Taito has released new information about new features added to Darius Cozmic Revelation, as G-Darius HD and Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+ will see expanded content like additional game modes and more for its worldwide release this winter. Gematsu broke down the details:
? Newly Announced New Features
G-Darius HD
- Teatro 50 (EX)-Style Vibration Reproduced – G-Darius HD recreates the vibration that originally occurs during specific scenes in the arcade version of G-Darius when running on the Teatro 50 (EX) arcade cabinet via the vibration of the controller. Several wallpapers are also included that can be displayed while playing, including a wallpaper in the style of the Teatro 50 (EX).
Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX+
- Replay Mode – In addition to displaying the high scores across each mode, the game now features a Replay Mode to be able to witness how the top players performed first-hand. You can download the play data of the player in the top spot for each ranking.
- Ghost Score Display – By playing a stage for which you have downloaded replay data, the score from the replay will be displayed on-screen as the Ghost Score. Aim to improve your score by playing while comparing your score against the top ranker. The Ghost Score can be set to either the top ranker’s score or your personal high score.
- Arcade Cabinet Vibration Reproduced via the Controller – The powerful vibrations produced by the speakers built into the seat of the Dariusburst Another Chronicle EX arcade cabinet have been reproduced via the controller. This vibration of the arcade cabinet is not merely in proportion to sound—since each background track and sound effect use dedicated signals set apart from the audio, Zuntata attempted to reproduce the vibration of the arcade cabinet similarly through tuning.
