You can smell a port for DS2 more than ever now.Doesn't it look like cellshaded from what i could see?I wonder what system runs this,no details yet?Wouldn't be surprised if it's an external one,a la Type-X 2,since Cave hasn't a big history in 3D stuff.And you pointed out that the game was somehow bugging/rebooting,like our beloved PCs running XP,which is TTX2's OS.

They just moved the camera on the live feed - you can actually see the screen now.

It looks pretty wild, with tons of stuff happening on the screen.

More details:

-the new character, Soupy, is 7 years old.

Argh...

Ok, well the Space Harrier-esque portions worry me but otherwise I'm curious to see how it goes down. Taito Type X2, the same thing SFIV ran on IIRC. Capcom had a relatively easy time porting that to both 360 and PS3. Given that the game is a hori as well, I think this is a step towards increasing synergy with consoles. Perhaps also the deathknell of the vertical shooter? Or maybe they'll make vert Viewlix at some point.

So apparently the first boss is a giant reindeer.

A guy on 2Ch:

"while the game is very pretty, you no longer have skulls bouncing all over the screen, and because of this the game feels unsatisfactory".

Pics and poor video.....

EOJ · « **Reply #96 on:** February 20, 2009, 02:15:59 AM »

I see there is a selectable stage map in those pics.

The graphics look OK. Sorta reminds me of a PS2 or DC 3D game. Some of the enemies (and the boss) look cheesy though.
Overall definitely not as nice looking as Deathsmiles.

Well I definitely won't be buying this arcade game, but an X360 port is pretty much definite, so it will be nice to own this for $70 around Christmas time.

So this is a hi-res game ?

I'd think so, since it's all polygonal. I don't know why they'd make a realtime 3D game in 240p.

I expected something like Blaz Blue, but finally it's 3d, better wait to play it before giving an opinion about.

retre · « **Reply #101 on:** February 20, 2009, 06:32:02 AM »

Argh! This means that Cave finally leaves the sprites?

Anyway, 3D fact apart, the game looks great.

GaijinPunch · « **Reply #102 on:** February 20, 2009, 07:30:22 AM »

I need to find a picture of a grave stone. Cave has official sold out. There's going to have to be some rockin' gameplay in this... and then it will be their one and only signature.

SuperPang · « **Reply #103 on:** February 20, 2009, 07:56:46 AM »

3D never even crossed my mind. I hope to hell this is an xmas release because if thats nearly finished it looks nothing like a Cave shooter and you're right, its a management forced sellout.

KOMA · « **Reply #104 on:** February 20, 2009, 08:48:00 AM »

The feeling i have with DS2 it is the same when SNK has made Metal Slug in 3D,what's the f**

Gwyrgyn · « **Reply #105 on:** February 20, 2009, 09:43:07 AM »

The only thing that really looks bad from what I can even make out is that there's just nothing going on on the screen. That could be a symptom of just being a beta or set at a really low difficulty, but either way the game looks really boring by comparison right now.

Ast-Kot · « **Reply #106 on:** February 20, 2009, 11:31:52 AM »

I've read that the new hardware powered by Cave is an WXp based with a ASUS M3 mother board

Go nuts.
I'm reserving judgement until I see some more footage. I'll be hella depressed if Ketsui 2 comes out in 3D, tho.

Hey that looks pretty darn good. Needs Level999 desperately though.

Midnight Milkshake · « **Reply #110 on:** February 20, 2009, 12:12:46 PM »

Still waiting for better screens or videos to judge it, but don't like what I'm seeing.

zlk · « **Reply #111 on:** February 20, 2009, 12:24:05 PM »

I think the backgrounds and enemies look great. There is a severe lack of bullets on the screen for a cave game, but that will probably be fixed. I am looking forward to the game.

Funny,on my own i find backgrounds and any character quite bland.Explosion and shot light effects look nice.Menu/inbetween stages presentation remains typical Cave polish.

Not too excited,but looking forward for Matsuri's special 3D posters! >

Gwyrgyn · « **Reply #113 on:** February 20, 2009, 01:26:27 PM »

I thought the backgrounds looked pretty good. There is a lot of depth and detail going on, especially in the daytime stage.
Doesn't even look like there's a scoring system going on yet though so there will probably be a lot of gameplay changes before the game releases. It doesn't really look very fun or interesting yet as a result.

GaijinPunch · « **Reply #114 on:** February 20, 2009, 03:40:43 PM »

I started to think "okay, it's not terrible" until I saw that castle boss. Blech. Could turn out decent (looks better than their 3D competitors, that's true) but losing sprites is definitely now a lost Cave signature.

Ast-Kot · « **Reply #115 on:** February 20, 2009, 03:52:46 PM »

Maybe I'm the only guy according to the new direction choosen by Cave but the game is only at 10% completed and I think that Cave get the rigth direction for a new era of shmups!!

EOJ · « **Reply #116 on:** February 20, 2009, 04:14:37 PM »

I stand by my original comments on the graphics, though one thing I didn't mention was the explosions, which look like ass. The graphics and the gameplay will have to be improved quite a lot before I take the game seriously. The bullet patterns are a joke so far (though interesting that there is still a lot of slowdown - must be programmed in). Hopefully CAVE is just showing this early, and will actually spend time on it and not release it until December instead of a release a few months from now.

I think it's sad that CAVE has abandoned 2D sprites, it's what set their games apart from the rest these days. I'm still holding out hope that DS2 is a one-off, and they will perhaps do Ketsui 2 on the SH3, but that seems rather improbable at this point.

A game is not playable at 10%. This is 50% or more. Traditionally Cave have only shown games at a near-complete level, and nothing has gone more than a few months after it's been shown.

Is it only me or does this game resemble Trouble Witches ? With the entire magic circle and suchlikes...

KOMA · « **Reply #119 on:** February 20, 2009, 05:39:58 PM »

It's hard to see the cave 2d spirit away.It looks like Trouble Witches and a bit Otomedius wich is not a compliment....
