Radiant Silvergun Coming to Steam

[Steven]

Any chances of Soukyugurentai being released too? I love that game much more than Radiant Silvergun.

Don't tell anyone, but...

Soukyuugurentai is a way better game

For that, I can actually agree.

Played it recently on PS1 emulation. Haven't 1cc'd yet but you are very much correct in your statement.

How is the Ikaruga port? Should we have high hopes for Treasure on Steam?

It's fine and dandy, other than being based on I assume the 360 version with fewer practice modes available. On a purely technical level though it's a good port.

How's Radiant Silvergun on Switch? That'd be what to look at.

RSG on Switch runs quite well, I've had a great 30 hours or so with it so far

[XoPachi]

I always try to force myself to like this game and I just can't get to grips with it. I've been bashing my head with it for the last week (not including the times I tried to spend with it over the last 10 years) and it is just not clicking. Reminds me of my feelings on Alien Soldier.
The Switch port is certainly good at least. Though I'd prefer a restart option.

Well, after a (non-existent) delay, we finally have a release date for 11/3/23. -> https://www.gematsu.com/2023/10/radiant ... november-3

It would've been ace if the Steam port of RSG was released during the Steam Shmup event but alas, it was a "no show". Good to learn that Live Wire's announced date with RSG -- about damn time!

Looks somehow more clear and crisp than the 360 release it's based on. Probably because of the higher res. Maybe upscaled textures?
Seems it now supports keyboard input, not just gamepad as stated on the steam page before.

[bobrocks95]

On Twitter they were talking about 4:3 support it sounded like, and playing it up as a new "classic" mode. Was that just not a screen option on the 360 version?

[Bassa-Bassa]

I believe they did not allow a 4:3 display on the 360 version, despite the game area being on a 4:3 window and despite all the other similar shooters on the system having the feature. And hardly this Steam version is getting it if you ask me - likely they're just telling us the full game can be displayed in a 4:3 window including the HUD and cinematics, for those who feel nostalgic or something. Hopefully I'm wrong, though.

[The Coop]

The Steam page was updated. November 3, 2023 is the release date.

It's out now on Steam.

[Klatrymadon]

Not to jump straight into the negatives, but it seems to be locked to 50fps during gameplay for me, going by both the Steam overlay's reading and the general sluggishness of it. Anyone else seeing this? (Wobbly screen in the menus too, almost like it's a PAL conversion of an NTSC PS2 game.)

I'm seeing 60fps according to steam overlay in menu and game play. It seems smooth to me, but I'm the kind of person that would need a side-by-side comparison unless it was really bad.

Someone on the Steam discussion boards has identified it as an issue with AMD cards. I won't be able to do much about that at the moment, alas!

[Bassa-Bassa]

So the new mode just tries to restore the original Saturn hitboxes by using integer scaling over the original resolution, hence a non-4:3 play window on LCDs for this. At least, that's what I've read. Weird that they didn't include it until now.

Some of the complaints about opening scene causing issues are on AMD cards. Hopefully we see a quick fix for it because at a glance it seems like a decent port.

RSG runs just fine/boots up on the Steam Deck if you select "Proton Experimental" with wi-fi turned on.

If anyone encounters the same issue as me and wants a quick fix until a patch is released, any 'borderless window' app should sort it out (I use Borderless Gaming, also on Steam).

Special K is better for forcing borderless fullscreen. It won't add any lag (usually)

[BazookaBen]

I'm reading on the Steam forums that the resolution is locked to 720p?

Looks as if that is the case. If memory serves me correctly the Xbox360 version ran @ 720p as well.

[BazookaBen]

This is a step backwards though because Ikaruga (which they put out many years ago now) will run at any resolution you want. I run that at 8k internal downscaled to 4k.

[Klatrymadon]

Cheers, Ben! I'll check that out.

Yeah, there are no resolution options and it seems to be in 720p by default, but I'm happy with that given all the stutter and screen-tearing issues I usually have with my setup at higher resolutions - it's been very stable so far. Hopefully it'll see a patch soon.

For those wondering the input lag is pretty bad considering V-sync is forced on with no way to disable it in-game. Luckily you can override the game settings for VSYNC in Nvidia control panel.

The way I would try is forcing "Latent Sync" in Special K with a full delay bias. That will have the GPU wait to render the game until the last couple milliseconds (maybe quicker) of the frame, giving you equivalent input lag to the game running at like 500fps or so.

EDIT: Well on my PC it seems Latent Sync works great and reduces input lag when set to the right frame rate cap, but I can't use any delay bias to reduce lag further.
