Konami Said that they're working right now on gradius 6 for ps3. god...how will i be able to afford a ps3? Guns of the Patriots and now this...
Gradius VI? Sweet mother of all that is sacred... If it's anything as good as Gradius V, I'm going to have to sell my body for this generation of consoles...
Hope not. They've made a fantastic job on Gradius 5. Why do you think they're not in the porject? as for the 2007 thing...are you talking about thew game, or the console?
It's really unlikely that we'll be seeing the PS3 any time soon, so the 2007 date could indeed be feasable. From all reports and whatnot, it seems like Sony's still having to get everything finalized with the console. In fact, I almost wonder if we're going to see the Revolution launch before the PS3. Only time will tell. As far as Gradius VI goes, this is awsome news. Granted, it would be awesome if Treasure could develop it, but they might not have time, with a few projects in the pipeline as is: Gunstar Super Heroes, Bleach DS, some unnamed XBox 2d game, and rumors of a sequel to Sin & Punishment. Even if Treasure in't able to work on it, as long as the Gradius IV team isn't allowed to touch the development cycle, it still might end up pretty cool.
It's not very good. Take the ridiculous difficulty of the arcade version of Gradius 3 and remove any sort of inspired level design or catchy music, such that you're left with a profound sense of having played all of this before, elsewhere, only it was more fun that time. Just a really low point in the series.
