New R-Type takes flight on PSP

R-Type Tactics looks to take the series in a new direction
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.

So much for Irem's protestations that R-Type Final was aptly named.

grinding away on ff12? do the hunts until you've got the nihaphaloa (!?) and kill everything with a phoenix down,trust me it'll save you at least 30 hours of grinding. anyway,r-type : are irem involved? as i also remember the booklet to 'final' stating that there would be no more and IF there was irem wouldn't be involved.
