RSG for Cave in the EU.

[defected78]

They are just far too pro nintendo and only concentrate on games like harvest moon and even releasing games on formats like the nintendo DS!!!

Whenever asked about games they dont really respond on the cave ones and it makes me wonder that they dont want to pay for localisation costs.

Are there any other publishers or why dont even microsoft release them.

Has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

What the fuck are you talking about? They did awesome job with Deathsmiles, they even added the correct slowdowns by request and included the OST and accessory disc with a budget price. They even did a scoring guide.

They can't speak about the releases yet since they haven't signed any papers. Personally I think they are perfect for the job.

So you're practically saying they aren't "hardcore" enough to work on this kind of titles? From what I've gathered RSG has published several obscure titles here in Europe (such as Muramasa and Fragile Dreams, even R-Type Tactics). If Deathsmiles is any indication they would be pretty much the best choice for publishing future Cave titles.

[-SD-]

RSG have to make money somehow, and just releasing shmups isn't financially sound. The reason they were able to do such a wonderful job of Deathsmiles is down to the fact they've had successful Wii releases such as the Harvest Moon games.

The company has a lot of experience with releasing relatively obscure Japanese games, and they make a very good job of it too. I really can't think of another publisher that could do better and have such an open forum for its fans.

Is there something wrong with releasing DS games?

No, but there's something wrong with this thread.

[Zeron]

Now whats wrong with RSG they will announce a bunch of stuff this month and i can safely say it will be some CAVE stuff, they clearly listen to their fans as seen by handling of DeathSmiles PAL which they specifically requested CAVE that they have the same slowdowns as the japanese version.

Not too well thought out at all.

Please, somebody close this thread.

This +1

Not wanting to feed the troll, but RSG have published some AMAZING games in the UK. Flower Sun and Rain, No More Heroes, Deathsmiles, Deadly Premonition... The list goes on and on. They're one of the publishers I respect most at the moment. My only objection to them is that they region locked Deadly Premonition so I can't play it on my JX360 (though they were very helpful in telling me this when I asked on Twitter)

[guyot]

RSG also messed up on the OST but when notified of the error sent out replacement discs.

That and their willingness to take a chance on deathsmiles is enough to deserve quite a measure of respect.

Heh, second post on this page look familiar?

Kallam's post at the bottom seems pretty hopeful.

[Zeron]

Deathsmiles has proved to be very successful for us, and I don't just mean in relation to sales. The community feedback in reference to our release was overwhelmingly positive and I would like to say a big THANK YOU on behalf of us all at RSG for your support. We would be making a serious mistake if we didn't even consider building on this goodwill...don't you think?

Don't worry folks, without giving anything away, we'll be making an announcement on our line up for the rest of 2011 in good time and I'm sure a lot of you will be pleased with what we have in store.

There you have it straight from Rising Star Games can we lock this shit thread now?

Looks like a lot more than we are getting from Aksys. Last I heard, they were happy enough with the sales of Deathsmiles, but were not planning on doing any other games of that style in the near future.

I'd be much happier with RSG

[ncp]

this thread is like complaining about only winning 50 million in the lotto instead of 100 million

[TrevHead (TVR)]

The way RSG handled Deathsmiles has earned a lot of respect from me personally, they acted as a good intermediaries between western fans and Cave, who were at the time out of touch with their overseas fans. (Which probably brought about the NA patch as well)

If Cave plan on going the disk based route for PAL (which I hope) then RSG are the best ppl to do it

It's not supposed to.

And LOL at OP there. Does he really hate Nintendo so bad that he thinks their taint spreads over to everything they touch? That's a bit of a wild statement even for a console fanboy.

[bcass]

God damn it, I feel used now.

I thought my posts can be gobledegook at times but that takes the biscuit. Google translation? EDIT: aha so its a meme

OT: I understand that waiting for news of new PAL games can be frustrating, especially when we see all those fantasic Japanese games going to North America only due to the high number of Jap to US publishers (eg Altus, Xseed, NIS, Aksys) compared PAL publishers. As someone who has had to put up with thiscrap since the 8bit / 16bit era (remember the TG-16 console) its just something we have to put up with or import from Japan / US.

Cave are experimenting with how they sell their games to us westerners. Which makes buying at least a couple of the titles easy for us. But I expect Cave are playing the waiting game untill they know how well sale of DS2X on GOD were. Then they will probably compare it with other methods of distribution and go with the one that works best for them. While this is all conjecture, but ild hazard a guess that RSG have been waiting for Cave to make up their minds if they are to publish more games with them or go the GOD route.

I must say that the statement of RSG that DS was a success and not a failure as many of us were concerned about. This probably means that theres a good chance that even though Cave dont work with them in the near future, RSG might start looking into other non Cave shmups to localise for example Raiden 4 or Otomedius Excellent.

Speaking of Jap to US publishers like altus, NIS. Who are the publishers that are the European equivalent? RSG is one but what about others?

How you want me to do this?

Well, 505games used to translate alot of japanese games back in the day when they where called 505gamestreet, they brought us Homura, Raiden III, and even obscured titles from the simple 2000 series like Pink Pong. But i dont think you can consider them as an equivalent anymore.

Then you have Ghostlight. Great Company if you ask me. But they specialize mostly in Strategy and JRPG games, and havent so far published any 360 games, but a couple for sonys and nintendos machines.
Anyhow they published Agarest in europe even before Aksys anounced they picked up the titles, and IMO did not destroy the games reputation by promoting it as a erotic game like Aksys did. I also liked the the little more classical Collectors eddition with the game + an artbook that they published in europe, compared to americas naughty edition.

I cant think anymore companys other then those two, but i dont think it would be impossible for Ghostlight to publish some Shmups...

[drauch]

This is weasels.

[Midey]

The only problem with RSG is that their site is usually not working for me.

[guyot]

Always works for me. Although it would be nice if they updated it more often.

[DrTrouserPlank]

With the bleak prospects of getting shumps released in PAL territories, any publisher willing to publish the games is the right publisher for the time being. I also think RSG are the right publisher anyway because their ethos is about maintaining the game in it's original form rather than trying to Westernise it.

Wish they could pick up the rights to publish Raiden Fighters Aces. That game would probably sell reasonably well for them because it doesn't look like a rape-sim, and is a more "palatable" incarnation of a shump game that maybe even a few uninterested in the genre as a whole might pick up as a budget-thrill.
