Shmups & Cool stories...
What Shmups have cool, deep & dramatic stories, videos & cutscenes?
The only ones I can think of are:
Gaiares - By the way, aren't the guys that made this, the same people that made Valis? The art in the cut scenes looks very similar...
Ikaruga
Silpheed - The Lost Planet
Radiant Silvergun
Thunder Force V
Also is there a shmup where you don't simply go against all odds & fight against infinite enemy waves, just simply because you're using a technologically superior craft?
One where you're the bad guy & everything is on your side for a change?

You need a actionpacked thrilling story ?
Are you kidding man !
Remember: You are the only hope for mankind. The enemy spends billions over billions of credits to build a devastating armada to develop a corrupt regime.
The aramda exists of thousands of bulletspreading fighting crafts and heavy tanks.
You even cannot imagine how much money those bosses will cost.
All of them a rare unique models with extrem powerful weapons.
All have the ability to destroy Megacitys !
Our funds are near NILL !
So the only thing we can offer you are 3 ships equipped with a standard laser.
You have to rely on your reflexes and your perfect eye to hand coordination.
Make use of every POWERUP or SMARTBOMB you can find on your way to the final boss.
KID this is no virtual simulation this is a REAL MISSION !
So get your stuff ready... 3 ...2 ...1 GO !
And may the spirit of the legendary CLOVER TAC be with you.
Greetings

Ikaruga's story was more pronounced in the original Dreamcast Import.
Subtitles before the game and each stage...some proverb/moaning from the tragic hero.
The Original Silpheed also had Cinematics and dialouge between pilots.
although not quite to the extent of the sequel.
Gleylancer also had cutscenes and cinematics...but the story hasn't been fully translated and usually comes across as contrived at best.

Shikigami No Shiro 2 on the DC has some(in shmups parlance anyways), rather lengthy bouts of banter between your character and the bosses you're about to vanquish.
Christ knows what they're saying though!

Steam Hearts had a story...
more or less a depraved means to an end, but a story nonetheless.
