What's your favorite scrolling shooter/shmup anon?
Care to recommend me one?
Radiant Silvergun
Cho Ren Sha 68K is the one I've played the most.
I absolutely adore it, great game would recommend.
Definitely the DoDonPachi series, every game in that series is fantastic, with the exception of 2. My only real complaint would be the sheer difficulty spike between sequels, but its also cool for each game to be even more retartedly crazy than the last. Music is pretty good to boot.
>>337084760
Were the waifus they added to compete with 2hu?
too many to list but i like gradius for the arcade a lot
i've been trying to get good at terra cresta recently
>>337084067
Rayforce.
Its main schtick is that you have a weapon that allows you to take out enemies below your plane of movement that your normal shot cannot reach. It also gets more hectic the longer you stay alive.
Rayforce was followed by two games: Raystorm and Raycrisis, which use pretty much the same mechanics, but also include a bomb feature.
A similar but unrelated game is Kamui, which is basically Rayforce but more hardcore and radicool.
>>337085018
quarth is also a fun puzzle/shmup hybrid
>>337084936
I'm pretty sure it was just Japan being Japan. Plus CAVE had been making shmups with waifus prior to both DoDonPachi daioujou AND tohou 6. But I'm not really an expert on the history of shmups so I can't really say.
I wonder why there wasn't more of this.
>>337084760
>>337085686
i'd take the flyer more seriously if it a dying little girl in a frilly dress
>>337085848
That poster's badass as fuck tho.
This is my shit
>>337085936
but the character design is dumb as shit
>>337085992
Nah she's drawn really well. Looks like gritty as fuck cyborg shit.
>>337085981
ayyy
>>337085793
That shit was phenomenal. The one thing Square did that wasn't a RPG and played pretty great.
Also, name me another shmup series that had a spinoff that wasn't a shmup.
>>337085686
Shmups from Japan were never all that girly in the 80s and 90s. It was pretty much all about Darius, Gradius, R-Type, Thunder Force, etc. Granted you did have your occasional cute 'em up, but they weren't all that prevalent in comparison to your average space shooters.
So who's keeping shmups alive in Japan right now? I know that alcoholic Zun is one of them.
I fucking love the Raiden series. Something about dodging loads of aimed shots gets me hard.
Pick your pilot
>>337086889
I was really surprised the american version kept their jap names.
>>337086889
I pick the cute oneAKA the F-14
I've been working on my own shmup, need to get better at my art before I move ahead though I have the basics done already. How would ya'll feel about cutscenes that are breaks between the gameplay, between each chapter to set up a grander world/story? Exposition will also be given during gameplay in an almost Star Fox way through comms. The gameplay won't be a scrolling shooter though, at least I don't think I want it to be. I wanted it to control more like asteroids where you have a lot of freedom in movement, and the levels are much larger. Just wanted to gauge opinions
PN03
>>337086273
Pop'n Twinbee, Rainbow Bell Adventures. There are probably others I'm not thinking of right now.
>>337084067
R-Type Final on the PS2. Good luck finding the fucking thing though so in it's stead I recommend Raptor: Dark Shadows or some shit.
>>337087253
Never heard of that one before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrcNHERRyCI
The best shmup in years
>>337086229
You see ayyys in there?
>>337087253
People are in here actually recommending R-Type Final jesus anon get some taste and play Ibara or a Cave game or something.
>>337087439
>Ibara
Not him but I tried that one. Didn't really care too much about it. Love me some cave games though. Fucking Mushihimesama
>>337087121
>How would ya'll feel about cutscenes
pls no. At least have an option to turn them off.
>>337087369
That fucking music man
Deathsmiles is a really fun game and i think casper is really cute!!
>>337087523
true I suppose I can add an option like that. I wanted to make something with super polished gameplay that feels fun to play, but the cutscenes will be more for casuals who care about story. I want to make something that could appeal to more people, and maybe in some way get more people into shmups. I'm talking as if it's going to be a success even though I still have no idea what I'm doing
>>337087315
Which one? I'll just assume both.
>R-Type Final
I think it was the first 3D R-Type. Pretty fun, shit ton (I think over 100) different ships to choose from. Also just checked amazon, it's there for pennies.
>Raptor: Call Of Shadows
Took me a minute to remember the title.
Runs on a potato. The thing is you shoot down aliens and shit thus you receive money. Money is used to buy new weapons. It felt unique at the time so that's why it stuck with me. A bit dated though.
>>337087439
CAVEfags are truly the worst.
I'd rather play R-Type Final than most of the CAVE library. Their only good games are the one on 68000 hardware.
>>337084067
SHIT IS THAT MOTHERFUCKING TRUXTON?
Used to play that shit every goddamn afternoon when I was a kid. Fucking loved the music.
>>337087790
The first 3D R-Type was Delta for the PS1, and that shit was atmospheric as fuck.
>>337087790
Raptor
>>337087915
It's as close as you'll get to a good "cinematic" shmup.
There's something about the entire game that feels cinematic.
>>337084760
I have acrophobia.
That pic made my feet cold
>>337087882
Listen even if you don't want bullet hell you could at least play Dariusburst or even the other fucking R-Types or something instead of literally the most slow, boring shmup on earth.
>>337084067
>>337085981
What games?
>>337088102
Well yeah, that's true.
>>337088145
Truxton and Gradius III.
also post yfw when you got to this boss for the first time and you heard this:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLWkaz7aYMI
>>337087915
I stand corrected.
In all honesty I thought I'd played R-Type Final on the PS2 back when Walmart had demos. That's why years later I saw it on amazon and thought "Hey, I remember this. I should get it."
Turns out I had confused it with Gradius.
So TLDR: R-Type Final is the only one I've ever played.
Tyrian 2000. Still one of the best goddamn shmups ever made, and it's free on GOG. This game was part of my PC childhood and I'll never let it go.

