Raiden 3 Angst

Post by radiant silvergun »

I've been waiting for this game since playing Raiden 2 extensively with the release of Raiden Project for the PS. That was oh... back in 1994.

That is all.

Yeah, it's awesome we're getting a sequel to a shooter which was released 11 years ago, 15 if you count the first game. We are living in a renewed golden age of shooter releases with Cave leading the charge (not to mention they most like have former Raizing staff now) and others like Seibu coming back from the grave...words too many words. It's just a great time to be a shmup fan.

It should come to PS2, can't recall where i read it though. It seems that most of the type X shmups are thought with at least one port in mind :?
Chomsky, Buckminster Fuller, Yunus and Glass would have played Battle Garegga, for sure.

i expect a PS2 port since taito, the games publisher, hates every other console. in the long (financial) run it does make sense i guess, but it still burns me. now i'll have to drop the cash on a goddamned PS2 to play this game, damn you taito!

Taito seems to have a knack for ensuring any arcade title it puts out gets a home version lately. I'm betting on Homura showing up, probably sooner than we expect if Psyvariar 2 is an indication.

By that logic, too bad they aren't publishing Cave's arcade stuff- if that were so then we may have seen Ketsui hit PS2 as well as a Feveron/Guwange/Esprade pack.
Kinect? KIN NOT.

You dont need to buy a PS2...just buy the Taito X kit.

RAIDEN 3.

10 freakin' years, I've been waiting. I'd rank this game along with the movies Terminator 3 and Alien vs. Predator as the top three things I've been waiting forever for. T3 and AvP came to light. Now, RAIDEN 3.

Give me!

Is the "GunDog" (aka RaidenFighters) series so different that you can't call them sequels? I'm just asking without irony, as I never played a Raiden Fighter game.

Raiden 3 on the PS2 may seriously push this console (if you consider it in conjunction with all the ps1 games) up to the very top of my shmuppy console list...never mind dragon blaze, all the cave games, etc. etc.

HA, i may be a devoted sony hater, but i'm also a poor bastard.

i'd love to get my hands on a type-x kit though. what sort of hookup does it use? it's not JAMMA compatible, it doesn't need to be, right? just plug a VGA (?) monitor and a few USB joysticks in and you're good to go. or am i misunderstanding things?

It been such a long time since the last post I did in the forums. Well I'm back.

I hope that Raiden III will come out in the States, I have my hopes up.
