What's the Closest Thing to a Raizing Horizontal?

unsane · Post by **unsane** » Mon May 04, 2009 12:08 pm

For the most part i'm a vert guy. However, i played Sengoku Blade for the first time recently and was quite surprised at how well Psikyo translates horizontally.

By the looks of it Raizing never made a horizontal. What about 8ing, Yagawa, or anyone involved with the Raizing masterpieces - have any of them ever put their magic touch on a horizontal shmup? If not, are there any horizontals reminiscent of a Raizing game?

Soukugurentai was a Raizing/8ing horizontal. Fun game too. You can always check out the world-of-arcades.com site for information about all your favorite Raizing/8ing games.

Ah - you meant horizontal scrolling. My bad.

I think the term is "damn, most of the installed cabs with this hardware platform are yoko".

Just cut your wrists. Has about the same effect and entertainment value as playing Progear.

Love Raizing, don't like Progear at all.

But it's just different tastes, gonna nip the thread derail in the bud, let's not turn this into a Progear/Cave hate/defense thread.

Rob explains this situation (link):

"Mars Matrix is what some retards call 'vertizontal.' What that means is you got a vertical scrollin' game, that you can play on a regular TV. Now this really pisses off people who want to flip their TV for every single game. In my opinion, there's no point to havin' tate for every single vertical scrollin' shooter, it's just not necessary, unless you got bullets fast as a Psikyo game."

yokohorizontal games just look ugly. If you're going to have a predominant vertical field of movement, it needs to be longer than it is wide, regardless of bullet pace.

Total Recall agrees: life is better in vert

I really like vertizontal games.

Border Down has some scatters of tiny small, slow bullets if thats any similarity

One thing, though - many games like Twin Cobra are essentially vert-scrolling yokos anyway, as you're meant to scroll the background all over. All that stuff in the background moving can be a distraction, particularly in a faster game.

I guess some people would kill for something like this

Yagawa move your ass

And make it real 2d not DS2 shit.
Does anyone here know if he is still at Cave? Or did he just got a nice place at the window for "failing" with his games?

Strahl - little weapon icons, invisibullets, other ridiculous things.

Nah, it's missing ridiculous amounts of explosions and debris so Cave players do not see bullets and items clearly

The visual similarities can be neat. Eh?

It does have some of that.

Anyone know if it's game-breaking or just audio or something that doesn't work?
