1080p 60fps goodness
Game is looking great. I played a little of it and it's great. There are bugs that need to get worked out, but overall the game itself is going to be one to talk about.
Looks great, but it really needs a video. Voted yes.

Yeah, there's no video on their site yet either.
It's Studio SiestA by the way, they also did Trouble Witches Neo!
Re-posting from the other thread since I don't see a lot of people here over there and vice versa.
Sky Force is releasing on April 30th. One of the better if not the best Shmup on iOS. It's definitely the most popular. It has been redone without any microtransactions or stamina and graphics have been updated.

Poland putting out a stellar Shmup. Never would have though.

I love it on iPad, great game. I'd never go as far as saying Sky Force 2014 is even close to being the best shmup on iOS (not with stuff like Raiden Legacy, Cave's releases and so on) but it's up there with the greats; the hook is in beating your friends' progress (which is visible in-game similar to Temple Run) so the fact SF14 was F2P benefited the game in having lots of players; also the upgrades and missions with objectives based system to unlock the levels and difficulty progression meant it is pretty different from your usual shmup, which is why the microtransactions never bothered me, I'd even argue that it made for a better game since credit feeding wasn't an option and made you stay focused every time you played. I only paid the $2 to remove the ads forever and double the stars you earned. Visually it was spectacular on iPad Mini 2 and it still is. Definitely one to buy.

Raiden IV Overkill is on sale for a measly $6! Well, $8 if you don't have PS+ but still a GREAT deal.

bad gameplay lol
Buy Raiden IV Overkill and Mamorukun Curse while they're on sale if you don't have them yet. Both are fantastic.

Deathsmiles 2 wasn't the only one, Under Defeat HD was released for NA market in the same manner last year.

Has anyone played Project Root yet? Came out on PS4/Vita yesterday, looks fun.
EDIT: Never mind, all the reviews seem to be middling to bad. Gonna pass on it.

I bought it anyway. I want to see more SHMUPs on PSN. The more the better.
Shame, it looked kinda cool.
I think that was only on 360, it got a physical release on the PS3. Also wasn't Deathsmiles 2 just the Japanese version dumped on the US games on demand? I'm assuming they translated Under Defeat as it got a real release on the PS3.

Am I hearing right that Under Defeat HD on PS3 has more slowdown than the original version? It felt like it was WAY more than any arcade game should have (near constant, not just when complex patterns are on screen). I can't bring myself to open my 360 limited edition just for better performance, but I was wondering if the base game is better than the PS3 port.
How do digital games work on 360 anyway, are regions still relevant? I have a Japanese 360. Not sure how many shmups are on XBLA for US or Japan anyway though. (Almost) all games having a digital version this gen is how last gen should have been.

Bought Sky Force today. It's looking pretty good on the PC. It's the first Shmup I've played at 120fps. Can't wait to upgrade my ship. Lossless screenshot of the game at 1440p:
Wow didn't know aout this game til I read this post lol.
I take it is not a bullet hell?
Games on Demand often have similar regional restrictions to their physical equivalents if they exist, but I think there's an added layer of IP check for region locked games. Buying Japanese Raiden IV in the U.S. from the Japanese marketplace to my JP console was an obnoxious process as the game wouldn't purchase and download without me using a Japanese VPN.
Shooting Love seems totally region free though. It downloaded and plays fine on my JP console with no VPN involved.
It's not bullet hell, but it's hard at later levels. The Skill-up system and the weapon aesthetics that come with it are really enjoyable.
Gensou no Rondo, the touhou Senke no Rondo clone that was recently granted an official license by G.rev, will be out on JP PS4 on June 6. Here's some footage from the original PC version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WqnbHnhDBj4

Ok, bought. Reminds me of Raptor, which was awesome.

I finally got ahold of Ginga Force and Eschatos. This is a very cool package with a feel of its own to it.
Going to need to check a translation guide constantly for Ginga Force, but it's said to be very rewarding by those who had the patience.

It's still on the way, it's just taking a lot longer than expected because the only thing left to be completed has to be done by me, and I've been sidetracked by other work that keeps popping up. I'm working on it as fast as I can, I know you're excited for it and I want to get it completed as soon as possible.
Has this been posted? There's a kickstarter for a shooting game called Dimension Drive.
Similar principle as the 3DS platformer Fractured Soul, where you switch between two screens.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2awesomestudio/dimension-drive
20 hours to go, needs another 10,000 EUR to get funded.

Hoooooooooly crap. A Senke no Ronde clone? I'm all in.

I see Ketsui PS3 in Play-Asia's daily sale alert list and start freaking out. Then I look at the price and it's $51.99.
God dammit Play-Asia.

lol, that's a shame
They had a great deal on the Asian version of Caladrius PS3 a while back (like, $15)
If that's the cheapest it is right now you should go for it!
When I got the PS3 version all I could think about was "man, I wish I had imported a J360 and this years ago."

I know, I bought it! :lol
Seems the 360 version of Caladrius got a PEGI rating.

I have popped that game once on my PS3. So much to play these days.
Well, too bad this is nothing like Raptor.
In fact, while pretty, the game is easy, bland and repetitive.
The multiple goals mean you have to replay a level 3-4 times to proceed, maybe even "farm" *gasp*
Sorry guys, I am sure a lot of effort went into this.
What a shitty thing to do.

it's worth $51. not just because it's ketsui, but it's one of the better cave ports in port quality, and has one of the best cave arrange modes, so you're actually getting two games.

Have there been any new SHUMPS on XBLA over the past year or two? I'm trying to figure out how to burn my last $30.
Have:
Deathsmiles
Radiant Silvergun
Trouble Witches Neo
Guwange
Bangai-O
Ikaruga
Rez
Triggerheart Exelica
Thinking:
Raystorm HD
Strania
Omega 5?
Are there something better or something I'm not thinking about besides those 3? It's hard to find more recent lists so not sure if there's something else I should be looking at.
Thanks!

Strania is a must-buy.
When does your credit expire? It might be worth it to wait out a potential Caladrius GoD release.

End of this month since it was points they converted to the new money system.
Edit: Also, Strania purchased. $20 left.
Raystorm is a bad port...stay away.
Strania is awesome if you like weapon-changing shooters...two games with the DLC.
Omega 5 is rather boring.
Also, Shooting Love came out last month for 20 dollars.

I don't see shooting love, when I click Browse?
What's bad about Raystorm?
Edit: Weird, could only find it by actually searching.
