remember R-type?
 
looks like it's being remade. i used to love that game! it was one of the few games that i mastered - that is, beat it w/ 1 ship (i think it was on a sega genesis but i forget)

There was also R-type Delta and R-types on PSX - both of them were fantastic.

Shooters are making a comeback, wooohooo! I thought there was another old skool shooter getting an update? Or maybe I'm just imagining things....

Superboy 05-14-03 08:12 AM

Gradius is getting another installment.

Kazuma05 05-14-03 11:06 AM

I love shooters can't wait :D

devilshalo 05-14-03 11:46 AM

R-Type was cool :up:

Always wished there was any kind of update for Xevious.

young 05-14-03 11:52 AM

i never really got into gradius. but i loved xevious. and xaxxon! whoo hoo!

Outlaw 05-14-03 11:57 AM

I'll be looking forward to this. :)

If you haven't played it already, I would also highly reccommend Einhander for a shooter. It isn't as difficult as some of the others like Ikaruga but it does get hard in some spots and has an incredible upbeat techno soundtrack, probably one of the best scores ever.

There was; for the PSX entitled Xevious 3D+G. It sucked.

PixyJunket 05-14-03 12:36 PM

Yes, but on Xevious 3D+G there was Xevious Arrangement.. which kicked ASS.

Hopefully they don't change or screw the port up.

Eidos announced today that Irem's PS2 space shooter R-Type Final is headed to America as part of its Fresh Games line. Scheduled for release sometime this winter, R-Type Final will give American gamers one last chance to experience this quintessential shooter series.

Sweet! Was going to get the import too, now I don't have to!

There's a demo on the new playstation magazin disk. It's pretty cool. :) It's called R*type Final

illennium 12-06-03 01:02 PM

I play games entirely to relax and not to be challenged, so I don't really play shooters. It's kind of a shame, since I like the idea--they're just all too damn hard.

R-Type Final. :banana:

Has anyone seen this game in the stores yet? I think the relase date was supposed to be 2/3/04, but I can't find it. I'm actually looking forward to this one.

The last time I played R-type was on a TurboGrafx-16. I loved it. From the reviews I've read, it doesn't sound like this one will disappoint.

young 02-07-04 08:43 AM

i just saw the game online for $29.99... forget where. i'll look for it again.

Andalusia 02-08-04 02:25 PM

I played R-Type on Genesis. Great graphics for its time.

slateef 02-08-04 02:54 PM

the best shooter was Thunderforce III for Genesis, hands-down!
