Forums - Microsoft Discussion - OMG, Co-op in R-Type Dimensions = Instant Win!

This game (an XBLA title) is instant win for SHMUP fans all around the world! Hurray for R-Type's revival (in a way)!

^ DAMN!!!

And here's the trailer: http://gamersyde.com/stream_8957_fr.html

Replaying all the great R-Type classics in 3D graphics (co-op online as well?) will be orgasmic! xD



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Then I guess you haven't played enough R-Type before. It will be the first in the series to feature a co-op mode (at least 2 players on the same screen), especially for the games that will be in the package (seems like R-Type 1 and 2 is in there). I wonder if there's going to be another extra story mode or something, or it's just a remake of the old games in 3D graphics. Still good enough in my opinion! =P

 I missed te ps2 one. I played original rtype on my sega master system and Super Rtype on snes...those were single player. i was always more of a gradius fan and Gradius V had 2 player action so I figured the PS2 version of Rtype did as well.

But this is great. If I got a classic SHMUP a week on xbox live...I'd be a very happy man. I'm still waiting for thunder force 6...

Nah, I guess Irem didn't want to focus on 2 player co-op during the 16-bit era, and besides, R-Type Final wouldn't be good with 2-players on screen. The game was already too slow as it is, no enemies would even appear on screen! Maybe it was too demanding CPU-wise and stuff during the 16-bit era anyway. And yeah, I can't wait for Gradius Generations on WiiWare. No release date announced here though. :/

Actually, scratch that. R-Type Leo had 2-players on screen... But it was an arcade exclusive so it doesn't really count here. >_>

Looks terrible. Please, someone, make a game with awesome high definition sprites. Thank you. Other than SF2HD and KOF of course.

Check the trailer. It looks better in motion, trust me! ;)

Great game, got a buddy who is a huge R-Type fan. He is getting a 360 soon. Looking forward to playing on-line co-op with him.

It does look better.  But I'd still take HD sprites over this any day.

 I don't think these are sprites...looks like pre-rendered 3d images. Reguardless...for 800 ms points, I don't think we can ask for more than this. Gameplay is key...visuals not so much
