That's a pretty elaborate hoax.

This is like the first new non mobile Japanese shmup in like 7 years

Fucking hold me anons, I only ever asked for a sequel as wishful thinking, I never thought this day would come but it's actually really truly real what the FUCK R-Type Final is my favorite game in the whole series followed closely by OBC WE ARE IN THE BEST TIMELINE, RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW

I'm not sure if got the info right, is this game remastering old stages from previous games?

I regret not getting Like says, I didn't know there would be such a long rail shooter drought.

Oh shit, now I want to dig through my storage crates looking for my copy of R-Type Final. Too bad my original PS2 passed through the gates of Valhalla long ago.

what is a going to take to force Square Enix to acknowledge Einhander as well?

As long as they bring back the Leo and don't fuck it up like Final did, I'll be happy.

If this isn't a very elaborate joke then they're just going to fuck up again. They can't design levels properly if they have 100 playable craft. It doesn't work. Cut it down to like 5 and design the levels around them and you'll have a good game.

I cannot reccomend it enough, emulate, buy it pirate it I don't care how but you need to try this game. I'm still in shock right now. I've been co-oping this game with my baby brother for over a decade. I can't freaking beleive it actually happened. I want to shake the hands of the absolute madmen responsible for this. I'm going to be fucking pissed if I wake up from this.

Attached: 20190401_234503_HDR.jpg (4160x3120, 3.78M)

By co-op of course I mean try and die then pass the controller. Just wanted to clarify.

They acknowledge it all the time, most recently, it was a random boss in World of final Fantasy, and also there's a bird boss in FFXIV that grabs random discarded weapons from destroyed robots named Einhander.

I guess the standard on the leader boards will not only be how many points you get, but also what low tier space ships you used for bragging rights.

It sounds like developers are trying to desperately green light a new game as well, or they wouldn't make those nods.

Eh, you're better off just playing R-Type II. Super will push your shit in, but not in a fun way.

This, but I wouldn't mind a new game.
I just got into RType fairly heavily this year.

Super R-Type is balls hard. No fucking checkpoints in the levels. If you die just once even at the boss, you start all the way back to the start of the level.

Super is a port of R-Type 2 with some extra content such as new levels.

how the fuck is it "FINAL" if it's 2?
stupid fucking Japs

ok

It says that there are new levels exclusive to Super. Are there any ports of II that include these, or are they locked to Super?

twitter.com/kazuma_kujo/status/1112709104923873280

So R-Type's story is

>Mankind makes thing in the future
>Thing gains sentience and gets sent into the past
>Thing starts fucking up everything so the R9 is made to fuck thing's shit up

Sounds about right?

There's some time traveling malarkey in R-Type Final, I think it follows on from there. If I recall correctly after you destroy the main Bydo in the past, you and your ship is stranded with the force pod which is an infant Bydo which then matures. It's been a long so don't count me on that info.

well if there's an explanation that's fine

"No! I must kill the Bydo," he shouted!
The radio said "No, John. You are the Bydo."
And then, John was a Bydo.

You guys think the Vic Viper could fuck the Bydo up?

I never liked R-Type Final. Delta was so kino and comfy but Final starts off on some weird context I have no idea about and the first level is not very inviting or well paced at all. I really like the idea of having a hundred ships or whatever but too bad I'll never get to play them.

Are they doing anything at all with Darius? Didn't DBCS do well?

Taito made Darius Cosmic Collection for the Switch, but they got jew-y with it.

>turns into a horro game halfway through
delta was fucking kino

R-Type Final is a bit of a bore fest compared to the previous games, there's a lot of flying around doing nothing moments.

same for r-type 3 but no one complains about that

R-Type always kinda had a space horror vibe.

we'll have to see which ending they go with

Final Fantasy X-2

R-Type III is a mixed bag because half it's levels are excellent while the other half are dull with one level in particular being fucking complete bullshit. R-Type Final is just a bore most of the time.

This is Final Fantasy X-2 all over again! Either way i'm happy for more R-type in general.

