There are enough extras to warrant buying it again if that isn't enough motovation. Treasure promised us Radient Silvergun if we buy us some Ikaruga.
Exactly, works also with DC/GC versions. But you're right, its only fun for 5 minutes, Ikaruga is a shooter that was made for vertical gameplay and thats it.
[pic of dollar bill] [pic of oscar and the number 4] [pic of a frayed knot] As Ikagura did get released in the west, it showing up on xbox live is nice but if you have it on say Gamecube or Dreamcast then it's not really a must have purchase. As for RS on the Xbox 360, I think there is more chance of a Bill Gates strip poker game appearing first...
Uh... where? The only time they ever commented on RS on 360 was when they said: "Well, thats a nice idea, but it'd be a lot of work, and we'd rather make new games than port another one." Seriously, porting Ikaruga DELAYED their NEW game. I would much rather they work on a NEW 2D shooter for the 360 than port games I already own.
It's very nice looking in HD, and I'm guessing it's cheaper on the 360 then on GC/DC. sucks it's digital, but whatever. I didn't buy it because I've played it enough and don't wanna spend 10 bucks right now. I love these HD rereleases though, like Rez. Fuck yes, then you have something to add to your Hentai game collection!
I downloaded the demo, but I'll stick with my DC copy. At least with that I can use my arcade sticks I have without having to buy another controller.
I stick with Assembler's opinion, paying money for Downloads equals wasting it. I have Ikaruga for GC and DC and both versions have lovely features (also both have exclusives, if only gameplay-wise) on their own. And as jp. stated already, there's no Radiant Silvergun in sight. I wouldn't download it either, wheres the point in downloading a 32 bit game that has been scaled up to 1080p? There's none I think. /EDIT Are there slowdowns in the XBLA version?
Me thinks it was taken way out of context or losing something in translation... as there is no Japanese or even a quote. PhrequincyMCXVII : I think not, not enough cute drawn anime girlies.
Erm... what he actually said was: "Its a nice idea, but it would take a lot of work, and while its a nice idea, it would take a lot of work for us to be happy with it." Also, I reiterate: New shooter from Treasure >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> another remake/port. New games >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> remakes/ports.
