World Reborn to get a DS sequel

Vexorg · Post by **Vexorg** » Tue Jun 28, 2005 7:51 am

It hasn't been released in the GBA version yet, but that hasn't stopped NeoPong from announcing a sequel to World Reborn for the DS. Article and some screens here (the screens look suspiciously like the standard overrendered Euroshmup graphics though...)

Most interesting is the fact that they indicate that it will have online play...

Arg! the sparkle lense flares is distracting.

But other than that the style looks appealing to me. Nice & colorful.

The game looks sedate however, but maybe it's just the first 2 levels. If the whole game's like that then I would be a bit dissapointed, since I hate shmups where enemies hardly shoots at you, and you don't have much of a weapon to shoot back either.

We'll see how this turn out.

Why haven't I heard of World Reborn? Perhaps because it is a bit too sedate for most of us here. Two RPG shmups in one year? WTF is going on here?

why professor, what is wrong with RPG shmups? Is experimentation not the nature of research? Or are you one of those conservative profs

I was going to say: "WTF is going on here? This is very cool." I left out the last part because then I thought: "Why think this is cool? It's not like I've ever played an RPG shmup. Maybe these will suck and my money will be wasted."

12 or more years ago...

I was at some random arcade...

I saw something, and said "WTF, Gradius?! This is very cool." I left out the last part because then I thought: "Why think this is cool? It's not like I've ever played a shmup. Actually what is a shmup?! Maybe these will suck and my money will be wasted."

But I stuck the coin in nonetheless. My life was never the same again.[/quote]

GBA trailer below. They've really pushed the GBA graphic hardware, the DS version should own:

Looks great to me!

I just wish that the GBA and the DS would get more attention from Japanese developers, but I suppose they're all too busy porting shmups to cell phones.

Visually they look appealing, but the gameplay just looks boring. Why can't non-Japanese, non-Korean developers make action crazy shmups? They don't have to be manic, just action packed! The GBA one sort of gave me a Thunder Force vibe, but still very tranquil.

Yeah... a bunch of enemies in uninspired formations shoot straight ahead. Likewise, a boss moves slowly up and down and fires a big laser straight ahead. Nanostray fooled me once, I won't be fooled by this.

As for being experimental, I'll let natural selection handle this freak experiment.

Ugh, foreground elements obscuring the playfield...that alone is enough to turn me off the game (not like it'd matter anyways, since I don't own any portable systems, heh). The hit detection looks a bit finicky as well...as the one blue-haired fellow in the intro said, "Yeah, what were those crazy guys at Neo Pong Software thinking?"

Nicely put, Xexyz. I'm a sucker for Nintendo handhelds, but boredom I can do without and I'm feeling bored by this even before it enters my hands. Bad sign.

OMG, I can't believe those trees in the foreground. Idiotic.

I hope these games finally come out so I can better make fun of the godawful character design. I'm such a jerk.

I think the bullet and boss patterns look fine. That one boss does more than just move up and down and shoot his laser. However, I do agree that foreground objects obscuring bullets and enemies is stupid.

has anyone even downloaded the four songs from the soundtrack on the link? they are quite good, well composed. listen to them all the way through, as they build up over the course of the songs.

man, if you want bullet obscuring parallax action, play cotton 100%. absolutely lousy with it.
