GaijinPunch]

Treasure's still around?

[Puddleglum]

Would SP2 be considered a 3D shooter?

[junkeR]

Treasure died after Iuchi left.

[Ebbo]

Treasure died after Iuchi left.

I thought he is in good terms with Treasure and still works with them, even after becoming a freelance graphic designer.

"3D action shooter" can mean anything when it comes to Treasure. Ofcourse I'm interested to see what their next project will be but then again I'm not sure how they're going to top S&P2...

[ZOM]

I'm not sure about it, but given the budget you need to develop a game nowadays and seeing that Honey&Saliva 2's sales were pretty good, I wouldn't be surprised to see number 3 sooner than expected...

...I'm just thinking loud.

The last thing Iuchi worked on since leaving Treasure was some shitty Bleach fighting game for Wii. The last thing Treasure made was Sin and Punishment 2, which is pretty easily one of the best things they ever did - top 5. Treasure may be better off without him.

[Ed Oscuro]

Maybe they've adopted Konami style categorization, so this is really a sequel to GunGage.

I wouldn't say that. But I doubt they'll make a good shmup without him.

Treasure has never made a good shmup >:(. Okay, apart from Gradius V. But, yeah - I was being unnecessarily mean. Guess I'm just a bit tired of people canonising their past work, insisting they've somehow gone downhill. They're ~ the same as they always were, though like most small devs this gen has been a little harder on them.

[Specineff]

I concur with Drum. Radiant Silvergun is more pretentious than fun. It's not a bad game by any means, but Super Earth Defense Force and R-Type 3 have gotten more of my time than RSG.

From what I heard the Bleach game was anything but shitty.

You sure you're not thinking of one of the DS iterations?

It's fantastic... if you like shitty anime like bleach and naruto. That was a bit mean... just hate those shows and any crap like it, along with lame fighters based on them.

[Obiwanshinobi]

I still like the looks of those last gen cel-shaded fighters (and Tatsunoko vs Capcom) better than how Street Fighter IV turned out graphically.

[evil_ash_xero]

To respond to an earlier reply, Treasure have kinda gone downhill. But i'm not entirely sure why. Back in the 90's they had their crap games, but they also had a really awesome one either every other year or every year. It kind of was that way all the way to Ikaruga in 2001(and yeah, they had crap games all the way through to then too). After that, they just started making games based on cartoons, animes, other companies characters, or "less than the original" sequels. I'm guessing it was just the marketplace, and the fact that they never really have hits. I guess they had to pay the bills. Astro Boy was good, Gradius V was great, Gunstar Super Heroes was good, and lot's of people liked Bangai-O Spirits(I felt that the hardware limited it way too much). But overall, they haven't had those unique creations they used to be known for.

But I guess they still got "it", because Sin and Punishment 2 was insane good. Even though it was a sequel.

Sin and Punishment 2.

boooooooo.........

[Ed Oscuro]

I would love to see a Treasure made FPS, for the sheer novelty of "something different" at the least, even though I don't care for the company *that* much they still take a different angle than the usual war game one.

As long as it's not on a Nintendo console. What're the chances of that happening?

I'd buy that for a dollar.

[Matsunaga]

I'm sure it would include head-shot chaining of different colored enemies to power up your guns..

Buh, does Treasure really control powerups by chain?

In any case, there's already an FPS with headshot chaining, and it was made by a racer company. The company is Bizarre Creations and the game is The Club. And it looks like they're making the next Bond game.

[Koa Zo]

I think Treasure has more class than "headshot chaining."

Blah, blah , blha....
Advance Gaurdian Heroes was, and is, more fun than any of those games you mentioned.

Hell yeah. I thought I was the only one who liked AGH.
