DDP:Blissful Death (iOS) and DDP:Maximum (Windows Phone 7)

[antime]

I don't get why it supports iPod Touch 4 and not iPad 1. The same processor and amount of memory (I thought touch 4 had 512 MB, but, apparantly, it's 256 MB, just like iPad).

I would assume the additional resource requirements of the baseband in the 3g models.

Seeing this really makes me wonder how they'll handle the fact that DOJ's graphics assets aren't at 1:1 pixel aspect. The scaling that got used on the 360 version is really ugly. Given this is designed to run on a phone, I imagine they'll have to resize the assets themselves rather than after rendering the game visual...

it doesnt have to be 360's grapics.
Could be the arcades' graphic
I See a future where CAVE ports EVERYTHING to ios

The point is, the arcade's graphics aren't at 1:1 pixel aspect, like every consumer device is, thus requiring some sort of scaling. See previous posts on the subject.

Haven't spent enough time with the iOS port to figure out how this was handled.

can i say i 1CC'd daioujou if i beat the ios version on normal ... on an ipad ... using a stylus?

You can say you beat it on iOS. You can't say you beat it on the arcade or on the PS2/360 ports.

You would have to be playing on Hell, not Normal, to have the original bullet patterns, but that still isn't the same as the arcade experience since the iOS game adds auto-bombing and removes fixed movement speeds.

As StarCreator said above, you can claim you cleared DaiOuJou for iOS, but not DaiOuJou.

anybody even own a windows phone?

[Formless God]

I do ! I'm about to get one for free.

That music

[pentarou]

Getting some Ender's Game vibes from the trailer.

Soundtrack is being credited to WASi303 (Psyvariar). Suddenly I want a Windows phone! Or an iOS port.

[joeboto]

Yep, a Lumia 800! Looking forward to having a Live-enabled game for it that I actually want to play! Almost every game on it at the moment seems to be either a hugely overpriced iOS/android port or a mediocre license cash-in.

Between this and my 4g iPod my pockets will be bursting with Cave-joy!

(Also: Really enjoying the retro-style EVAC splash screen).

[newguns]

They've got the credits at the end there which is cool.

Kimura, Koizumi and Nomura, looks like the Akai Katana team.

[renardqueenston]

huh, that looks rather nice presentation-wise anyways. has a very dark tech look about it, and the title screen rings true to some toaplan oldies. i'm admittedly a lot more excited to see more of this than i am for sadaioujou

[Deca]

Does the XBL logo all over this site bear some indication that an XBLA port is likely, or do they slap that all over all Windows Phone games?

Windows phone intergrates with your XBox Live account, and offocial Windows Phone games utilise it (You can get achievements, etc that show up on your Live account same as Xbox 360 games)

So, all it means is that this is one of those games. Nothing to do with the Xbox360 I'm afraid.

[ChurchOfSolipsism]

Haha that logo

Websites just been updated, looks interesting. I somewhat wish i had a windows phone 7 phone now...

The bullets in the first part are kind of slow (Ketsui mid-S4's, for example). Then again there is rank and all dem stages.
... Kind of irritating that I'm staring a WP7 device in the face but I can't use it until the end of the year.

P.S.

But, the true "maximum" is playing even in the bathroom!

This is how the best bullet hell shooting
has consistently developed.

WELP.

Let me make things clear. Are you really saying that you want to play this with psychokinesis?

I have a Lumia 800. Went to look for the game today and its not on the Marketplace yet. Looks awesome though. I don't think the gameplay video can really compare to the actual Lumia screen. The colours will be out of this world.

Just wish it was on the Marketplace already!

I just got this DoDonPachi Maximum press release in an email from Cave.

Not much at all in terms of new detail, but it's out on Wednesday. I think that's the first we've heard of aprice too, right?

CAVE Interactive Co., Ltd. (located in Tokyo, CEO: Masahito Ito, JASDAQ Stock Code: 3760) is proud to announce that the latest release, “DODONPACHI MAXIMUM”, an exclusive title for Windows Phone, will be available for download on March 7, 2012.

A full-fledged manic shooter on your smartphone! Here is what DODONPACHI MAXIMUM is like:
DODONPACHI MAXIMUM is a serious “Danmaku” style shooter that can be played with the swipe of a finger.　The players board on a shooting simulator machine developed by a fictional weapon manufacturer EVAC* and embark on missions to dodge the barrages of fire and defeat the enemies projected on screen. Appearances from ships and enemies from CAVE’s past titles such as DODONPACHI BLISSFUL DEATH and DODONPACHI RESURRECTION is another notable feature of the title.
* From CAVE’s 2003 shooter Ketsui: Kizuna Jigoku Tachi

 Easy controls with just a swipe of a finger
To make shooting experience on smartphones as intuitive and fun as possible, DODONPACHI MAXIMUM was created with the simplest controls without hindering the adrenaline-rushing quality of dodging enemy fire and blowing up adversaries. All shots are fired automatically so all you need is a single finger to navigate your ship through the barrages of bullets. You can maximize the gameplay by tapping on the screen with two fingers to launch powerful explosives. A serious shooter with easy controls, DODONPACHI MAXIMUM brings the excitement of a manic shooter to wide range of players from beginners to hardcore shooting fans!

 Caters to all levels of players
The five available stages change in difficulty level depending on the results of the previous stage, providing challenge even for the experts of the genre. You can also use combos and items to aim for higher score. DODONPACHI MAXIMUM is a shooter made for everyone.

 Music composed by WASi303
With WaSi303 on composing duties, DODONPACHI MAXIMUM features colorful remixes of past titles including DODONPACHI BLISSFUL DEATH and DODONPACHI RESURRECTION.

March 7th (this Wednesday) worldwide. Excellent!
Website now has a whole load of new info too!

Second finger for bomb and score item drops based on proximity to enemies.
I'm really looking forward to seeing how this handles compared to the iOS games.

Cave have been pretty canny here. releasing it as a sort of spin-off with the "simulator" scenario means that, if it's popular they can port it to other devices, but if it's not they can just claim it's not part of the series canon so non-WP7 owners are less likely to be annoyed about missing out.

Oh, also - hints of at least one hidden fighter:

So that's what I've been doing wrong this whole time >_>

[Icarus]

Cute 8bit version of Ai.
Hope it appears on iOS at some point.

[Casper<3]

hope it gets a XBLA release eventually.

[16bitFil]

hope it gets a XBLA release eventually.

I really wouldn't hold your breath for that. Depending on the feedback it receives it may end up on iOS and/or Android though.

...Unless Microsoft have it locked down with some sort of cast-iron exclusivity deal.

Who wants to bet the 2 unlockable ships are the panzer jagar and tiger schwert.

[Illyrian]

Gameplay looks like fun, graphics look like shit.

Hopefully the 3 people who have a windows 7 phone can enjoy it.

Kinda bored of the DFK soundtrack remixes now though. I mean it literally looks like 95% DFK with SDOJ's hyper system.

[drunkninja24]

Wonder if it would be possible to play this on MS's Windows Phone 7 emulator, lol. Probably not, though.
