Caladrius is now available to pre-order. No word on it being region-free, but I'll put the links here for any NTSC-J playaz: Limited Edition Joe Sixpack Edition Also, if you've pre-ordered Ginga Force via Play-Asia, you might want to cancel it and order it again, as they've dropped the price by $7. Edit: totally forgot to mention that DoDonPachi Saidaioujou is supposed to be getting an Xbox release this summer. In PAL/NTSC-U territories, too! |

Lots of Ginga Force footage in this stream. They're trying the easy mode here, but you can still get a fair idea of how it plays. |

I mentioned in another thread that I have been tinkering with my PSP. This has included searching for PSX shmups I hadn't played (a lot of them, as I was dazzled by 'modernity' at the time), but also a bit of arcadey stuff where possible. DoDonPachi is difficult, but I like the way it's emulated: Attachment: DoDonPachi.JPG Hee

bcass wrote: Just saw this announced on the shmups twitter feed - Ginga Force is now available on the Hong Kong Games On Demand service for the princely sum of $299HK. The download isn't IP locked either, so you can buy it from any region on any region console with a HK gamertag. I bought it within the UK using a HK gamertag linked to my UK paypal account and it came to £25.63. More than most shmup GoD titles for some reason but still significantly cheaper than 2nd hand copies. (Of course, you may want to go for the Eschatos & Ginga Force Wonder Pack, which was recently released.) |

YOG: Do you have Bangaio Spirits? From being half-decent at the DC version, I remember there was that bomb that was stronger, the more bullets were near you. I can't figure it out on the DS, and it's the key play mechanic! Dying in seconds. |

| Author: | YOG [ Sat Aug 24, 2013 15:05 ] |
| Post subject: | Re: Shmups |
In Spirits I think you charge it up manually - proximity to bullets makes your missiles bigger, but you have to charge for a couple of seconds to fire loads of them. Should be one of the shoulder buttons? It's called the "EX attack" or something, and I think you can map it to any button you want. (There are loads of different weapons you can use for your EX attacks, and you can combine them for different effects, so be sure to experiment!) |

| Post subject: | Re: Shmups |
Yeah, the structure of it is weird. It's a shitload of random levels that aren't even in order of difficulty or anything, so just skip around and play the ones that are fun. I think it's like this partly because the level editor was intended to be the main attraction (they were really pushing the weird sound-recording method of sharing levels), but there are still plenty of good levels from Treasure in there... |

Ah, now I remember. You wait and charge, as the danger nears! It definitely seems worth having; they just seem to have spent more time on how to play the game than the game itself. |

I see Dariusburst Chronicle Saviours has appeared on Steam, at the rather eye-watering price of £29.99. (Although apparently they're after £49.99 on PS4?  )A very positive review at Eurogamer - http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015- ... urs-review And well regarded (from a limited pool of reviews) at Metacritic - http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstat ... e-saviours I'm a huge fan of the Darius arcade games (I remember first seeing the original immense three-screen cabinet at an arcade in Blackpool in the 80s and being totally blown away by it), and have revisited the whole series over the years for many, many hours in MAME. (Darius Gaiden in particular I can play and play and play.) For £15 I'd probably have dived straight in with Chronicle Saviours, but £30 is a bit too rich for a single shmup. I've added it to my wishlist and will wait for a sale. |

Why is Dariusburst still £30 on Steam? That's what I want to know. It was down at £24 for a brief period of time but I'm targeting £15, or ideally a tenner. I shouldn't be such a tightarse really but then again I do have an entire MAME-ful of fantastic shooters that I can play whenever I want. |
