  • Treasure should do another Gradius game. This one was near perfect. I just think think they should have added more weapons. Everything else...flawless. Konami put their baby in great hands.

  • this guy makes gradius v look a lot easy

  • sure is not a fake cheat or something?

  • I am just a small part of what was known as Venom. Pieces of me are scattered through out the cosmos. Eventually, one will become sentient and exact retribution. You will never escape the shadow of fear. My hatred for your kind..............is eternal. (explosion) Sounds like a bad-ass way to go out.

  • what does that silly brain say?

  • 7:51 We love GRADIUS!!!

    I fucking live for Gradius!

  • If the last boss us not bacterion, then why is the army called the bacterions?

  • WARNING: this game can cause excessive palm sweat, nerve-wracking frustration, severe abuse of profane language and involuntary hand-controller projectile! ;)

  • Boss timeline:

    *Bacterion was the boss in G1 and 3.

    *Gofer was in G2 and Nemesis 3. A fragment of him evolves into Gaia in G4.

    *The Zelos are a separate faction of enemies in Salamander 1 and 2.

    *Dr. Venom was the chief villain of the Nemesis series (including Gradius ReBirth, which is a ret-con of Nemesis 1). He tried to use time travel to kill the original Vic Viper pilot (of G1) in infancy, but escaped in the end. He now seems to have evolved into a Bacterion-like being in G5.

  • i would laugh so much if elephant gear would just turn 180 degrees and reveal even more cores.

  • Seriously, Konami should have passing the Gradius Franchise to Treasure Developer and Co-op develop so that it won't be a frustrating way to develop Metal GEAR, Silent Hill and Run and Gun platform game because that game company is former Konami employee developer.

  • I don't like Gradius 5's music. Gradius 2, 3 and 4 are far superior. Also, this game looks ever harder than 4.

  • @EricPR239 4 is mighty harder than 5 in 4 you really can't get past loop 3 final stage without being a true gradius god because its pretty much imposible.

    Trust me.

    But Gradius 3 arcade original is super hard and unfair think of playing that game on high loops.

  • I've been after this for years, and I've finally picked myself up a copy.

    I don't understand this loop business.

    Sorry if it's a big ass n00b question, but can someone please explain?

    Thanks :S

  • @theelostriots9999 Loop 1 is the start of the game to the end of the final boss loop 2 is back to the start until the final boss again and so on it has 256 loops

  • @METAL1ON

    after that you playstation explodes

  • What! About the Endless Loop Stage Yet is too Very Hard to Start Practice Mode

  • ....I am just a small part of what is known as Venom....

    Pieces of me are scattered throughout the cosmos....

    Eventually, one will become sentient, and exact revenge...

    You will NEVER escape the shadow of fear....

    My hatred for your kind.... IS ETERNAL!!

    Most. Epic. Gradius. Scene. EVAR.

  • .... Impossible ._.

    I haven't played this, but by looking at the bosses....

    dayum.....

  • I wonder why this game doesn't have many walkthroughs posted for it. It looks awesome.

  • Elephant... GEAR!?

    When I saw that I was like... "How the hell do you destroy that thing!?" But then I saw shoot the legs!! =D But that'd take some major practice for me to do. lol

  • This Game looks like a sick joke.

    It will cost 50.000$ in credits to beat it in the arcades.

  • Tis run is on hardest difficulty, and on loop 10.Loop means, that the game as completed and and it sends you to begining, but even harder.The more loops, the harder game is.

  • to myrio007 :

    about the hardest difficulty that's not correct ^_^

    it is correct to tell that it's on the hardest loop but not the hardest difficulty because you can't get full power ups by konami code from the start on very hard mode due it's not enabled on very hard but in normal difficulty or less the konami code works and in these runs all of them were done on normal difficulty loop 10 ^_^

    if you don't trust me i have a prove but it'll fill the comments board here XD

  • to aliultimate009

    Why do you think tat Konami Code was used? It don't need to be like that. Shinrya could, for example, start game from loop 9 and get power-ups for loop 10.

