Thanks for the link

Like Treasure, Success have been mindful of the fact that a number of gamers have 16:10 screens and added that display option which makes me very happy. Loads of other options in there too.
I'm definitely going to grab this game

I can only hope 5pb are paying attention to this and taking notes too...

Can anyone translate those achievements?

That's incredible. Considerate to add a baby mode with life bars, too! I hope UFO brings this over, at least.

English menus, very user-friendly, so many options. Very happy to have this pre-ordered.

Maybe if you can find a list of these achievements online.. the video is waaaaay too blurry. I see stuff like "1 coin clear" (three of these, probably one for each game) and "clear" (again, one for each game).

Is that a EUR thing? I'm only accustom to 4:3 / 16:9.

Holy cow, did you see all the resolution settings? We're pretty much guaranteed pixel perfection.

Did you also notice the "Gun Dogs" option in the Extras? It may just change the title screen, but even then, that's still pretty freakin cool that they put that much love into this thing.

From the looks of it, this game got more care than DOJ!

Ha, that's cool that they have 1cc listed as an achievement. Not that there's much hope I'll be attaining that one.

Confirmed that demo is coming up at jpn marketplace tomorrow.

Our TVs are 4:3 and 16:9 too. The 16:10 option is a consideration for people like myself who are using widescreen PC monitors for gaming

PC-screen thing.

There are 16:10 TVs out there, actually; these, for instance.

did you see the resolution opitions? Is it possible to have a resoltution lower than 640x480 then on a normal TV in TATE mode that it looks like the original then ?

me too, in 10 days or less we know more!

The resolution options here are not to adjust the output resolution of the XBOX360, but how the game will be displayed within the user interface (borders). i.e. if you are running your XBOX360 @ 720p (1280×720 pixels) you can display the game (240x320 pixels, native) double sized (480x640 pixels) and still fit within the borders with spaces around the image (40 pixels above and below the image) (you could go even bigger in tate). Notice in the video how when the player selects 640x480 the side note says "DOT BY DOT." That is because every original pixel is present in this perfectly double scaled resolution.

Under Game Settings>Smoothing, Nearest Neighbor is avail., which means we will be enjoying unfiltered pixelly goodness

I also noticed that under Game Settings>Game Speed, they put in options for:

60 FPS
54 FPS (TRUE)
54 FPS (BLEND)

54Hz was the native refresh for the original hardware (hence the image shift problems some people experience when playing on superguns).

You have to set your HDTV so there's zero overscan and the display resolution is 1:1 pixel perfect, though, and most brands do not allow you to do that over non-VGA sources.

That's nearest neighbor's job :)

Twiddle · Post by **Twiddle** » Mon Mar 17, 2008 11:01 pm

nearest neighbor is unsmoothed, actually

it only looks horrible if the resolution set is not a multiple of the original

Thanks for the education, fellas

Fixed.

Looking forward to getting a taste of the game before my copy ships from Play-asia.

The game demo is now up on Xbox Live (191 megs).

but only for the JAPANESE Marketplace right?

Do we as european/US Accounts make a JAPANESE Account to get the demo ?

Zaarock · Post by **Zaarock** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 2:07 pm

I tried downloading it with a fake japanese account, but apparently you need gold to download brand new demos... Should be downloadable with silver in a few days or something.

RuffNEC · Post by **RuffNEC** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 3:01 pm

make simply a new account!!

the demo rocks! It has original Pixel mode filtering

Erinu · Post by **Erinu** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:05 pm

The demo is neat. I am especially fond of the boss rush mode, featuring a single boss.

RuffNEC · Post by **RuffNEC** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:40 pm

what did you expected ? the whole game?

I think it's good to give a look at the options and the gamelook

PsikyoPshumpPshooterP · Tue Mar 18, 2008 4:55 pm

the demo is awesome..just 1 level for each game..but so totally cool!

kid aphex · Post by **kid aphex** » Tue Mar 18, 2008 6:13 pm

so how exactly do US gamers snag the JP demo?
anyone want to lay out the process?
