New NEOGEO / Dreamcast game: "NEO XYX" NG: DEV.TEAM 2013

[psoslayer]

The quality of the games aren't too important to their target market, so it would actually be counterproductive if they were good.

Oh... but they are good.

What's funny about that quote is that the writer needs someone else to tell him XYX is based on Truxton... and what Truxton is. The Hellwigs' standard approach is to copy a classic game and stick it on a type of cartridge that collectors will pay disproportionately large prices for. The quality of the games aren't too important to their target market, so it would actually be counterproductive if they were good.

It's definitely Toaplan-inspired, but I don't think it's going to end up being a copy of one of their games. The only game I can think of that they did that with is GunLord. Fast Striker and Last Hope are both substantially different from the games they're taking inspiration from.

I'm not sure if you've played GunLord, but it's pretty good. Not incredible, but certainly miles ahead of the average indie game, and TBQH probably better than the Amiga Turrican games in terms of control and general fairness. Fast Striker was also quite decent, and is a lot of fun on an arcade cab.

Perry Sessions will make all the difference in the world. This can't turn out to be a standard ngdev game (even though they are good).

This is Perrys thread on the dev board: http://shmups.system11.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=27050

Not many of the repliers here seems to get that he's one of "us".
As my sig says: Rozyrg is god, live with it!

Obviously I like Gryzor a whole ton, but let's face it, he's only providing art for these guys.

[psoslayer]

lol the gameplay looks better than perrys version already

somehow I get the feeling that since Last Hope peeps are ashamed to like NG:DEV.TEAM games.

What are you talking about, Fast Striker and Gunlord are awesome games. Of course the games aint gonna be same class as CAVE, Raizing or other STG devs, NG:Dev are indie, and for being a indie dev team that release their games on actual Neo Geo and Dreamcast hardware I think they are super good.
Some people are always gonna bash and talk smack about new games, but the game ain't even released yet it's just a trailer of a beta

The Pink Bullets version is really good though.

So much fanboyism in this thread, it's maddening

[burgerkingdiamond]

I like Fast Striker and I'll get this for DC. Based on the trailer though I think they should put some more effort into the graphics. I like the style, but a few more frames of animation would help a lot. Even just a slight banking when enemy ships move across the screen.

BCG are running a competition to win Neo XYX - LE for the Dreamcast and some nice poster art.
Free stuff so… http://battleclubgaming.com/2013/03/30/preview-neo-xyx/

[psoslayer]

whoa... this thread is up again

@Sier: Great stuff man!

[chempop]

Five bucks says they won't fix the horizontal scrolling delay, no wonder the pilot swears when you get shot.

I didn't notice this, what are you talking about here?

[chempop]

The timing of the backgrounds scrolling horizontally and ship movements are not fluid, it's as if the player stops moving and the background takes a split second to catch up.

[Udderdude]

Oh, I see it now. Well, seeing as those vids are from Nov. 2012, we can only hope it's been taken care of.

Another gameplay vid, more polished with some music and stuff could go a long way to assuage that.

Soooooo where's the vids, man? :O

The regular edition of NEO XYX MVS is now available for pre-order.

[RaidenViper]

When is the MVS scheduled for release? Still this month?

NGDT site / shop mentions next month - Release is TBA. It is currently planned to be released in July 2013.

[6tusBeckmesser]

Has anyone actually filmed the location test at Wasshoi? Trying to read up on everything but there is very few information (even on this thread) on how it went.

[Shou]

Release is TBA. It is currently planned to be released in August 2013.

[OdiousTrident]

Do people think we'll see a release this year? Play Asia now states September but I'm not sure how much communication they have with NGDEV.

[Kollision]

as with everything that's of homebrew origin, it WILL get delayed till some people lose patience

It's a tradition!

[system11]

A tiresome one, having paid for this some time ago it's actually taking longer than Kickstart projects, and that's saying something.

[TransatlanticFoe]

It's hidden in a Facebook comment but they're looking at finishing the NeoGeo version this month with the DC port due in December.

[system11]

They should post it here. Fuck Facebook.
