New Strikers game announced.
>City Connection and Zerodiv have announced Strikers 2020, a new entry in the Strikers shoot ’em up series that began with Strikers 1945 in 1995

The guys behind this did some Switch ports of some of the Psikyo games, and also consist of some ex-Psikyo stuff. Hopes up for this one.

I am a big fan of a lot of other manic shooters from the Raiden Fighters series to Dimahoo to Cho Ren Sha 68K. But I have always had a very difficult time getting into Psikyo games for some reason. They just feel really frustrating to me, even when I can get over the insta-laser shit they sometimes put on bosses.
b9d14b No.16479668
Plus their soundtracks have always been boring as hell. Probably some of the dullest music in a genre known for games with amazing music.

Also post you're Strikers rankings.
For me, 1945 II > 1945 > 1945 III.
Wasn't a fan of tech bonuses, the planes, or the modern aesthetics of the third game very much. My favorite Psikyo overall though is Gunbird 2, if this turns out good I hope they do a GB3.

Are there any other Shmups out there like Caladrius Blaze that allow you to hold a ton of weapons at once instead of just regular shot/concentrated shot? It was really fun having to figure out what weapon was ideal for the situation, It reminded me of Classic FPS like DOOM in a way. Also giving you lewds of the bosses as a reward for gettin gud at beating them was a nice touch.

The best tip I can give is don't look at the bullets, look at the space between the bullets, you will see escape routes open up before your very eyes that you would never see before. That revelation improved my survivability in Shmups significantly. I still have to memorize the last two stages in most Shmups though as they're pretty much designed that way to milk as much quarters as possible.

M2 want to maintain their brand of perfectionist ports. With PC they said they have to keep in mind many multiple hardware configurations which would take a lot of time and special PC-focused expertise they don't have to get 100% accurate. They even put an Armored Police Batrider port on hold just because they couldn't find a way to recreate some things 100% accurately from the original.

Why would you use emulated game when there is a native PC version which also might get better options like high resolution? It's like saying why do you want DOS games to work on modern systems when you can use DosBox. It's always better to have native games for PC unless developer fucks it up.

It is, just like arcade collection. Those collections are emulator packaged with ROMs. Can't even remap control, the shittiest ROM collection so far, not even SF30th anniversary collection was as terrible, though it's a piece of shit too.
>>16497239
>forcefully attached to cancer like Steam
The only meaningful thing it's actually attached to without your incompetent tech bullshit is Windows or in some circumstances Linux system. Steam doesn't change the fact that a native Windows/Linux software which can also use better potential of your real modern hardware is better than emulation, something what actually tries to imitate different piece of hardware and/or operating system and thus the emulator itself is trying to utilize your hardware to imitate another hardware, resulting in an emulated game using more resources, the biggest downside is accuracy and in some cases hardware can be weak, hence a game designed for it usually is dumbed down. This is very true for handheld consoles. Do you know why people play multiplats on stronger hardware? Because even they're not retarded like you to realize that in most cases those versions are usually superior on stronger hardware compared to handheld consoles, for example.
You can hate Steam all you want, but please don't spew such bullshit about emulation being superior to software which works on PC hardware natively. This is simply ridiculous. You don't emulate Steam games unlike you do consoles which have the worst kind of protection by the way: locked hardware, but I guess you're totally fine with this. The only exception when emulation is good is when developer is too retarded/lazy to make proper PC port of their games or when there is no better alternative, otherwise the only software superior to native personal computer software is the one which has no copy protection or DRM.
