  • Sure Vanark is its official western title, but Astro Trooper Vanark is cooler.
    Time for some rail shooting on the PlayStation/PS1/PSX/PSone.

    Hey Irish Shun, I don't think I've told you that I really appreciate you recording games with all the original appearance and resolution. Too often when I look up gameplay the people recording it used all sorts of geometry correction and the highest resolution they could squeeze out of their emulator, and it just leaves me wondering what the games ACTUALLY looked like.

      Ah thank you! I get why people like playing them in wide screen and upscaling to 4K and what not, but 4:3 and low res is the only way for me 😁

    I've never understood complaints about clones popping up on rival consoles. A Star Fox clone on a Sony console gives those guys something to chew on if they don't own an N64!
    This looks cool, maybe a bit over ambitious but fun still. Still gotta try Omega Boost as you recommended it! Great review buddy :D

    • @SeanSeanson

      Depends on people outlook I suppose. Some don't like seeing games take any direct influence from other games, but it's pretty much impossible in some cases.
      Definately get around to Omega Boost someday you won't regret it! Appreciate you watching as always :)

    I love the idea of the story sections between rail shooter stages! I feel like this is something that could be fleshed out even further - y'know, include dialogue trees, multiple endings and such, and... Wait. Am... Am I proposing a Rail Shooter RPG? Moreso than Panzer Dragoon Saga?!
    Also, Mario's Picross is my 'quiet evening' game, full stop, so I feel you there.
    Lastly - Finally, some sweet, sweet Omega Boost! Yeah, it's couched in a video about another game, but it's finally made a proper appearance! My day has come!

    • @SeanSeanson
      @SeanSeanson  2 роки тому +1

      I think you've described the game OG Panzer Dragoon fans wanted instead of Saga almost perfectly.
      Was nice to get Omega Boost into a video somewhere, although I'm still keeping it attached to the wheel of games for its longform debut. That'll be a fun day :)

    This goes up with Silent Bomber and WipEout Fusion as one of the most unnecessarily expensive games on Amazon, and it’s worse than both of them because at least some sellers will part with it for just about 80 USD. Everyone who’s selling this on Amazon wants hundreds for it. The retro game market is truly volatile

    Thanks for showing me a rail shooter I didn't know about! Let me repay the favor!
    A while ago I found a really obscure PS1 rail shooter game that's actually being sold on steam (straight up just an iso file you can use with any emulator since the one it comes with isn't very good hehe) called "Viper", it's a dark (literally) rail shooter where you pilot a pretty cool helicopter with an interesting mechanic where your weapon upgrades accumulate, meaning each time you pick up a laser upgrade then your laser improves, same with missiles etc. I wouldn't call it a very good rail shooter but I liked some of its ideas and bosses. Give it a look if it sounds interesting to you, but if you do for the love of your thumb use a controller with a turbo button XD
    PS You earned yourself a sub ;)

    • @SeanSeanson
      @SeanSeanson  2 роки тому +1

      And thank you for watching :)
      Funnily enough I first came across Viper just a few week ago, as you said it is REALLY obscure, maybe one of the least known PAL releases.
      It's really cool to see it on steam even if it's just a straight ISO of the PS1 release, but apparently it's related to Tunnel B1 as well, almost like a pseudo-sequel in a way.
      I'll probably get around to making a video on it sooner or later, really seems up my alley!

    • @dinokaiser
      @dinokaiser 2 роки тому +1

      ​@@SeanSeanson I honestly wouldn't mind seeing more straight ISO re-releases of games given how good PS1 emulators have gotten recently.
      The Steam release of Tunnel B1 actually has both the DOS release AND the PS1 release which is pretty neat.
      Finding out that the PS1 had a bunch of rail shooters has been a treat for me so i've been really enjoying your content :D

    Rewatching this I do have to say that I've played Jupiter Strike. I wasn't fond of it, but I did beat it.
    I vaguely recall thinking the OST was relatively sleep inducing and needing to allerion roll a lot in later stages.
    Also Omega Boost but we already sing its praises enough.
    I did play a bit of Vanark years ago but just never went too far in it. Not that it was bad, it just didn't hold me.

    I only heard about this game talked about briefly about its story sections, but I didn't know Bit town and Asmik Ace did it. I know them for the Sidewinder games, which are released as Lethal skies in the west. They're janky, slightly simmier Ace Combat clones that I liked.
