1200pts is too much for R-Type Generations.

sorry, THE is my game to hate on.... I don't really hate on to much on here. This is my one scape goat. I deffinately deal out more love than hate on here though.

still though... THE is my favorite game to hate. Maybe I should gibe it another spin though.

Anyone else get a free suction cup thingy and some dice with elvis hair gum that has a sticker entitling "with our compliments..." I don't want to open the suction cup thingy, but i can't see what exactly is inside, it's taunting the hell out of me right now. As for the gum that's dice shaped and has elvis hair...wtf. I'm not even sure if it's gum. One of it's ingredients is "bacteria Beverage."

post pics of these gum dice please.

i got the suction cup thing, it just blows up into a balloon. picture what you have as is in the plastic inflated, that's all it is.

Do the technical issues ruin this game, or is it still worthwhile for somebody who doesn't have a DC or 360?

They don't ruin the game per se... they make certain aspects easier, some harder and others just rather annoying/awkward. Granted, I can't stand being forced to play Story Mode in yoko format, but I suppose if you have a large enough TV, it can offset that.

The art assets, animated intro and new selectable character are appreciated... but it looks like the focus was on enhancing aspects that don't actually have anything to do with the game itself.

Got this yesterday. I can't tell quite what they did with the scoring system yet. Playing irresponsibly I had 66m at the end of stage 1 in Story Mode. The PS2's laser clocked out before I could finish an entire round, though.

Judging by the music and textures, it feels somewhat like a backport of the X360 version. Just uglier and with copious amounts of slowdown. With a new character and extra modes to "consolize" it more. Oh yeah, and the extra art, voice and animation that apparently adds so much to the price.

So far, from my initial impressions, I'd still rate the DC/NAOMI version my favorite in terms of gameplay.

^^^I agree, in terms of arcade mode alone the DC version is the superior port. If you enjoy all the bells and whistles than the PS2 version is nice to have.

Larger does not meant better if you get a LCD HDTV. You have to run PS2 through component and upscalers to make everything look ok because interlace looks like utter shit on my Sharp 37DH65E

This game is great! Despite the slowdown and damaging gameplay aspects not present in the previous versions which can be found for cheaper, the anime cutscene ending was totally worth it.

Why aren't you running the game in progressive?

Strider77 · Post by **Strider77** » Wed Apr 01, 2009 9:57 pm

you can't run it in progressive as far as the PS2 port goes.... can you?

I stated that the game supported progressive scan at least a page ago.

So anime cutscene upgrades on a faulty port are worth $90-100?

Elixir wrote:Yes, because it's a smart idea to spend $72.90 USD for something that looks like a shmup minigame compilation. I'd rather buy a Japanese visual novel for the same price because I'd probably get more enjoyment out of it and it would definitely last longer. Do you not see the problem here? And before you say "I'm just cheap", remember that I own arcade boards and I've imported every shmup for the 360 so far, including Otomedius G which was seriously not worth the price, and Raiden IV which I played about three times.

I think you should dig a little deeper into my previous response.

Blade · Post by **Blade** » Fri Apr 03, 2009 9:52 pm

So okay, people are either loving it or hating it. I want the PS2 version, so is it worth the buy?

bucklemyshoe · Post by **bucklemyshoe** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 4:54 am

i would say it's only worth the buy if you absolutely love the characters or the game itself. it's more of a collectible than anything else.

anyway, does anyone have the week 1 sales? i'm curious.

originalz · Post by **originalz** » Sun Apr 05, 2009 12:02 pm

9,400 first week

Elixir · Post by **Elixir** » Tue Apr 07, 2009 5:28 am

Horrible port. If you've played the game on DC or 360, you'll notice why. The newer character moves incredibly fast (think Abnormal Reko in Futari) but she comes to a halt when stuff comes on the screen.

There's slowdown in every single stange, too. Basically whenever there's items on the screen the slowdown will be present. It's nice to actually use my custom stick on a new release, but I'd much rather use a 360 controller than have to suffer with this amount of slowdown. The PS2 port is unplayable.

'd recommend the 360 or DC versions over this any day of the week.

How the hell do you run it in progressive mode? There's no option like that in Display Settings >>

Hold X and Triangle as the game is booting up.

I already played this, and it's like the XBLA Version with more improvements, i liked it more than the DC Version.

BTW, i runned the PS2 game in my PC and i found the Story Mode CG's are BIN Files, how i can turn them into JPG or PNG?

Kron · Post by **Kron** » Tue Apr 14, 2009 8:09 am

Its an inferior port to the DC version in pretty much every way plus it doesn't have the arrange mode.