Shmups are too niche for that to even happen, even more niche than the already niche fighting game genre (though I have to admit I'm impressed that the R-Type Final 2 trailer has gotten decent attention so far).

It's called Strikers 1945!

Considering Final B ending, its horrifying that you don't realize that you become a Bydo without you realizing it. Damb Tactics really puts it there.

Delta tier horror. Stage 5 looks like a graveyard of sorts submerged in a yellow water or some strange liquid and 6 is full of exploding gibs that can scare someone not used to it.
Oh and more lore in R Museum.

hello yes you fucked my image

Kek get drafted

There are hundreds of 2 player shmups.

Hopefully they will fix the broken scoring system this time. 40 minutes boss milking was not really fun.

So what do you guys think of R-Type DX? It was my first R-Type game, and I haven't played it since I was a child. Is it worth another go?

I did. 2 player mode is literally what you aksed for dumbfuck.

No dumbass, the conversation is on about a vs shmup game where long time fan rivalries can be put to rest.

You can play 2 player shmups as versus modes tho you fucking retard.
What you are asking for is simply an online mode, which is fucking gay and only casuals want this.

shmup with fuckloads of ships

I'm not generally much of a shoot'em up fan, but I do like the R-Type games. I'm glad the series isn't dead.

Superior stage coming through

So, uh... Is it just me, or would Star Trek make a great shmup? There's a fuckton of ships large and small, they can go super fast and they shoot lasers and shit.

Attached: Enterprise.jpg (580x300, 34K)

It's not like those 101 ships acted all that differently from each other. Hell, despite the large number of ships there's only like 5 delta attacks in Final. A lot of the other shit may look a little different cosmetically but functionally they're pretty much the same.

Woah, it's almost like the crowdfunding they mentioned is from a seperate R-Type project unrelated to R-Type Final 2. Assuming you had any reading comprehension, of course. Which you don't.

Attached: 1552982111922.png (303x291, 9K)

There's an LP of the series where the guy dates every game and goes over a bit of the lore before and after each game.

It's very good but still overrated by the western shmups community. They act like it was so original and innovative when it actually just ripped off gun frontier.

The Vic Viper can time travel.

Anyone played this? I'm tempted to since it looks like a mash of Change Air Blade and Twinkle Star Sprites mechanics.

I unlocked every ship and about every 5th ship plays very differently while the rest is more or less just filler.

It's also more noticable if you play on harder difficulties of course where every action matters more.

I rarely go there because i prefer to enjoy my shmups in a non autistic way aka not 1CC all of them

It's hard to pick just one, it's something about their general appearance.
I have a soft spot for the original Arrowhead, but that's because it was usually depicted in the softer, chibi-ish style of the original arcade game. Last Dancer's elegant simplicity resonated with me, too, and Wise Man of all things always brought a smile to my face.

Not him but I will definitely check it out. Surprised there isn't a switch port already, shmups have been getting ported there left right and center.

Why is the operation called 'bitter chocolate'

Well, Zanac wasn't really a hit back in the days, and Compile is a husk of their former selves now, it's no mystery it's a pretty niche game that hasn't been ported anywhere.

I don't know if it was intentional but to me the R-Type ships are like sports cars, they all look sexy as fuck.

R-Type ship designs are literally the only reason I play R-Type. I'm not even interested in shmups in the slightest

Dude calm down, we don't need even more in-fighting between SHMUP fans.

I like shmup soundtracks but I thought rtype was lacking in that regard. Especially in Command, it's really apparent there.

My main hope is that they don't do another wavy-distortion stage. That was very hard to get used to.

The Android ports are decent enough, and they also have controller support if you have a Bluetooth pad. The touch controls are the "You finger is the ship" kind, so it's nice and does what you want to do.

Are you implying any other even comes close to matching its popularity? For sidescrollers we have Gradius, Parodius, Salamander, Thunder Force and plenty more all sharing the spotlight. For topdowns we have 2HU, that one where you play as a ninja or dolphin, 2HU, 2HU, Xenon, Silver Surfer and 2HU.

They're not even similar except for "dodge things or OHOK". Does Contra qualify too?

