As long as they keep the audio track in Japanese Iam going to buy it

it seems worth taking a look at...

Man I cant wait to get my hands on this one, Im soo stoked about it. Square Enix did a nice job story wise on kingdom hearts 1&2. So I hope they put as much effort to make this story as engaging. My big fear, is that someone will make the decision to pull out the storyline, like they did with some of the Ace combat games, ad just make em: "destroy this X to proceed to next level."

Regarding Project Sylpheed: about bloody time. And hopefully they will take a page from Ace Combat 5 and give players the option of English voiceovers, or original dialogue w/subtitles.
Vampire Rain sounds interesting, but from what I'm reading here, it sounds like this idea should've been pitched to Ubisoft...

I'll look out for this game, seems good.

Wow this game looks interesting. The CG cutscenes look beautiful too, it really captures the whole anime look and feel better than any other game I have seen. Square Enix rocks too, I'm sure this game will be great.

Do another Einhander! That game was awesome, but tough!

Interesting how this game is very slowly gaining sequels. Very enduring. I remeber it WAY back on the Sega CD. And ditto on Einhander.

@Yuck_Foo; I was referring to Vampire Rain rather than Sylpheed, by all accounts Vampire Rain is a terrible waste of potential, can't say I've paid much attention to Sylpheed... not really to my taste.

Just what this place needs, more blind posters...It's a space combat sim...more like a flight simulator and is not a FPS.

Not sure what you are looking at, the screens in the above link look good to me.

If the game is as cool as it looked in the japanese trailer then it's gonna be awesome! Definitely going to keep my eyes on this game.

Square and Sylpheed? I have the original SILPHEED for Sega CD and that was done by Data Arts or something like that. But anyway, that game for Sega CD was fantastic. Weird for Square to make a Sylpheed or Silpheed game when they could just revive Einhander, which was also a great shoot em up.

If the graphics are as bad as they seem then just port it to PS3, with the dirge of releases of Sony's disc player (games console wannabe) they'll take any game they can get there hands on.

Just what the 360 needs........another shooter

I have vampire rain. the japanese version comes with full english dialouge and menus. Unless they completely revamp the engine and do some serious tweeking to the gameplay mechanics, then it would be foolish to even buy the game. The graphics are horrendous! The same or worse than bullet witch. The gameplay is on par with first generation consules. I dont know what the devolpers were thinking when they released this game. I just feel bad for anyone that shells out 60 bucks for this game. Sorry to burst anyones bubble. But you've been warned.

Having read an import review of Vampire Rain, which supposedly hits the UK in July the word "Average" springs to mind, potential wasted.

Score! Vampire Rain!

BigB10123 You did not loose it. I took it from you. I also took your dog and your lunch money!!! :-)

Silpheed was awesome.

Now get the group together and make Lunar 3. NOW.

Nice to know that MS won't just concentrate on just FPS's or sports games.

I'll probably play this. Yep.

I still remember playing Sylpheed on my Sega-CD, and the PS2 version was a good through-back for shooter fans. This is great news! This is one genre (along with 2D fighting) that should never be allowed to die. BTW, Keep up the great work getting Japanese Dev's bringing their games to the 360. I bought a PS3 thinking Microsoft would never be able to pull it off. Cheers.

i hope rain is good, i don't care bout sylpheed though.

I will have to look at it

Sylpheed was awesome for the Sega Saturn and pretty good for the Ps2, so I can only imagine how great it will be for the 360. Bring back Radiant Silvergun!!!!

I don't know about Project Sylpheed, but Vampire Rain sounds like it has potential.

Vampire Rain is the only interesting thing mentioned here.

I'm buying this game for sure cuz I played a game similar to this on the PS1 and I lost the game so this will make up for it big time.

take away the crapy japanamation movie garbage and this could be fun

Yes, well, I don't care about any of these games so basically I'm posting a pointless post.

im excited about Sylpheed but is anyone else underwhelmed by Vampire Rain or is it just me?

sweetness sounds great

For anyone who is interested, the first game Silpheed, is about $4.00 bucks at Gamestop.

Sylpheed? That's the one where your genitals turn black, right?

About bloody time too.

360 is where its at... you heard

LOL i remember the old sylpheed which i played on my old 386! It was do damn HARD!!!! but meh, no space shooter will ever improve on the FreeSpace series, those two games are the best space shooters EVER

Holy moley, Sylpheed. I think I played the original back in 1988.

Both games, not so interested.

what about Europe? we looooove Japanese style games!

talk about old.. This game was confirmed way way back for the US..

Still good news.. I can't wait for it..

It's a shame it doesn't seem to have a cockpit view like I was hoping for. Space shooters are few and far between these days, and I'm always hoping for one to come along that has the quality of the Dreamcast version of Starlancer. It was the only space shooter I've seen to actually give you the feeling of being in a zero-gravity jet flying at high speeds, and it had great intense missions with loads of likeable characters that never seemed to run out of things to say. If Project Sylpheed can pull off at least some of that, I'll be interested.

Woo hooo baby.

is this an older game? or s a sequel to an older one? didn't working designs do this game?

Yay! One of the first games I played on the Sega CD, and I still have fond memories of it. Not sure about the new perspective the screen shots seem to show off, but hopefully they will make it work.

"Both of these games sound pretty cool. Too bad I don't own a 360. Maybe when the price drops to $300 or less...."

I hope you realize the Core retails for $299. Or if you want the premium, Dell.com has the premium system with Gears of War for $399.

I apoligise for going of topic but....

"One more platform-exclusive title may be going multiplatform, it has been revealed. The latest news appears to be that Square Enix's latest epic role-playing game, Final Fantasy XIII, may follow other titles--including Saints Row, Assassin's Creed, and Devil May Cry 4--that have now been announced as appearing on at least one other platform as well. "