  • BECAUSE it's impossible to start the game from that loop and you need to play 14 hours straight to reach loop 10 then it will be available in stage select .. what i mean is you can't continue the loop from stage select ( you can try it by yourself i've played the game 445 hours for 6 years straight of experience ) so are you telling me that shinya played 14 hours and restarted this stage from game story and got full power ups without konami code ?

    i saw BGR & other JPN players using the code !!!

  • in other words shinya didn't show us himself using konami code and that's what i'm also doing in my videos for not to make it embarrassing to be watched X3

  • To aliultimate009

    Tsk, tsk ,tsk.I sayd something about starting from loop 9 didn't I? It's possible to start fom it so why you are mad?

  • because i've explained 100 times about it and too many guys don't get it .. back to our talk ... nope that's not correct ^_^

    you can't start loop 9 when you just turn on the PS2 without stage select ^_^

    first thing do you have the game ?

    ask any player who plays Gradius V this question directly ( is it possible to start loop 9 straight when just turning on the ps2 in game start mode or is it possible in stage select ? )

    you'll see they're answer ^_^

    i'm here only to correct those wrong infos ^_^

  • Well, I haven't actually played this game. I've played Gradius Gaiden, and it was possible in that one, so..

  • JUST as i thought XD

    i also thought about Gradius Gaiden and now you've finally spelled the beans XD

    next time don't give untested or unconfirmed info about any game since you didn't played it yet ^_^

    oh and by the way you've also made another mistake XD

    Gradius Gaiden maximum loop where the game difficulty locks is loop 8 because i've reached loop 10 in it and the game still tells me that loop 8 is the maximum selected difficulty and in Gradius Gaiden THAT is also stage select not game start XD

  • The Final Boss is Bacterion. Just like EVERY other Final Boss in the Gradius Universe (Save for Gradius Gaiden...that boss ACTUALLY attacks you), they never hit you and they die just by seeing you.

    Never the less, Gradius was a childhood favorite of mine. Still is. It took me a year to find this game. I found it on chance at gamestop used for $15...last copy too. So I snatched it. Let's all hope for more Gradius in the future! LET'S HOPE FOR GRADIUS VI!!!!

  • i think this brain thing is venom, since i believe he said something like " i was one who was named venom" or something like that. but hey, if u look at gradius 2 on the msx, venom actually fights you. so that makes 2 final bosses that fight in the gradius saga.

  • Hmmm. Okay maybe you're right about it being Venom. I think I got names mixed up. But I don't believe the MSX games are considered canon to the timeline since they differ greatly between each other. I've also never really played the MSX versions.

  • Comment removed

  • to ryudooo :

    there is actually 5 final bosses that fights you in the Gradius series which are :

    1- Gofer in Gradius II NES .

    2- Gofer in Nemesis 3 the eve of destruction MSX .

    3- DR.Venom in Nemesis 2 MSX .

    4- Zelos true form in Gradius Gaiden using 2 bosses ( intruder & brain Golem )

    5- Bacterian in Gradius III SNES .

  • @aliultimate009 In Gaiden OVUM is the final boss this stands for

    Original Visions Ultimate Monster.

    which resembles Brain Golem Zelos Force and Intruder.

    And a bit of advice Zero don't bother with people who refuse to listen saves you alot of time.

  • to JoshuaHazelwood :

    that's not correct .. it's actually cyber brain venom one of his shattered pieces in the universe since the last fight from nemesis 3 the eve of destruction if i'm not mistaken about his last appearance in that classic game ^_^

    about the reason why he don't attack you because HE IS the controller of all enemies against you from the start XD

    so he is actually facing you all the time .. that's why in the end he is defenseless ^_^

    his weapons is your enemies & bosses XD !!!

