While the Goemon thing is true, let's stop this rumor here. Radiant
Silvergun PS was stopped because it was BUTT ugly. The lack of texture
RAM made the game vastly inferior to the Saturn version (which couldn't
come over because our BS friend killed the Saturn prematurely) in the
initial pre-alpha versions. It was obvious that the game just wasn't
going to work on the PS without a ground-up rewrite, which made no sense
at all for a genre (shooters) that was dead or dying in Japan and the US.
Besides, I wanted to keep all the extra shrink-wrapped Saturn Radiant
Silverguns I have selling for a premium on Ebay! Hehehe...kidding!
