Violent Seed gameplay [HD]

The SHMUPS history of Violent Seed:
Violent Seed was an edge-of-your-seat 3D shooter available exclusively for the Sony PlayStation. The game featured intense 3D scrolling landscapes with enemies that get right up in your face, as you battle your way through the worlds most prized landmarks. As an alien team, taking back technology that was stolen, it's your job to face the worst the world can throw at you. Human ingenuity and alien weaponry combine to challenge your gameplay skills to the max in this all-out trip through hell.
According to the programmer's website, Violent Seed was cancelled because... In November of 1996, Viacom decided to close down Viacom New Media's administrative and marketing offices in New York. All management responsibilities were devolved to Virgin Interactive and management in the Chicago development offices. In January of 1997 a new General Manager joined Viacom NewMedia in Chicago, also known as Rabid Entertainment. A couple of weeks into his tenure, he was told that the company must become self-sustaining and would be spun-off as a separate entity. In April of 1997 it became apparent that Virgin Interactive was not interested in bringing the company into their organization, and a buyer was sought for Rabid. At the same time, it was also announced that Virgin Interactive would be put on the block, following a commitment to shareholders that Viacom was pulling out of the games business.
When no buyers were forthcoming, Rabid went through a series of downsizing operations to become more attractive to potential buyers. When this didn't have the desired effect, the final decision was made to close the company and call it a day.
In mid-August 1997, the company laid-off most of their production workforce, including the entire Violent Seed development team. Ultimately Violent Seed was unable to find a potential publisher.
Although this game was still an early work in progress, Violent Seed had so much potential and would have become one of the better SHMUPS on the PlayStation. There is a great amount of detail such as cars exploding in the air or humans running away on fire from a bombed car.
