Night Raid erneut verschoben
20.09.02 - TGS: Der 2D Shooter Night Raid von Takumi wurde in Japan vom 26.09.02 auf einen unbestimmten Termin verschoben.
*****************
what i "understand" : night raid was delayed from 26/09/02 to unknown
date.
any german speakers?
anyone played it?
Ive heard its not a good game. www.gameoverdude.com has a review I think.
It's a shit game and it keeps getting delayed. No great loss.
I don't think Termin means delay, the article sounds like a confirmation of a Sept. 26th release. If the game is truly shit, I think I'll stick with picking up Metal Gunslinger GBA, which comes out the same day. *-neoQuote:

I still want to give it a shot.
When you translate it it reads that the date was moved from 9/26 to an indefinate date.
bbobb's translation is correct.
From the impressions I've heard of the game, it's no great loss.
Dear Lolo:
I want to buy a new gun. Is 400 Blue Chips enough?
Love, dog$

And slowly but surely, all the titles I was contemplating purchasing slip away into indeterminate delays. Yay.
Splurging a K on something stupid doesn't sound so far off.
Dear dog$,
Certainly! Would you like wave-shot or 8-directional fire?
And BTW, the name's Randar, not Lolo.
:( I've been waiting for quite a while. I don't care that it doesn't seem to be a very good game, I just want some more shmup in my life...

There's the review on gameoverDude.com. I actually liked NR somewhat at first, but it hasn't aged well over a year- my 3 stars is admittedly a tad generous. It deserves a 2 to be truthful. If you expect it to even come close to other Takumi shmups, you're in for a rude awakening. As Fizz has said, NR is a busted game.
One thing that is still pretty nice in Night Raid is the soundtrack. That's probably its only good feature.
Still kind of a bummer that it may not see a home release but at least it's a mediocre shmup from what everyone says.
Add my voice to the choir of harpies.
I'm not the best person to review a Takumi game (took a year for me to see GW2's beauty), but Night Raid is a utter failure in near every respect.
Good points:
Fairly smooth gameplay.
Enjoyed the chaining laser system.
As gameover said, good soundtrack.
Bad:
Annoying voice samples.
Incredibly simple enemies and backgrounds, abstract doesn't have to be a bad thing but everything in this game is instantly forgettable.
The game is a wash of solid "chunks" of color making the on screen chaos even harder to pin down.
There is no pause button. Yep, no pause.
Back to shelf for the forseeable future. *-neo
Is the PS1 version 1 player only? I was sure I had heard so.
The voice samples were kinda decent IMO- especially "BOMBER!" and "Fire!" (well, at least in the G-Net version which I've recently sold off). The "hug launcher" system is kind of aggravating- your ship cannot move as you use it. Sometimes this can result in a lot of medals dropping off screen and chilling out your multiplier.
Having pulled Giga Wing 2 off the shelf lately, I can say NR pales in comparison to it. The arcade NR does hold a constant 60 FPS... but the frame rate drops in GW2 are not that bad, really.
Generally, RayCrisis' presentation is slicker than that of NR. Stage 3's background in NR is somewhat insipidly designed. The 4th and 5th stages' BGs aren't too bad, however.
For their next shooter, Takumi needs to go back to Naomi hardware. I'd like for them to bring out a Kyukyoku Tiger (Twin Cobra) 3.
