OMG Grabbing! YUMYUMYUM!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Preordered.

 

[Jonnyram]

Hmm, some of it looks a bit dojin-ish, but I'll definitely give it a try.

 

[drohne]

it seems to have that high-speed high-intensity thunderforce feel, but i'm not sure i like the live guitar music -- maybe it's weird to prefer tf5's synth guitars, but i think i do

 

[OceansAndEarth]

Looking great.

 

[duckroll]

Backgrounds scroll really fast = good
Enemies don't feel that dynamic or fast = hmmmm
Music trying so hard to be TF rock = ewwwww

Hoping it's good!

 

[fushi]

I'm a bit down on the music, but it looks really great!

 

[British Monsoon]

Here's a youtube link; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fk-4qzX-rJ8

Looks really awesome, the sense of speed is great. The super-cheesy guitar musics a bit much though

 

[Tain]

Looks pretty good in motion.

Music still buttrockingly awesome.

Free Range noticeably gimped.

Bring this the fuck on.

 

[Kuran]

Why did I have to sell my backwards compatible PS3...

I'm going to buy this anyway, hoping for that fabled software emulation to come out.

 

[Torgo]

Another reason that I have an import PS2. I'm buying this Day 1.

 

[VVV Mars VG]

Finally, damn I wonder why this isn't on PS3?

 

[duckroll]

Does it look like a PS3 game to you?

 

[TheSonicRetard]

That first screenshot... is that the same boss from the first stage of Thunderforce III?

God bless sega for doing this...

 

[∀ Narayan]

This can't come out, soon enough.

If this is being made, maybe there's hope for the true sequel of RayForce (aka Layer Section, Galactic Attack, and Gunlock).

Nah, it'll never happen. But we really should have gotten R-GEAR instead of that piece of dung RayStorm.

 

[VVV Mars VG]

Does it look like a PS3 game to you?

No, thats the problem, why make it on crappy old PS2 graphics rather than take the leap? I want TF 6 to blow me away in every aspect (saying 5 was crap compared to 4).

Take the leap where? Into bombaland? :lol

 

[Jirotrom]

what system and when... sorry I havent been following the news lately.

 

[sixteen-bit]

what system and when... sorry I havent been following the news lately.

PS2, October 30-ish

 

[Jirotrom]

PS2, October 30-ish

thanks!

 

[Mejilan]

Is it wrong that the only reason I'm overjoyed at this TF6 announcement is that it undoubtedly means that we'll be getting a new TF OST?

 

[VVV Mars VG]

Take the leap where? Into bombaland? :lol

As a title that is both top of its game in both graphics and sound, like TF4 when it came out. That was mind blowing at the time, this er isn't.

Yeah well, TF4 wasn't released long after everyone had moved on from shooters and the series.

 

[∀ Narayan]

Yeah well, TF4 wasn't released long after everyone had moved on from shooters and the series.

I wish those days never came.

I miss 2D shooters so much. :'(

2D gaming. <3

 

[dak1dsk1]

I might buy this, if it has an option to turn off music. What a horrible choice for a shmup.

 

[brain_stew]

Back in the day I had no idea what Thunderforce IV was as a kid but picked it up becasue it looked cool on the box and was cheap. Was trully my best random pickup ever.

 

[LuCkymoON]

Does it look like a PS3 game to you?

honestly, it looks like a psp game, and would better serve the shmups community if it was a XBLA/PSN game.

 

[VVV Mars VG]

Yeah well, TF4 wasn't released long after everyone had moved on from shooters and the series.

No excuse for the final product, its a shame really.

 

[TheJesusFactor]

I want this on WiiWare. that would be nice.

 

[duckroll]

I see people are getting more interested in discussing what platform the game should be on than the game itself....

 

[Tain]

I thought it only cursed arcade games (see the VF5R thread), but I guess it effects arcade-styled console games, too.

Because they should all be ten bucks on download services yeah totally.

way to go, people.

 

[ascii42]

Music makes me want to play Sonic games.
Has SEGA said anything about a North America release for this?

 

[jett]

Wow that looks...seriously average. I'm not a huge shmup fan, but Gradius V looks orders of magnitude better.

 

[ghibli99]

Haha, that music sounds like it came out of Lords of Thunder! Definitely has that late 80s/early 90s Japanese metal sound, like so many of those videogame remix CDs of that era. The game itself looks fast and fun, although the graphics are a little weak. Still, I've gotta play this!

 

[duk]

looks good but too easy??

 

[DaCocoBrova]

Gradius V still looks better, by a wide margin IMO.

Should be going to the PSP and not the PS2.

 

[JRPereira]

Looks hot. If there's an NA version I'll get it for sure.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

Looks hot. If there's an NA version I'll get it for sure.

me too

 

[djtiesto]

I see people are getting more interested in discussing what platform the game should be on than the game itself....

It's like that for every niche game... Hell, even some not-so-niche games (DQ9)

 

[Fularu]

TF3 bosses (at least 3 of them) : Check
TF3 music remixes : Check
Day one? : YOU BET

 

[FallenAngelV]

I see a remake of a Thunderforce IV boss. EU needs to get this.

 

[lupinko]

Will buy day 1, and upscaled to 1080p with super fast loading will be awesome!!!

Which reminds me, I need to pick up Gradius V still.

 

[Tain]

Will buy day 1, and upscaled to 1080p with super fast loading will be awesome!!!

offset by three frames of lag, imo.

Thunder Force isn't the least forgiving series around, though.

 

[FrostuTheNinja]

There is a God...

Anyone know who's doing the soundtrack?

 

[noonche]

Looks pretty good in motion.

Music still buttrockingly awesome.

Free Range noticeably gimped.

Bring this the fuck on.

I agree. TF is one of the few old-school shooters I can still play. I feel that most older shooter series have been antiquated by newer games, but TF 3, 4 and 5 are still awesome. I am soooo getting this.

 

[kazuo]

There is a God...

Anyone know who's doing the soundtrack?

If the trailer is any indication, not Hyakutaro, unfortunately. And that makes me sad/angry.

I'm also not feeling the sound effects, they sound cheesy as shit.

I'm probaly gonna buy it anyway hahahahha

But I'm so turning the music off and just playing TFV (or Broken Thunder OST) in the background.

Ugh just hire Hyakutaro or use the Broken Thunder OST already...

Anyone else notice how the boss warning says ORN on it? Dun Dun Dunnnnn...!

 

[Fularu]

Err even if Hyakutaro isn't doing the soundtrack, what we have heard so far is a straight remix of TF3 music.

 

[duckroll]

Composers revealed. There are 4 of them.

- TAMAYO (Rayforce series)
- Go Satoh (Raiden series)
- Motoaki Furukawa (Gradius II)
- Tsuyoshi Kaneko (SGGG)

 

[The Mighty Schwein]

Not that I wont just buy the japanese version if it comes to it, but whats the mum on this game getting a US release?