  • @JoshuaHazelwood If you pay attention to the Story Bacterion only appeared in Gradius and Gradius 3 Gradius 2 was Gofer Gradius IV was also Gofer Gradius 5 was cyber brain Venom

    Gradius 2 MSX was also Venom.

    Gaiden is OVUM.

    Original Visions Ultimate Monster.

  • The Keepers Core kinda looks like the second battle with Serges from Mega Man X2.

  • yeah but that boss was made long before mega man x2

  • Wait, this video has Beacon(my favorite core) in it, and HE DOESN'T DIE IN 5 SECONDS! OOH EMM GEE YAY

  • Desutroi za Core!

  • We love Gradius!!

  • Epic Game! FANTASTIC Job Sir!!! I Wouldn't play this good even if i dreamt about it.

  • Good job!!

  • elephant gear ftw

  • This reminds me of the Super Mario Bros 3. Review video that IGSRJ did. "Look at this.  All of this area is a dead zone. There is so much shit flying at you, that all you can do is die."

    XD

  • THAT WAS SUPER AWESOME

    but the ending a bit strange

    did crystal core appeared?

  • We love Gradius!

  • the end was wierd

  • OH YES WE DO!

  • Indeed, we love Gradius. <333

  • The Final Boss is a piece of another brain called Venom. I think Venom appeared in Gradius 2. So everytime you beat a Gradius game you kill a brain, and if a piece of that cell survives, it will regenerate until another brain is made. So, there must be another Gradius that pieces of old cell brains survived, like Zelos. But, if you play Gradius Gaiden, the last boss appears like the ball Zelos was hidden in Gradius 1 for NES.

  • I thought the final boss' name was always Bacterion? On a related note, wow. This is the easiest final boss yet - it doesn't even try to fight. He delivers a speech you can't stop, AND THEN HE INSTANTLY DIES UPON FINISHING.

  • Is this brain some future form of Dr Venom?

  • @ichigo3223  Um, I don't understand.

  • Comment removed

  • @ichigo3223

    Yeah, just like Sigma from Mega Man X is Virus always keep coming back and back and back and back and back it always repeating the same thing over and over again.

  • @ichigo3223 Gofer was the final boss of Gradius 2 and Gradius 4

    Venom comes from MSX Gradius 2 and Gradius 5.

    Bacterion

    Gofer

    Venom

    Are all cyber brains Bacterion couldn't split like Gofer and Venom which Gofer has two human spawns Gofer sisters in Otomedius.

    Zelos Force is different it is just a planet eater.

    Each time Gofer or Venom is destroyed peices are scatered across the universe and one will evolve again mustly Gofer Venom was a humanoid Green monster at first he is a traitor.

  • @ichigo3223 Gofer was in Gradius 2

  • wait,ins´t the final wimp zelos base from the 1st gradius game?

  • the last boss is siper brain venom it's impassible for anybody for not to know that .

  • well,he looked like zelos xD (sorry,i´m new in the gradius games )

  • Your skill level is off the hook. One question when you play do you look at the whole screen or what is closes to you ship....?

  • e laser makes things too easy...

  • even i don,t agree about what he said about that he defeated beacon but sososhr is right about the list of his weapons because i,ve defeated beacon all ready with that list but with only one different weapon ( the laser ) not ( e-laser ) i got an video to prove it everyone come to my channel to see the my video .

  • Damn you Beacon and ur napalm bombs scaring me and making me run into bullets

    Nice Vid ^^

  • i coulds killed that brain without getting hit too :P

  • 4:07 needs a slow-mo effect like from the Matrix! THAT WAS FREAKIN CLOSE! :O

  • It looks arcade-ish but superior grafx.

  • yes wii do n.n!!!

  • Rock & Roll!

  • what console is this on???

  • ps2 i think

  • ps2 i´s right

  • WOW just WOW. Thats an amazing video. I didn't think it was humannly possible to do some of the stuff you did. This game on normal mode was incredibly hard for me. I had to get free play to beat the game.

    Is there a way to get rid of free play after 20 hours? Its really boring to play with free play. But i want the continues.

