this is a preview vid of oriental legends 2 which is apparently coming out on PGM2. no info that I know is available apart from this. video works like shit on my computer, but it looks like it'll be more of the same.

I so wish SNK had kept making their own hardware...

Oh PleAZ PLEaZ PLZ let this be true. PGM 2 :buttrock:

This is hands down some of the best news I have ever heard.

Clessy · May 19, 2007

So how much is the hardware improved? Does it still play your pgm 1 carts?

Brain Slug · May 21, 2007

Looks like it takes carts. Bring on the consolization projects....

what would be cool is if Cave moved to this format for future releases. :drool_2:

Unlikely innit? I thought only IGS released on PGM.

Still, this is more what I had in mind for potentially sustainable new arcade hardware.

DDP 2?

Not to mention they use the PGM hardware on all their boards already

terry.330 · May 21, 2007

If by some chance it supports the OG PGM carts I'm all over this.

...

im not seeing any signs of high-res connections...?

(igs page wont load for me tho).

That was just the second generation boards, no?

I think they used it for DOJ, Ketsui, and Galuda.

Bad ass video IGS!!!! I wonder how affordable it will be.

cdoty · May 21, 2007

I'm surprised it's 2D only, from the looks of the video. I wonder if an ARM based system, based on a reference board.

IGS developed DDP2, not Cave (It's the KOF2002 of shooters

)

I don't know whether they do or don't use the same hardware as PGM on their boards though. I'm not familiar.

The Generation 2 PCB's are almost identical (spec wise) to a PGM if i remember correct. Its the Generation 3's that are beefier.

I was'nt Impressed tbh (graphically)....i could'nt even tell if it was high res or even improved over titles like Knights of Valor 2.

Crappy video Quality though i guess....the actual game looked kick ass though!

I need Martial Masters II !!!!

that would actually rule.

I bet this new hardware will be similar to Cave's Gen 3 boards, sporting a Super-H CPU (probably an SH3 or SH4).

They might go the way of the ARM, but I doubt it.

FalcomAdol · May 23, 2007

Probably SH-4. It's the closest thing we have to the popularity of the 68000 and a common arcade platform these days since so many companies have been working on the Dreamcast/Naomi/Hikaru/Atomiswave

My vote's on SH3.

Same.

Very powerful CPU for 2D games that requires no cooling whatsoever.

Maybe Cave will port some of their Gen 3 games over to it if that happens :drool:

Hah keep dreaming.

I wonder what the price tag is going to look like. PGM's titles have always been on the "cheaper" side when compaired to other new titles. I'm taking a total guess here, but I bet the system will be in the $450 range at launch, and titles about $300 a pop.
