Einhander (PS1) Introduction + Stage 1 (Imperial …: http://youtu.be/y8Yh7jjw2_Y

*sigh*

Maybe if Square pulls their collective heads out their asses. Man...that game's sequel on current platforms would probably bring world peace

 

[OSHAN]

A new Omega Boost while they're at it.

 

[abstract alien]

I fully support this and would pay full price.

 

[kinggroin]

I fully support this and would pay full price.

*fist bump*

Full price

 

[adamantypants]

I already wanted a new Einhander. *sigh*

Throw that on the list of "it makes too much sense" Square.

 

[Fermbiz]

Greatest shooter I've ever played

 

[brandonh83]

Einhander was amazing. Last stage/final boss was bonkers.

 

[lobdale]

The corpses of great, barely used IPs litter the history of Square Enix. Threads of Fate, Einhander, Vagrant Story, Brave Fencer Musashi... if any of them ever got sequels they were horrible, quick, and forgotten.

 

[Violater]

I think I tapped into some part of my brain when I played Einhander all those years ago that no other game has been able to elicit.

 

[Daante]

The MUSIC in Einhänder is so FREAKING GOOD

Great game aswell, so many nice memories!

 

[Zampano]

Love that game. The neat little touches to the weapon change animations were so cool.

 

[kick51]

*looks at silpheed 360*


um...i'm not sure I want them to try

 

[sixteen-bit]

Japanese version had cool box art.

 

[Dogfacedgod]

Not having a new Einhander makes me want a new Einhander.

 

[PandaPedinte]

A new Einhänder could be really cool.

 

[Massive Duck. C.M.]

Squaresoft used to be so good then...

"A polygon shooter with claws and shit? Why not?"

 

[EnVy_CaLiBeR]

Einhander was my shit. Amazing game.

 

[BlackGoku03]

I wish they would bring it back too.


But we are talking about Square, right?

 

[RangerBAD]

A new Omega Boost while they're at it.

Shoji Kawamori is too busy working on the new Macross.

 

[DaCocoBrova]

I knew there would be no sequel the moment it was announced. Same with Ehrgeiz. Total departures in terms of genre.

Dope ass game nonetheless, albeit way too short and barely challenging.

 

[DouglasteR]

A new einhander is a must.

It would dwarf resogun like a sun to moon.

 

[LiK]

You'll get one when Lightning is the pilot.

 

[Manu]

Yes please. Einhander was awesome.

 

[FlashbladeGAF]

DAT soundtrack

 

[Violater]

They should just remake the original, no need to change any mechanics etc.
Just make the game look current.

 

[muteki]

A new Omega Boost while they're at it.

Just wait until Polyphony is done with GT.

 

[plasmawave]

Do you really want current SE to make the sequel?

 

[Lijik]

In a hypothetical future where this would turn out to be good with no monkeypaw twists like its on mobile or lightning is starring in it or theyve farmed it out to spark unlimited or something

Yes, I would buy a new Einhander at a high price

 

[kick51]

Do you really want current SE to make the sequel?

yeah, all this hope, but we'd end up with some poop if it were actually made.

it would star a ship with Lightning decals all over it, in the shape of Lightning's sword, and there'd only one weapon-- a gun shaped like Lightning that shoots Lightning-shaped bullets at enemies...who are all Lightning.


either that or a mobile card game.

 

[NoirVisage]

breathing makes me want a new Einhander..such a lovely game, I suck if I'm able to cheat though

 

[fvng]

I will never believe that anyone finished Einhander without some save state feature. That game's difficulty level was ungodly and the continue system was unfair, but the game is excellent

I will always remember Square's second golden age on the PS1 when they took fun risks like these

 

[DouglasteR]

I will never forget the first time i played it.

It was a rainy day i didnt have much to do otherwise play this game.

When it came to this part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=y8Yh7jjw2_Y#t=329 .... It was love at first sight.

Its amazing how the soundtrack fit perfectly with the boss and the game itself.

Mainly tears

 

[Haunted]

They could call it... Zweihänder.


Fun fact, I never saw any footage of this game and wasn't even aware it's a shmup. From the title, I just thought it would be a fighting game or something. :lol


edit: oh shit, did I confuse this with Ehrgeiz?

edit²: I totally did, my bad. Man, these wacky Japanese and their randomly chosen German names.

 

[atr0cious]

wrong game

 

[desertdroog]

Yes Please.

And Raystorm, and R-Types (w/ Delta), and Darius Gaiden (zuntata pls!) and.. and..

 

[SkylineRKR]

Will redownload when Ps4 supports Ps1 games. Einhander is masterful.

Strider on the other hand is a piece of shit.

 

[Horseticuffs]

Man, Einhander was the fucking best! This thread makes me happy. I LOVED the look and feel of that game.

 

[th4tguy]

Did they ever fix the AF issue on the PS4? I was holding off on getting it until they did, but I can't find anywhere if they ever did.

 

[Chinbo37]

Such a great game. My roommate and I freshman year in college would play constantly trying to unlock everything

 

[Epcott]

Maybe we'll see it...








As Einhander iOS, if at all