Did they take out the speed powerups? Or does the ship follow your finger slowly?

Trying too hard

The speed-ups out. I can understand not everyone likes that aspect, but I don't think anyone's found a workable solution for the speed issue while allowing the needed control for a shmup.

How to fix the slowdown lag of R-Type Final with the PS2 emulator?

future humanity accidentally crafts a super bioweapon they couldn't control, creating a human sub-species called the bydo, and banish them to another dimension. the bydo come back as an empire over and over because as a species they cannot ever think positively as all the evils and violent instincts made manifest for millennia, hellbent on assimilating everything in their path. the r-type fighters are armed with force pods, which are larval bydo harnessed as weapons, and a number of the fighters themselves are body horror territory, like one that uses the amputated bodies of pilots as a drive for the CPU.

literally fighting bydo with bydo, which fucks over at least a couple protagonists in this series as they themselves get turned into bydo.

Have a good pc. Slowdown is what mainly ruined Final.

>Can someone explain the lore behind rtype?
Humans in the future made a hideous creature called the Bydo that was meant to be a weapon to end all their wars, but being a super evil bioweapon it fucked everything up, then went back in time to fuck things up even earlier. You play as humanity trying to unfuck shit.
>What's the deal with the balls the ships fly with?
The force pods are weapons built from Bydo tissue, which when struck with energy will produce different types of beams.
>What's the deal with the cockpits looking like they do?
Shit's bitchin'

Slowdowns are part of the shump experience you dumbass

>What's the deal with the cockpits looking like they do?
R-Type art was heavily inspired by HR Giger. The cockpits look a bit like an alien head.

>Shit's bitchin'

Which is the point.

With this most likely being a smaller budget game hopefully that means they won't be able to get any license shit for the sound track like the first Final game. What the fuck were they thinking?

Gotta love all dat SCIENCE.

>What's the deal with the cockpits looking like they do?

They're interchangeable and pop right in and out. The ships die in one hit anyway, they are fully aware of this in universe, so they don't bother trying to put it at the center of the craft where it would be the most heavily armored. A few lore entries in Final mention all of this. Apparently switching cockpits like this is a faster way of getting the right pilot to the right ship than having them get out and go on foot to their ship.

I hope you have fun with your credit feeding experience, faggot.
Learn to enjoy the genre properly and suddenly it becomes more fun.

>Can someone explain the lore behind rtype?
Humanity created the Bydo, they never outright said why but it is implied it was because they were at war with another alien species.
Humanity then decide to seal the Bydo in another dimension, it pisses them off, manage to break out and go back in time to destroy humanity.
Bydo are fucking bad news because they are literally space cancer that can infect and turn into Bydo everything organical or mechanical AND they have mastered time travelling AND dimension tunneling.
And people corrupted by them do not even realize they were corrupted in the first place.

>What's the deal with the balls the ships fly with?
They are made of Bydo and are the most effective way to fight Bydo.
It is also implied that Humanity will make and use refined version of Bydo-based weapons until they end up creating the Bydo... which is how everything started.

>What's the deal with the cockpits looking like they do?
They took the word cockpit literally.

"The Bydo are a man-made nightmare.

Bydo take over that big computer that's the end boss. That's why the events of Leo happen in the first place.

The voice recording are interesting. Is it the recordings of the player's pilot or someone else? If its the former's case then did they recover the ship in the bydo abyss then?

By rewriting the fucked up future of humanity where they need to create the incarnation of evil itself.

What shmups have the best lore? The Donpachi series has a pretty interesting setup

>Is it the recordings of the player's pilot or someone else?

They usually say who the quote is by in game. Though I believe most of them are arbitrated to "Recovered Black Box" with no mention of how or when it was recovered. For all we know it could be recovered centuries after the conflict in a Bydo free future or it could be recovered by the Bydo themselves. It's left open for anything like that.

Yeah whatever, I just can't understand how somebody can find credit feeding enjoyable.
It's literally the same as cheating.

For most people playing a shmup for maximum 30 minutes in total is "the right way to play these games".

