Wow... Re: TFVI Opening Movie

velocity7 · Post by **velocity7** » Mon May 09, 2005 2:09 am

Yes, I have found the fabled TFVI Opening Movie. It's about 12 MB, MPEG. If anyone has a place for me to upload this, let me know A.S.A.P. before I lose it forever.

Also to note, it mentions "Dreamcast OP" as well as the name "Motohiko Komaba" being the director of the movie. The movie was previewed on 10.16.2000. If anyone can find out what happened to Motohiko Komaba, that would be great.

Also to note that the movie confirms that the Syrinx used in the Thunder Future project is definitely the one and same as the one from Thunder Force VI for those who are skeptical (even though this is a fan project, after all).

Yes! I would love to post this on my site in the Thunder Force feature! Please let me know if that's cool.

I almost don't want to see it, a bit depressing to see what could have been. *-neo

Not sure if Technosoft's TFVI project had ever gotten so far into production phase to warrant the creation of FMV at the time... We have to rule out the possibility of it being an FMV clip leaked from the Thunder Future project or another old-ish fan WIP just put together for fun.

Anyway post a link

Heh.

Well anyways, Meff has it now, he'll upload it to his website soon (hopefully).

It's up!

It is indeed the real deal, as I remember downloading that same video from a Japanese site about a year and a half ago.

Thanks for sharing velocity!

That movie certainly looks nice. Hope it gets the full official release it deserves.

Now there's a game that could've been...

alpha5099 · Post by **alpha5099** » Mon May 09, 2005 2:26 pm

Did anyone else have this awful ear-splintering sound at the beginning of the TFVI video? During the intro screen. Was it just me?

Otherwise, great stuff, looks very ThunderForce-ish. Too bad it never was.

Melf · Post by **Melf** » Mon May 09, 2005 2:43 pm

That sound is part of the video.

Sorry!

The entire soundtrack was done, and this video seems pretty legit. I'd wager they were maybe somewhere around 25-30% when it was canned.

I doubt the video is from Thunder Future, as they would have undoubtedly posted it on their site. This video is almost 2 years old, as well.

This video is really great, thanks guys!

I like how the ship changes right at the end of the video, maybe that was part of the gameplay? It's too bad there wasn't any gameplay footage, but I can't complain.

2 years? More like 5.

That clip is great, and the soundtrack sounds bad ass.

I pray for it's arrival.

I'm listening to the MP3 from Melf's site right now. Typical TechnoSoft greatness.

*goes off to play Dragon's Fury with the TF3 music*

I knew I had heard that MP3 before... it's one of SSH's game music remixes:

Actually, no. They remixed the "Broken Thunder" track from the "Broken Thunder" soundtrack (please differentiate here). The opening movie uses a different track.

I know, I was talking about the MP3 linked below the video.

Oh!

The "Cancelled DC games" list surprises me and stomps on my heart, yet again. It's funny how I'll think that I've heard them all, and then another game will surface or I'll realize that I know what some previously-transparent title was, and how much of a bummer it is that things didn't go very smoothly...

::scans list again::

... Shienryu 2 as well, hmm? Poop.

Edit: (Yes, I just read the piece on Shienryu Explosion. At least it came out, sort of?)

dai jou bu · Post by **dai jou bu** » Thu May 12, 2005 6:41 am

The ship models and graphics remind me of Trizeal's CG cover for the DC jacket. That's... interesting.

And I want this game to be released on the Dreamcast too.

Edit: On the second viewing, those ships that the Vambrance-esque craft was fighting look like those are the TF3 ships. Does that mean Earth somehow salvaged some Vasteel tech and had contact with the original creators of the ship?

ST Dragon · Post by **ST Dragon** » Thu May 12, 2005 2:25 pm

They should make TFVI for the PS-2.

I'd be happy to hear about it being finished ("made"?) for any platform, but I think that a NAOMI arcade release could be a great restart.

Then again, maybe they could get some funding from somewhere and release it for PS2?

... Still. Tecnosoft. Sega. NAOMI. DC.

http://www.tecnosoft.com/ is their site, right? It looks like the index.html file was last modified on 2003-10-23. That's a lengthy "temporary."

What's the difference between Cotton 100% and Cotton original on the PS-1?
I have Cotton originalfor the PS-1 & its a port of Cotton Fantastic Night Dreams from the Arcades/PCE DUO & X68000. But what about Cotton 100%?

dave4shmups · Post by **dave4shmups** » Sun May 15, 2005 6:03 pm

Cotton 100% is very similar; you build up experience to power-up, and you have your fairy "options"; the main difference is that the graphics are even better.

If you like Cotton original on the PS1, then DEFINATELY pick up 100%. Two of the best hori's ever made, IMO.

I hate to be a party pooper, but I don't see TF VI getting any release, seeing as how Technosoft isn't around anymore, AFIK. And if another company were interested in picking it up, I would think they would have done sometime in the past 5 or so years since this video.

Not that I care (that much) anymore, but I've seen talk recently of Technosoft doing something/being around in 2006 (?). Something strange like that. Also, TF6 was never made. The only thing completed was the soundtrack.
