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

That game looks solid. The visuals are neat and it didn’t feel like it was unfair/annoying with how the camera was re adjusting all the time. Gonna get this for sure.

CAVE should take some pointers. They’re really good at 2D, but I think 3D has a shit ton more potential. DSII probably back fired on them and are afraid to make a ‘leap of faith’.

It also seems like the new shooter Bullet Soul from 5pb is going to make a strong showing as well.

All pretty exciting to say the least. :lovin:

Otomedius X releases on the same day. There’s more info on Eschatos over here.

I thought this was cancelled for the PS3 and made a Kinect exclusive?

I hope that’s not the case since I want to be able to use a controller. If it comes out for the PS3 or not, I wouldn’t worry about it, because lol at owining a PS3.

Nice vid FC. I will haz XBOX for this. :tup:

I’ll probably be getting a 3DS in March.

And now this.

No wonder the music is so good, it’s supposedly done by Shinji Hosoe, the same person who did Megaman Network Transmission’s soundtrack. The style definitely sounds similar.

Also, there seems to be 4 difficulty levels instead of 3. Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hardest.

so i was able to 1 credit crimson clover on simple difficulty, which isnt too bad. maybe ill do it again and record it. i moved on to trying to 1 credit original mode, which is definitely harder, i managed to get only to the end of the 4th stage with 1 credit. i sometimes try unlimited which is ridiculous haha. it literally makes me laugh when i play it.

ive noticed that you can cancel bullets on the screen and from what i read it’s because you kill an enemy with a lock on. so it helps in unlimited if you use your lock on often.

i also use break mode and double break mode often and bombs really often because of how fast it accumulates. the thing ive noticed about break and x2 break is when you break for the first time your break meter starts at 100% then slowly goes down. if you break again after breaking it will add to the meter to 200% so you will have double break time for 200% meter.

but what ive noticed is that if you break once you get invincibility and you regain that invincibility again once you double break. so at any point during the break if wait for it to get down to 4% and you double break you gain invincibility again. which is cool, but you wont get the extra fire power. i also think you get invincibility coming out of break mode for a short period of time.

From what I can tell it’s still on for the PS3. If not, I’ll consider buying a Kinect. Still, I hope it is on PS3. That’s where I do most of my console shooting right now.

yo i was in the limiter shop, and noticed that there is a 3rd ship! however, it cost 3 million…

yeah. I’m wondering if I should save up for that or not. Part of me wants it that bad though. Still loving this game!! kicking ass is what I love doing. :tup:

-Starhammer-

Can anyone recommend any good vertical shooters for the DS or PSP?

So jealous that I’m having trouble burning the iso and you guys are just getting blown away with the new hotness.

>:-p

In other semi related news, the Bulletstorm demo is out. Like I said before, it is a FPS but you shoot all the damn time and in creative ways. Makes me think of what would happen if Contra turned into an FPS but then I kick someone into steel rebar and it makes me think of Duke Nukem on crack. Minus the titties.

Epic games: We love crazy guns and gore but we fear women!

im definitely saving up, i really want to see what the 3rd option is hahaha. because just the 2 ship types are different enough to use different strategies. i dumped the blue ship for the red, because it was too hard for me to keep track of my ship in the peripheral when looking at bullet patters. with the red i know where it is all the time because the mini ships are basically static. i have almost 800,000 credits. so i still got a while to go.

Thankfully Bulletstorm is being made by People Can Fly and not Epic games.

Einhander, Strikers and Metal Slug ftw.

gotta get my hand on Bullet Hells, they look intense

I’m thinking Giga wing will work if you can connect to the DLC section online. You’re gonna hate dodging bullets on that screen though, but it is a good vertical shooter.

I’ve been taking it old school to get shot by playing Strike Gunner STG for the SNES. Not bad, but it gets hard in a hurry.

Nanostray 2 on DS isn’t bad (avoid Nanostray 1 though). If you’re willing to import, Ketsui Death Label is probably the best one on DS, despite being not much more than a glorified boss run of the actual arcade game.

Yeah. ^This guy knows what’s up. By the third stage this game is like,“Oh. You think you got some skills eh? Let’s see what you got.” And then it proceeds to beat on you like a scene out of a snuff film. I hope your skills are better than mine were, otherwise your TV probably ended upeating the controller. :rofl:

-Starhammer-

KETSUIPACHI is almost here. I can taste it!!!
