Bangai-O HD Missile Fury just came out for Xbox live arcade. Guardian Heroes is making it's way soon and so is... Radiant Silvergun. This is fantastic news. I'm afraid that it looks like they won't be on Playstation Network though. Well considering how much you would have to pay for Guardian Heroes and Radiant Silvergun for Saturn, you could probably buy a 360 and download these titles. Bangaio-O Missile Fury is out now, Guardian Heroes is slated for this summer, Radiant Silvergun is just set for 2011. But I hope it comes soon. I still have Bangai-O for DC and Guardian Heroes for SS. I never felt like spending $200 bucks on Radiant. I have a 'copy', but am very excited about this. I had read talk of it a couple years back and it sounded like it wouldn't happen. The Guardian Heroes release also was a major surprise. Anyone else super stoked?

I'm looking forward to Radiant Silvergun.  I've never played the original.  I'm sure I'll find it frustrating as hell, since I've never been particularly good at most shooters, and I'm downright terrible at the tactical ones like Ikaruga.  But I will buy it and give it a shot nonetheless.

Cool news, but yeah, I suck at shoot 'em ups. :(

There needs to be a Mischief Makers sequel. Shake, shake!

I'd rather get the other system if it doesn't come out on psn. I would love to get an xbox for Tales of Vesp. but I like my systems to not break. Every person I know with a 360 has had it break multiple times. The square-enix CEO just tweeted that his broke.
Oh well, I have Gundemonium to keep me busy anyway.

Impressive!  


Guardian Heroes - HD Remake (XBLA) - Gameplay Footage



12 players versus mode online with 45 playable upgradable characters will be chaotic fun unlike anything else!   Wonder if it supports teams too?

Looks great, but those two dudes chortling about beautiful, crisp pixelwork in favour of muddy, "modernized" visuals... uh. People are strange.

The last few generations of 360s have been built with much better quality than the first few.  I did a lot of research into it when I bought mine two years ago, and at that time most (if not all) of the problems had been weeded out.  I haven't had any trouble with mine, and I've left it running for hours at times.  Please don't let that hold you back from getting one, there's some really great stuff in Xbox Live Arcade.

My PS3, on the other hand....I love that big beast to death, but it overheats with any graphically intensive game like God of War III or Lords of Shadow.  It's one of the original 60GB models with full hardware backwards compatibility, so I'd hate to replace it.  I hear the newer ones are more reliable, just like with the 360.

I'll never understand the preference for smoothed out, "upgraded" graphics. Never, never.

Hopefully Treasure are taking a more careful approach to refining the visuals, though.

Yes, we are in the same boat. I bought mine a couple years ago too. The Red Res. Evil version. It has a new Jasper Chipset, and I believe runs at a different voltage. Mine's never had a single problem. Learning that the model I got should be completely fine is why I bought one finally. I've also had mine running for hours, probably up to 10-12 at a time. I'm sure the original PS3 systems overheat too. Usually with all the systems for the first couple years their are problems. I always wait till they are refined before I get a system. Though I miss out on playing it at first. It doesn't effect me. I buy systems a few years after they are out every time. Never had a system go bad on me. And by then the games are much better than early releases. Plus, you save lot's of money... I don't see how you could go wrong if you were to buy a 360 'slim'. If you just aren't interested cool, but I'm sure you wouldn't have any problems if you were to get one.

I agree here too. I got really pissed off when I downloaded Neo Geo Battle Coliseum. It's looks like total shit. You can only have smoothed out horrible ugly graphics. And yeah, I hopefully Guardian Heroes and Radiant aren't tooo 'refined'. It's cool if they have several degrees of options. Maybe, original, smoothed edges, and then super smoothed. Or however you'd call it. Though for 2D games, I always prefer Original.

That gives me some hope for getting a 360, I have had the limited edition of Tales of Vesp on my shelf for 360 for a few years now. My aunt gets a discount so I could get one at a nice price but reading about the older ones having around a 30% failure rate and all of my friends having theirs die makes me worried. I wish someone would do a failure rating thing for the slim but I haven't seen one. Your comments though may just make me run out and get one, I would only need it for a few games exclusive to 360 anyway.

I have played both RSG and Ikaruga, not my cup of tea, both felt overhyped and overpriced for their respective systems (though in RSG's case, it's far worse). I can safely say there are only two Treasure titles I have any liking for, Gunstar Heroes, and Dynamite Headdy, Alien Soldier is fair. RSG's pacing felt a bit slow to me, and Ikaruga felt more like a puzzler than a shmup, I like puzzles, just didn't like Ikaruga.

[Vampire Killer]

Definitely going to pick this up, the wife will love playing this with me.

And for the record, I sometimes prefer the smoothed out graphics. I know, I know, blasphemy right.

video proves it offers both classic graphics and new graphics options  so it's a win/win situation!
