Whatever it turns out to be, I'm definitely excited. Radirgy was a fantastic game from Milestone and I certainly can't wait to see what's next from these guys.

Haven't we been through this? The game is going to be on NAOMI.

One thing I'd like to add, Radirgy had a very quick turn-around time for the port. The final NAOMI game went into distribution in October of 2005. Two months later, in December, we got the official home-port announcement to DC. In February of 2006, we actually received the DC port. That's a meer four months between arcade release and DC homeport. So if the game is Loke Testing at the end of the month, it's safe to assume that October could very well be the arcade distro month.

Well if it isn't for NAOMI ,I'll bet it'll be on a triforce board.
One things for sure, you can expevt a Wii port. And I'll hope they'll do one to for you DC nuts.

In anycase I really should start playing Rajirugi,I have had the GC rev lying around the house since launch and only played it once, it's just I'm so busy with truxton and hellfire *sob*

G.Rev played a rolein creating the engines for Treasure's last two high-profile shmups, since the way the homing lasers flew in Ikaruga and Gradius V (I have never seen a Gradius boss fire homing lasers like they did in Border Down and Rayforce prior to Treasure's intervetion) and the amount of technical expertise required to pull off those fantastic scrolling effects could only come from Taito's old guard. I'd post the Gradius V credits too, but I'm having problems getting my scanner to work at the moment. =\
G.rev did more than just work on the engines in fact. Lent some artwork as well as programming and were pretty much full-time team members for the later stages of development.

Would someone be kind enough to check out the Loke Test tomorrow and report back to the forum?

Actually I haven't seen any mention of Naomi except at the DC-scene site. Where did this come from? *-neo

Actually, this looks exactly like Radirgy. The ring, the sword attack...

I had hoped for a bit more innovation, but I love Radirgy, so I won't complain.

Rajirugi with a more flexible sword attack, not unlike Chaos Field's. Hopefully that 5 seconds of video doesn't sum up the game.

Yeah, where did anyone mention (by fact) that the game is on Naomi?

Yeah, I don't think we can say it's on Naomi yet...

But, that short clip does look so much like Radilgy part 2! :lol:
The ring weapon and explosions are showing it to have the cel-shaded look.

Once again for the Nth time, it is a shmup and I won't complain.

If this isn't a sequel to Radirgy I hope they're keeping the style consistent -- as in I hope they don't make the enemies non-cel shaded, `cause the explosions are.

Hopefully MileStone will update their website after the weekend and post some decent video clips. More official art would be nice too.

That definately looks like some sort of follow up to Radirgy-not just the ring, but the explosions look identical to Radirgy.

Yeah, then GRev would have to develop something in order to try to make it the last game released again, and then Milestone would go for it anew after that, then GRev again... ;)

I hope it comes to DC.

I don't understand why the DC cannot be the shooters choice system.

That would be fucking sweet.


Think about it, years after the PS3 and 360 are dead, small shmup developers keep making DC shmups trying to be the company that makes "the last DC game". It would be awesome.

I wouldn't be a bit surprised; it would make a lot more sense for Japanese shmup developers to focus on the Dreamcast then on the XBOX 360, which has done so poorly in Japan.
