Bullet Soul: Infinite Burst coming to Xbox 360

[Tokyo-J]

Not sure if a sequel really nothing else announced other then a title and platform.

Hope this gets a PS3 port. Want more shmups.

I still think G.Rev should just release Strania + Side Vower and Senko no Ronde DUO on the PS3 as a dual game package. The themes mesh well with mechs and whatnot and PS3 owners haven't tried SnR nor has DUO been released here in the west yet. I suppose it's a matter of $$$ more than anything as usual.

They don't sell 360's where you live?

[ZaKa-tokyobassist]

I'm not buying a 360. I figured I'd establish that now. All consoles break but the 360 literally pushed my patience with it. No reason why I went through 4 360s but somehow my SNES is still kicking.

[Alfred]

You had four Xbox 360 break on you?, Ok that is not normal. My elite lasted like 2 years and 7 month then red ring. Then i got a Slim which i have had over 2 years i think and had zero problems with, I am a very heavy user and play games/watch films tv everyday.

Anyway looking forward to more Bullet Soul games the first one wasn't perfect but a nice break from all the Cave stuff.

Day one if region-free

Your call. :shrugs:

I like Bullet Soul, looking forward to what 5pb has prepared for us!

And my 360 has been going strong for five years already

[KAI]

More RESONATOR or GTFO.

[Phellan Wolf]

I find it strange since the latest 5pb adventure games are being released on Ps3 and Vita but a Bullet Soul sequel only on 360?? This might mean that Ketsui on Ps3 has just bombed, and they have realized that the audience is on 360. Well time will tell.

[Special World]

They really gotta tweak the scoring with this one for me to be interested. Bullet Soul was way too basic.

[stryc9]

Holy fuck, yes.

Despite the various flaws, I really enjoyed the first game. If they can provide actual difficulty settings this time, patterns more akin to the version B DLC and a bit more of an in-depth scoring system that would be great.

The J360 marches on with yet another shmup release

[unusedSUITCASE]

If it actually includes the "bullet souls" in some way it might be a good game.

[MR_Soren]

Bullet Soul was alright. I'll buy this if it's region free in the hopes that they've tweaked the formula enough to make it a great game.

Version B patterns and boss health without changing the Version A stage medal/loop requirements would have been enough to make a good game instead of 2 mediocre outcomes from the same formula. Loved the Caravan mode, the whole thing really worked well with the pointblanking, speedkilling, and bonuses. Wonder if they've picked up any former Hudson staff?

[Kiken]

Good to see 5pb expanding on this IP. I'm guessing that they'll go the 360 release-patch obvious bugs-NESICA release path that several other companies have been taking recently.

[NeoStrayCat]

Well, this is good news indeed (well, at least for those interested), already 1500(G), went though it enough and so on, and yes, hope to be reigon free, I'm still surprised the 1st BS hasn't even hit platinum collection status ever (I'm still surprised how much they're still selling it at an expensive price...New/Used prices nowwithstanding in certain retailers.)...>_>

[Aleksei]

Looking forward to it considering I enjoyed the first one.

SNES/SFC = solid state survivor. Comparatively a 360 ain't shit but a bunch of dicks, as they say down in engineering.

[ACSeraph]

They would need some major changes to the bullet canceling formula to get me interested in this one. I end up nearly dying of boredom every time I play and alwaysquit after a single halfassed run.

[Casey120]

Will the bullets make it to the ship this time ?

[Mero]

(EDIT:nvm, it's on the siliconera page in the OP anyway)

[dcharlie]

This might mean that Ketsui on Ps3 has just bombed

it failed to get into the top 30 which means it failed to sell 3k copies in it's release week, the stores are full of second hand copies and there's no shortage of games on shelves - ltd ed or not.

I think it's fair to say it didn't sell very well

[AntiFritz]

the stores are full of second hand copies

People have already started trading it in? If so that's sad to see. The same thing happened to akai katana here, to the point where I've never seen a new copy in ebgames only pre-owned.

I'd guess that's more likely an indication that after awhile the store stopped selling the game new altogether, and just unwrapped their remaining new stock and began selling all of it as "used" to try to get rid of it. Not that that's any more encouraging a situation than your suggestion, heh.

[CStarFlare]

Do stores actually do that? Wouldn't they just drop the price on the new version?

[BulletMagnet]

I know Gamestop does that, though the amount of time involved varies from game to game: once a particular title has been out long enough they'll only sell it used, and if you ask someone in a store about it they'll tell you it's "no longer sold new".

Back on topic, I'm interested to see what 5pb does with this...hopefully they set their sights for it a bit higher than "hey, we didn't steal code this time!"

[Bonus!]

Gamestop is quite shady, actually. Here's an example: Apparently, the Wii game Xenoblade Chronicles is highly sought after. Gamestop sold used copies for $90. Now that game apparently had a small reprint run, and what does Gamestop do? Unwrap the game and sell it as "used" for $90 instead of the MSRP!

I never did get around to buying the original Bullet Soul. I hope 5pB do the same thing Qute did and bundle both games together. (with the DLC of BS)