Alternatively Raiden 2
>>337088536
is that advice I should be following?
>>337088797
Are you currently bad at STGs? If so, then yes.
>>337088797
Ketsui is probably the best bullet hell ever.
Raiden is like the anti-bullet hell. Bullets are few and come FAST.
>>337088536
is that an actual quentin thing
>>337088536
Shoulda really been Strikers rather than Gunbird there.
>>337088145
I didn't think anyone here wouldn't recognize Gradius. Thought it was more well-known than that. But then again it isn't 1991 anymore.

Kinda like the Twinbee games?
>>337089813
Then escape.
The only limit to your freedom is the inevitable closure of the universe, as inevitable as your own last breath. And yet, there remains time to create, to create, and escape.
Escape will make you God.
>>337089862
This one kind of reminds me of the old Star Fox comics.
>>337088389
Not in Japan.
>>337086496
JP arcades are filled with classic shmups and there is a modern Darius Burst that I see everywhere. Oh and that bug thing.
Hey guys, just a reminder that Raiden V is coming out tomorrow.
It's Xbone exclusive though.
>>337090234
All I saw were fighting games and shit like that in Joypolises. Not that I'm complaining of course, I love arcades. I really should have checked out that other arcade in Okayama before I left, probably had something like Dodonpachi in it.
2hu, all of them
>inb4 "HURR HURR MUH JAPANESE MLP, NOT EVEN A GAEM, YOU JUST PLAY IT FOR PORN AND WAIFUSHIT"
>>337090382
This confuses me. Who owns an Xbone in Japan and how many Americans still like, or in the case of younger people, have ever played, a shooter except maybe Galaga?
>>337090397
but that's true
>>337090470
I don't know what it is, but for some reason all the shmups are on Xbox platforms as of late.
>>337090470
I guess it's just keeping up tradition with last gen. The 360 got several shmups last gen for some reason.
Also, Galaga is comfy as fuck.
>>337090397
Well, is that not the case?
>>337090397
>>inb4 "HURR HURR MUH JAPANESE MLP, NOT EVEN A GAEM, YOU JUST PLAY IT FOR PORN AND WAIFUSHIT"
Well I'm glad you saved me some time and admitted it yourself.
>>337090397
2hu a shit for meme waifufags. Triggerheart is for real waifufaggots
>>337090536
Raiden used to be fairly popular if I recall correctly, but I don't know anyone under 30 that likes it. Jhonen Vasquez enjoys it. Take that as you will. As for why there were a bunch of STG on 360, it's closer to the hardware used in arcades since those run on embedded Windows. This is also why SFIV and various other capcom games ran better on 360 than PS3.
>>337090397
IN is best touhou
>>337090575
Galaga, man. Even though I didn't play all that much when I was a kid, I got better and better real quickly. I wanted to beat it so badly. I developed some good strategies in my short time with it each run.
>>337090732
I played the shit out of the NES version when I was around 4-5, I remember being pretty good at the game.
I've found this shit to be pretty good for mobile. Touch controls aren't that bad in a pinch, though I'd prefer a controller.
Anyone have these on their phones?
>>337090660
They're like the Sega of the modern age.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f88cu7Vhik
loved this game to death.
>>337090823
I played the arcade version, about as early as 6 or 7 I believe. I couldn't 1cc or anything like that, but with only a few quarters I got pretty far.
>>337089973
I dunno. Care to elaborate?
In Rayforce's case, said weapon is the lock-on laser.
>>337090950
This is one of those games that initially starts off really difficult, but becomes really easy given enough time with it. I liked that about Thunder Force 4. Coming back to it after a long absence makes it difficult, but it never feels like anything I can't handle.
>>337084067Undertale
>>337090383
Fighters and rhythm games dominate the arcade scene. Every other genre are relatively niche but there are plenty of arcades with lots of shmups. Taito Hey is one that I go to often.
>>337091263
>scrolling
>>337091383
I went to a Taito arcade, but it clearly wasn't a Taito Hey. Holy shit, they have fucking Batrider in there.
>>337091015
I appreciate how Galaga is a simple game but still manages to be challenging. It's a good shmup to just chill out with.
>>337091205
Nevermind, figured it out. For those who are interested in Twinbee:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9vh3nTdMhw
Probably Mushi Futanari desu, but Cho Ren Sha and DBCS are pretty close.
>>337091650
Can it even be called Twinbee's "main schtick" though? There are plenty of other powerups in that game. If I recall, Rayforce only has one gun that you can upgrade.
I think Twinbee's "main schtIck" is that it's an easy, cute, and accessible shmup.
>>337091739
>Mushi Futanari
kek
>>337092045
In Rayforce, your shot is upgraded in damage output, and your lock-on laser is upgraded by maximum number of shots that can be fired at once. The lock-on laser, across all three Ray games, is also more powerful than your regular shot by a wide margin, so if you get a chance to sic a lock-on on a foe that you would normally have to shoot the shit out of, it really helps.
>>337092375
Oh yeah, I forgot that you can upgrade the lock-on too.
>get new Darius game as a gift on Steam
>try playing it
>holy fuck, it's so hard, fast and chaotic
>few tries in I manage to cleat two stages and almost clear third
Then I decide to look up gameplay videos. Turns out game was running 2.5 times faster on my 144 Hz display and I was playing in that speed.
As slightly unrelated question, do you guys think getting Xbox 360 with freeboot is still worth it for all shmups it has?
>>337090950
I love TF3, and enjoyed 5, but am having trouble getting into TF4.
I'll stick with it.

