Wow, haven't seen anything from these boys in awhile. They used to have a ton of stuff out on the Dreamcast, but then kind of faded away. Looks very cool, but I've never played it so I'll wait and see. Although I'm really pumped up about Gradius 5 (if it ever comes out!!) :D

I'm not sure if we're really sure if it's a 2D game. Those screenshots look a bit 3Dish to me. Still, I'm happy with anything Psikyo releases.

Here's the link for the official site. No screenshots though, just story and background information:

Looks 2D to me, sure hope it is. Need bigger screens though. It'd be smart to make a 2D shooter these days, as nobody's doing it. Seems like it would attract more attention that way.

Yeah, I was pretty happy myself when I saw the release information.

There was an ad for Valken in the Famitsu from 2 weeks ago, but there was no description or screenshots. I didn't know if it was going to be a shooter, simulator, RPG or what. The genre is listed as 'Robot Action' so I'm still not 100% sure if it's a straight horizontal shooter... it might be a platformer... but still, it's a new game from Psikyo.

I'm a dirty fanboy too.

UK press reported this week that this is a port (though i would asume remake) of Snes Assault Suite Valken originally by NCS / Maysia (ported to us by Konami).

Great game in its day no doubt, a graphic upgrade would be nice, though i would think the Saturn game (3rd in series??) wouldve been better?

This isn't a shooter folks, it's a remake of the the Super Famicom version (AKA cybernator). It is 2D, and it should be goodness!

Thank god this isn't another one of those Frame Grid mediocre mech games!! There are a lot of good shooters to look forward to. Last month I was getting sick of gaming, but so much stuff is coming out, this is awsome.

Are you picking up Esgaluda today?

Damn... is it out today? It's like a week and a half to payday and I'm flat broke.

Do you know if the release version comes with a DVD?

Thanks for the info. I changed the thread title from 'shooter' to 'game' so I don't get anyone else's hopes up.

Huh? Zero Gunner 2 plays 2D, so like it really matters that the graphics are 3D. And it plays superbly at that. One of my favorite shmups on DC hands down.

i cant stand games where you gotta aim manually

eco fighters,forgotten worlds,zg2 and so on

it just pisses me off

why would you wanna play zg2 when you can have gunbird 2 or strikers 1999,anyway?

I can understand your opion, but I don't agree with it. I like the Gunbird and Strikers series as much as any other shooter fan, but I guess I just like ZG2 because it's a change of pace. Besides, the controls and aiming mechanics become second nature after giving them some time and just learning the game. ZG2 just feels so well put together to me every time I lay my hands on it. I like it that much.

To each his own. Me, I wouldn't mind seeing a third in the series. Wishful thinkning, I know.

Interesting, Japanese SFC version (aka US Cybernator) is under the same name and indeed the pics does resembles certain levels from SFC version. :eek_2:
