[Skybolter]

I hate to shootdown the XB-70 Valkyrie, it's a great airplane and i hate to destroy it.

[Skybolter]

I'm so glad to have it, I Love the F-14

[PerfectFlawlessWin]

@JackassLamda You = Fail

[ForceMaximus84]

Whoa.

[FinalGamerJames]

My goddamn favourite arcade game of all time <3 FUCK YEAH!

[sonicadx]

I played this in like 2009 in chucky cheese at new york I only got to lvl 9 then I got killed I got it on Ps3 and I got the secret ending after playing a day the highest combo I could get was 70 :( but i still got 100% trophies xD

[isaacmoring]

I added your video to "Favorites".

[sableantelope77]

this would have to be the fastest paced game in the arcades/ play station network

[Wahsayah]

FAFAAFAAFFAFAFAFAFFAFAFAFAAFFA­FFAFAFAFAFAFFFAFAFAFAFAFAFAFFA­FAFAFAFAFAFAFAAFAFAFFAFAFAFAFA­FFAFAFFAFFFAFAFFAFAFAFAFAFAFAF­AFFAFAFAAFFAAFAFAFFAFAFAFAFAFF­AFAFAFAFAFFAFAFAFA.......

I like game but all I wanna hear is the music and fx of stuff blowing up. lol

[slaughterbrother2]

Would this work on wii? If Sega made one.

[Purianite]

@slaughterbrother2 You do realize the Sega Lindbergh is much more powerful than the Wii, right? Don't even think about a Wii port. Leave that up to the stronger consoles. Though the motion control would be nice. But I don't want a half-ass port with shit visuals.

[sonicadx]

@Purianite I dont think a Wii port would be that bad the wii might be able to manage it as this game doesnt have 50 stages and galaxy is an impressive looking game so is other m

[Purianite]

@sonicadx Keep in mind the specs of the Wii, and the specs of the Lindbergh. We'd get greatly reduced quality visuals and 30 frames per second.

[sonicadx]

@Purianite yes i guess though

[TheMeleeMaster21]

SEGA needs to make an AfterBurner Climax II Or something.. :-P

With way more levels and options!! xD This game was too short but thanks to SEGA For making this awesome videogame for my Ps3.. :D

[sableantelope77]

@TheMeleeMaster21 they might create some add ons for the ps3

[juraiknight]

wtf...how does the japanese version have TEAM play mode, and the US version doesn't? i'm not amused...not amused at all...and the music is different cause he chose After Burner I music on the load out screen

[hot4teacherz]

damn son. someone's good at afterburner lol

[coltermegasxlr]

Why is the music for this version so different than the X-box version?

[sonicadx]

@coltermegasxlr cause he switched the music you can do that ingame when the route shows up after you pick a ship

[joecoolbackinschool]

@darkplanetjohnson64 what does climax mean?

[kritiker10000]

lol its like u are in drugs its to fast

[egg64]

Jesus H. Christ look at that framerate.........O_O.

[thegreatmasteryuri85]

ahahah the best sega game...

however 0,1 % of realism

[pervertedmind]

g-loc is superior to this

[HummerRXT]

lol i know that from a acardebox this game is so fucking awesome

[jorge1234597]

is it online or split screen

[AirLockBelsen]

@darkplanetjohnson64 Yes !!!!!!! Reminds me of the old awesome shit in the arcades when i was 10 !!!!!

[wordtothemothers191]

WAHT THE FUCK DID I JUST WATCH

[rockman290684]

Someone could explain me one detail please ? how the player have more chain than existing targets ??? There is a trick for it i'm sure but i didn't find anything about it and i think it is very important for doing a good score.

[PreludeGundam]

@rockman290684

Apparently you can press the 'fire missile' button for every enemy you lock onto while in climax mode before you go out of climax mode, and it will add that amount to your combo or 'chain'

[egg64]

@wordtothemothers191 You just saw God, my friend.

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

IT'S ON SALE ON PSN AND XBL RIGHT NOW FOR 3 MORE DAYS! GET IT CHEAP WHILE YOU CAN!

[excaliber2010]

Did you know that this person has the game on easy settings? The Climax meter and Full speed meter build up much slower on normal settings. And if you play in score attack mode on xbox live or PSN, the settings can't be changed. That's where you truly see who's the best of the best.

[212809]

@excaliber2010 The afterburners cannot be run constantly. But if you trick the game by moving the throttle back slightly then forward constantly, you can run it continously, which is what this player is doing.

[OMofro]

@excaliber2010 Did you know that this person is playing on an arcade cabinet and therefore couldn't turn on EX settings that don't exist on the original arcade mode?

