[hirounder]

Famitsu article has some proper screens and art, doesn't look half bad.

The art looks fun.

[emphatic]

Kind of worrying that the score and other elements are outside the playing field. I still hope for a proper TATE mode.

[monouchi]

It's a vertical shmup! I'm gonna buy this.

Oh yeah!

[Ghegs]

Sweet, something unknown to look forward to. Here's hoping it won't be a Cave carbon-copy.

Same here, but we all know that if it doesn't resemble Cave people here are going to bitch about it like 5 year olds without their favorite lollipop.

[BulletMagnet]

loli-pop.

Fixed, lolz. Though personally I consistently see more people complaining about "Cave whiners" than there exist actual Cave whiners to complain about.

Actually... 5pb's Chiyomaru has connections to Asada, so it's highly likely that they'll be guiding them. Sakari likes shmups, he's just not good at making them.

QFFT.

I'm on the fence and 85$ + shipping is too big of a plunge for me to take on a game not made by cave.

I'll wait until the reviews/videos are in before I make a concrete decision though. Character designs are kind of meh and it's already looking too shiki'ish.

Ahaha, ahahahaha.

[MachineAres 1CC]

AWESOME. Man, we really are getting an onslaught of shmups over the next 6 months or so on 360. I love it.

[PsychoGun]

Auto buy from me, because, well, I buy everything shmup related anyway. Why not? You only live one gaming life.

[honorless]

A few full-size screenshots and some ship/enemy renders are out now. Confirms that you're piloting a ship, not a person.
I thought the old king guy was gonna be the villain, but it looks like he's playable.

The loli and trap characters will be released as DLC.

If anybody's going to TGS (ha) this will be playable at Sega's booth.

There's nothing on the website yet, but might as well link it since it hasn't been posted yet: http://5pb.jp/games/bulletsoul/

(just kidding about the DLC characters)

I posted it just nine posts above yours.

[emphatic]

I'm really digging these screens. Still worried about the "TATE factor" though. But seeing as they included that in the CAVE ports, it would be incredibly stupid to have us miss out now, right?

5pb are not exactly known for giving a damn about their websites

Sorry. Your post got lost in all the quoting for truth and Cave-related complaining.
I've got a habit of ignoring posts that start with affiliate links, anyway.

[z0mbie90]

I like to see some gameplay. I think the game looks pretty sweet.

[PsychoGun]

From the screens it has my interest peaked, but so did KOF Skystage until I played it.

The fact that I'm dropping coin on Radirgy Noah and DFK in the next two months, I'll wait to hear what the word is on this before I do a blind buy.

I'm hoping it's good though, will be nice to have a new shmup from a non-major company.

[jonny5]

the screens kinda make me think shikigami no shiro meets triggerheart exelica

Day one purcha-...

(just kidding about the DLC characters)

I hate you!

[bad-joey]

I really like the ship designs, I'm hoping the game turns out good.

[njiska]

I was thinking the same thing, though leaning more towards the Triggerheart side of things. Really want to see some video of this in action to see just how it plays.

[Vyxx]

high hopes

[supergrafx77]

I'm pretty excited about this one as well. Really like the big spherical bullets exploding from the center core. Might be premature, but reminds me more of Cave game than Shikigami or Triggerheart..., at least I pray for that to be true.
