That is AWESOME. =D D3 America finally makes a good decision. It only took them what, three thousand terrible cartoon licensed GBA games to realize they need to do better. I wonder if this means they'll also release D3 Japan's other 360 game. =x

AHA! I've been importing these Simple 2000 games for ages now (although I always referred to them as "THE" games), and they're absolutely wonderful (well, varying degrees of wonderful, stupid, and just plain crazy). This is definitely one of the best franchises in the series, and seeing these screenshots has got me well excited, so I'm thrilled to see a Western launch.

Hoping for Daibijin sequel!

Ohoho!

That'd be excellent. :tpg: Maybe they'd give the sequel more than just six levels and the frame rate wouldn't completely self destruct when crazy alien things on Riho's head shoot lasers! Or maaaaybe they'd just focus all development on upgrading the jiggle physics!

This game is the bomb!
I finished Earth Defense Force 1 & 2 (aka The_Chikyuu_Boueigun 1 & 2)

They are fantastic! Coop mode is the blast, you have real freedom, nearly Halo 1 like. Wide over 100 different weapons (to unlock all the weapons, is real fun). There are some huge weapon in it, like mini atom bomb, which wipe out a complete city, unbelieveable if you see it the first time. All buildings are destroyable and the enemies are HUUUUUUUGE. The mother alien ship was so huge, I dropped myself on the top and was looking down on the city... HUUUUGE.
The coop was so great. We had so much fun playing it. I drove the tank and my friend was standing on the tank driving with me, killing all the aliens. pure fun.

I hope they add progressive mode already. Also EDF III looks smoother now, 1 & 2 had serious fps problems.

All 360 games must have 720p minimum resolution.

I meant the ps2 version

Box art revealed, pretty dodgy compared to the Japanese one but OH WELL~

2017? Looks like I'll have to rename this thread for the third time. :cmb: March 20th for America, $40. Still no PAL release detaaaiiils.

BUY IT

Or don't, I guess!

Did you read the Edge review for it? No more hoverpack girl D:

It's big and fun like before, but with only one new vehicle, there's less variety because you're only controlling the guy now.

Still, I wouldn't mind a PAL release, if they could FINALLY MANAGE A PAL RELEASE FOR GLOBAL DEFENCE FORCE ;________;

Yeah, sucks they left her out of this one. Maybe they'll chuck her in later as a microtransaction, only $700!

"I'm much more useful than you with this!"
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah!"
"WELL YOU'RE FIRED FROM THE EARTH DEFENSE FORCE"
"You could have just asked to borrow my pack, jerk"

loool Global Defence Force. ;_; I have no doubt this one will manage to come out before that, and by several months/years!

I don't mind the wait, it's not like I don't have games to play, just as long as they actually release it. I remember you wrote back in June "Earth Defence Force 2 coming next month, HOORAY!" ;______;

Haha yeah. :( And Zombie VS Ambulance! Almost a year long delay is still better than if 505 GameStreet had picked it up instead.

Radio chatter would be cut completely, there'd be text scrolling on the bottom of the screen "GETTINGY TWO THE ALIEN WOW ATTACK RUM NORTH EMERGAENDCY! QUICKLY!" and the box art would be of some fat guy scratching himself in front of a fountain.

Yes yes yes, PAL wins for some odd reason. <3
Haha double post someone should ban this guy.

Oh yeah! And boxart is way more cool than the I'm gonna buy this come release day. And a 6 in Edge? That's rather good.

*sigh* Why do we have to get such garbage cover art? This is Mega Man levels of crap.

Irregardless, I've been looking forward to this game for awhile. Robot Alchemic Drive is one of my favorite PS2 games and I love Godzilla. Can't wait to pick this up in March and I'm so glad we're actually getting it here.

THAT'S NOT A WORD.

That PAL art is GODLY. It reminds me of shitty retro b-movie posters.

It's not standard, but it exists.. As for the box art, yeah I'm loving the PAL one!

No no, he's right. Oddly enough, I dropped it here and then was posting in some other forum later and started to drop it in a post again, but for whatever reason I stopped and thought "That's odd, why do we have regardless and irregardless?" I thought it was like flammable and inflammable. Then I did a little googling and found out it was frowned upon heavily as a needless prefix.

So technically it exists, but only in the same way 'ain't' exists. REGARDLESS, I'm not using it anymore.

Woot! A gameplay video just popped up on Xbox Live! I guess this means the game really will be released next week!

Actually, it comes out tomorrow. Cannot wait.

Awww naaaww, they just delayed it here. Now due out in May (still out in other PAL regions next week.. I think). That gives me time to actually save up for a 360 though~

Well, I got the game, and it's awesome. It's quite similar to EDF2 on PS2, except the graphics are a billion times better. Also, instead of taking on all the aliens alone, you've always got a team with you, although they tend to drop dead really fast at the higher difficulty levels.

Yes yes, I also have the game and am having a blast. The game is also WAY WAY fun in co-op. My and a friend are thoroughly enjoying making our way through the game picking up tons of different weapons and trying them out. The sentry guns are hell of amusing.

Also, this game is currently number 1 for really giving that sensation of HUUUUUGE enemies. All of the enemies look really really good and the giant robots are straight jaw-dropping.

C'mon, next week, get over here... I even bought a second controller! I'm so pumped!

You will not be disappointed. Secret best co-op 360 game CONFIRMED.

I have to agree on it being the most hilarious co-op game on 360, but I wonder why they decided to simplify it so much compared to EDF2? One less character, and also a lot less badguys.. Still, let's hope they release an EDF2018 or something!
