One of the all-time greats is coming back, in a way it has never had a chance to barring a single digital (and since delisted) release in the late 2000s. City Connection and Clear River Games are collaborating with Irem on this, and there's not much more to it than hope for a good, straightforward port. The stage 2 theme heard in the trailer sounds like a new arrange, and the CG pans of the ships are also new as far as I know. Please look forward to the PlayStation's best.

Irem exists as a subsidiary that licenses its IPs, yeah. R-Type releases in recent years (Final 2/3, the in-development Tactics collection) have been handled by Granzella, a company started by former Irem developers. For a re-release like this that doesn't involve so much original development work, Irem likely just contracted the listed publishers and companies without their involvement.

I played this one on my PSP back in the day, it's a really excellent shooter. Quite difficult, from what I recall, but you have infinite continues, so I was eventually able to slog my way to victory (unlike SOME games I could mention Einhander)

Added a Steam page link to the OP now that it's up.

From the info shared there, this is indeed a TAKE×0FF joint, a team within City Connection who've handled ports like Akai Katana Shin, Deathsmiles I・II, Under Defeat, and the upcoming Mamorukun ReCurse!--all very good, high-quality versions of the respective games, absent of the issues with input lag and such that other City Connection projects sometimes run afoul of. Additional music is also the usual M.O. for this team, so that explains that. The screenshots indicate that the game is also not a simple emulation upscale, but that visual elements have been recreated, like the redone HUD assets, as well as mostly every texture in sight--authentic to the original game, but newly fashioned all the same. Don't see much to be worried about on any front.
