What shmups are /vr/ playing today?
Ikaruga and Dodonpachi
RECCA on Famicom
>>3308663
>>3308708
TwinBee 3 was pretty good
I just beat this game on the weekend, I like the gameplay, music and the overall theme of this. What's everyone's thoughts on it?
I was playing the Neo Geo Strikers 1945 game, but after a couple of days and no first loop clear i got bored, maybe i'll play it later.
>>3308727
Nice lil MD shooter, the music is the shit.
Just tried Battle Garegga on MAME after I've seen it discussed on here and I fucking love it. Is the Saturn version worth checking out?
>>3310007
It's arcade-accurate, but load times suck. It also includes Type 2 which turns the bullets into orange nerf balls.
fucking love the music in that game
>>3310158
not retro nigger, go to your containment general
>>>/vg/shmupg
why is the shmup general on /vg/ so bad?
>>3310158
>tfw even on low-end settings my shit computer can't run this with framerate drops
>>3308708
Gun nac is awesome. Maybe you're just bad at games?
>>3310532
Now it's a shmup thread :)
>>3310007
I love Garegga. It's my favorite vertical shmup despite the shitty deaths. Check out armed police batrider, same company and some familiar faces improves on some mechanics from garegga.
Been playing the JP version of Xexex but i have no clue what to really do since I've never really played R-Type. Love the game tho.
>>3308708
Abdox is pretty enjoyable.
Why the fuck hasn't anyone mentioned my waifu The Guardian Legend
>>3308708
>I hated Recca.
the fuck is wrong with you
>>3310768
How can you hate a specific shmup if you claim not to hate shmups? Aren't they all basically the same thing?
>>3310768
Maybe he's not a fan of massive sprite flicker.
>>3310775
They are, yup.
What the fuck do you fags even talk about in these retarded threads?
IM SHOOTING
IM SHOOTING
POST HI SCORES
HAHA YOU SCRUB
Can we cheat and talk about newer shmup games?
>>3310798
>newer shmup games
They don't exist
>>3310805
>Wearing nostalgia goggles that tight on their face
Whew ok lad.
>>3310821
Name five original non-indie/non-doujin shmups released in the past five years.
>>3310836
Darius Burst oh wait that's a port
>>3310836
Why are you not including indie shmups? They do justice more than any AAA developer out there you stupid cuck.
>>3310842
Because if they ain't released in arcades, they ain't worth playin.
>>3310836
Otomedius and Sine Mora come to mind since you said "original", not "good."
Geometry Wars 3 from 2014 was pretty fun but you probably aren't willing to count that.
>>3310851
That kind of mindset would make sense in the 90s but come on.
>>3310851
Oh, come on take your fucking nostalgia goggles off you fucking loser. The arcadre has been dead for well over 20 years. Deal with it, indie games are keeping the old-school cool alive so be greatful people are doing that for you.
>>3310863
>Deal with it, indie games are keeping the old-school cool alive so be greatful people are doing that for you.
>>3310869
That was actually a good game.
Try harder faggot.
>>3310874
>That was actually a good game.
>>3310852
>Otomedius and Sine Mora
Both are over 4 years old.
>>3310874
Wait, what?
The correct counterargument is "Gone Home is not representative of all indie games." which is true.
Gone Home isn't a good game. It's hardly even a game at all.
>>3310879
It is a game. You use your investigative and puzzle-solving skills to advance the story. If you don't do that you're unable to advance the story. It's called a challenge and it's called a fucking video game dumbass.
Try harder.
>>3310863
>this is what indiefags actually believe
Go back to your facebook circlejerk with your other nu-male SJW friends, retard.
What does /stg/ think of the Raiden V? I didn't even know it came out in the west back in May.
>>3310881
>Gone home
>challenge
>video game
Consider suicide.
>>3310885
If you don't agree with me then you're obviously not a gamer and not involved in actual gamer culture.
DOWN WITH THE PATRIARCHY
>>3310883
Hoping it will come to PC eventually. I don't have an Xbone, and Raiden V is the only thing on it (that I know of) that interests me.
>>3310883
Meh, it's Raiden.
I'd rather have a Raiden Fighters 4.
>>3310869
I liked it too, but this is REALLY not the board to be saying good things about Gone Home. I expect it will derail the thread now.

