Illvelo - Freaky Dolls, Web Browsers, and More (Milestone)

[clp]

Do some people here actually, you know, like Milestone's shmups? Chaos Field resembled an unusually high-budget doujin game, while Radirgy and Karous felt like they were done in Flash.

This one really doesn't look any different.

milestone games i enjoy massively , the best soundtracks ever period no one else is even close in this field , good addictive scoring mechanics and last of all they have the balls to use a totally different art style and they got knocked on here for it .... what im more intrigued by is every criticism you mention are purely based on the games aesthetics maybe you should try PLAYING the games . Give me milestone wacky art style over caves pedo loli crap anyday of the week .

I can't honestly say they make me jump up and down with joy or anything, but both Radirgy and Karous are good for a blast every now and again.
Not much of a fan of Chaos Field, though...

Give me milestone wacky art style over ZUN's pedo loli crap anyday of the week .

You have to admit, though, what's with the presence of glasses girls in Milestone games? Some sort of author appeal?

I wonder if Milestone has ever considered digital distribution?

[Kiken]

Slightly OT... I find it odd that MileStone still don't have a dedicated homepage for Radirgy Noa (beyond a header image), yet they've just posted an elaborate page set-up for their new fighting game Project Cerberus.

Ifumi didn't have glasses...?

Not any more, convincing argument and all.

Still waiting on Illvelo's USA release..

Come on UFO, release it already!

They all grew on me, even Chaos Field. It's MSC is currently the only Wii only/Console game I play regularly.

[sunburstbasser]

I like Milestone's games. Milestone came from former Compile employees, and I liked those games, so I figured I'd give MSC a try.

[Ganelon]

Looks like things got pushed back until next year (to release a shooter? ). Not like anyone will care though.

[MathU]

I care. In fact, I'm quite disappointed. Why can't UFO stick to their release dates?

[clp]

I care also, really wanted to play this one since its release .

[sideshow]

Well be happy that its not cancelled yet for US release. You can still see it on UFO's website as coming soon. We all saw how delayed Ultimate Shooting Collection was so this should be no surprise.

[Warp_Rattler]

I seem to recall that this exact thing happened with Ultimate Shooting Collection too, where nobody could find it for a while after release, and finally a week or so later the official date was announced to have been pushed back.

Nice to know it'll still be coming out (and will be coming out at a time where it won't be competing with--and inevitably losing to--Mushi Futari for my attention. Still, until people have actually seen a title in the wild, I always fear another O3 Radio Allergy situation.

I do enjoy Milestone's quirky approach to shooters (and love the music in their games), so I certainly don't mind waiting a bit more.

I couldn't agree more.

As a matter of fact: Chaos Field is my most hoped for game to have a sequel.

Apart from Under Defeat or ZG2, it's mine, too.

UFO's site barely has anything, but Amazon is now saying that February is the date...then again, they were wrong on the original one, so we'll have to see if this holds up.

[MathU]

They've got a neat little trailer up now. I'm guessing there was never any plan to release it in October.

I love the art style and music of milestone games, but hate the gameplay.

Wow, that IS a pretty cool trailer. Now, if they could destroy that hideos box art...

Holy fuck, I just saw the box art on Amazon and it makes the SNES Phalanx cover look good. I'm glad UFO brings these games over here, but both of their Milestone titles have covers that scream "don't buy me!"

[cj iwakura]

So Amazon's sending out preorder info now. 2/2010, with a promo video.

I knew it was Milestone immediately.


That's not really a positive.

and this is a problem because...?

Chaos Field has substance?

[MathU]

What would a Milestone thread be like without the elitist haters?

[mumu]

Stop the press! UFO updated the cover and removed JUST PLAY 4 FUN ... but it's still there.

[Momijitsuki]

I'd almost say that's worse. Now I'll have to see it when it's on the shelf.

Then again it's just as easy to turn the box around

[GaijinPunch]

Worst box art ever. On a similar note, I bought this the other day as it's down to 2000 yen, and am actually quite enjoying it. Took me about a week to clear, but the last boss timed out. He's a bit of an asshole.

I'm not sure how to feel about this, oddly enough. Sure, it's still bad boxart, but taking the JUST 4 FUN logo takes it from insultingly-super-bad, to just blandly-super bad.

...Or something like that.

How would you compare it to Radirgy or Karous?
