    Hampering the gameplay does not add to the feel. If anything, 60fps would make things even more exciting because there will be stuff flying around everywhere!

      Ha, you're probably right, Yakumo!

      You know the odds are stacked against you when it starts grinding. It's only happened a couple of times on the 360 in the hundreds of hours I've played, but it's a good reminder of just how much stuff is being thrown at you!

      The last level is a bit bonkers for slowdown, though.

        You understand what I mean, QualityChimp. It's like in a Cave shooter when the screen gets jam packed with projectiles and everything grinds to a halt. I love it! It's kind of a feeling that says "You're in the Sh!t now mate!" I absolutely love it when on EDF (360 version) on inferno setting with two players the whole game grinds to a halt. There's so much on screen that running it at 60fps just wouldn't seem as epic. The slowdown adds to the feel IMO.

          I actually think I'm addicted to this game. I've been playing it for months, I play it whenever I have time and I think about strategies when I'm not playing it.

            Hehehe, that was like me when I was in to it big time. I think It was released pretty much a year before the UK wasn't it?

              July 4th in Japan and 21st Feb in the UK.

              I know this off the top of my head because I re-read this thread this morning.

              I told you I was obsessed...

                Something about Wing Diver suits being available to Amazon.could.jp pre-orders of that Onechanbara Z2: Chaos game that's also coming to PS4.

                      Think I'm the same, I've played almost nothing else since Christmas apart from EDF4 and EDF Portable Vita.

                        I ♥ you, Ampanman!

                        The pics are from the PS4 version (EDF 4.4).

                        Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despair will have giant monster-versus-giant robot battles, Famitsu’s latest online preview reveals.


                        "The monster pictured, Erginus, is an unknown beast from the deep sea. The popular theory has it that the ?foreigners? who attacked Earth brought these creatures from outer space. However, since it has features of Earth-like creatures, its true colors are unknown.

                        With the sudden appearance of Erginus, the Earth Defense Force has deployed the walking fortress Baram. This 50-meter-tall humanoid-type robot can fight in all terrains.

                        Earth Defense Force 4.1: The Shadow of New Despairis a full HD version of*Earth Defense Force 2025, including a new episode, and will launch next year in Japan."

                        Basically, they've done two things:
                        1. Made a Pacific Rim game
                        2. Made it very hard to resist buying a PS4 if this makes it over here!

                          That's it, I'm buying one and this game.

                                I like how the screen goes dark as Erginus blasts electricity from him mouth and the little jets on Baram that help it stand back up.

                                I can't wait for more info!

                                I completed the Wing Diver campaign on Hard last night!
                                I mopped up the early missions I'd skipped and then went back to the harder missions I couldn't complete.
                                The Legion of Monsters went a lot smoother once we clicked only to attack one beast at a time, so precise snipers were essential.
                                The final level was relatively easy too, we focussed on shooting the nearest weakspot in the Earth Eater cover, then hammered the brain. We kept repeating that with each wave, only stopping to defeat the odd Deroy or droneship hatch.

                                On to hardest now! (Which I think is tougher than Inferno because of the stricter weapon restrictions).
