Bullet Soul - (STG/5pb/Xbox360)

I think anyone who has ever tate'd a screen knows all the stuff would fit easy.

Fun with photoshop though.

There was a note on the page for their fighting game when a demo went up for that, so presumably they'll put the same sort of update on the Bullet Soul page. (Confession: I visit there once in awhile just to rock out to the super-cheesy thing that plays when you enter.)

Damn, that is a sweet intro.

So as the release date approaches I'm trying to decide if I want this. My 360 is hooked up to my cab and I always leave the scree TATE'd so basically no TATE means no purchase for me.. Have they definitely confirmed that there will be no TATE option, or is it just speculation?

Just speculation.

I'm also on the fence depending on if it Tates, although between Strania, Akai Katana, and this it might make sense to go vert for awhile. Hopefully this weekend when I grab Strania I'll check out the demo of this too.

Special World · Post by **Special World** » Mon Mar 28, 2011 6:10 pm

Has the demo still not come out? I wanna get my hands on it and (hopefully) pre-order the game, but as of now I'm just not sure.

Annoyboy · Post by **Annoyboy** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 12:46 am

They've now changed the site to say the demo will be released in "April".

Damn. I hope they release the demo a few days before the game; I'm still on the fence, and it'd be nice to get that OST.

Not that I don't believe you since there are only two days left in March, but I don't see where the site was updated. Still says Xbox LIVEマーケットプレースにて体験版を2011年3月配信予定 on the specifications page.

...maybe they'll make it (lol)

I've got a flyer for this and in none of the screenshots is the HUD shown on the playing area (like in ptoing's mock up). Nothing concrete I know, but there it is.

I just checked the site again, and you're right. I swear that 3 was a 4 last night, though... maybe I was just tired, or maybe I saw a slip-up they accidentally announced early?

There's another update on the front page which says something about a "Special Code" - anyone know what it's talking about?

adversity1 · Post by **adversity1** » Wed Mar 30, 2011 11:52 pm

Think they're just talking about the Telecards available at various shops.

http://5pb.jp/games/bulletsoul/spec/index.html#privi01

Incidentally, that update came on March 29th, and the spec page still says April 7th release, so it seems game is going to come out on time from what I can see.

Strange, as that part of the page has been there for some time...maybe they added some extra stuff that I didn't notice.

Annoyboy · Post by **Annoyboy** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 3:23 am

It says "added special offers by store".

Besides the telephone cards which are exclusive to individual shops, the site mentions an exclusive limited edition Bullet Soul towel if you buy from Game Shop 1983, or Famicom Shop Mario offers a DVD-R (DVD-R, seriously?) "collection" with all the promotional videos on, along with "mini badges" with the game logo on.

On an unrelated note, I think the little flash intro the site plays a slightly different version of the music heard in PV 1. The piano seems much more prominent in the flash intro. That's probably just because the track was made quieter for the video, but wouldn't it be great if it signified hidden routes with slightly remixed music in the game?

I want my demo, dammit.

There are no DLC related pre-order bonuses for this are there?

Annoyboy · Post by **Annoyboy** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 4:40 pm

No, but "Game Contents Download" is listed as a feature under Spec on the site, so there's probably going to be some in the future.

bcass · Post by **bcass** » Thu Mar 31, 2011 5:58 pm

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure that there wasn't a good reason to pre-order. This'll probably be a GoD purchase for me when it appears on that service. Too many games to get through at the moment, especially shmups.

honorless · Post by **honorless** » Fri Apr 01, 2011 12:40 pm

TATE CONFIRMED so we can put that rumor to bed now. Hopefully the 4:3 implementation isn't shitty.

Other site updates of note: soundtrack listing with samples, pictures of stage 3, proof that no shmup these days can escape half-naked anime chicks. OMG PREORDER CANCELED

I wonder if the tracks in that 8-bit arrange medley will be selectable in-game? I'm not impressed with the snippet in that video, but it's a thought.

Awesome, glad to see tate is in. Now if they just got this demo released I could pre-order already...

Now that's more like it.

Wonder how it'll change the gameplay from tate to yoko.

Udderdude · Post by **Udderdude** » Sun Apr 03, 2011 6:17 pm

More of the screen will be covered with interface stuff. That should be the extent of it, unless they manage to muck something up :P

PatrickF27 · Post by **PatrickF27** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 12:12 pm

Is it true that a soundtrack disc is included with the first print?

Annoyboy · Post by **Annoyboy** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 6:34 pm

Yes, that's right.

The price on Play-Asia seems high, but maybe I'm living in the past.

Annoyboy · Post by **Annoyboy** » Mon Apr 04, 2011 11:10 pm

Play-Asia have 2 different pages for it. The cheaper one (http://www.play-asia.com/paOScore/19-71 ... 0soul.html) has the wrong "original name", though.

Garchomp · Post by **Garchomp** » Tue Apr 05, 2011 6:29 am

The cheaper version is the Asian version. Will it also be region free?
