Project Sylph looks like it will offer an intense arcade-style shooting experience. The stages that have been revealed so far are set in space and feature scenes with over a thousand enemy ships, along with giant mother ships. All of this is presented like never before thanks to the power of Xbox 360.

As you blast your way through the stages, an on-screen display provides you with information about your ship and your surroundings. The game displays a simple radar output, showing where your enemies are, and also shows gauges for shield and armor. The screen also provides details on your current formation; it appears that you fight along side at least two other ships.

You'll be able to equip four weapons to your ship simultaneously: a nose weapon and three main weapons. As you clear stages and earn points, your weapons can be upgraded, resulting in a total of over 50 weapon types.

Project Sylph promises to feature something for everyone. Outside of shooting, the game will include story and character elements, told through CG sequences. The shooting segments can be toned down for novice players with an easy mode which simplifies the controls.


Looks like its nothing more than a shooter, but that doesn't mean I can't have fun with it. I want an amazingly flashy space combat game that shows off the power of the 360. Really can't wait to see all the cool weapons and stuff.

Sounding like a 3d R-Type :)

I'm really looking forward to seeing what the next gen shooters bring.

i hope it's more like Panzer Dragoon style shooting more than Star Wars style.

I hate sim like shooters they get too complicated.

It sounds interesting, TGS gets more exciting by the day.

The older arcade series has never been about sim style play. It will be pretty much like Panzer Dragon only more far more chaotic I assume with the power of the 360.

Hell this game if done correctly could put warhawk to shame.

Warhawk is exactly what i dont' like ... :S

Warhawk seems to play more like a flight game more than a shoot em up.

I guess i like shooters where you have to stay alive, whether you shoot or dodge enemies.

R-type wasn't about shooting everything on the screen it was just about making a path for yourself, I would like to see this in a 3D shooter. (similar to the airship stages in Kingdom Hearts hehe)

I thought the big update was Squeenix sending it to the PS3 instead.

lol I think this is just a taste of what Square enix has in story for the 360, but we'll see at TGS or maybe X06 who knows when they'll reveal it, but I know they are hiding something pretty big.
