Questions about Thunder Force III

[Kiken]

Cool semi-related fact: Hyakutaro Tsukumo (that guy that did some of the Technosoft OSTs) remixed the stage6 music "Rose Garden" for The Lunatic: Ibara Remix Tracks. No wonder I get Technosoft vibes when it starts playing on my iPod. ^_^

Actually, he and WASi303 (the Psyvariar composer) are becoming regulars on the soundtrack CDs included with INH super-play DVDs. The two of them seem to do 2 or 3 arranged tracks per disc.

IIRC there are a handful of TF3 (and other TFs) arranged tracks on the CD that comes with the TFV "special pack."

That would be the OST listed as "Technosoft Game Music Collection 15: Best Of Thunder Force". Which is unusual, as there is no TGMC 13 or 14.

Um, yes there was...

Whoo, no wonder. I've never heard of those.
I stand corrected.

Hmmm, nice. More Hyakutaro Tsukumo is always good, he has a great sound and style that carries over from his Technosoft work, and is instantly recognisable. I thought I was listening to one of the Technosoft OSTs when "Rose Garden" came on, before it started to kick in and I recognised it as an Ibara track.

I wish Technosoft and the Thunder Force series make a reappearance right about now. All this chat of Technosoft, TF and the OSTs is making me nostalgic. ;_;

(Doesn't help when you're listening to Broken Thunder, Absolute Area and Lost Technology on a combined playlist...)

That, my friend, would be a dream come true. And you never know! Maybe they're secretly working on something new as we speak. There's still hope!

The only problem is, anyone that's had anything to do with the TF series is basically gone. Working Designs is dead, Technosoft's been AWOL for years, and only an unproven rumor about Technosoft hiring new people has surfaced... and that was quite a while ago. And Sega? Well, I doubt a Lightening Force II is ever going to happen with them.

As much as I'd like to see a TF VI, I doubt we'll ever see it unless that Thunder Force Forever project gets renamed.

Well dicking around one day, I saw this on Japanese wikipedia:

サンダーフォースVI

* 2007年発売予定 - Windows

雑音工房にて製作されていたサンダーフォースVIが頓挫した後、Factory Noise&AGから同人流通音楽CDとして発売されたブロークン・サンダー・プロジェクト・サンダーフォースVI。名前にサンダーフォースVIの名前があることから分かる通り、今後発売予定のブロークン・サンダー・プロジェクト・サンダーフォースVIのサウンドトラックCDという形式になっている。

ライナーノーツには、長崎繁が「来年にはゲーム本編もお手元に」と言及しているので、発売は2007年となると予想される。

今回はFIRE LEO-03 STYX、FIRE LEO-04 RYNEX、RVR-01 Gauntlet EX-CUSTOM、RVR-02 Vambrace CUSTOMの4機が登場。前者2機はパイロットと共にナビゲーターが搭乗、後者2機はパイロットのみ搭乗する。因みに、RVR-02には前作主人公のセネスが搭乗している。前作と死亡回数が同じため、Vの後救助されたと考えられる。



If that means what I think it does, than it indicates that no matter how bleak things looks for it, the possibility of Thunder Force VI being a reality never seems to outright die.
