What's Wrong With Dodonpachi on the 360? PT 3

[gmintyfresh]

@CaptainCrunchityzer Ha ha there is a bit of that going on at Cave at the moment isn't there!!

[VideosbySteve]

So...a jap 360 can play usa 360 games AND have a USA live account?

[gmintyfresh]

@VideosbySteve No idea about US games mate but the a Jap 360 plays most of the big PAL releases, the region locking isn't as bigger issue in Japan

One thing about the ps2 version is that its scaled like shit.

Its either the 9:16 option or TATE mode otherwise it looks horrible.

[gmintyfresh]

@MetallicMushroom I completly agree, the same thing is true of those other Cavve PS2 ports too mate, plays solid but looks a bit butt ugly

[UltraDragonDragon]

@gmintyfresh The Mushihimesama Port for the PS2 acutally had a lower resolution than the Arcade Mushi.

DoDonPachi Dai Ou Jou is probably THE game i want the most right now, since the Saturn version of DoDonpachi is one of my favorite games of all time. When my wallet gets thicker i really need to pick up a JAP 360...

I can really see where you're coming from with the loading times. It's even more prominent in shooter type games when you many times aren't doing long sittings. When you just want to squeeze in 30 min of action it's annoying when the game needs to load 20% of that time.

[gmintyfresh]

@lostSUND4Y The loading tomes are annoying when you consider 5pb's next release Ketsui, it such a slick conversion. Still doj is amazing mate

[curveypolly]

Any idea how to increase the number of credits from 1 as I'm getting murdered.

[gmintyfresh]

@curveypolly Hello mate, I seem to remember that the credits unlock with time, ie the more you play the more credits you get?

[chempop]

Thanks for spending the time to do this. Word on the web is that a patch for the 360 is finally on the way, more info is sure to hit Dec 27th.

[gmintyfresh]

Phew it all went quiet on that front, maybe we'll hear about the Ketsui conversion too!! :D

[regionfree1]

I heard Ketsui is coming for xbox360 in late 2010

[regionfree1]

@chempop do have to have a japanese account to  get the patch?

[gmintyfresh]

Nope the game updates still work, only DLC requires a Jap account for some reason!!

[Pervypriest]

The biggest problem with this game is the fact that 5bp stole the game source code from the ps2 version. Instead of making their own source code optimized for the 360.

Of course this speeds up the developing process and the game would be released faster. The down side is that fact that this is more of an ps2 game running on xbox hardware..

That is the main reason for this game to be so slow at the loading times.

Luckily Cave will do things by them selves for the future releases:D

[gmintyfresh]

Yep I've heard the game my be unpatchable, but Cave are overseeing the Ketsui release so I feel a little happier :D

[Pervypriest]

Yeah I am pretty sure the game will be up to the usual Cave standards. In other words "Kickass"

The downside is that it will be a jap relase only, dammn I hate that region code crap...

I only wish that Cave would come out from their "cave" and realize there are a lot of ppl here in Europe that want to play their great games as well..

Two games as region free isn't enough, not even for a start..

Keep up the good work man, I love your game reviews, particulary "Death Smiles"

[ibanezbuyer]

@chempop did the patch ever come?

[gmintyfresh]

It's still not dropped yet and everything has gone quiet.....

[gaborsama]

Cool comparison but low lights for showing anything to the cam is a no-no :)

[gmintyfresh]

Damn right, I wont be doing that again any time soon!