The player is using the hammer-on trick to rapidly brake then accelerate to stay at max speed. The climax meter builds fast because he hits everything while flying max speed.

[MacrossFan189]

Great flying!

[shadowfax273k]

NEXT TIME, I'M HERE ON VACATION.

[excaliber2010]

C'mon Sega AM2, I want a Super Hang-on Update.

[LilATL94]

Love that loading music lol, kickass guitar riff.

F-14D Super Tomcat all the way!

Oh noo!!! Jaguar leader's hit!!!

[mrmistercharles]

WOW this guy(or girl) playing is like some one man flying rambo

[RyunSharp]

fire, fire, fire, fi fi fi fi fi fi fi fire fire fire!

[EmergeAzureThunder]

Man, I remember playing the SMS version when I was a wee lad. I was never any good at it back then; I could never get past stage 2 or 3. Those were the days.

But man, oh, man...this looks freakin' sexy. Part of me wants to pick this up.

[jtran1976]

It would be sweet if Sega would completely redo the original Shinobi.

[mgreen27]

LoL. Am i the only one that didn't know this is downloadable on Xbox live??

[tecmo1]

@mgreen27 nope..... i diddnt kno til today.

[ifnsman]

Do you think that fast-paced action like this is what Sega tried to achieve with their new Sonic games?

[RyunSharp]

Sega is realizing that their old school games knew the concept of fun!

Afterburner climax makes all those other realistic flight simulators look boring compared it's fast-paced roller-coaster riding awesomeness!

[XxiLLViLLAiNxX]

@RyunSharp Hell yeah! I've been playing Climax for hours on my PS3. This game... it's just too awesome. It took me a little while to get used to it. I kept doing barrel rolls by accident but now I'm controlling the plane like I want. I really hope more people buy it so SEGA can be convinced to release more arcade hits on consoles.

[GunSlinger092]

I cannot wait for the PS3/360 version of this game!

BTW, I have an mp3 AB:Climax version of "Final Takeoff" (The music at the first 3 stages. If you're interested, send me a PM or something.)

[ashleyriot50]

Though its not as good the one one being played here in the video since its the old one. 90's music?

[ashleyriot50]

You can't find it? Even on google?

[elmogoo]

What the heck are you saying I mean it

[RyunSharp]

This is how a flight simulator should play!

[hankseptember]

April 22 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SchwarzenJien]

@hankseptember Is that true!? I can't wait!

[tr763]

one vote f-16

[Deokishisu]

Why doesn't Sega churn out more awesome stuff like this?

[dstln]

@Deokishisu 1. no one buys it 2. they do, but they're only arcade games

[Muffincakeswithsugar]

@Deokishisu because it doesn't give enough money to AM2

[MegaRayland]

@Deokishisu

It has. They were called Valkyria Chronicles 1 & 2. Few people bought them in the US, hence no sequel for either is planned. Not a shooter but certainly one of the best games out there.

[LilATL94]

Hey Ace Combat is a excellent game and I like this too.

F-14 all the way. This is a fun game. Now, I can't wait to get it on my PS3.

[iceyou88]

Doesn't live up to ace combat

[jws50]

Now this a "real" video game remake!!

and it works

[MarioNintendoh]

@jws50 It's unreal... SEGA making a game that badass in 2010? What a nice comeback! Can't wait to read reviews about this game

[Saur]

@MarioNintendoh

They'll all bitch about it being too "short". They'll blunder their way through it using continues and a heap of EX Options, then get all aloof about how it's over too quickly. It'll take you months to get a decent 1 credit run going, but it's not about that anymore is it?

[jws50]

oh yeah! this is a gorgeous comeback for this classic game!!

[gilesahrun]

If this game don't comes to PC, I guess I'll have to get used to Master Burner Climax...

Anyway I'm glad they used the original musics in this version.

[corpus26]

So dam fast paced game, I love it!

[grgspunk]

Why the hell did it take over three years for Sega to decide on getting this game ported to XBLA and PSN?

[WeskerSega]

Because they were waiting for the digital download market to be strong enough for it. They have never intended to release this game in retail form and this proves it.

[SDSOverfiend]

First Time seeing this and this Shit looks Bananas!!! Fucking incredible. Now another Panzer Dragoon would be nice.

[olbertus]

Never played it but it looks like a great update and a really fun and frenetic on rails shooter of the type sadly hardly ever produced these days...can't wait for the PSN release...

[Saur]

WOW! The grading on this game is so brutal! Despite the player using the after burners near constantly throughout this section it still didn't award the AAA for time!

I love these vids so much, I've been loving this game to death recently. Hope to one day be able to learn the stages correctly and try for these massive combos!