Dude. EoSD was made specifically to ride the coattails of DDP:DOJ's success. ZUN even admits to exactly that in the manual.What he doesn't admit to is copying patterns from DOJ so blatantly, it borderlines on theft.

>>337093790

>>337092045

Touhou 1 isn't a shmup which is why I didn't count it. But even if you do, Batsugun was made in 1993 by Toaplan employees who would later form Cave.

>Stage 3
The trains giving you problems? Stage 3 also has one of the hardest moments in the game too, that part with popcorn throwing really fast bullets at you from the top as two trains come from the sides. That part always gets me even after playing for quite a while.
Not to mention the Stage 3 boss can also be a bit of a cunt. Those random bullets in the first phase can be rather tricky, plus his second form just fills the screen with shit.
Nothing a bit of practice wont fix of course. Just keep at it anon.
You still have a lot to do after beating the Stage 0 boss.

You don't even attempt to deny that you're a pathetic waste of space. I think that's funny.
Instead all you do is go "haha y-you're bad at g-games!".
Who the fuck cares dude? Do you go to bars and tell girls you have a high score in a subpar shmup series and they instantly want to fuck you for it? Is that what you're telling me? Because that's not how reality works. Your delusion never ceases to amaze me, after all these years.

Didn't that happen to you? Because you disappeared for quite some time.

Well this is the first time I've heard someone mention it in a long while. I know exactly what link you are talking about even, it's where I got it myself.
Hellsinker is there too, great shmup but also real weird.
>>337098056
Assuming you're not him, he does this bullshit in practically every shmup and metroidvania thread.
Hilariously, he's already been proven to cheat some of his "records."

It's so nice that we come across each other so often, you do not disappoint in providing comedy gold when you throw a shit fit.
>That's just projection. You still never provided us with a replay of the time trial mode, by the way.
There is no replay function in Ys.
You however, will never provide us with a replay of what you can do in shmups. Unlike me, you have no excuse what so ever, other than being terrified due to how shit you are lmao.
>Not being a complete waste of space.
But of course, I'd be lost without my beloved 4chan. Whatever would I do without it?
>Didn't that happen to you? Because you disappeared for quite some time.

There's no replay function in any shmup worth a damn, either.

Isn't that exactly what Touhou is?

