need help to ID mech

[MSW]

Got sent a email with this image attached ... it looks cool IMHO, a bit Cruise Chaser Blassty like (see my avatar)

Is this from one of the Rayforce games? maybe Raycrisis?

Just wondering if there is more where this came from...

Thanks

might be fan art. looks like its based off a vf-4

I don't recall any transforming vehicles in the Ray series.

It sorta has a cross between a Orbital Frame, something from Macross and Vanguard.

the only transforming mechs in the Ray series that i really recall were in RayStorm and they were bosses that did not look like this. i am not sure where this is from.

emailer sent me this too which lead me to think it was from rayforce...

edit: nevermind, found the webpage these came from: http://www.ne.jp/asahi/curse/666/gallary.html

apparently its some Raystorm fan art ... still looks cool though

maybe it was inspired by the ship from the Ray series, i have all 3 and it does not look like any of the ships in the game, based on prehaps but not from. it is probably a fan make , might I add a very nice one at that. unless taito is making a 128 bit sequel that we do not know about "drool" I usually keep a eye on the shooter genre because I like it so much but i saw nothing of a sequel to raycrisis.

I'm a big Shoot-em-up fan myself...haven't gotten Raycrisis yet ...but I have the others....which is why I thought these might have come from that game seeing how the one ship is labeled R-Grey and all that...in the end its just fan redesigns, really nice ones too

but if you like the rayforce games...hunt down a little PC basied shooter titled Kemui ... its by a little Japanese developer that goes by the name of SITER SKAIN. tis a most excellent game, one of my all time favorites

i have heard of it, right now i am heavily into Gradius V , this year they are also releasing for the PS2 Giga Wing Generations and Psyvariar 2 the Will to Fabricate two very awesome looking games, Raiden III is also going to be released in the Arcades so i am " hoping" we will see a conversion of that to (though i am not expecting because they have yet to release any of the Raiden Fighters series)

What if they go GameCube or XBox instead of PS2?

Then it'll be 64- or 32-bit.

shooters like this never seem to be released on the Xbox so i do not think you will see it there, though GC has Ikaruga which is great. i am more wanting a sequel for the PS2 because that is the only system I have.

How is Gradius V anyway? Honestly, I never really got into that gradius/Nemesis series much...I'm more a vertical scrolling Psyiko/Cave/Treasure type fan....and honestly after Radiant Silvergun, Ikaruga, Mars Matrix and the like..."power-ups" are just...well ...boreing

Anyway, I haven't graduated beyond my Dreamcast as of yet...With Ikaruga, Mars Matrix, Gigawing, Gun Bird...even newer releases like Boarder Down and Psyvariar2...it's still holding up well for being such an "obsolite" console

Course, I'll never get rid of it either as its home to the insanely brillient Bangai-O (I've not played the N64 version yet...but I don't see how it could top the DC version)...prolly my favorite game of all time

LOL!...just remembered last year my oldest nephiew (he was 14 at the time) came over to visit and we played around a bit with Phantasy Star Online...he started getting cocky about beating games, how good his "skillz" were and a games hasn't been made that he could beat...so I plopped in Mars Matrix...explained how to play...at first he was reluctant cause it sounded so simple...but he quickly found out that simple does not mean easy, not by a long shot!

I'm still amazed at how many new titles are coming out for the DC, though. It's like someone forgot to tell anyone that it's dead.

Hell, Sega doesn't EXIST anymore after the Sammy merger and the DC is still getting games.

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Nothing like handing a thoroughly modern gamer a dose of REAL gaming.

...

So, is he scheduled for Ninja Gaiden NES next?

Or are you gonna baffle him with something old-school, like Asteroids or Space Invaders. Game hasn't been made he can't beat... *cackles evily*
