Let's hope for a good port...

Let's hope for 30 frames per second. I think we need a new Lake of Tears, the other seems to be drying up.

Raiden III is coming out in a few weeks, speaking of tears...

Homura will be bliss... I want this game above all others.

I imagine this is good news, even though I don't know much about the game

Same here, are there any videos of it around?

Dang, I may have to reconsider my decision to just to with a PS1 for shmups!

The game is... well... not bad I'd say. Seems the Type-X games lack a certain amount of detail... especially in the backgrounds. If Raiden III had a bit more going on in the backgrounds it would be lovely... it doesn't though, so looks a little too simple. Homura seems to suffer this as well. I'm not a graphics whore though, so willl probably pick it up.

Dave, I just did a quick search because I was looking for videos too and came up with this;

http://www.shmup.com/?id=77

2 videos on there. I think the game looks pretty cool, although I know nothing about it outside of those videos.

Thanks, I'm downloading these now!

The Homura video links on click-stick bbs are no longer working.

I dunno, the explosions in Raiden III do look pretty detailed; with pieces flying all over, ala Raiden II and DX.

They are perhaps, the ugliest part of the game, IMHO.

Homura looks pretty lacking in detail, but the backgrounds are cool in that Hard Drivin' sort of way.

Anyone know if this is a hardware issue, coincidence, or the possibility that the programmers can't program well on the hardware yet?

Rob · Post by **Rob** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 2:44 am

Graphically this is progress for Skonec. This game has some style. Psyvariar 2 was almost all space.

Out of all the new releases this one interested me the most - glad it's getting ported.

It looks quite good from from the video

What other games have the developers made? Is it the guys who made psyvariar?

captain ahar · Post by **captain ahar** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 1:16 pm

can't wait. i am very happy i will get a chance to play it all.

Randorama · Post by **Randorama** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 7:29 pm

Yeah, Skonec are the Psyvariar guys.I have to say that it looks interesting, to say the least...btw bloodf, told you so, no?

subcons · Post by **subcons** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:05 pm

Looks intersting. Heard the title before but also knew nothing of it. I'm not crazy about Psyvariar, but I own it. I'm sure I'll pick this one up at some point as well.

Anyone know the mechanics of it? I thought the attract feature worked kind of like ZG2 at first, but then noticed it definitely did not. Bonuses fly toward you, but I'm not understanding why they do or do not sometimes.

Thunder Force · Post by **Thunder Force** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:22 pm

It's being reported that Homura on PS2 will be playable at TGS, so we should hopefully have an idea of the quality of the port soon.

freddiebamboo · Post by **freddiebamboo** » Thu Sep 08, 2005 11:38 pm

Psyvariar 2 got a decent PS2 release didn't it?

I'd imagine if its the same folks it should be ok

Naomi, this is Type X.

Maybe because you were watching the game and not playing it

I'm dumping all of my hype in this one. The thing about Raiden 3 is, I still haven't finished Raiden 1, 2 or DX.
