R-Type Final is out today!

Ghost-Dog · Feb 4, 2004

I played some of it at EB, and it seems so far to be an amazing shooter. So those of you who haven't imported, go steal this game for $29.99. Tons of unlockables and customizable ships give this thing a lot of replay value, and the notorious R-Type difficulty is there. Just ignore the Fresh Games yellow border if you can.

I went to local EB today at around 1 pm, got the last copy in store, this will be bound to be one of the rarest and most expensive PS2 in the next few years.

A couple of months ago, I passed by the IREM head office while I was riding the train.

It was just this dingy little building... I was really let down.

They had a big IREM sign on the roof though.

Ghost-Dog · Feb 4, 2004

It's kind of sad, really. No more R-Type games. It's not like there were many in recent years, mostly only ports. The possibility of no more R-Type games is depressing. At least they went out with a bang though.

abdul · Feb 4, 2004

oh guess what fellow R-Type fans?

R-Type 3 is coming to the GBA !!!!!

just saw a preview in Nintendo Power

:buttrock:

thank you god :buttrock:

COME ON PAL VERSION!!! :multi_co:

Kirk Foiden · Feb 4, 2004

Thanks for the heads up. I really hope it's on a DVD disk. Anyway, looks like something I better check out before it disappears. I'm always getting stuff that are potential gems that may get low sales but end up being high demanded software in the future.

Well, I do miss a few things, here and there. But I try not to. It's a shooter, and if it kicks butt, I'm there.

Kid Aphex · Feb 4, 2004

anyone who doesnt snag this is an idiot.

end of discussion; go buy it IMMEDIATELY.

You bastard! I wish I was in Japan.

About the game- I got it. I chugged down to the Santa Anita Racetrack mall and traded some games for it.

Good game

Me have much big fun

Ghost-Dog · Feb 4, 2004

Thanks to whomever made this a sticky.

Frame Gride 2 · Feb 4, 2004

Its already on my list

twodeepuzzler · Feb 4, 2004

Just got my copy today. Sad that I was the only preorder at Gamestop.

Love it so far. Made it to stage 2 midboss, fucking hard as all hell. But I wouldn't have it any other way. The ships so far seem unique and have their own style to them which I like. Weapons are cool, I've always liked how R Type is a thinking man's shooter, giving you so many different ways to use your guns.

AI mode is not what I expected, but its still cool. Kinda reminds me of Carnage heart, although I'm not sure why.

Anyway, go buy it now. This is the best shooter to come along in a while, at least since Ikaruga. Can't wait to see what Gradius V has in store as well.

please no mate

I can understand you dont wanna pay more than 50 squid for a game

but shumps (and in my case all VGs) HAVE TO BE BOUGHT NTSC
do you remember how r-type delta was horriblr converted?

PAL system is shit: slow as hell, with HUGE black sides that make it un-playble
however you can find a jap or asian copy for good prices now

It'll proberbly be 60Hz, a hell of alot of Pal PS2 games are now. Out of the last 5 PS2 games i have bought only 1 has'nt had a 60hz option. Even Capcom are getting there asses into gear aswell!

Who says i don't wanna pay more than 50 quid for a game anyway?

Edit btw my PS2 is my only Pal system & there are'nt enough good Jap/US only games on it to warrant me getting it chipped. And games like Contra, Breath Of Fire and GGXX are all 60Hz. Buying NTSC only is'nt an elitest thing anymore the DC proved this with all its games being 60Hz.

lol, my bad
guess I missed something
didnt know so much stuff offering 60Hz option nowaday

anyway
I wasn't speaking about an elitist thing
but I've always been "anal" bout my collection

hard to explain, really
I dont wanna even try to
even cause of my bad english

I can only tell you
you're fucking lucky if can buy european stuff
it offer 60Hz option
and is even cheaper
good for you

Just snagged a copy at EB. The local gamestop said they weren't even going to carry it because it would be wasted shelf space :oh_no:

Anyways, I haven't played it yet, but I'm sure $30 for this game will be a steal no matter what.

Hippee · Feb 4, 2004

If only I wouldn't have had classes ALL day today - from 9 until 9 :crying:

.

I'm going to get it tomorrow hopefully - God only knows if Bloomington will get ANY copies anywhere - I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't. It is going to be such an awesome game. I am happy that over at gamefaqs, they are all saying how hard it is.

All the ships... :drool:

Everyone needs to support this right now.