[uouvictuorxD]

After Burner climax was confirmed for Playstation Network and Xbox Live Arcade

[Ace9921]

*big grin*

Hells yes!!! I've been waiting for this moment since the day I first played After Burner Climax back in 2008!

[LOLMAN22]

is the pilot saying "fuck fuck fuck" over and over again?

[Saif6301]

@LOLMAN22 No he is saying FIRE! FIRE! FIRE! Its the sound from the 2nd Afterburner game along with all the music

[bakudandanLL]

XD

[wikikomoto]

how do you switch the soundtrack anyway?? i always see the option in the corner but i never found out how to switch it... any help?

[isntz]

"We're going ballistic. Go get him!" - From Top Gun, LOL

First thought "Climax" is something else, he..he..

[lance03244]

Sega need to pull their finger out their asses and release this awesome shit on the consoles NOW!!!

[williampatton2007]

wheres the cockpit view?

[asgardpictures]

This is the first I'm seeing of this. I may have just jizzed my pants! I wish they would apply this concept to more older titles. Take the same gameplay and perspective, and just make the graphics better and frame rate smooth. Imagine Konami giving us Jackal 2010! Or a top down Zelda with photorealistic graphics. Is that too much too ask?

[ThaEnlightedMovement]

HOLY SHIT I WANT THIS GAME

[elbocky]

Hi!..Anybody knows, when will be it release for XBOX 360??..thanks!!

[Saif6301]

Sorry to inform you but there never will be. Its in the Japanese arcades and will never be ported to home consoles. It was planned to but they never went though with it.

[JigenD]

Boy aren't you fucking dumb. It's been announced for PS3, might be coming to 360 too. Download-only game, probably 2010.

[Saif6301]

Boy aren't you the researching type i never said it was not announced they did announce it at release but they still have not given out a date for the last 3 years.

BTW love the name man best anime ever!

[condor115]

Looks like you were wrong.

[Saif6301]

@condor115 Uhhh well that's nice instead of saying some random crap without backing it up how about some, ummm Proof?

[Saif6301]

@condor115 Also i made that comment 1 month ago man! Seriously.

[condor115]

That's why you should never say never. I shouldn't have to hold your hand for finding proof, seeing how you can't post links or anything on YouTube. Go check gaming blog Kotaku for starters considering they linked to a bunch of screenshots from the Xbox 360 version in one of today's articles.

P.S. - A month isn't really that long a go

[Saif6301]

@condor115 Never said never. And as to holding my hand how about i dunno not leaving a vague comment on a video i haven't bothered to see in awhile, also by the way not everyone goes to kotaku so next time you wanna be a cheeky bastard could you please go eat a bag of dicks?

[condor115]

Maybe you need to reread your original comment, where you clearly stated an Xbox 360 version is "never going to happen." Kotaku was not the only site that posted the screens today. Judging by some of the wording in your last reply, I clearly see the type of person I'm dealing with here. Have some class.

[Saif6301]

@condor115 Oh normally i don't have time to do this crap but fudge it. Really man OOOO ya got me I was wrong about how a game was announced 2 years ago then we heard nothing from them about it. And "clearly see the type of person I'm dealing with here." shows just how much of a prick you are man, really next time you try and read me, you want me to be nice to you don't be such a asshole about it. Really man i find you repugnant so you "Have some class."

[skunkkey666]

unfortunately not,only arcade or hacking community with an emulator for naomi 1 or 2,its a shame but like chase hq 2 and planet harriers no home versions

[JigenD]

This is Lindbergh, not Naomi. PCs can't emulate it...

[skunkkey666]

lindbergh,ill take your word for it,i was assuming naomi 1 or 2

[kenster2001]

The Lindbergh is based on PC architecture. They don't have to emulate it. Almost all PCs can run the code natively (except DEC Alpha or IA-64).

They could probably get it work on a PC with very, very minimal effort.

[JigenD]

@kenster2001 It depends on if the 'they' you refer to is emulator coders or Sega.

The Lindbergh is more than based on PC architecture, but I don't know what you mean when you say 'almost all PCs can run the code natively'. I assume the code is x86 machine code, as the Lindbergh uses a Pentium 4 3.0GHz.

However, it is code written for the Pentium 4 3.0GHz and a Geforce 6800GT on a specific mobo on a custom OS. This is not code written for a E8400 or i7 920 or AMD Phenom X4 or whatever.

[JigenD]

@kenster2001 Barring a massive effort by many coders and hackers, After Burner Climax could never be made to run on PCs. It would be an extreme effort, and frankly waiting 20 years and building an emulator would be easier.