Read the entire thread and not a single mention of gigawing 2 (dreamcast) or flying tigers (dos)
Glad to see raptor call of the shadows, tho. Ikaruga ofc. Raiden and r type made me lol. Might as well say tempest 2000 or asteroids

Touhou has a vibrant, competitive scoring scene.
CAVE scoring is dead, just like CAVE itself lmao.
I understand why you're upset though, not being able to compete in the big boy league. Maybe one day you'll be able to 1cc a 2hu game.
>>337099047

I don't want to open Steam because it has been years and it will make me install updates or something probably.
You're on Rizon, right.

Oh a there's a mod in steam that replaces one of the games in the Genesis collection for this one.

>There's no replay function in any shmup worth a damn, either.
What the fuck kinda shmups are you playing? Nearly every shmup that came out in the past 15 years either has built in replay saving, or is ported to a system with it. Majority of mame builds allow replays too.
>>337099583
>Majority of mame builds allow replays too.
Aren't those refused by most competitive scenes?
JP players especially. You need to be able to do it on the PCB.

Really?
How can you stand it? And have you seen the ending to that game? It's the biggest "go fuck yourself" I've ever seen.
>>337100019
What's the ending for it? It cant be that bad.
>>337100241
You literally beat the boss and it just says CONGRATULATIONS! with the game's standard font and the game loops back.
It's like they forgot to put an ending in.
>>337100329
Maybe you gotta win the game 10 times to unlock the true ending.

Got any suggestions for browser-playable shmups?
>>337102476
Just download Cho Ren Sha
>>337102476
Just do what >>337102571 says. Screw the rules, dodge death bullets.
I like Giga Wing

1944: the Loop Master is great too
Tyrian is pretty awesome, I'm not actually too big a fan of these kinds of games but this one is just plain fun

>>337102417
Anon please...
But on another note, can you do this in a CAVE shmup?
https://a.pomf.cat/gooewh.mp4I wish I could just make a fucking webm out of that for convenience.
I was actually expecting these STG threads to be filled to the brim with CAVE fags, but it seems to be more of a /vr/ style shmup thread. Do any of you guys go there? I've only checked that board out two or three times, but they always seem to have a shmup thread up dedicated to these ancient shmups.
A /v/ Shmup would be cool.

Favorite boss ever is from Stage 4. After I got down the flow it became pretty boring though. The only other shmup I've played is jamestown+. Any recommendations?
>>337103392
>the game is good because it gives you two shields that take a billion damage each and you can save between stages
This guy is casual as fuck.
>>337104293
Well you got me there.
There will probably be a ton of people who would play it ironically.
>>337104418
Cho Ren Sha or Hellsinker.
Both are pretty good.
>>337104486
As apposed to dying in one hit and starting over? There's tons of different playstyles for tons of people, some don't like to start the whole thing over after getting hit by one stray bullet, and others do like it for some reason. Honestly the shields aren't that powerful when you first start the game so over time you build up your shields and armor while the stages get more intense and throws more at you. Personally I see a lot of these 'bullet hell' games and think 'Who the hell could possibly have the time and effort to put themselves through that?' There's those types of games, and there's Tyrian. Also Ross is a total casual, but in a good way.
>>337105181
Hey havent I heard this exact opinion somewhere else.
>>337105181
>dying in one hit and starting over
How often does this happen? Majority of STGs give plenty of lives and bombs, only becoming truly difficult if you go for a high score or do more than 1 loop.
I'd also argue bullet hells are much easier than others. Being good in one helps immensely when you decide to play another. They've ended up become my favourite for casual play because of this.
>>337103392
>>337104486
Yeah, Ross is just a baby.
So we're supposed to believe it's the genre's fault that he sucks?
>>337097720
Omfg I remember reading about this one in a magazine and thinking it should be awesome
>>337105384
I wouldn't doubt it dude, it's possible for two people to have the same opinion
>>337105675
Like I said I don't really play these types of games, but the ones I have played are either like that or something like that, so I can't say that those games aren't fun or that others can find enjoyment in them
>>337105836
He never said the genre sucks, he just says that he wants to play a game that doesn't punish him for being perfect
>>337106048
>he just says that he wants to play a game that doesn't punish him for being perfect
The problem is that's what defines the good games of this genre.
Every time they add health bars in shmups they usually do it because the dev has no actual idea how the genre's supposed to be.
Then they realize "oh shit we have a health bar in our game, so let's just be lazy with our level design and and make hits unavoidable". Tyrian does this PLENTY of times.
Deathsmiles is a great intro to bullet hell
No love for Outzone?
Been playing Strikers 2 a shitload lately.