  • Comment removed

  • you're awesome man!!! I wonder if u unlock any thing after u beat loop 10???

  • The boss fight with the Elephant Gear reminds me of the first stage music with Radiant Silvergun.

  • My hats off to you man,you're the best!

  • Watching this video makes my head hurt so much. I was bombarded with so much awesome.

    Well think about it. If the bosses were THAT crazy on loop ten ... just think about how hard the damn levels must be on loop ten. I've had trouble beating this game on freakin normal!

    Props to the OP of the vid. This video kicks ass. SHMUPS RULE!

  • He made Keeper's Core aka the infamous Gun Wall his bitch. O_O

  • He Made every boss his bitch

  • Didn't he thought? He was like Your mine now!

  • what system is this on?

  • PS2

  • is it new or what? i'll have to dig out the one i have- im sure its got a few versions on it. i'll check it out when i get back in tomorrow. cheers for that anyway

  • have fun battling Gofer!

  • i will do

  • Holy DAMN. That was pretty impressive.

  • GOFERRRRRR!!!

  • The Elephant Gear Design is really amazing. Every hinge is accurately portrayed and moves naturally. Wow.

  • the boss that has those bouncing lasers is my favorite.

  • "destroy the eye!"

    *poof*

    that was just comedic compared to the others

  • Hey! This boss music is a remixed version of gradius III

  • lol i still have the original game for Gen ^^

  • Some crap which nobody even cares about really... cuz at this point... ur worrying about the next loop and how hard its gonna be ;p

  • Wonderful video, congratulations, you're a genius.

    By the way, what does the Brain says at the end?

  • From what I remember "I am a small part of what is known as Venom. Pieces of me are scattered throughout the cosmos. Eventually, one of them will become sentient, and exact revenge. You will never escape the shadow of fear. My hatred for your kind...is eternal!"

    Or something like that.

  • played on full boost?

  • Treasure made Konami look good.

  • The final boss must be the easiest end-of-game boss ever... and the brain is always the last boss in every Gradius game. It's actually a welcome relief to get such a relaxing finish if you get through the absoultely hardcore action beforehand!

  • this is LOOP 10...

  • What loop is this?

  • You must be kidding....I play less than 10 second...I finished the whole game in normal level...I played it more than 20 hours...

  • in other words, you had to get free play to get though it on normal because you don't get the idea of grazing shots.

  • owned. get a clue LouAu.

  • You guys are blind!!!

    I played more than 10 hours

  • You havn't played ten seconds. It's obvious you don't have clue one. The sad part is here's your pathetic self again a MONTH later. Let it go, kid.

  • Another great vid...

  • For you naysayers about the player "cheating" because he got hit..

    Try playing the game yourself. The ship has a small hitbox - the cockpit, to be exact.

    What does this mean?

    This means, that if an enemy shot comes in contact with the cockpit, you die. But if you maneuver cleverly and happen to have the bullets graze the rest of your ship, you will be unharmed because the bullets did not touch the hitbox.

  • the konami code only provides 1 speed up, 4 options, missile, laser/double and force field, unlike R-type final which makes you invincible... But the hitbox in this game is so small that sometimes, even you would be surprised on how much you can dodge. Then again, it's still easy to die in this game...

  • NOOOOOOO. I see seveal times that the plane was hitted central (NOT SIDE)several times... My brother and I saw that...Watch it very very carefully!!!

  • That is most likely the compresson of the video.

  • you obviously dont play the game,

    no cheat was used,

    you're ok as long as the orb on da plane doesnt get hit, & i watched it carefully too as i play the game.

    he dodged everything....

    and bravo at it, thats a pro for ya

  • It's not "central", it's the cockpit.

  • the plane was hit many many, times...guest what?

  • the plane has a small hit box (probably about a pixel big) which is the cockpit so the rest can get hit by shots.

  • It seems this guy is using the cheating code...

  • That was intense.

  • wow x3
