R-Type is a side scrolling shoot-em-up arcade game produced by Irem in 1987. It spawned a long series of sequels and spinoffs for Nintendo systems that are still being released today.
In this interview, the small team of developers for the original title discuss the issues they encountered while making the game. They also drop a few pieces of interesting trivia. Here are some examples:
• The look of ship with its attached Force power up got its inspiration from dung beetles
• The programmers were very aware of the existence of another space shooter, Konami's Gradius
• Developers worked hard to come up with outlandish and interesting designs for weapons
• The "R" in R-Type stands for ray, because there are many types of ray weapons in the game
Hanzala from eXputer: "Contra: Operation Galuga is a classic revival done right, but why hasn't Konami done the same yet for the bigger and more popular Castlevania?"
Slowdown. Let them get these suikoden games done first. Alot of us are still waiting for those
well, the new C ontra was made by Wayforward, who have been taking sooooo many of these classic franchises and making new iterations of them. Imo they aren't very good at it. And I don't see operation galuga being a large enough success to possibly give them Castlevania.
Today Konami announced its financial results for the first nine months of the fiscal year, related to the period between April 2023 and December 2023.
Horrible news more proof todays "gamer" is just a cow ready to be milked.
That mgs collection is no better than my ps3 copy but my ps3 copy has 0 server restrictions i always roll my eyes when reviewers or these new "youtube gamer" channels show off the information books on a webpage via a trash in game browser or the lack of controller support like it s a good thing.
Also GOG still has a better version mgs 1 or use the duck ps1 emulator.
Well time for the peace walker remaster pc port 480p 20fps needs a rtx 3090 or 6900xt to run with dunovo konami account then a govt id check.
All the bonus content on the new collection needs a konami server to load them up if you pull your lan cord only the games will work but that is temp as those games are digital goods.
When i said digital i know there is a disc version games are on the disc i was referring to the pc version and the patches after the fact but yes ps5 has a disc version.
Here is the online bit

Several sources tell us that Konami is still working on a remake of the first installment, although right now Metal Gear Solid Delta is a priority for the studio.
As long as it's not like Twin Snakes. And I hope they have the option to keep the original PSone voice tracks, which is a huge part of the appeal for me. The Twin Snakes voice tracks sounded worse, and had lame script changes as well.
Its probably like resident evil 2 remake.
for those that do not know fans remade that game until the garage scene but then was shutdown by capcom a few years later bam RE2 hd remaster.

for a reboot of r-type. Final was good but i couldnt help think there was more to give than what we got over the course of the series.
I do have to say though, r-type dimensions is actually a trip to play in the psudo isometric pov.
I want a new r-type as much as i want a new gradius and thunderforce.....bring back the shmups.
i would give anything to play a NEW R-TYPE,GRADIUS,SILPHEED,DARIUS TWINS in HD on ps3 not a damn DLC on psn but a real physical disc game.
