Radiant Silvergun XBLA Launches Sept 14!
- Thread starter LiK
- Start date
I'm very excited that this date has been released!
By the way, if you are a Treasure / RSG fan, Microsoft Studios worked with Mr. Maegawa at Treasure to create a small number of signed art prints to celebrate the launch of the game on Xbox LIVE Arcade.
Normally these types of things just go to the press, but in this case, we are saving about 1/3 of the total number to give directly to Treasure fans.
The full image will be released later (probably via our @playxbla Twitter feed) but you can see Mr. Maegawa signing them in this pic:

Cool beans, I would love one of those prints!
levious said:
We haven't finalized the contest rules yet, but I'll post here or in the OT (if there is one) once we know.
There are only a few dozen of these prints available, and we want them to go to people who really love Treasure and RSG, so we want to do something special.

ikaruga on XBL sucks, but a new player to the series can't really tell. the timing/scoring/spawn times are off compared to the GC and DC versions. I remember my first hands on with it I was somewhat disappointed.Smision said:
Tho, for someone new to ikaruga, it's much more user friendly since you can start off from the furthest stage you've beaten. I guess it doesn't matter if you're just playing for survival and not trying to compete for score.
regarding cave games - even tho everything but original mode is brutal, futari is a good introduction to the danmaku genre. It's just an all around solid experience.
I think guwange and deathsmiles have the most interesting mechanics (other than akai katana which is region-locked) and are also good introductions as well.
I have mixed feelings about Raiden 4 :/
as for RSG, I'm happy to finally be able to play it with my HRAP EX-SE. Lets just hope it's a better port than ikaruga XBLA or I might just have to stick to the saturn version.

lol, wow.Oemenia said:
I'm not going to pretend that I didn't enjoy this game. Heck, I think it was worth the $130 that I paid for it. But lol.
Ikaruga doesn't punish you for ignoring its chaining system, and its chaining system is a lot more fun and better thought-out than RSG's to begin with. Ikaruga gets better and more impressive the more you play it. The reverse is true of its predecessor. RSG isn't half the game Ikaruga is.
But that speaks more about how much I love Ikaruga than anything else. RSG is still a great game and I'm on board for this release just to see what they've done with it this time around.
This is literally false. Directly contradicted by the game's director in interviews (that I am too lazy to search for and link at the moment). The entire reason that weapon levels are tied to score is that they wanted to try and force the player's hand into playing the game seriously. Fuck, the voiceover on the final stage is supposedly some hilarious BS metaphor for the death and rebirth of the game industry and how this game is a love letter to hardcore gamers who love to play these kinds of game over and over again to get better. Not even joking.discoalucard said:
I'll agree with you about the Saturn Mode being the only sensible way to play this game (but without using the save feature). The Arcade Mode is stripped-down to shorten the total length of the game. It has nothing special going for it.

Even on the first stage of Ikaruga there are some moments where trying to chain in a fancy way is likely to get you killed, let's say you want to shoot opposite polarity, suddenly a flood of bullets is coming at you from the other side and you actually have to dodge them instead of soaking them up with same polarity if you are not worrying about chaining. That's the beauty of the risk/reward system, if you don't care and you just want to play through it casually, you technically can. I'm not sure about RSG, but I think it will be similar where 95% of the people who play it will not care about chaining at all and just want to survive. Some of the Japanese players who play shmups literally play nothing but that single game for months on end, putting 100s of hours into a single game. Obviously that is not the majority of the XBLA market, so I don't think it's fair to turn people off of the game by warning them about something they likely won't care about anyway...

I usually am one not to complain about too many good games being released around the same timeframe but dam why did they have to release so close to so many other titles. I just spent the majority of my points on third strike. Guess I'm off to buy a points card tomorrow.

I always always wanted to play this on Saturn but never felt like spending that kind of money on it. Day fucking one.

Upon reading the thread title, my balls dropped. On the 14th I will truly become a man. I've waited years Treasure. I can't waitto find all of those psycho-ass dogs again.
It's been too long good friend, far too long.

This is the reason I would get a X360, all those SHMUPS!
Do we have official confirmation that this date is for a universal release? Patrick Klepek tweeted that this date is for the Japanese store, as far as he knows. Hopefully, it comes out for the US and other countries too, but don't want to get people hyped and then have it not be available on that day in their region.

Raiden Fighters Aces, since it comes with Raiden Fighters Jet and that game is boss.

I think you can rest assured, the other way happened recently (Torchlight wasn't released in Japan even though they said it would be) but I am 99.999999999999999999% sure it is coming out in US on Sept 14th. Or Mr. Charla can confirm here if he is so kind as to do so

"Our frothing demand for this game increases."
Seriously, though. better "Be Praying." RSG got rated by the ESRB, and Microsoft Studios is in charge of publishing (I think). I'm also wondering that, if released here, is going to have dubbed scenes.
I actually don't own RFA. Question for RFA owners:
Do you know how the game handles speed/timing? Like, are there timing options in the options menus? All the games in that package were meant to update at 54hz, which is a HUGE leap from 60hz, so I can only assume that they were either heavily reprogrammed, they visually stutter a little bit, or they run a chunk faster than the arcade originals.
I don't know if I'll ever get into the chaining, yeah. In the past, though, I've said that the game is simply "too long". It might be true in this case, but there's nothing inherently wrong about a longer shooter, is what I meant.

The game practically is a boss rush already. It's at least 50% of the game.andymcc said:
