New R-Type takes flight on PSP

PSP will be the home of the next R-Type game, titled R-Type Tactics, reveals the latest issue of Famitsu magazine.

Firm gameplay details are yet to be revealed, but the word 'Tactics' in the title suggests it being some sort of turn-based strategy battle game, a theory supported by one of the screens in a blurry photo of the magazine. Just look to the right at the screen above the black box - that looks like a grid-based battle system to us.

We'd hope that the traditional shoot-'em-up gameplay of the series isn't completely abandoned, but we'll have to wait and see.

Sounds great, but surely will be an awful game.

i dont really like tactic games, too bad.

if it is anything like the psx's r-type delta I am in heaven.

who in the right mind would want to make an rtype shooting game a tactics game.
the two dont make a good combination.

I though r-type final for the ps2 was the last r-type game ??!!?

how about... waiting for the game to come out before making assumptions? =]

I love R-Type games and Tatics too

R-Type Delta for the PSX is an amazing game and will be hard to beat.

Actually I like the idea of a "tactics" game. I really love the game Nectaris for both PC Engine and the PSX. So an R-type tactics game could work.

I'll take on the Bydo Empire tactically any day!!!
