threads.

R-Type Tactics announced for PSP
A change of direction for the classic shooter franchise?

Product: R-Type Tactics
Developer: Irem
Genre: Shooter, Strategy

by João Diniz Sanches

Irem has just revealed R-Type Tactics to the Japanese press. The
latest instalment in the popular shoot-'em-up series, the screenshots
of Tactics revealed so far (in the trusty Japanese magazine Famitsu)
look suitably beautiful, but then graphical splendour has
traditionally been a hallmark of the series.

As has relentless alien blasting, of course. However, the new game's
name suggests a change for the series. Indeed, reports claim R-Type
Tactics is a turn-based affair rather than the straightforward side-
scrolling shooting action typically associated with the game's
predecessors (which date back to the late '80s). This would certainly
tie-in with the wi-fi multiplayer support the game is said to feature.

We'll keep an eye on this one and report back once we have more
details.

Holy Shit
R-Type Tactics... R-Type. Tactics.

Looks like Irem wasn't kidding when it titled R-Type Final, the
supposed final shoot 'em up in the long running, hard-as-hell
sidescrolling series. Yes, details are scarce, but from what we can
gather by these awful, awful scans from the latest Famitsu, R-Type is
ditching twitch gameplay for a more chin-rubbingly strategic bent. Hex-
based, turn-based and awesome-based, R-Type Tactics looks like a crazy
cross-genre shooter that's just crazy enough to work.

I promise, I'll be watching like a hawk for any and all updates on R-
Type Tactics. Keep your eyes peeled for news and the inevitable online
campaign for a North American release.

New R-Type takes flight on PSP
Wednesday 23-May-2007 12:56 PM

R-Type Tactics looks to take the series in a new direction

PSP will be the home of the next R-Type game, titled R-Type Tactics,
reveals the latest issue of Famitsu magazine.

Firm gameplay details are yet to be revealed, but the word 'Tactics'
in the title suggests it being some sort of turn-based strategy battle
game, a theory supported by one of the screens in a blurry photo of
the magazine. Just look to the right at the screen above the black box
- that looks like a grid-based battle system to us.

We'd hope that the traditional shoot-'em-up gameplay of the series
isn't completely abandoned, but we'll have to wait and see.

It just dawned on me. What are the chances of it actually coming out
here(US/UK)?? Also, i dont remember, but is the PSP region free for games?

Yes, it is, so even if the game is never released outside of Japan, you can
still import it (like I recently imported the sequel to Exit, not knowing if
it was going to be picked up for a US release).
