I'm confused...I've never played Radiant Silvergun but am shocked that I didn't hear the "last" level tune known as "Origin" one time. I anticipated I'd hear it just before "The Stone Like", but it didn't happen!
This form changing makes me think about the Seven Force in Gunstar Heroes (another great game from treasure) , but 100 times stronger that's for sure! XD
Looks pretty easy. I don't know how the controls and the ships hitbox work though so i can't really say. Is there higher difficulty settings in the game?
As with all other Bullet Hell Shooters, the ships have small hitboxes to cater to the masses of bullets. Each weapon from the silvergun's diverse arsenal is activated by certain button combinations.
And since bullet hell shooters are quite exclusive to Japan, not everyone knows that these kinds of games has been around for over 15 years now.
Well, i do play some bullet hell games my self. Does the name Touhou ring a bell? Maybe it does, i don't know but i'm quite familiar with bullet hell games. I really like the idea of having a small hit-box and having to maneauver it through seemingly impossible attacks. Maybe i should check out Radiant Silvergun.
Still, its a shame that western players don't play these kind of games. I think gamers have become to soft these days...
True. Still, even though i'm very fond of bullet hell games i can still find pleasure in games like Halo and especially Gears of War (the latter being one of my favorite action games of all time).
But i guess the obscurity of the genre have its advantages. Showing off your incredible gaming skills is fun. No matter if its real life or in youtube videos. (Real life showing off is the best though. Real badass!)

Hello,
i am a sega saturn shooter freak. I have the most at home. Radiant silvergun is verry good ( i have it at home) but the boss-fights are muchto long. I dont like this in shooters. At the most times i played Don Pachi or Do Don Pachi pon my Saturn. The next time Raiden Fighter Aces arrived the X Box 360. I think i would buy a Xbox only for this game. It have the best classical Shooter Series alltimes: Raiden fighters 1 + 2 and Raiden Fighters Jet.
Wow...this game sure makes Ikaruga look like a walk in the park. I used to like Ikaruga, not Radiant Silvergun. After seeing this, I still like Ikaruga, but I like Radiant Silvergun a bit more.
This game is so different from most arcade shmups. It has a great storyline There are no mega bombs, speed ups or power ups whatsoever. The only way to power up your weapons is to score with your 7 different weapons at hand. The game forces you get better. It is something that has to be experienced firsthand to truly appreciate.
@DaWrecka Although with Ikaruga, there are far, FAR more projectiles, and the sheer sensory overload can cause you to sometimes switch into an opposite colour. Like with The Tangeri Battle
hot damn it still gets no better more epic then this, even the music.......

Oh god, Xiga. Reminded me of Ultraman when I first fought him. Freaked me out too when I saw the Stone-Like beating out of his chest.
Poor Reana.
My mouth was agape in awe at the final stage and ending.

Xiga looks hard as hell to defeat. But sheerdog handled it pretty well. Props to you!!

Too bad he didn't do this on the Saturn, I would've loved to see his tactics for points VS the Extra Saturn bosses.

You're playing this on an emulator?

And I thought Ikaruga had its moments of sheer insanity. At least in Ikaruga a projectile only has a 1/2 chance of being lethal if it hits you.

Ikaruga is actually RS's spiritual successor. There's already another spiritual sequal that's secretly in the works.
