Xbox 360: Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu 1.5 (November 2010)

[Sasupoika]

Looks fantastic.
The patterns in the second part of the video remind me of XOP Black for some reason. Lots of small, similar-looking bullets in little broken patterns. Not to mention it seems the scoring system is about collecting those metallic things.

[moozooh]

Metallic honeycombs, dude! It should have been like that from the fucking start!

[Battlesmurf]

Regarding the arrange modes: Think they can put anymore numbers at the top screen?

haha. telling you guys. I hope there's an option to turn off the hud or shrink it- it's crazy!

exaggeration : if I wanted to play a small square playfield, I'd go download a doujin

[lgb]

okay that one goes too far

also can we please not fucking call this dodonpachi resurrection please

also eoj I don't want to dislike you but this is getting to be unfair

[Danza]

Such an awesome intro song, even better than the one for DSII

Wtf is this idiot talking about, I absolutely hate Cave's stupid singing promotional soundtracks, they totally kill the vibe of the game. The DSII one was like torture in the queue for the AOU test version.

Finally they've got the covers the right way around (some marketing genius there) the LE one looks good this time. The DS2 LE cover art is one of the most appalling commercial illustrations I've ever seen come out of Japan (hang your head Inoue.)

Do you know who you're calling out there? :)

[Strider77]

His mamma.....

[apple arcade]

I don't really care for either cover to be honest. hope these are just mocks and they change them for the final product like they did with DS2. I think the LE is suppose to be a DOJ tribute which is kind of cool. In the end they're just covers so who cares.

[AraraSPAMWitch]

God that PV makes me want to jerk off UGHHHHH.

whatever dude you were just whacking it to ai's face

sexiest robot ever

i always had a thing for robotic bitches

this game is fun, but it's no xexex

fuckin chobits

[Special World]

So. Fucking. Pumped.

Not sure if I'll like the laser canceling, and I think the robot maidens look dumb, but shit. I'm so glad they went back to colorful graphics rather than that dingy DOJ look. This game looks fucking rad.

I hope one of the arrange modes is good though, because Futari and ESPIIs arranges are crap IMO.

(Give me a Mars Matrix mode, you fuckers)

Do you know who you're calling out there?

Nah, fill me in. Who's the person who thinks that Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu song is actually really good?

[PsychoGun]

I'm really getting sick of Cave's cheesy english lyric crooning tunes.

Get back to the techno and beats, please.

Not me, but I know a Swede who really digs it.

+1

They should have dropped the BL ST stage four at the beginning of the vid instead. That would have given it some much required gravitas.

Hmm... that could be a number of people...

C'mon out and own up Swedish lover of crap shmup J-pop.

[mesh control]

There hasn't been any mention of Black Label DLC, has there?


How was the BL DLC for Mushi announced? before or after the release?

[TLB]

vestibulit was manly enough to unwrap a sealed Ibara, and he's on Team Sweden.

A short while after release?

beforehand they never even had proper image songs, and they still have "techno and beats" (in before someone says "I'm really getting sick of Cave's techno and beats"

[mirkvid]

This is gunna be awesome. I have only ever watched 1 video of this so as not to spoil it.

[apple arcade]

I like the DFK image song.

I did clearly post that I love the song, why did you ask again?

[evil_ash_xero]

That song is nuts.

I listened to it a lot before the PV and I love it

[Skykid]

It's getting a bit off topic, but... (goes back to listen one more time just to be sure.)

...Yeah, it's really absolute trash - but I admit you shouldn't judge people for having awful taste in music.

While on the topic of Dodonpachi DFK and music, does anybody prefer the BL OST to the original? It's growing on me (at least when trying to imagine playing the game with those themes) and bar a couple of tracks (main boss themes and stage 5) I think it's better all round - I like the darker edge.

[moozooh]

I definitely prefer the BL OST. Hearing arranged versions of vanilla OST (by somebody other than Namiki) would also be nice. Namiki has written himself out.

Yeah, at first I didn't know what to make of it, but through continued listening I can imagine it's going to be a lot more driving in-game than the vanilla OST, which is shamefully weak in places. I especially like the beats on the stage 1 track (Vertex), and the others are growing on me. I'm actually especially pumped for the BL DLC just to play against this soundtrack to see how it changes the experience.

Namiki all burned out is a sad thought (though you may be right), but wasn't the vanilla soundtrack composed by several different guys?
