The shooter games thread returns! The Empire Of Ammo says, EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!

WOOT! wait was it confirmed US xbl too?

Yep.

You all blow for not buying Space Invaders IG

Anyway I finally beat it a few days ago. As soon as the game gets to the non-iphone levels it gets much more challenging. I have to say that that it’s still better on the iPhone because of the speed of your finger versus an analog stick/d-pad and more vertical space. I do like the exclusive ships however and the field ship is just down right fierce but not entirely broken.

woot!

Hey, I own both the iPhone and PS3 versions of IG (including the Darius iPhone DLC). Although I haven’t beaten the PS3 version yet - been slacking on getting shot.

Also, on a random note, does anyone else remember the PS2 shooter Homura?

Heh. That was a first day buy for me. Yeah, that Field weapon just plain makes bosses bow down.

Q: How is the classic weapon,snipers, and powerful drugs alike?
A: One good shot is usually all you need. :rofl:

That damn search weapon bugs though. If you haven’t powered it up, damn thing can’t hit anything faster than that fatass mothership. Still, the power level is good even at low-levels.

Hmmm. I looked it up(Homura that is), but it doesn’t look familiar at all. I wonder if we will be blessed enough to get it as a DLC?

@Dev: Hey dude, I downloaded the game you put together, but this computer and the other one are being cockstains about letting me play it. I think this Christmas I’m getting a laptop from Alienware and this hunk of slo-motion sickness will be getting shot and thrown down the stairs. Until then, Time to get my Soldner X-2 chops back in order. :tup:

ALSO: [media=youtube]SHgzjsOg9uc&feature=related"[/media] This is apparently an old game, but the soundtrack whoops more ass than an angry black woman substitute teacher in a roomfull of redheaded stepchildren. :rock: I don’t know if I’d be able to concentrate with that going.

Man Vanquish is a totally a shmup. It’s nuts. Bullets flyin all over the place, sweaty palms and beating hearts. Games intense. I been gettin shot all over the place.

Finally found this thread!!
It’s good to know that anything from XBLA Japan should have a very high chance to be on general XBLA because I didn’t realize Guwange is coming out so early since I believe that Mushihime-Sama Futari Platinum Edition is coming out around the same time as well.

I just got KOF Sky Stage…I dunno, to me, I think it has been designed very badly in terms of player and enemy bullets being very identical. Anyone have any tips? I know I should be taking advantage of the special attacks that recharge over time but preference wise, I do like using Kula the most but her ā€œshieldā€ move is level 2 I believe.

I was hoping for Otomedius Excellent coming out this month but unfortunately I guess it’s true that it’s been pushed back to January 2011…

wait. so it comes out tomorrow? crazy shizzle. first that crescent pale mist game for psn now guwange is coming out. awesomeness overload!

im outi

Roberth

dammit. I wanna grab a box sooner now.

-Starhammer-

black friday is coming soon…

I can’t believe Guwange comes out tomorrow, the wait was much shorter than I expected. Looking forward to seeing what the fuss is about.

Picked up Guwange. The game is great, but unfortunately, for some unknown reason, the game forces 16:9 if you play on a 4:3 screen, which means, no fullscreen tate ability on a CRT. Lame. Also, the advanced display options (things like zoom, filter, etc) are buried ridiculously deep in the menu system, and most people will likely never find them.

That said, the game is fantastic and everything I’d expect and more from Cave.

Dammit!! DLC PSN WTF?!?!?!

(Yeah. For any parents who are scratching bald spots in their heads while reading this over their kid’s shoulders, those nine letters are indeed a complete sentence. :looney: )

-Stormhammer-

Ya know, real talk, I’ve bought every single Cave release this year (and will buy the last one next week) and I’m pretty proud to say that. This is the best time since the 16bit days to get shot. God bless the shmup fans!

damn. I’ve come to realize that I have, in fact, NOT played guwange. :wow: it looks and sounded familiar, but I have now realized that I have NEVER played it. I checked some screenshots and it’s all greek (Or Japanese) to me. Looks like I’ll have to get down and soon.

-Starhammer-

^It’s weird. So far I only kind of like it but I only played for like 10 mins. Son is SRK going to have to pitch in and help you get an import 360? You are missing out and it saddens me.

Hey, I need an import 360 too =(

Don’t worry. A 360 is already on my list for Dec. Until then, I can always use MAME to get a fix. I just hope they’ve ironed out some of the issues in X-Box by then. I’m not gonna be happy if I have to pause for the RROD every few stages.

-Starhammer-

Oh. It’s you…

Yeah that like doesn’t really happen anymore.
