[zeromustlive]

@TheSpyngas 3:31 Perfect Cherry Blossom

[Broyale26]

@TheSpyngas

Good.

[AuraDRGN]

At 4:46 whats that plane flying?

[RoninYorch]

They could talk at least a little about Axelay and Einhänder...

[Bananadine]

that Radiant Silvergun sounds really cool but its sloppy-looking 3D graphics don't sell it well in these clips

3D graphics sure do mess up a lot of games that don't need them

[chaolinbombin213]

i just love videogames! arigato japan for all those games and memories

[Addicted2gaming]

great stuff

[Outshinedsg]

Great documentary, thanks for posting. My favorite shooter is Raiden =).

[JohnnyK98k]

"In a good shooter, you shoot, you kill the enemy and he disappears in a good explosion." HAHAHA... :)))

[Sableneko]

Ugh, how can they mention doujin games but not devote any time to the single largest doujin game series in Japan?

[cyberdupo56]

I agree, more touhou needed.  Some things unique to touhou: more focus on the patterns of the bullets (spellcards) and the huge (HUGE) fan culture.

[Maverynthia]

@cyberdupo56 Though could have even taken the angle that doujin programmers are keeping the shmup genre alive by continuing to release games and ignore how shmups are doing on consoles.

[Holammer]

Many games only mentioned or showed in passing. Like Raiden!

Still an okay documentary I guess.

[5stargeneral313]

NO ba-gai-o

[eduardoestrella2k10]

What! About the Dezaemon Series to Create the Shooting Game Tittle Company by Athena and also the Metal Black, G-Darius Created By Hiroyuki Maruyama i so Quit the Taito to He Work this Job the G-Rev Game Like Border Down, Under Defeat or etc. so Shooting Like it So Good

[TheMVRules]

TREASURE FTW!

[kokone9]

A game so important to even risk their company...

This people are amazing

Excelent documental

[hatchedarea]

Such a great documentary!

[asdf1000000]

And lest I forget - wonderful show. The subject was covered with love and enthusiasm, and we got to see so many of the "big name" guys and hear their thoughts. Hearing Maruyama and others explain what makes a good shooter gave me a good laugh - they are absolutely right, and so many people (most of the western gaming press for instance) will never get it.

Lots of thanks Gameone, and KrgFn for the translation.

[saijeehiguchi]

Needs more ZUN

[alphamone]

@saijeehiguchi

3:32

a quick clip of PCB.

[saijeehiguchi]

@alphamone

I noticed that, but if you read that I said "More" it changes the point of my statement.

[jaranarm]

Can anyone distinguish what programming language Maruyama was using?

[asdf1000000]

It's C++ syntax in the screenshot for sure.

[KobayashiBR]

Fantastic ! 5 stars !!

[mrnuage]

It was a really good docu. The only thing lacking in my opinion is a little part about Touhou project since he talked about Dojin games.

[beenthesun]

07:40 What is the game name?

I'm looking for a classic shooting game. It's similar with 07:40game.

maybe 2 helicopters, red and blue. When we get the maximum weapon, one is like a fire column.

In chinese character, the name was 2 letters.

[MetallicMushroom]

The game is Under Defeat on Sega Naomi

[MrGupkalev]

we need more oldschool games and scrol shooter instead the next gen (5h gameplay) shit... its long time, till i saw realy "new" great games for exapmple like jet set radio...

[Prinsdam]

I can't believe they actually covered Dezaemon. There was even some ELO in the first segment! This was a perfect documentary. Truly remarkable.

[Ebb1993returns]

Radiant... Silvergun...

[DjDedan]

Wha! Just noticed: No Psikyo! One of the innovators in my opinion: Zero Gunner 2 / Pilot Kids / Cannon Spike / Sengoku Ace / Strikers series the list goes on...

[SYN7HOR]

Thank you very much for posting this.

[zebure]

really an expensive game 150$, o hope i find it someday cheap :D. i did find castlevania sotm for 1$ so why not :D

[andy7666]

Thats an awesome bargain! I'd be a happy bunny if I found that for a dollar! XD

[andy7666]

Ah man.. Im going to get a copy of Dazaemon - see if I can make anything decent! There are so many awesome shooters - I wish there was a home grown scene today, I guess there are on the PC but I don't know of any.. Games like Radient Silvergun and Ibara go for stupid prices - Ibara - $150 - 325 on ebay and its yours.. People can't afford this - its much easier to copy games, normally Im against it but with prices like that I'm 100% for it!

[mAto77777a]

150$ for a game you rly want its not that much its like 2 ps3 or xbox360 game

[DracOverLordHaton]

@andy7666 - there's a whole shooter section here, I downloaded some a couple of years back - they are good games,

freeware.remakes(dot)org

Some more for free - w spheresofchaos(dot)com

w acid-play(dot)com/download/g-t­ype

w 18.big.or.jp/~hikoza/Prod/

(ABA games is also at freeware remakes)

[andy7666]

@DracOverLordHaton Hey, thanks for getting back to me dude - I'll check these out for sure! ^_^ I got into Dezaemon a bit in the end, some cool little games, also have looked through a few of the 360 inides - some are ok, ALOT of potential there! The PC indie/"doujin" scene is amazing, its good to have both demos and full games available - if I had the dough I would invest in hard copies of these games ($20 odd I think - you get the cool art, case etc.) - alot of the titles are just amazing..

[DracOverLordHaton]

@andy7666 - cool, glad you found stuff you liked.

[DracOverLordHaton]

@andy7666 - you'll prolly know also by now, that the 360 homebrew section also has a fair amount of shooter games. If not, then the same applies as with other Live games - you can even get free preview / downloads of some of them, and cause they are homebrew they are cheap to buy. Don't know if the other consoles of current gen also do homebrews or not.

[JRock424]

First of all, thank you for posting this. Second of all personally speaking when I found out Treasure was making Gradius V for Konami on the PS2 I thought it was ironic because Treasure was founded by former Konami employees who were tired of making sequels for consoles that was difficult to program on.