So much for your theory.

[kenster2001]

@JigenD

I would not preclude the possibility that hackers could get it working based on some assumptions:

- Sega used vender drivers for their Linux kernel

- That they used the OpenGL API.

These assumptions are based on the fact that Sega used PC hardware in the first place to save time and complexity.

Although possible, I seriously doubt that Sega wrote their own graphics API.

The biggest impediment to getting Lindbergh games working on the PC is motivation. The game catalog is tiny.

[JigenD]

@kenster2001 It doesn't matter what drivers Sega used for any of the components. If they programmed on any kind of efficient level (at least some assembler), which I think is safe to assume as the games looked way better than any PC game running on a 6800GT, you won't be running it on different hardware.

The API doesn't necessarily matter either.

There's also a security chip and for all we know it'd be a similar effort to Capcom's CPS3 to crack, which took a decade.

[johnwx777]

Holy jetstreams of excitement,this looks ace!

It's good they retained the classic Afterburner sounds too.

[samalus]

the word for sega arcade games and cabinets is awesomeness, from out run and hang out in the mid 80's to now!

[0871Atta]

I don't get it... is this jet shooting off hundreds of missiles at once and magically getting more? o_O

[piranha483]

hell yeah, and i wouldn't have it any other way

[0871Atta]

But why have a real jet when you have crazy infinite missile action?

[bornin19xx]

Last I checked, real air to air combat doesn't have vocal alerts or a combat commentator either. Just enjoy the video.

[Arjay9975]

After Burner always gave you a ton of missles to play with. Climax just made this more awesome.

[wongjp]

This looks ridiculous. Ridiculously AWESOME.

[ThinBear4]

The missile lock-on sound is annoying.

[dvdcervantes]

It's these kind of arcade games that give you the adrenaline rush. It's awesome!! It's nice to have it for the console, but it's a hell of alot better playing it on the arcade. :D

[skunkkey666]

sega are still masters of the arcade game which is sadly a dieing genre

[DDRSN2]

Precisely. Sega makes some of the most cutting-edge arcade games, but people don't like them as much as they should.

[arcus76]

God, this looks amazing.

I bought HAWX for the PC, hoping it would be something along the same lines as this.

Boy, was I ever dissapointed :'o(

[yur1fan]

sega is WAY BETTER

[stardingo747]

There, I said it; Capcom is better than SEGA, although I love SEGA. I'll always respect their style.

[stardingo747]

I love SEGA's style; high octane intensity. There were games before Sonic, and then there's video games after Sonic. There is a reason Sonic is SEGA's mascot; he's symbolic of the company's design philosophy, high, octane, INTENSITY. Personally though SEGA is my second favorite company; Capcom is better. Capcom, combines Nintendo's puzzle design, with SEGA's intensity so their games are almost always good.

[hargosh37]

The only way to play it...with the ORIGINAL After Burner II music!

[CJAC5]

Is this game on PS3?

[212809]

No. Its only on arcade.

[TheMVRules]

They're working on an PS3 port, though. I'm not sure if it will be released outside of Japan.

[mistique079]

0:22 best tune ever!!!

I want this as a ringtone

[CJAC5]

AH. Love that tune 12 years ago. Love it more now.

[tsukarin21]

日本の空も安全だね汗 ━(il`・ω・´;) ━ﾀﾗｧｧ～ﾝ

[dave4shmups]

I'm pretty sure Dave & Busters has it here in Denver. I really don't understand why this game hasn't gotten a home console port yet. Sure, it's short, but so was Outrun 2002.

[risefm]

is this in any american arcades?

[Laternater]

I wish the quality was better

[CCrockyourass]

Push high quality button.

[Deokishisu]

The original music and FIRE sound makes this game even better!

[kinmanyuen]

God I like the 80's music.

It's so good they put it optional in this serie

[nujie273]

after burner climax...i hope it come to indonesia...i'm after burner fan

[ArcheotriX]

@nujie273 Lol its arledy on indonesia

im from indonesia too =)

[nujie273]

really? where?

because i'm from bandung and i always go to paris van java, istana plaza, and ciwalk and i didn't found after burner climax. the only game i can found is razing storm

thx for the info ^^

[airraid7777]

AFTER BURNER CLIMAX is around THREE

YEARS OLD, already. It came out in 2006...

..or early 2007.

SEGA needs to release it on Xbox360, PS3, and PC.....

....ASAP! COME ON SEGA!

[YF23BlackWidowII]

this looks better then most of the ps3 games... Sega is always haead of its time...

[mobius1aic]

It's on Lindbergh whose GPU is about half to 2/3s the capability of the RSX in the PS3.

