Yeah, I want a new Galaga, not a new Geometry Wars.

@dissectional75

I hear ya.... although I didn't really like what they did with geometry wars 2. It was cool, but 1 was still better, I think because it was simpler.

Looks cool.

I loved both of the new pacmans and with the same team working on Galaga this should be a matchmate in heaven, but the new gameplay looks way to much like a bullethell which doesn't look very Galagaish.

Whatever, take my money Namco.

Loved the music. And the games looks nice, but it doesn't look much Galaga-like.

I do trust Namco on these things, however.

I love Pac-Man CE and Pac-Man CE DX. I loathe Galaga Legions difficulty of memorizing patterns. I'm still not digging the blurry glowing look. I was hoping for a bigger change. I'm sure I'll buy it day one.

Guys, this thing doesn't look anything like Geometry Wars. It's clearly wave-based, like old Galaga, but with much faster waves and from multiple directions. Yet the enemies still move in wave clusters, probably will break away, but the whole thing will be a lot faster and a lot more dynamic.

Geometry Wars is about managing several different AI behavior types. This looks like it will be about managing wave and group behaviors and patterns which is a fundamentally different experience.

Yeah it looks like a "bullet hell." I've played a lot of those sorts of games and love them - but this one also looks really unique and actually keeps some orginal Galaga gameplay - just amped up to 11.

The whole getting to the core of a wave of enemies thing looks pretty awesome.

Dual stick Galaga?

That doesn't sound like Galaga, though...



Whatever. Pac-Man CE DX was my GotY 2010.
Sign me up.

While this is quite a twist on what Galaga is all about, so was Pac Man Championship Edition. Needless to say, Pacman CE was one of the best games I've ever played, and I love the way Namco is approaching the remastering/remaking of their best titles. Definitely will buy Galaga Legions DX, especially since Galaga was my all-time favorite arcade game.

I'm a huge fan of Galaga and this video was very underwhelming. It's too gutted.

It'd have to have one kick ass demo to get me to bite. A really kick. ass. demo. I think the chances are low.

Wow, I thought that looked awesome. Want to play, want to play. Also, the player ship looked strangely Vic Viper-like to me.