>>3310883
Mentioned it in the last thread, but holy fuck is that soundtrack ever amazing, hypest game of 2016 based on that alone. XBone exclusivity really hurts, my body needs more of that thunder p badly.
>>3310983
Eh. Horrid UI and graphics, though. Thought I was looking at a PSP game.
They can't seem to make these 3d graphics shooters look appealing. Eschatos is the best looking of the bunch, despite looking very simplistic.
>>3310480
What players on /vg/ are competing with each other?
>>3308663
This and Fantasy Zone IIthe 3DS port
>>3311465
wait my dumb ass forgot the image.
>>3311469
Not a shmup.
>>3311049
>They can't seem to make these 3d graphics shooters look appealing
Majority of modern shmups utilize 3D graphics, but use tired 2D gameplay.
Back in the late 90's we got stuff like Radiant Silvergun and Einhander, which spiced up the traditional shmup formula with 3D cinematics, and in the mid 2000's we got Senko no Ronde which mixed shmups with the fighting game genre. Devs got presented with so much new stuff to work and experiment with but nope, fuck that, imma play it safe and use the same good old traditional formula which has been dominating the genre for 25 years now.
Games from 20 and 10 years ago were more innovative than majority of today's attempts at the genre.
>>3311530
>25 years
35 years, in fact.
>>3311530
I don't even mean innovative gameplay or whatnot. I mean the graphics suck. I looked up Raiden V and it pretty much looks like crap compared to any random shooter from 1993.
>>3311530
>Senko no Ronde which mixed shmups with the fighting game genre.
Wow, I can only imagine how autistic that fanbase must be.
>>3308663
Does starfox count? Love dat shit
>>3311482
How?
>>3311571
Glad I'm not the only one who thinks it looks like Raiden III for PS2 except clearer resolution.
>>3310776
This, and it's the controls are terrible.
>>3311605
According to the STG Cult, nope.
>>3312034
>STG Cult
>he's still mad that people don't use the same term for steam screenshake fart apps and actual arcade video games.

Kingdom GP
played the fuck out of power strike 2 earlier on master system.
this game is fast as shit. feels like recca.
Why is Batsugun so GOAT?
>>3313647
>IKD shmups
>good
Go play Mars Matrix.
>>3313671
Bullet reflection is dumb.
Wolfenstein 3D
>>3314050
Git gud.
>>3314073
I do in good games.
This game is amazing
>>3314119
Cool graphics. That's some damn fine box art too.
>>3314050
MM is probably one of the best games to use that mechanic, though. It's not Radirgy or something.
>>3314115
Post your scores.
>>3314203
Scoring is autistic, even more so in a shitty game like MM that you can counterstop.
>>3314232
Dreamcast version fixes the counterstop.
>shmups that don't have infinite loops
![turbofrc[1].png](https://i.imgur.com/vfqSPdS.png "turbofrc[1].png")
Playing Turbo Force and Carrier Air wing.
Fun stuff.
>>3310863
Indie games are fucking garbage. I despise the people that create that trash.
Downloading Darius Burst and Raiden IV off Steam right now. It's been a long wait, but I'm super pumped to finally start playing tonight!
>>3314445
Even the ones that are similar to retro games?
I've been playing DeltaZeal/G-Stream a lot today. Turning the enemy shots into score items with the gravity bomb is so damn cool and satisfying.
raiden fighters jet, come at me fegs
and yes i know this isno where nearworld-class but post a higher score if you got it
How was PCE shmups?
>>3310863
OH GRACIOUS INDIE WARRIORS,
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING ME JOY IN MY OTHERWISE DREARY EXSISTANCE.
are you an indie developer with a shit game?
Shumps are too niche and dead to make a general out of tbqh.
Plus the fanbase is autismal as fuck.
>>3318724
>plus the fanbase is autismal as fuck
That's mostly bullethell fans.
hey guys ... listen i got a problem.
i need to find one Shmup for the Amiga 500.
It had Ship Customization, It was a Space Shooter and it was not R-Type. I was a really really small child when i played it on my Big Brothers Amiga 500. He cant remember the name of it. I only can remember one of the enemys .. it was in one greenish weird level .. a it was a Face on a rectangle ..
>>3317382
Good
Who /hotdogstorm/ here?
