“We Understand The Frustration” – ININ Games Addresses R-Type Dimensions III Tech Issues

Developer ININ Games has issued a statement regarding some of the technical issues plaguing R-Type Dimensions III.

The game launched to mixed reception and earned a score of 5/10 from us. We said, “there’s no getting around the fact that the developer has made a mess of the accuracy. Purists will be dismayed, and those attempting to play through it will feel incredibly frustrated by the increased and frankly unfair difficulty level”.

ININ has promised that fixes are on the way, but for the time being, it’s prioritising instances of crashing on Xbox, so there’s no timeframe on when the hitbox/collision issues will be resolved.

Here’s the statement in full:

It’s nice that this is seemingly being addressed so quickly, but nevertheless disappointing that games are still being launched in sorry states before being improved after the fact. R-Type Dimensions III could well prove to be a cracking experience at some point in the future, but that 5/10 score will forever remain.
