Radiant Silvergun coming to Xbox 360 / XBLA

[Breetai]

Yup. The Japanese PSN have some great PS1 and PCE shooters, but where are these games? I want RSG and Ikaruga on my PS3. Otomedius and Raiden IV as well. I'm still waiting for Final Soldier (PCE), Sylphia, (PCE) Gradius II (PCE) (or the Deluxe Pack), the Salamander Deluxe Pack, Gradius Gaiden and the three Parodius PS1 games. Come on Konami and Treasure, get with it!


Edit: Gradius II came out this week! That's one down...

Everyone is talking about their copies value plummeting after the XBLA release.

does this really matter? i hope the value falls down to 10 bucks for the physical copy. my grandpa bought his condo for 200K and sold it 150k. now THAT is something to be pissed about.

You obviously didn't read my full post, shame shame. I don't own the game and don't care about the value of it. Read all my posts before taking one sentence out of a entire paragraph and making sound like something else, thanks.

Not getting another 360 to replace my broken one till this is released...

late to checking out the trailer for this, but i love the fact that the "IMPROVED GRAPHICAL FIDELITY" is just it rendering at a higher resolution, while the texture filtering is still nearest-neighbor. i honestly can't tell you how happy that alone makes me!

From the look of that trailer it's gonna have a new mode which is all modern poly's and modern textures with a modern resolution alongside an standard or classic mode with the original being rendered in HD by the 360.

Not to change the subject, but I think it's a joke that PSN has never adopted these famous shmups like Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun... Hell can we at least get Deathsmiles or Trouble Witches?

It's not PSN or Sony's fault, theey've more than likely been trying to bring those titles over. It's if Cave, Treasure or the other companies who own said games care about bringing them over to the PS3.

Unfortunately Microsoft is the world's richest company and can afford to throw around millions and millions of dollars on acquiring developers and getting exclusivity in genres or from entire third parties through licensing efforts. Especially in SHMUPS, because if they didn't have at least that one die hard genre the 360 would be even more dead in Japan. It hasn't even moved a million units there yet!

From what I heard, it was sony that didn't want to renew the contract with cave.. I've heard various conflicting reports, some say it's Cave wanting to go to Xbox and others say Sony didn't want the primitive software running on their hardware..

Sony's current revenue, $77 billion and Microsoft's current revenue, $64 billion.. Total assests for MS $85 billion, and Sony $137 billion.. Sony is still the bigger company even though Microsoft has made more profit recently.. So while this statement is somewhat false, your next point is a great one and probably truth..

I totally agree with this... I think when Microsoft threw in the money to get the license for these titles, they wanted to get somewhat of a hold of the Japanese market and I can't blame them... I think Sony didn't want to put much effort, because they were a little lazy and had dominated the industry 2 generations prior.. Just like setting the initial price of their console at $600, and going all in on Blu-Ray format...

Also here is another link to prove my point...

Sony is at 69th on the global 500 for 2010 and Microsoft is way down there at 115th.. What is shocking is that it seems both have taken huge losses in the past 10 years.. Sony used to be top 15 and Microsoft was top 30... Boy have they fallen off.. Wal-Mart and the fuel companies are tops which is not surprising at all..

Sony never had any contract with them.

Cave used to put out their software on all manner of console, Saturn and PS1. Later on the PS2 became the logical choice because in Japan it was a complete phenomenon and utterly crushed everything there last gen like you wouldn't believe. For example, you know how big it was here in the US? Now double, no TRIPLE that in Japan and you have a pretty close picture of it.

Also, while Sony makes more money in terms of total untaxed revenue that's because of how large thy are after tax and coupled with R&D and spreading it all around they make barely enough to pay everyone and manufacture more product. Microsoft still has the most liquid burnable "do whatever with it" cash of any company on the planet last time I checked. After all MS did spend over $7 billion on the entire Xbox line and STILL hasn't ever turned a profit on it.
