My preorder for the physical version of the Cozmic Collection Arcade arrived recently and I am really enjoying it so far. My previous Darius experience was mainly the Saturn version of Garden - this is a great port of that and the versions of Darius and Sagaia are great as well. The games are as well ported and about as full featured as the M2 shottriggers ports and I paid a more for ESP Ra de and that was just for one game. The pixel perfect display for the original Darius is crazy enough to make this well worth while. So I would say well worth it for the enthusiast. Strictly limited have just announced they are bringing the Space Invaders Invincible Collection to the West as well which is great news.

Wow I looked up some footage of space invaders 95 and I gotta say that looks quite charming and unique. It's definitely a big loss that the collection doesn't have that.

Space Invaders 95 runs on Taito F3 which is fairly difficult to emulate - it's the same hardware as Darius Gaiden, which was completely hosed on that recent Darius collection when it first launched. They're not going to talk about a digital release until the limited versions are sold and shipped, they're lame like that.

Ofecks posted:You can currently dial-in reasonably accurate speeds in MAME for games on that hardware using blitter and CPU speed sliders. Each game is different. you can but for whatever inscrutable reason its not up to m2s standards. messing with the cpu speed and blitter works great if youre playing on mame at home but theyve always been explicit they want ~the most accurate port possible~ and using those can also introduce inaccuracies. i think its really stupid but the ports are good and help keep interest up so it could be worse. hopefully sometime in the future we do get pc ports because consoles have an inherent lifetime attached that really only kicks the can down the road rather than fixes the issue of availability.

I believe M2 have mentioned that the engine they use for their ShotTriggers games has some weird speed issues on Windows 10 that they need to fix... that was mentioned a few years ago, but given that PC gaming isn't a huge deal in Japan I doubt there's been much in the way of momentum to change that.

M2's primarily concerned with input lag, not slowdown - they put a lot of effort into keeping it down but the techniques they use on consoles and Windows 7 don't work to the same extent on Windows 10. That said, I think they're just not big enough to handle more than a couple versions at once on their own money.bees x1000 posted:Uh is this the same Another Chronicle as in DBCS?

Yeah I learned my lesson with Darius. I'm just gonna wait for the digital editions because it's gonna happen anyway if they can produce it physically in the west. Gonna offload my physical Darius games on ebay and buy them digitally.

God knows DBAC already has more than enough content by itself, but it'd still be nice to have the rest of the CS content available on a portable system that isn't the Vita.

ZeroRanger updated with a fun new mode. If you don't already own the game it's really great and currently on sale. They're finally selling the soundtrack too, they were holding off because there's new music in this update.

ZeroRanger is one of my top 3 shmups and honestly one of the finest games I've ever played. Get it, and go in blind if you can. It's a trip.

I can't shill for ZeroRanger enough; I've known the people who made it for years and they're great people who, and I think this should be obvious from the game, really care about shmups. The game's great, worth all of your time to play and replay.

After playing through the Konami Arcade Collection I got for £4 I've come to the conclusion that all early Konami shumups were trash apart from Gradius 1 which didnt do much to piss me off.

gradius 1 didn't do much at all. gradius 2's decent, but I find it hard to go back to any shmups before like the snes era and with gradius specifically, anything before gaiden

I'm not a huge fan of so-called Golden Age arcade stuff, but Scramble and Super Cobra are pretty enjoyable to play, I've found. '85 was a pretty good year for shmups - Gradius, Terra Cresta, Tiger Heli were big leaps forward in terms of design.

Got my first 1cc on Gunbird 2. On lvl 1 difficulty "baby"... The step up to lvl 2 is pretty significant. I can get to the final stage on level 2 but haven't made it through. It's a fun game. I'm eyeballing Zero Ranger, Blue Revolver, and Dariusburst Chronicles in the steam sale.

ZeroRanger is worth it even on its not sale price, and it just got updated with a new mode too! its a steal. Chronicle Saviors is probably worth it just for the deep discount: that game is from what ive heard cool but not at all worth the normal price.

OK I'm stuck trying to complete the Speed Zone challenge (Clear high speed maze section in stage 4 within 45 seconds). How do I get the maze section to move faster? Do I have to also have to kill the enemies off screen?

Kagaya Homoraisan posted:ZeroRanger is worth it even on its not sale price, and it just got updated with a new mode too! its a steal. I disagree. I got it at full price and the Chronicle Saviours mode by itself was more than worth it. What's not really worth the price are the DLC ships; they look cool, sure, but tthere's barely any reason to use them. They would have gotten more money for extra missions/bosses.

There is the official shmups forum discord but I haven't set foot in there in a while. Also I forgot they made another Sengoku Aces game, I think this one was on PSP. Re: DLC for Chronicle Saviors it's cute but yeah, some of it's pretty ridiculous. The Inter-Gray (Night Striker) has a loving powerful beam attack which is fun to use but some of the stuff like Soukyugurentai feels like they didn't quite mesh the game system with Darius' system well. I really hope we find out when Ginga Force and Natsuki Chronicle hit Steam because I've been jonesing for both for a while now, especially GF because the shop system is kinda neat and as usual the music is rad as ever. Qute never stops impressing me. Zeether fucked around with this message at 00:07 on Jun 30, 2020 |

So I bought ZeroRanger during the steam sale. I fired it up and I find it brutal. Is there a beginner's guide or something to get me acquainted with the game? It's incredible cool, but I'm struggling with the claustrophobic environment of stage 2 already. And I have no idea what the different modes mean (only played main one so far).

You can start from subsequent stages and you'll be getting continues, so eventually you'll overcome it.
