You apparently have never played Darius-R as its a port of Darius Plus which is only a resizing of the game. Sidestory......?
Despite the existence of Darius-R, because of apparently new features (unlike Darius-R, for the most part) and the fact that it is being made for hardware more powerful than used for the last entry (clearly the PSP is stronger than PSX-based hardware, and the SNES was not stronger than arcade hardware made at that time or even later on in the SNES' lifetime), this is clearly the next BIG step in the series (which I do not consider Darius Twin/Force as such).
Not sure how you are coming to this conclusion. I'm looking at this more like Gradius ReBirth which seems to be the direction of it other than they are trying again with the 3d thing. Unless they really make the levels long, you can see by the grid map that there is 11 zones which G-Darius had 15 zones. Say what you want, but I'm also looking at the facts. from 15 to 11.
Uhm... the FX-1 A and B boards are PSX-based.
But who cares what chipset is it coming for? It's a new freaking Darius!