[JigenD]

Yea, same hardware as Virtua Fighter 5, it'll be an easy port.

[termi555]

plllllleeeeeeaaaasseee seeeeeeeeeegggggggggaaaaaaaa mmaaaaaaakkkeeee ttttthhhhhhhhhiiiiiiiiiiisssss­s gaaaaammmmmmmmeeeeee onn pc/ps3/xbox 360 pppppplllleeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaasss­ssss

[Athrun01]

I just played this game... and I realised you can choose between class AB2 Music or the Remix Music.

I reallly like playing with teh Classic Music

[peepeevagi]

Climax is right.

Hot damn.

[MaxAndEmilytate]

That "bawk" sound gets funny after a while.

Shit, I wonder if this lone plane's fired off more missiles than in the whole USAF arsenal?

[megaben99]

why is the original after burner music playing instead of the remix music of this game? this looks like a great game, and by all means this guy could kick my ass very easily because i was never good at this game.

p.s. there is now an arcade version of gutar hero. screw you dance dance revoluti--- wait a minute i hate gutar hero because it killed dance dance revolution for me. now i will never play any music game ever again. you got to love them shooters.

[Saif6301]

its "FIRE!" not bawk

[megaben99]

ok i got the point.

p.s. your better at this game than i am, i am very bad at this game, and i can't even get the best ending. also the music in this game is from the original after burner. if this is a new after burner game, then why is the music from the orignal in this game? you did way better than me, so you win.

[YF23BlackWidowII]

Sega release the Dreamcast 2 and this as a lunch title

[airraid7777]

Sega really was developing a new console beyond Dreamcast (Dreamcast 2 if you will) between 1999 and 2001. And It wasn't Xbox, since Sega wanted Microsoft to make Xbox compatible with the existing Dreamcast *and* the Dreamcast2 which was in R&D.

Obviously all plans for Dreamcast 2

(or whatever Sega would've called it) were KILLED once Sega decided to bow out of the home console hardware market in 2001.

If Sega comes out with a console in the future, it should be called NeoGenesis !

[Ace9921]

If Sega comes out with a new console, I'd be all over it. I'm a HUGE Sega fan, owning nearly every console they ever released in North America and growing my After Burner/Sonic the Hedgegog/whatever other Sega franchise collection. I'd buy that console in a flash.

[YF23BlackWidowII]

Me to man if they release it i would buy it...

[YF23BlackWidowII]

man are you resrious??? why dident they made the Dreamcast 2??? and has we all know Sega if thet realeased the Dreamcast 2 it would have been like 4 or 6 times more powerfull the the olriginal Dreamcast... man Sega Should really release the new Dreamcast 2... i hope they release it... there are rumors that it is gona be released in 9/9/2009...

[sybnios]

Pleaaaase a console port SEGAAAAAAA Pleaaase!

[cybersalad]

This was a pretty slick coin-op. I played it a few years back. Too bad they never did a home conversion. It may be a little shallow, but still fun.

[dtadeo2006]

excellent update to graphics and original music wow! i played after burner 2 till i had no more stamina... the music just keeps pumping you up for action.

[KIREEKPSO]

Does anyone know where to get the soundtrack, i can get the older versions but i'm having a hard time to find the soundtrack of the after burner for xbox 360

Thanks in advance.

[grgspunk]

There is no 360 version.

[KIREEKPSO]

then what is this?

[grgspunk]

Arcade.

[KIREEKPSO]

Is there a soundtrack download of the arcade after burner?

[grgspunk]

I think there's a soundtrack, but I have no idea where to get it.

[rebel4thecolorbrown]

dude this game is fucking awesome i was playing this all night at the after party to our prom so i beat the game for free

[Dargakis]

that's so cool :D also after your prom is nice

[Sonicisbadazz]

It totally sucks that this game isn't scheduled for consoles anymore! It's such a great update of an old classic! LOVE hearing that music in the background! Brings back memories! And damn, that ground moves by so F-ing fast, but maintains its high level of detail! INCREDIBLE GRAPHICS! Those wingmen over the com are also really cool! They speak the way normal air pilots would! I hope I can find an arcade cabinet of this here in America!

[akr06]

should be renamed to Israeli Air Force Training Simulator

[gyrobotZ]

How so :P?

[mjc5678]

I think i have played this game before. I remember playing a game like this at skegness round the time when i was 16. but its not there now. I would not mined playing this game now good game play thinks for uploading this.

[jws50]

they need to make games like this again.

[phatbass66]

awesome!!!bring this to console..id buy

[jws50]

Hell yeah Tobibrocki! They remade this game so well, it is unreal. I love it!
