Announced during a streamed performance from Taito's in-house band Zuntata. It's being produced and published by CHARA-ANI Corp., a sibsidiary of Kadokawa, in cooperation with Pyramid, developers of the previous Darius Burst games.

EDIT: JP release date is January 16 for all platforms. PS4/PC are digital-only, Vita is getting a limited physical release.

 

[miku]

Nice. I love G-Darius.

 

[crinale]

With all SE-related news in like past 18 month, this may be the best one for me (personally)

 

[ILoveBish]

I noticed it said Windows instead of Steam. I hope they aren't silly enough to be windows 10 store exclusive. Looking forward to this on steam.

 

[Corpekata]

Yeesh at that singing.

 

[dddooozzz9]

WOW, it is a surprise.

 

[RedSwirl]

My favorite shmup series possibly finally coming to Steam? Okay.

Nice. I love G-Darius.

I actually still need to get around to playing the PS1 copy of G-Darius I found way back. Maybe the release date of this new one will be my time limit.

 

[Takao]

WOW, it is a surprise.

Not entirely.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Holy shit, awesome. Looks like it might be an actual physical release, too.

 

[Shig]

Yeesh at that singing.

Yeah, woof. Who knew recording studios had open mic nights?

 

[SolidSnakex]

Not entirely.

After lastgen, i'm surprised when Playstation consoles get shmups. A shame that Treasure and Cave aren't in the best financial situations so we probably won't see anything from them.

 

[entremet]

Makes sense for Japan.

 

[dddooozzz9]

Not entirely.

WHAT!!??

 

[@MUWANdo]

WHAT!!??

Yeah, it's not a total surprise; people knew something was coming and even Taito themselves had been hinting at something big for the anniversary.

You may already know this, but the designer of Ikaruga/Radiant Silvergun/Gradius V is making a new shooting game for PS4 called Ubusana. We don't know anything about it, just that he's making it with M2 and it's been in the works for a while.

Thanks, I understand.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

I'm really glad this is happening. Darius Burst is an awesome game, and it'll be great to have it on something a little more capable than the PSP.

 

[crinale]

Okay James just confirmed it is coming to West at the stream

 

[twinturbo2]

I love shoot-em-ups, but I can never come close to completing any of them on one credit.

I'll still try this out because it looks fun, though.

I actually forgot all about that. I wonder if he'll have it ready to show for Sony's TGS?

 

[Lettuce]

Wonder if it will support resolutions for super wide monitors

 

[DESTROYA]

Glad to see more shmups coming out for the PS4/PC, never usually finish them but always a good time.

 

[alienator]

i will buy all 3 versions.

 

[Drkirby]

So, is this a port, eternally new game, or an anthology?

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Fantastic news. Hopefully the start of more shmups making their way to the Vita.

 

[JP]

Really? Wasn't expecting that, really nice surprise to be getting this.

 

[klee123]

Besides the vocals, awesome stuff!

 

[Occam]

Fantastic!

 

[Chittagong]

Holy shit, awesome. Looks like it might be an actual physical release, too.

Man they print this stuff early. But if they are printing, why not show the box art? Lol

 

[Stilton Disco]

Fuckity shit the singing in that trailer was fuck awful, to the point I can only assume it was intentionally that bad as some twisted joke.

Yay for more shoot 'em ups though.

 

[NormalFish]

Importing this day 1. Favourite shmup series.
**
Wait, is this a new game or a compilation/remake?

 

[LiquidMetal14]

I remember playing G-Darius on PS1. So much fun.

Interested.

 

[Boogalogist]

Totally getting this! Miss shoot 'em ups.

Enhanced port from Arcade (which was enhanced port from PSP).
However arcade version got a couple of overhauls.

And, localization is confirmed already at the stream.

Importing anyway. The rest of my darius games are japanese, might as well keep up the trend.

I do hope they release a compilation of the classic games, too: Darius I, II, Gaiden, G-Darius, the SNES games that no-one likes, maybe even Metal Black and Syvalion for good measure.

Don't forget the gameboy game

[A Huge Battleship]

Hell yes! My hype is approaching fast.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Fuck yeah!

 

[SonyToo!™]

So this is a port not a new Burst? Sweet I'd always wanted to play it.

Now if only Konami would do a proper HD port of Gradius V and not a crummy emulation with input lag like on PS3

 

[@MUWANdo]

So this is a port not a new Burst? Sweet I'd always wanted to play it.

It seems to be based on DBAC but it's hard to tell how much has been added/changed at this early stage.

The jump in quality and volume between the original PSP game and DBAC was huge, to the point where they're basically different games.

 

[djplaeskool]

Awesome.
Glad to see this title branch out from the PSP as far as consumer versions are concerned.
It deserves it.

 

[nailbombxx]

I need this

 

[Teknoman]

Ps4 day 1

 

[Original Famous Ray]

oh my! I haven't played any of the Darius games that were released after G-Darius so I don't know if the Burst series is any good but I'm happy I'll get a chance to wreck more fishies.

 

[sixteen-bit]

In for Vita and Windows. PS4 if it gets localized.

 

[yop]

I love Dariusburst on PSP, it's a stunning little game. Hopefully more people will experience this version.

 

[cj_iwakura]

Awesome news.

 

[Tizoc]

Is this a bullet hell?

 

[Shinriji]

Time to blow up some robofishes.

 

[Prelude.]

Oh wow, didn't expect this, I loved G-Darius. Vita it is.
I was just thinking the other day that it was still lacking a japanese shmup.

 

[SmokedMeat]

I never would've expected a new Darius this gen. Glad to see it return!
