Microsoft Wants Radiant Silvergun For XBLA

[baphomet_irl]

OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD!!!

that would be the most awesome thing everest!

It is the holy grail of games I've always wanted to play - I dont have a chipped Saturn, and I cant afford a proper copy, neither SSF or Mame emulate it satisfactorily for me either

please please please make this happen

Just give it an HD treatment with upgraded dolby sound and there ya go.

How about just leaving it alone and letting people enjoy it the way it is?

do not want, will bring down the reason to brag about the original game, the fact it cost so much XD

Do want, elitist collectors need to get bent.

Seconded. Games are meant to be played by the masses, not collected like fine art for bragging rights.

I'd love to believe it would get enough support on XBLA. Ikaruga sold average at best and it is better known than this title in the mainstream. All 20,000 360 owners who care about retro shmups would buy it day one. Thats about it.

everybody of the board should be crossing our fingers for such a release. or we should be writing letters to treasure. lol

It'd be a terrific choice for a rerelease, just by merit of making the game more accessible, but they'd have to fix up those polys to get my dough. RSG is meant to be a "blockbuster" type of game, and while it still generally looks fantastic, the bosses could certainly do for a makeover. For it to have the same impact now as it did back in the day, they'd have to make it sparkle again.

When you consider the fact that the Saturn controller had one of the greatest d-pads in history, and pair that with the fact that the 360 simply doesn't have an optimal button layout for the game, there would have to be some work done to make it a worthwhile purchase for those who already have the game. And despite the price, that's no small amount of people.

I'd be a tad leery at Treasure getting carried away though, and altering it too much... but then again, if they made it a completely new game that would be even more awesome!

Once again, i ask myself........ why did i get the ps3? DAMN IT!

[LoneCynic]

I would like to see it happen. Never have had an opportunity to play this game before. Heard dozens claim it to be amazing, and knew a handful of people who claimed to have either played it or owned it. I'd like to play it, but never wanted to even attempt the ebay sniping wars to try and get the game for my Saturn. Would be cool to have it on Live Arcade along with the other great Shooters I'm currently playing on Xbox 360. Now, if they could get Raiden DX on Live Arcade as well, that would be awesome.

env963 - Why did you get a PS3? For the Shooter fan, Xbox 360 is where it is at my friend.
