I didn't totally enjoy Rez when I bought it, so I sold it, but for much cheaper I don't see how I can go without. really looking forward to getting into it without the price looming in the back of my head.

Rez is best played in a sensory-deprivation like environment. If you can, wait till your alone with no distractions, then turn off the lights and turn it up. It’s beautiful when it clicks.

You are only truely playing Ikaruga when you have a multi thousand dollar display perched precariously on its side just so you can play it as god intended.

I sold two of my three copies of this game when this was announced, and intend to sell RS when its a big closer to that launch.

I'll keep my copy of Rez until the T.V. is confirmed to still work, thank you very much .

Wait, why are you selling RS? Is it coming to XBLA as well?

Eventually. It was announced a few months back. Ikaruga and Rez, then RS.

The game has shown up on the Xbox Live test servers, so it kinda means its getting ready for release.
It first showed up on the test servers last February, but yeah, seeing that leaderboards shot makes me think it's getting the finishing touches now.

The real question is: will gameplay lag the 360 like it has every other console ever......
Yeah, I'm kind of pessimistic about lag in 2P online play. Replay exchange and leaderboards are appreciated, though.

1-Up Interview on Ikaruga XBLA wrote:
Radiant Silvergun on Xbox Live Arcade?
With Ikaraga coming to Xbox Live Arcade we had to ask about the possibility of its superior Saturn predecessor coming to the 360. According to Maegawa, it's something they've definitely been thinking about doing, perhaps after Ikaruga is finished. However, he mentioned that it would be a much bigger undertaking, as Treasure would like to actually redo elements of the game -- basically, enhance it with high resolution visuals to make it more current.
The second this becomes even close to reality I'm getting rid of RS. I bought it for $20.

Pfffft.

Anyway, yeah, I had read that interview before, but I don't think RSG is happening in the near future. I really hope they don't bother, anyway. The Ikaruga port has already pushed their new game back considerably, and I'd rather be playing something new from them than either of these games.

Also, that Youtube quote is the greatest Youtube comment ever.

What I really want is a XBL port of the N64 version Bangai-O, but that's just me.

I never said the interview was sane, as I think RS is overrated. I really, really wished I had never opened it as now I'd have quite a bit more money, but whatever.

Ikaruga is fantastic. There will probably be quite a bit of lag on the XBLA version when online, but who cares. Also, remember that playing the game with an expensive as shit TV on its end is the only way to play. The added danger of it all plus the sexy view makes the game that much better.

What the hell are they working on now anyways besides this and Bangai O DS???

- Ikaruga XBLA
- new 360 shmup (to be resumed after releasing Ikaruga)
- Bangai-O Spirits (should be coming out within the next few months)

They're also hiring right now for an unspecified 3D action game (http://www.treasure-inc.co.jp/recruit/recruit.html). Dunno if this is the shmup or something different. They've expressed interest in Wii development in the past but so far have not announced anything.

The thing is, I don't really care about XBLA Ikaruga, since it's avaliable in America for systems that people actually own, and indeed I own a copy right now. Radiant Silvergun is a Sega Saturn import; we really need it up there.

I love the social commentary within Ikaruga's narrative, and the theme of 'racial conflict' throughout the gameplay.
Oh, come on! Don't be that guy.

It's not hard to complete at all. It is just incredibly hard to be good at.

I mean, it is probably one of the games I have played most of in the last 5 years, and I would say I am OK at it.

Edit: And I play a lot of Shmups.
