"stating incorrectly that it was cropped"
With that and the fact no one has mentioned a "huge framerate problem."Quote:
It shows a complete view of the playfield horizontally but in essence you are only seeing around 60% of the vertical aspect.

Forget what you heard about the arcade version being choppy in places. GWG PS2 runs smooth
But have you played it yet?Quote:

So, how are you liking the scoring system? I'm guessing it plays most like the first game, right?
It feels like an extension of the first Gigawing in alot of respects but at the same time is a huge step backwards, The character of the series and direction in this one is missing and the game has an overly generic feel and doesn't have that instant appeal that arcade games need.
I was initially told it feels like an unfinished game and after giving it a few hours yesterday its an apt description.
This does not sound the least bit positive. Color me less than enthused now. Boo :(
As I understand, the arcade version is really bad on framerate at times. There is a framerate issue which I am able to take- a 30 FPS frame limit which was put in to avoid the major jags that Type-X has (though Type-X is upgradable). To dump the Radeon and put in the X800XT and the Pentium 4 may make it run better on the Type-X (Celeron doesn't compare). If there's a PC version later on I may nab it.Quote:

There's a fairly huge time bonus when bosses go down, so you may not want to milk like you do in the first one- just keep shooting the boss between uses of RF and grab the flake-off medals with all the others. Killing a boss makes all onscreen enemy fire turn into medals ala Dodonpachi. Unfortunately the final part of the boss explosion is ghetto looking.
By the way- you better stay away from the original mode and stick to arcade. Original does seem to be less smooth and you'll notice bad bullet flicker.
