touhou rip off?

[Neon]

this looks like its copied from touhou, and very badly looking at the screenshots, and touhou is alot cheaper aswell...

This bait is way too rusty, dude...

[sethsez]

Oddly enough, I actually did meet someone in real life yesterday who thought Touhou invented this genre. So although this guy's pretty clearly trolling, they DO exist.

What the ♥♥♥♥ you talking about? This ain't no Touhou game. This is a Cave game, don't even disrespect Cave like that.

(see below for those who don't get the reference; I know he's just trolling)

You've never played a cave game have you? touhou's very good but this is 10 times better. (well besides the music, but this game still has a great soundtrack)

It's hard to believe you when you just harshly criticized the game (which is an almost a cliche flame bait), but let's assume you're telling the truth.

By any chance, are you seeing it as "cheap" because of the bullet pattern? In term of graphical quality, they're pretty much equal, with only difference being that CAVE rely more on 3D perspective.

It's important to remember that bullets in the Touhou universe are not made to kill but to look pretty (I am not making it up, it's an actual key plot point). In DoDonPachi, however, the bullets patterns are designed to destroy the player as swiftly as possible, hence the more "rough" visual. After all, most CAVE's games originated from arcade cabinets : gotta milk the player's wallet as much as possible!

So there you go. Feel free to correct me if I guessed wrong.
One last fun fact : CAVE are the creator of the bullet hell genre! (well technically, the first game was Batsugan special mode, but even then CAVE's future employees were involved here!)

DonPachi is the series that invented the bullet-hell genre in the first place (some people will say Batsugun but ehhhhh).

And no, the budget and polish are WAY higher in the DDP games than in anything Touhou.

What's a 2hu?

[Witch ~]

I didn't know 2hou invented bullet hell

*face palm*

Touhou is boring.
