DARIUS BURST CHRONICLE SAVIOURS (STEAM/PS4/Vita)

[ProcoTaito]

I'd wager it's on purpose. Especially if it was Darius Gaiden music that was playing.
The final level of Gaiden does the exact same thing, it plays silent for nearly the first 3/4th of the stage and then fades into music. I noticed this too when I was playing through the CS mode and thought to myself "oh hey, it does that thing that Gaiden does with the music".

You're exactly right: it is a Darius Gaiden track, and on the original game, the track also starts closer to the end of the stage (although the delay in Dariusburst: CS is longer).

thanks

[Shepardus]

In Darius Gaiden it's synced so that the climax of the song takes place at the same time as the final boss spawning. I don't remember if they timed it the same way in DBCS but I do remember them delaying that same track in at least one area.

[ProcoTaito]

I really do enjoy Zuntata's ability to sync up game play action to music.
Honestly, I don't really know of other shmups that quite do that kind of thing. At least not as well as Zuntata does with Darius.

I never had a PS1, so my experience with Darius Gaiden and G-Darius was minimal.
I'm actually more familiar with the tracks from both soundtracks, due to various Zuntata live videos, than the actual games.

For me, my experience with the series is pretty much: Darius, Darius II, Darius Twin, and now Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours.
I'm hoping the older titles may see a re-release on PC one of these days, so I can get to properly enjoy the entries I missed.

I get all the visual and soundtrack references in Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours in regards to the first two titles, but I am now more aware of the numerous Gaiden references after ProcoTaito pointed that bit about the game, and I went to check some more Darius Gaiden videos.
The CS Mode area I mentioned ("Sadomen") is a good example, since it's full of visual and audio references to the game.

Discovering these details and references in Dariusburst: Chronicle Saviours makes me love the game even more.
It's truly a love letter to the series. The developers did an awesome job with the game.

Dariustburst's "World of Spirit" does this too.

I always felt that "Visionerz" was synced with Golden Ogre's death and the transition to the second stage, debunking the "autofire is cheating" myth once and for all.

[ZacharyB]

I like to think that Visionnerz's calm transition synchronizing with Golden Ogre's defeat and the move to the next stage is more careful planning on the composer's part. He probably played through the first stage silent, while it was still in development, noting the general amount of time it takes to get to the second stage, and then coordinating his composition to match.

They can't beat Otocky on Famicom disk system though.

Has there been any new info regarding the release dates of the new DLCs?

Maybe Nick can share a bit of info?

[NickPalmerDegica]

Still a little bit up in the air, working out some final kinks. We should have dates soonish.

Thanks.

Some new media would be great, to keep everyone interested.

So I haven't had as much play as I would like but are the presets at the higher levels of CS reasonably balanced for a skilled player to clear the game? Using upgraded customs doesn't look so different from credit feeding to me. I figured it was only in there for the casual crowd.

Also every time I play on PS4 between stages I get this annoting error message about not being able to connect with the server. Dont know whats causing it or how to turn off the obnoxious message. Also the game freezes my PS4 every time I choose "close application" rather than power off. Seems like a pretty serious glitch.

The glitch is still unpatched, whenever the game fails to refresh my leaderboard score (CS) , it freezes at the CS world map without music. The only way is to select close application, the error I get is NW-31456-9 "Cannot connect to the server within the time limit.There might have been a problem in connecting to the network, or PlayStation Network or the server of the service provider might be temporarily busy" . The game doesn't crash when I get the above mentioned error, it just remains frozen until I close the app and restart. I hope someone in charge reads this and hopefully patch this issue in the next dlc update.

Get ready for the CAVE DLC on the 15th

A link to the trailer for the Cave DLC. New music sounds pretty interesting and the DLC looks well done.

[Durandal]

CAVE and Raizing DLC will not be released at the same day, then?

[Special World]

I don't have this game. What exactly do the DLCs look like? Are they just different ship models or what?

I feel like I should have picked this up at some point, but Darius is hit or miss with me and it was expensive.

[mice]

@Special World, this might give some clues:

I didn't know they did a metal black one, I'm so getting darius burst now.

Each dlc ship has a bit different gameplay.

I was waiting for "NEW BOSSES" to appear, but nope.

[Durandal]

Arrangers:
Wasi303 - Deathsmiles
Keishi Yonao - Dodonpachi Daifukkatsu
Yosuke Yasui - ketsui

I knew I was going to get the Ketsui DLC from the start, but this cemented my purchase even further.
Some of the DLC screenshots still have the Opa Opa text for ship instructions, however. And why is Ketsui constantly written in lower-case letters in its Steam page? It's off-putting.
(I swear some of the sprites used in the Ketsui DLC are directly ripped from the game in all their pixelated glory, not that I'm complaining)

The current US PSN sale ends tomorrow 13 December for those still on the edge of undecided.

Game is 50% off or 60% off for ps+ subscribers and the triple dlc packs are discounted 20% or 30% ps+ subscriber.

[Mero]

March 30th for the physical release.

[Special World]

What's the deal with the physical release? I assume it's for PS4--is it the base game with all of the DLC included? Or does it have some "Black Label" type thing going on that makes each release valuable for different reasons?

[amdiggywhut]

DLC drops tomorrow, yeah? Pretty amped. Still need to finish CS mode too.

It's the standard release without the DLC, there's nothing different about the software. People asked for a disc version, they obliged.

There are two versions: a standard edition and a LE that comes with the CAVE/8ing tunes on CD and multiplayer-colour variants of the Takara Tomy Silver Hawk Burst figure.

[FunktionJCB]

multiplayer-colour variants of the Takara Tomy Silver Hawk Burst figure.

You mean physical figures of the ships, not in-game content, right?

It would suck if a new edition came around, and had content that previous buyers didn't get.

Anyway, the CAVE DLCs are now out.
This truly is the game that keeps on giving...

Yeah, they're the Shooting Game Historica ships.

Thanks for the confirmation.
