As expected, word of a Raystorm remake coming to XBLA and PSN has turned out to be very true, and Famitsu has come through with the first video of the game in motion. The trailer was shown at an STG event in Japan over the weekend, understandably to much fanfare.
Check it out after the jump to get a look at the ships, system and some of the enemies and bosses you'll be facing off against. While the game itself is in delicious high-def, the trailer unfortunately is not, so you'll have to use your imagination a bit. Still, it's looking mighty fine to me, and I'm excited for this to finally hit both digital marketplaces. And if you didn't catch it the first time, yes -- Raystorm HD will indeed be coming to PSN as well as XBLA.
It's not that much definitionier because it appears they're still using the original art assets. And for what it's worth, I think the art design is rather nice. Just not 6005 polygons per krundle nice.

"There's something up ahead. This one looks different."
Anyway, I watched that whole thing hoping for a barrel roll. Weak effort on the barrel roll tally. Otherwise that looks awesome.
ZTT mix sucks, put it on Neu Tanz Mix.
It does look pretty awesome, although not as HD as the title led me to believe.
