I rather hope for a Xbox shooter since I don't want them to put down $14.5k for a PS2 dev kit when the Xbox dev kits are much cheaper and the Xbox is easier to program for which means better programming = better game for us.Quote:

I chose Thunder Force 3 (a.k.a. Thunder Spirits on the SNES) I got this game way back when the SNES was still in full force. Me and my brother played it to death. My second favorite would have to be Thunder Force 5 for the Playstation. Its wicked hard, but nice to look at and lots of interesting enemy desgins and such. I have never played Thunder Force 1, and I have only played a smattering of Thunder Force 2 at a Funcoland once. I was very confused by the overhead-ness of it, at the time I had only played Thunder Spirits and Thunder Force 5. Lightning Force is Ok. I own it but was no blown away by it. I am not a huge fan of the vertical scrolling on some levels, and I don't like the level design as much as the others. There definatly needs to be a new Thunder Force game, there just needs to be.
I would just like point out that anyone playing III-V on anything other than Sega hardware missed the boat.
I've only completed 3 & 5, so those 2 are my favorite.
Do I really suck, or is Thunder Force III hard as crap?
Actually, that happens in the Saturn version as well.Quote:
PSX version has some added graphical details, like the spinning of the ship if you change direction quickly.
Yeah, you can see a city.Quote:
Apparently Human Road looks quite a bit better in the Saturn version (I hear you can actually see a city of some sort? the PSX version looks like complete shit, and I honestly can't imagine it looking much better).
TF5 is my favorite.
I might have picked Lightening Force, but the sloooooooowdown really ruins my enjoyment of the game.
Rob: There's some additional parallax in the Human Road stage on the SS version that makes it look quite a bit better. Also, the spinning animation is present in the SS version.
I prefer Thunder Force IV.
TFIV has more stages than TFV, and it has quite a bit more challenge and overall intensity. The bosses are more kickass in IV, unless you're comparing them to V's Guardian Knight. TFV's stage designs also are a bit lacking.
Ampersand- Hang in there with regard to TFIII. It's not easy, but it can be mastered.
"I've only completed 3 & 5, so those 2 are my favorite."
and funny,
I just got TF2 off ebay a few nights ago for .99 complete(sunfaded cover)
I've wanted to start a ThunderForce V highscore thread for some time, but figured not too many people would bother with it.
Well, let's see...
