DoDonPachi Saidaioujou coming to Xbox 360 (REGION-FREE!)

[Formless God]

Actually, I think it reads DLC ICON.

The Novice Mode's final patterns aren't too bad. They look unusually dense compared to the stuff during the stage. ASD has been destroying boss parts before triggering them, though, so that could have some influence.

Goddamn

It's been there all along.

The Tokyo location test is 2.5f days from now. TAC will be doing a Hibachi-ALL with the new type.
Bring cameras, for fuck's sake.

So, when shall we start organizing the massive suicide in front of CAVE's office for not delivering SDOJ to the west? Maybe some sacrificial blood could please then.

[Udderdude]

You first. >_>

[VixyNyan]

It would have been great if there was a localization, but personally, I'm happy that CAVE bothered doing a port of it in the first place.
It's good to have a Japanese system ready for these type of situations. ^^

[ratikal]

If people on this forum are going to the event, stock up on some posters! I would gladly buy them.

[DrTrouserPlank]

Bets are off I'm afraid. I'll only be playing arcade mode and probably not much of it either.

... So I went searching for it on the US version of Amazon, and the game is, at the time of writing, listed as "DoDonPachi Dai-Ou-Jou Limited Edition(Japan Import)".

Yes. Dai-Ou-Jou. Without the Sai.

nevermid... I think I only got a glimpse of the final

Damm, why was I sleeping?

[burgerkingdiamond]

Rancor and I just watched Yotsubane from Crimzon Clover clear SDOJ first try at the Matsuri. He no missed up until the last boss and ended up barely clearing it on his last life. I wasn't sure if he was going to make it.

The rest of the Matsuri was complete shit though. Absolutely nothing going on and they wouldn't give us posters because we didn't have our receipts for pre-ording SDOJ.

[Udderdude]

I got my jp 360 hooked up again .. COME AT ME BRO.

Demo of Saya's ship. I think this was shown at the latest Cave fest.

Christ, all the distracting crap on the sides is horrendous. Who on earth thought that was a good idea. Hope you can turn it all off.

Asada's idea. He's a bit of a numpty, but I'm sure it's all for the recluses and easily removed (along with the voices.)

Speaking of voice acting, really no idea why anyone led folks to believe SDOJ would see localisation. Along with the almost complete disinterest the west has shown in Cave games, re-recording dialogue would never happen (would most likely be cut entirely) and I'd be surprised to see a third party publisher risk their necks on yet another danmaku after all the previous market failure. Still, stranger things have happened - I certainly never expected to find Psyvariar in a UK game store all those years ago.

[KAI]

The AST doesn't sound too awesome.

"Kimochiii! Saya pyon pyon shichau" Worst Cave CV evarrr!! Aya Hirano shut the fuck up!

[ciox]

Those faces are pretty awkward when they're rendered so big but with no lipsync or transitions between expressions.
Also when the loud boss warning comes in and they just sit there with braindead smiles for a while.

[KAI]

WARNING!! WARNING!!
YOU BOTH ARE GOING TO DIE!!

[Udderdude]

kawaii lazeru desu ne~

[shmuppyLove]

Donpachi Corps go!



Ah crap we're screwed.

[Illyrian]

I hope you can set the options so that they shut the fuck up.

But seriously, do they EVER stop talking!?

[dan76]

No, they've done it on purpose... they talk all the time. Fuck Cave.

Lol, this about covers it.

[O. Van Bruce]

Damm it CAVE, you really surpassed my very worst expectations. Evn so, it could be done better and I hope this is just a test (let's not forget the Opening movie shitfest). Just to remind you of another example, Kid Icarus also had conversations all the time bettwen Pitt and Palutena.

WARNING!! WARNING!!

Damm it KAI, I was trying to drink my hot cocoa here

but I'm sure it's all for the recluses and easily removed (along with the voices.)

Don't do it! this is just another way to test your skill at shmups, beating a game with 2 (or 3) animu girls talking all the time.

[Udderdude]

Hot flaming~u death desu ne ^_^;

[Skykid]

Just to remind you of another example, Kid Icarus also had conversations all the time bettwen Pitt and Palutena.

Which is absolutely ungodly when you didn't see it coming (like me), but to its credit is actually fairly well produced and voice acted - at least to the point that it becomes mildly amusing as you get used to it.

But KI is a different kind of thing, I can't imagine yapping in a full shmup is going to help one's concentration much.

It's been Asada's MO to steer Cave toward an otaku/touhou pleasing niche since he came on board with Deathsmiles. And it's awful.

The difference being that ZUN doesn't sexualize his characters.

^So much this... at least 2hus are fairly normal girls if we take those superpowers out.
