Omega Five - Hudson/Natsume XBLA Shooter

[Family Fry]

This looks VERY cool and never even knew about it's existance!
Will only post a few pictures as they are huge and link to story and rest (story is in french by the way!)
Nice to see some new XBLA content coming out of japan.

Reminds me a bit of the olde classic forgotten worlds, apparently costing 800points with no firm release date as of yet.

Good to see Japanese developers designing new games for XBLA. Very interested in this.

Looking alright. That 4th shot posted above looks quite Shattered Soldieresque, no bad thing imo. Hope it plays well, could be a definite buy for me.

It looks quite nice and it would be interesting to play a Forgotten Worlds esque game again. That said many in the shmups fraternity will be complaining about the energy bar and they'll be worried about the hitbox size.

Tried the demo of this, which seems alright. Massive hit box and a bit of a breeze but to be expected of level 1 I suppose. Just good to be playing a brand-new shooter really! Has anyone tried the full game? Having "issues" getting Msoft points at the moment, is it worth getting?