It's not cheating if it's to your detriment in terms of your wallet. Unless you're on free play, but at that point it's for the fun of it, not the challenge.

Jesus I don't want to. Bydo ships getting the Otomedius treatment, it just makes things more horrifying.

You don't put coins in a game console. And the fun is in learning the game, and getting rewarded by that. Dying 20 times in your run is just not as much fun as being able to 1cc and achieving that is not that hard especially on newer shmups if you strategize.

None of them.

>Otomedius
Don't remind me. I'm still mad that shit killed all of Konami's shmup franchises.

>*screams internally as your last vestige of humanity is getting corrupted*
And then you turned into a blob of flesh.

>I wish MSA wasn't mobileshit because I actually like some of the designs
I think the same.
Some of the girls got official merch btw, so they probably plan on integrating them in the lore in the next game... maybe.

>that shit killed all of Konami's shmup franchises
But otomedius was very successfull in japan for a shmup

If you want to think 1cc is what everyone should play and strive for then sure, whatever. You do you. But some people want to have fun, and quitting a game to start from stage 1 over and over until you master everything so you never die again isn't exactly what most do. Mastery comes from playing everything until you've refined yourself to play it all, and bitching about people using continues is like bitching that someone's not assembling a lego set like the box.

If a person likes a game, they'll get better at it. If they don't like the game, they won't. Using continues doesn't "negate that", that's just a way of playing like any other. And if they like the game, they'll continue all they want, get better and eventually maybe not need continues at all.

R-type was the only shmup I can honestly say I'm a fan of. Good to know IREM somehow recovered from the tsunami. Shame they lost the entirety of Steambot Chronicles 2 during it. It was my most anticipated game when it was still in production.

Only the first 2 games are must play, first one is extremely flawed, the second one is all around solid. Delta's ok but is held back by hardware, slow pace and length, Leo is a pretty good spinoff.

True in theory, doesn't work like that in practice. Do not neglect the impact player psychology has on play. Most players need stakes and punishment that don't feel completely arbitrary, that's what makes games engaging. It's more likely that credit feeders will get bored and stop playing because of a lack of challenge and structure, not that they'll keep at it and get better. There needs to be a reason to improve, otherwise players won't which is why you can have players that credit feed for dozens of hours, never getting even a basic 1-ALL. It's not because they lack the skills or intellect, it's because they lack the right mindset.

That sounds like a great name for a ship, honestly.

>the finale fighter
>looks like shit
they should have stopped with curtain call desu

Yeah that's what I'm saying too, it's a dumb system that doesn't fit shmups. The logical thing would be to do the opposite, giving you credits but then taking them away as you hit certain thresholds and prove you don't need them, but then players would get pissed and feel like they're being "punished" by the game taking away the training wheels.

>but then players would get pissed and feel like they're being "punished" by the game taking away the training wheels.

And that's why Eschatos got it right,unless you are a masochist of course.

1cc means not getting game overs

R-Type 3 fans everybody

It fits shmups perfectly, you're just a cuck who misses the whole point of games like this.

You sound like the type of person that shits on God Hand's rank system and says it punishes you for getting better, not seeing that it does the opposite and rewards you by respecting you as a player and presenting you with a bigger challenge.

And the opposite of that so called masochist is called "being shit at the game".

And what's the point according to you, grinding until you get enough credits to """beat""" a game instead of improving and going for a 1 credit clear and high scores?

Not having that challenge as the default is a mistake

The shmups equivalent would be forcing 1cc's, which is fine by me but the Eschatos fans would complain.

Am i really shit for beating it with what the game gave me by the default?

rytpe delta was the shit in ps1 times

>vg shmup
Those guys are faggots obsessing over streamers and Youtubers and jerking off over Battle Garegga

This is fucking false. Tactics and Bitter Chocolate are confirmed to be prequels to R-Type Final. Ending 1 leads to the end of the Bydo in the present, as Earth finally figures out you shouldn't launch an infant Bydo into the core to destroy the old one, because that one will just regrow. So you destroy your own force AND the core this time around, but this leads to your own death.

