Following the not-so-HD trailer we saw from Famitsu the other day, here are some new screenshots for Taito's upcoming Raystorm HD for XBLA and PSN. They give us a look at some of the revamped action, as well as a closer look at the ships themselves.
The game is looking decent for a digital title, and nigh-on spectacular for what used to be a PS1 shooter. Even if you disagree, it still warms the heart to see the shmup revival picking up speed out there. Maybe we'll see it continue, similar to what's happening with 2D fightans lately, which would be splendid. Still no word on pricing or a release date, but you'll know as soon as we do. in the meantime, check out the gallery and let us know what you think.

Have you played it Topher? Is it worth ten to fifteen dollars?
It's an XBL indie-cade game that was slated to come out over the summer. 4-players, each player has 2 ships they independently control.
@P3t3y: I got an email from the guys who made that, and never heard anything about it again. I was looking forward to it, dunno what happened.
Not enough shmup love on gaming websites. Topher <3 <3 <3
