Well, let's start naming the possible candidates: Titus, Majesco, etc.
Hell, not even these screens are anywhere near real. You can see that they used that "cross-stitch" Photoshop filter to create the blur in the 2-screen one and, well, uh...the ships are wildly different in design in the two sets.Cheebs said:
What is Nibris' game? Publisher fraud or something?

i like it when developers ask me what their game should be like. makes me feel important.

A little fluff between the ears never did any harm...
I'd say 1, if it were 2, the FPS would probably drop dramatically. And let it be the bottom screen with the option to control the ship with the stylus.
How the hell have they not made that decision already!? If you're running 3D in both screens you take a serious performance hit as you're drawing double the pixels (Mario Kart drops to half the frame rate in these modes). You'd think art asset creation would already have the limitations in mind, wtf?

In a week or so, we'll get a follow-up post that'll be something like...

The physical form of blasphemy
Times like this, I wish nintendo would make them say something actually relevant about the games. I'm all for asking the fans for stuff...look at Metal Gear (well those were more of threats...), but this is getting rediculous.

Two screens, please.
Oh, and tighten up the graphics at level 3. Thanks.

People in that Gamespot thread don't even sound skeptical of these guys, for some reason.

glad to heard people isn't stupid anymore
This a more delicate decision than it appears.
If the game has 3D grafics as they show on those shoots, that means that the 2 screens use would drop framerate to 30 in each. And on a fast paced game that would be a bad move. As we do not know how is it's pace we can't decide for one or another mode.
Those are my points:
case a) The gameplay it's slowpaced and the speed at which elements are scrolling on the screen are slow, so the player can follow easily the development of the stage. - make it 2 screens by default, just to sustain the 2 screens cool factor.
case b) The gameplay is quick paced and in order the keep the hiperaction of the player enemies and their amo should scroll really at high speeds. - Make it one screen and gimmick on the second (a radar which no one will care like in Nanostray).
case c) There's hundred interesting posibilities if you can add to the gameplay constant perspective changes. Check classics like Axelay to know some tidbits ¡and imagine the posibilities! - If the developer got to that point then, of course, go for 30 fps 2 screens with slow paced gameplay. Also, remember you can swicht from 2 3d screens to one 3D screen, ofering the posibility to fast the action for some stages (again ¡check classics!)
Of course, Nibris can contact me for more in deep help

it becomes much less delicate when you realize the game doesn't, technically, exist.

One screen because it's better for a vertical shooter and they're saying that in bullet time slow motion mode the bottom screen will be semi transparent so we can do precise actions.
Seems good, no ?

A dual screened bullet hell shooter, where the bottom screen would be zoomed to close by your ship (so you can get close ups of the bullets and their hitboxes), would be a pretty cool idea for the DS.
That said, I have little to no faith in this game... if its even coming. Has there EVER been a quality shooter that wasn't Japanese developed?

Dont be silly. no addons needed. You can just upload the game across like 8 Ds's. Connectivity for the win. Itll be like single player coop. You can have like 7 copilots yelling you the path of the fire.

Looks great either way, but I'd prefer the extra real estate provided by having two screens.

You know, I've been raised to be as uncynical as is possible, but Nibris...
Have they actually shown anything tangible?

What will happen if Nibris release a game?
a) massive ownage?
b) seppuku of some rabid forumer?
c) "well, yes, they released a game, but it sucks anyway"
I mean, I can understand the complains and I´m far from being 100% sure they will release a game to the market. But some of you seems so passionate and convinced that is a vaporware company that I could see some heads exploding if they finish developing a full and comercial game.
Burning all the bridges is never a good idea.

If they release a game, I'll nod, and check out reviews and stuff to form an opinion of whether this game is worth my time.

They will release something, no doubt. But it's ridiculous how such amateurs with a moreso ridiculous fanboyish statement on their site get attention and hype. From what I have read many Nintendo fans expect Sadness to be the next Eternal Darkness. If this was a project for a non-Nintendo platform, nobody would even give a damn about them.

I will gladly be owned if Nibris actually makes a game that lives up to the crazy hype and secrecy of Sadness but until they do that, they're a fake company. And Raid Over the River doesn't count, even if it does get released.