Several of its regulars are in the top of the leaderboards for R-Type Dimensions

How would this even work? Scoring systems are vastly different across the games. Aircraft abilities are also incredibly different across games. What about games that have multiple iconic aircraft like Gigawing or stuff like touhou? How do you handle powerups like for raiden? What about games that have no power ups like ikaruga? What about games with an inbetween level buy system like tyrian, raptor, stargunner?

I dunno how about balancing them? It's not like abilities and scoring systems need to be represented 1:1. Dariusburst CS has a bunch of guest ships that change how the game is scored, Psyvariar Delta has the Cybattler mode.

R-Type Dimensions sold well on Steam for a shmup
It's one of the most popular shmup names, it's just that shmups themselves aren't popular

megaman 11 :^)
RUN COWARD
RUN RUN RUN
How would you even make a new sinistar game?

IREM died

Dimensions is on Steam

>an inbetween level buy system

Lords of Thunder is the only good shmup with that system in place

Superior non yellow shit covered PAL version, coming through

>real shmups like Jamestown

So why aren't they considering a PC version of Final 2 for steam?

Fantasy Zone and Caladrius Blaze did it fine too, it tends to be fine in jap arcade shmups because they know how to design games unlike brain damaged westies

Don't ask me

>HOPES/THOUGHTS/DREAMS GET THE FUCK IN HERE
PC or fuck off

ikaruga is a top down.
raiden is a top down.
gigawing is top down.
tons of "western" shmups are top down but you don't like those do you...?

Fantasy Zone had a shop inside the levels you are in,like it happens in Magical Chase and Ordyne.

Please give me Delta on Switch.

probably because no one knows dimensions is on steam

i didn't even know until this thread. the japanese are legitimately awful at marketing shmups.

I just want an R-Type 3 remake. That was the first game in the series I played. If I can get that I'll be a happy man

>implying marketing is the issue
Shmups also lack the so-called free marketing of word of mouth, YT videos and such due to people not caring for that style of play these days

Forgot about UN Squadron

I would have at least liked a Switch version. Fucking hell Irem, I used to buy all of your games back in the day. Just give me another chance and I'll do it

Never mind not caring most aren't even aware of it to begin with. The basic idea of playing for 1cc's and score has to be spread via word of mouth.

i fucking hate 2hus and the whole weeb shit of being a flying girl in a shmup.

give me a ship like ikaruga,einhander, r-types, gradius and its so much better.

tfw no einhander 2 ;___;

Based touhou hater

>screencapping a furry
you screencapped your own kotaku post, didn't you?
yiff in hell furfag

Thats right baby drink it all in.

Didn't this beefy path blocker get a figma?

Pretty much. I was certainly surprised when I heard Woolie and Dunkey even mentioning ZeroRanger. You can cry and whine about e-celebs all you wish, but they really are a great way of getting a game's name out to the public.

SHMUPs often don't get this perk of Youtube culture: The only people watching Bullet Heaven are already interested in SHMUPs.

Thunder Force IV is my favorite shmup. How based am I?

I forgot this came out. Shit I probably missed the boat on getting my own Dobby.

Also, this is great news. It sounds like a new game instead of a remake, and I am hopeful about the possibility of adding new levels as DLC over time instead of praying for the publisher to greenlight a sequel. If they can keep the fundamentals of Final and cut down on the dead air you could have a really great shooter (like the best levels of Final: 2, 4, 6 come to mind).

>SHMUPs often don't get this perk of Youtube culture
There are a shitton of shmup players on youtube. The average gamer is just a dumbfuck and has no interest in shmups.

pretty low tier

exactly

Everytime I see this thing. It makes me think that its very existence is pain.

b-but it’s fun

Hell yeah, motherfucker

It's not a bad game, just goes to show that you probably haven't played very many

Reflex kinda lets you do that.

I haven’t. I grew up playing it on Genesis with the 99 lives cheat. I do own R-Type Final and a few other shmups. I just don’t have a PS2 anymore with which to play said R Type Final on. Guess I should get a ps2.

Please! Not again, I just got done piloting you!
