DoDonPachi Saidaioujou coming to Xbox 360 (REGION-FREE!)

[TrevHead (TVR)]

That's not the trailer, that's the opening movie. The video that plays whenever you start the game.

Oh!? hmm I would prefer an good old fashioned attract screen.

[pestro87]

I hope that Cave make it so that you can't skip the opening movie

[mdsfx]

... the more X-TREME it is.

*MARKETING MATERIALS NOT SUITABLE FOR DISTRIBUTION OUTSIDE OF JAPAN

[Muchi Muchi Spork]

WTF

[Giest118]

Also what is the deal with Hibachi

the movie is making her out to be like an ally or a friend or some shit

but Hibachi is not one of those things

[TrevHead (TVR)]

That's evil of the most vile kind!

[BPzeBanshee]

It's obviously a conspiracy. What Cave have omitted from their website and trailer is that Hibachi will be like a bomb replacement (spamming bullets everywhere going ALALAALALALALA) and the position of TLB and TTLB has been relegated to that OLOLOLOLOLOLOLOWUGA guy from DoTonPachi Maximum's bonus minigame.

Cave just uploaded the Opening Movie to youtube if anyone is interested

Hahaha what the shit was that
it's like half way through they were like "Shit we're running out of ideas, let's just slap some gameplay footage on there"

[Phellan Wolf]

Did anyone notice the lack of penis and vagina from tedy bear and rabbit???
An then I thought that DSIIX art was their worst art ever.
Damn this intro is so fucking retarded that I keep wondering how much crack have IKD and Asada recently taking. Sighs....

That was astoundingly..... lackluster. I guess it's better than the college Flash project intros in Caladrius and Otomedius Gorgeous (SDOJ's intro at least has a couple of frames of animation)... but it's really put to shame by the likes of Otomedius Excellent's intro and Triggerheart Exelica Enhanced's intro (which even uses recycled scenes towards the end).

Yeah.. I don't know what they were thinking including the stupidly zoomed in keitai-recorded gameplay footage... Like, they payed someone money to render the A-Type craft and a boss... and then they couldn't afford to show the ship actually dodging through some bullet patterns and firing?

Seems they're using the same interface for the port as they did with Mushihimesama HD.

[Skykid]

Cool stuff followed by generic anime bullshit followed by some kinda cool stuff.

Bleh over all. Should have had Namiki write something interesting instead of girly j-pop theme number #287

Perfect distillation of everything insufferably shit about current Japanese anime/game trends.

Terrible animation
Bog standard carbon character designs
Ear bleedingly awful music
Ten minute production values
Derivative everything

Next time there's a conversation about why this is/isn't trash, rose tinted spectacles and nostalgia goggles, I'll just cite this video as reference.

[Formless God]

The instrumental sounded ok until the vocal kicked in
They should've hit up the studio that did the toohoos PVs. Those have actually good animation and boolits.

Also what is the deal with Hibachi

the movie is making her out to be like an ally or a friend or some shit

but Hibachi is not one of those things

Type-Z has the EVAC logo splattered all over her. Hibachi is an unlockable and the TLB is Colonel Long Hyena that's not even an original joke anymore

you will never have another game with Akai Katana interface

Next time there's a conversation

Protip: There will be no conversation on this shitty topic as long as you don't attempt to inject every single thread with it.

Actually you already did with Dodonpachi Maximum. Not the same interface exactly of course, but the same team.

Good, I prefer usability and attract modes plus initial saving then flashiness any-day.

100% agreed with your list. You nailed it.

[kid aphex]

Woof, that intro is embarrassing. What a blight on the 360 version of the game.

[Friendly]

Probably a sign of Cave running out of money and they just couldn't afford anything better.

[Skykid]

I thought the replacement of cel animation with Flash was meant to speed up production, reduce costs, and ultimately allow for vastly improved quality owing to the eradication of material restrictions. Instead we have an opening that looks like a powerpoint presentation with an equally turgid theme song.

Cave might not be high rollers, but neither were the likes of Fill in Cafe when they commissioned an animated intro for Panzer Bandit.

There are no excuses for something this poor. I want an apology from Japan for fucking everything up that I held dear.

[O. Van Bruce]

I read the coments here before watching the intro... and then thought: "Man, it can't be THAT bad"... then, I watched it.



Why CAVE?

- no impact

- no creativity

- no animation in 70% of the movie.

- memes and overused ideas everywhere.

- Even if the song is shitty, it was the best of the intro... forgettable.

- That gameplay footage AARGGH.

Damm it CAVE! I would have been happy even with an opening movie a la Visual Novel: some fixed images but with good efects and voice acting and a gameplay footage that looked cool. No, you had to deliver THIS.

[Skykid]

- Even if the song is shitty, it was the best of the intro... forgettable.

Forgettable? It's dreadful. That shit needs to be killed with fire. Sounds like it was made in McDonalds.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

It was that bad I thought it was a trailer... I wish it was

In my opinion, the whole intro must be burn to ashes, then stomped and finally some salt must be spread over it.

If they can't do something better than this then, add no intro. It hurts CAVE reputation.

[guigui]

Well, this intro makes me want to play the game. Is that the same to you ?

[matrigs]

wow it's so bad they disabled comments to fend off teh shitstorm. nice.

someone should really make like a compilation of anime openings where the characters fly in from the sides making poses. you cannot call that even generic anymore.

[Skykid]

You know our resident 4chan/weeaboo contingent can't see anything wrong with it. Silently, at the moment.

[Friendly]

IKD: "Go all out with the intro. You may spend the entire animation budget any way you like. All $10 dollars of it."

[Cagar]

Finally the opening! This HAS to be s-

What the FUCK?
This sucks ASS.

[O. Van Bruce]

Also what is the deal with Hibachi

but Hibachi is not one of those things

Also, you can't have been oblivious all this time to the fact that lolibachi was being used or controlled. We've got lots of hints even from the times of the arcade release.

[TrevHead (TVR)]

I suppose all that really matters is that the Japanese like it. I wonder if they do.
