The shooter games thread returns! The Empire Of Ammo says, EVERYBODY GETS SHOT!

That is being released for North American XBLA, right?

Correct, at least thats the so-so for now.

Gradius V boss rush.

Notes:

-Loop 10 difficulty (each time you beat the game, you start on the next loop, which increases the difficulty. So, this guy beat the game 10 times.)
-All core shields release a screenful of bullets
-bullets move faster
-bosses have completely new patterns
-most small enemies release suicide bullets
-Sometimes you have to fight 4 bosses consecutively.

Props to the guy that made this vid.

playing this right now. level 3 is fucking hard. thereā€™s all these blocks that move into you and you have to be killing enemies while moving up and horizontally to get through the block patterns. hardā€¦

Found a game called hellsinker. Donā€™t know if it has been discussed already but here is the demo for it. http://freeware.remakes.org/index.php?a=1&sz=&rand=0&sl=&

And a video here. [media=youtube]l5-Wh33U-ww[/media]

The interface is different. Some ships if you dont fire for awhile slow down bullets that come close to you. Most if not all the weapons overheat if you fire them constantly. The first ship if you press the fire button rapidly fires armor piercing bullets but if not it shoots regular less powerful shots. Also some enemies if you are too close to them will not fire on you.

With Naomi getting cracked, alot of Shmups will be available on our PCā€™s, soon. Most I missed out on because of them being fairly new, and Japan Only.

damn!! that game is about fire hot. thanks for sharing with us. if there are any premium members looking in the thread, would one of you please bless this man with some pos rep?

Thread necromancy, but in case you didnā€™t know:

Lords of Thunder was just released on Wii Virtual Console (February 11, 2008), 800 points. Get it!

With all the AOU 2008 trailers floating around, nobodyā€™s brought up [media=youtube]oMsljw_YdQY"[/media] yet (though, I guess everyoneā€™s fixed on SFIV, KOFXII, AH2, etc.)? Itā€™s looking really goodā€“canā€™t wait!

I was JUST gonna come here and mention that. DoDon Pachi series is probably on of my top 5 shmup series. Too much awesome. Canā€™t wait. Hell Iā€™m still trying to get ahold of the previous DDP release on the PS2. = (

EDIT - And same family of games; Bangi-O Spirits dated for Japan (03/19/2008), and will be in the states Q2 '08.

this is what I like. people getting shot. :tup: Sorry I havenā€™t had any updates of late. Iā€™ve been out of it with personal problems almost since the year started. hopefully things are clearing up now. Iā€™ll try to get back behind the stick and start shooting again soon.

Iā€™ve been getting shot for months now.

Anyway, I bumped this thread to bring you two words:
