This game is fucking awesome
I've ways been a fan of the R Type and Raiden games.
Haven't played 5 yet.
Really want a retail copy.
Xbone is not though.
>>339782610
It's coming to Steam
>>339782552
Man this Xbox 360 is amazing... oh. Will wait for V to go to the better platform.
http://store.steampowered.com/app/323460/
So Japan are trying to turn the Xbone into a shmup machine like what they did to the 360.
>>339782704
Well that makes it moot.
>>339782610
>>339782782
They actually shot down the possibility of a PC release any time soon.
It's going to remain an Xbone exclusive for the foreseeable future.
>>339782610
>Xbone is not though.
Meh. I enjoy both my bone and my PS4, though I'll admit they're both the worst consoles their companies have put out.
Plus Raiden games are made for couch co op.
>>339782610
It's better than the ps4. Then again, what isn't.
It's great.
Pretty good for drinking games too.
It's a good counter to N++, which is my favorite PS4 exclusive (although I hear it's going multiplat, unlike raiden)
Looks like Raiden IV with more boring empty levels, shittier bosses and awful graphics. Did they improve anything?

>It's better than the ps4. Then again, what isn't.
Wii U
But yes I enjoy X1 more than PS4. Bloodborne is great but that's really it. No backwards compatibility is a huge negative.
Maybe when the last guardian comes out I'll get back into it.
>>339783163
It's a very smooth entry into the series.
Not my personal fave, but the best in a while.
>>339783163
Level design and difficulty feels infinitely better than Raiden IV, two of the three ships aren't DLC and the game is harder, faster and longer.
This is my favorite X1 exclusive.
Ironically, N++ is my favorite PS4 exclusive.
It's ironic that a new golden age of sprite games may be happening under our nose and nobody notices it.
Here's a pic of the retail copy.
>>339783574
Here's the back.
To my knowledge there's no English retail edition, but like DOAX3, this is region free, so you can order through Playasia or eBay or wherever.
>>339782552
>xbone exclusive
this is fucking suicide
>>339783574
>It's ironic that a new golden age of sprite games may be happening under our nose and nobody notices it.
I've been saying this shit for years.
People are meming left and right that the PS4 has no games when in reality it has a phenominal "indie" and sprite game lineup.
Then the X1 also has a few gems like idarb and Raiden V.
>$50 for an XBLA type game
>>339783810
Idort here.
The X1 is harmless.
I actually have been gaming on it a lot more lately than the PS4.
Granted, that will change when FFXV comes out. I know it's a multiplat but like Metal Gear Solid V and Kingdom Hearts, I just have to play it with a dualshock.
Anyone that grew up with a Playstation knows what I mean.
>xbox being a shmup machine
Why does this keep happening?
>>339783960
>Actually competent and well designed shmups
>XBLA type games
How does it feel to be this retarded?
>>339783960
Well worth it for the replayability alone.please don't tell me you think cinematic crap like the witcher is worthy more value than Super Mario Bros. 3
>>339784023
In Japan the 360 and now the Xbone have always been shmup and VN port machines.
>>339784023
I not really fair. This is the thanks I get for supporting a Japanese console? Not getting Japanese games?
>>339784015
But this is suicide for japanese niche dev
>all these underaged that can't into the concept of a non-3D game being charged retail value
A games worth comes from its replayability, not its graphics.
I haven't even played raiden V and I don't own an Xbone, but like >>339783574 said, N++ is easily my favorite PS4 game and I don't give a fuck that it's a 2D platformer
>>339784324
The game wasn't even going to be made if M$ hadn't funded the project.
Think Sony and Shenmue 3.
Raiden games are generic and boring.
Go play Armed Police Batrider on MAME if you want to experience an actually fantastic shooting game.
This rivals Doom 4 as my personal GOTY so far.
Though with The Last Guardian, FFXV, and No Man's Sky coming out, I doubt it will hold that title.
>>339784594
>Armed Police Batrider
This game is actually a pretty hard.
It kicked my ass the first time I played it.
But it's fun as fuck.
>>339782704
thank fuck for that. guess they wanted someone to actually play it
>>339784764
Normie mode's not too bad, unless you trigger Envy.
>>339784767
It's actually staying X1 exclusive.
But seriously who at this point isn't an Idort?
I mean I can see not getting both the 3DS and Vita but if you don't have all 3 consoles and PC you're really just fucking yourself.
>>339784447
But they are too silent about the game to fund it i think...
>>339784447
Also Nintendo and Bayonetta
better for a dev to get it to someone than no one
>>339782552
Did this already get localized?
>>339785021
Yeah, and if you also import the retail version you can play it in english regardless.
>>339784948
If you are buying shitbox one and have pc, you are basically a cretin
>>339784948
>unabashedly giving Microshit any shekels
>>339782552
>they actually went through the trouble of localizing this despite the fact that all the people who gave a shit are either waiting for a port or just imported it
Why?
>>339784948
>Buying two pay-to-play-online systems
The consoles are competing in all the worst ways this gen.
>>339782552
Now that this is out, when can we Mandatory Happiness to come out in the west?
>>339785468
Psycho pass?

>>339785912
FUCK
Guess I'll get it on PC than. The one console I wanted it on
>>339785135
Could say the same thing about PS4.
I've ways loved the raiden games.
Looking forward to co-opping this over the weekend.
>ds3 happened
>x1 and ps4 are just equally shit now
lmao
What is the difference between Raiden 4 and overkill?
>>339786483
Overkill has the overkill mode.

I've always found it hard to believe that raiden 1944 takes place in 1944
Isn't the final boss a giant space crab?
