To quote: Having made five shooters already, we at PomPom Games were rather conflicted. We had just agreed to spin a cheerful little number for PlayStation Mobile. We know how to make a decent shooter.

I'm sure Sony were expecting us to do a shooter. And to be honest, I wanted to make a shooter. But my partner (Miles Visman) was like totally meh about it.

So, after 45 seconds of intense prototyping, Rebel was born - a game where you blow up loads of stuff without firing a single bullet. In a world where your enemies are just the right combination of stupid and armed... one can only enjoy oneself, right?

Here's the basic idea. You are a nameless rebel prisoner. Using intricate gameplay mechanics (press "play") you escape from your concrete prison. You find yourself unarmed and stranded on an island with nowhere to go, while enemies drop in from all directions.

33w ago - Rising Star Games Product Marketing Manager Yen Hau has posted up a video today of Under Defeat HD, which will be shooting 'em up on PlayStation 3 this Fall.

To quote: One of the great things about localizing games for western audiences is giving fans the opportunity to experience their favorite titles in their native language, while providing newcomers a different take on a specific genre.

Another great aspect of localization is the ability to bring cult classics and underrated games back into the current marketplace, giving these games a chance to gain popularity among new audiences. This is the case with Under Defeat.

Today, we have released a new trailer for our upcoming title Under Defeat HD: Deluxe Edition, showing off some intense shmup (shoot 'em up) gameplay with multiple weapon and vehicle options available.

Developed by well-known Japanese arcade game company G.rev, this classic title will be receiving new features such as improved graphics, a new two-player mode and a 16:9 New Order Mode, which will take advantage of HD television screens by making the field twice the size of regular shmups.
