“There is a tough reason I cannot disclose…Sorry. It might take time but may be in the future, he said,” the resident Square Enix downloadable games tweeter wrote.
Console Monster: It goes without saying that the Xbox LIVE Arcade is a saturated market when it comes to classic arcade games. Nevertheless we regularly get news about yet another classic game re-releasing this time sporting high-definition paint. RayStorm HD is the pinnacle of such statement.
Diehard GameFAN writes: "Anyone who’s paid attention to anything I’ve written in the past couple years knows that I have a hard-on for anything that bears the Working Designs logo. Even bad games such as Silhouette Mirage sit on our collective game stand simply because of my love for that company and what they brought me for over a decade. One of the games that I own is Raystorm for the PSX, a great shooter on a system known for inspired shooters like Einhänder and light gun game Elemental Gearbolt. It was Xevious on steroids, with one of the best stages (stage 4, Earth orbit) I’ve ever played in a game. Taito has graced us with a port to the Xbox Live Arcade, with improved graphics."
"RayStorm is a vertical-scrolling shooter that was originally released in Japanese arcade machines way back in 1996. A year later, it was popular enough to be ported to the PSOne and Sega Saturn. Fast forward to 2010 and RayStorm has now gotten an HD remake of sorts and is available now for you to download on the Xbox LIVE Marketplace and the PlayStation Store." - Just Push Start
Timed exclusive yet again...
I thought this was meant to come out on both. Ah well, if I WANT to play Raystorm, I'll just play the old one on PC.
Isn't this on the Japanese PS store? I know I saw this game there yesterday when I was checking out the latest updates.
