Deathsmiles 2?

[Junior Jr.]

Will there be a PC release of Deathsmiles 2? I'm a fan of the first one and never got the chance to play the second game because it was only available in Japan.

It was available in the US as well through a digital only Games on Demand release for the 360. It was completely unchanged from the Japanese release also, so none of the story stuff was translated.

I would prefer not to see that game as there are so many better games that could come from Cave.

[chaoticenigma]

The gameplay of Deathsmiles II is actually pretty solid. It's really only the graphics that suck. Maybe if they do port Deathsmiles II, they could include a mode where the graphics aren't terrible (as if that would actually happen)

[AwesamLinux]

I want every game from Cave on Steam, including Deathsmiles 2. However considering the massive backlog, I think it would probably make more sense if they released something a bit more different next.

Personally I think they next should pick something from the Ibara, Ketsui or Donpachi series.

As much I would love to see Ketsui next, they most likely will go with the last two Dodonpachi games and then the sequels to Mushi and Deathsmiles as that would be the most safe option.

They seem to be hinting at Ketsui being next.

I'd love Deathsmiles 2 though. It might be ugly, but the gameplay is absurdly fun.

I just saw some screen shots of deathsmiles 2. I gotta say the first one looks a lot better. I loved how the first one looked. It had some charm to it that i really liked. But the 2nd one seems to have lost all that. It looks less polished. Am i seeing things? or am i right about this? If i'm right, i want to know how they could ♥♥♥♥ that up. Different director, or low budget????

It was caves ill-advised foray into 3d graphics for their shmups. I agree the first game looks amazing, 100 times better, but the second one plays really really well too.

[Dannynoel]

Well good to hear that it plays well but... I don't know. I care a lot about how my games look lol. I would still buy it tho, if it ever came out on steam. Cause i like the first one a lot.

[Slurp Dog CDXX]

Well, I like DS2, but I think the way to go is to get at least one game from each Cave franchise on steam first, and then start doing sequels from there. It's good for variety's sake. But eventually, sure.

And for everyone saying DS2 is ugly, I sort of agree, but one of the benefits of DS2 is that since it's 3d, maybe some post processing and a texture resolution upgrade might be doable, and it could end up being pretty spiffed up, who knows.

[AwesamLinux]

I thought you people were exaggerating about how ugly Deathsmiles II looked, so I had to watch some videos of it. And wow I have to agree, the 3D graphics were hideous indeed, they were wise to go back to 2D.

I loved this game on the 360. I doubt ill buy it again for PC but I'd love a translated version of the second game

Waiting for my favorite and i still never play it. SDOJ

Wait really? :O How so?

I wouldn't get too excited, he's talking about a tweet they made that looked like it might have been a teaser for their next pc port but it turned out to be a mobile game that characters from ketsui are going to be appearing in.
