RQ: Viewpoint replay

Post by Lightforce »

Does any one know of a replay video for this game? I can't find anything. Such a great game is deserving of one. I feel that watching videos of memorization type shmups (Pulstar, Last Resort) helps a lot.

Here is one replay by HAS.jp:

There is at least one VHS replay out there as well. It appears for sale on yahoo.jp auctions from time to time.

its a pity 'sebleger' some french guy who used to post at ng.com never hosted his realplayer format replay somewhere - it was pretty poor quality but a 1LC . amazing stuff.

I've got a video of the whole thing somewhere. I'm sure I'll come across it one day. Pretty amazing.

How hard is this game really compared to popular hard games like Tatsujin Oh or some more "regular" hard ones like R-Type 2?

Here you go, there's a Japanese community STG wiki that has a general ranking of difficulty by game. It's good for a general reference of approximately how hard a game is, even if not everyone agrees on exact ranking: viewtopic.php?f=1&t=56114

Viewpoint's listed as being at 14 on the list. I haven't cleared Viewpoint or any of the games also ranked at 14, but I've cleared several of the games at 15 and 13. It won't be a trivial clear by any means, but it's not going to be wildly difficult or anything either.

Cool, thanks.
But Same Same Same with auto fire it 14 as well. Doesn't this one count as a reeaally hard game? And Muchi muchi pork is as hard as same^3 without autofire?!? Dind't know that O.o And Ikaruga is on 21? Could this be? Ok, R-Type 1 is on 18 and Mushihimesama on 15... Akai Katana on 13, I've done that! it wasn't so hard compared to for instance Truxton on MD... I've thought Viewpoint is so extrem? Ok, in later posts some argue, it should be on 20-25, wich would be another world, when you put Tatsujin on 13 O.o Really don't know about the list :D Akai Katana cannot be as hard as Tatsujin
