@@NCC-0000 I'm still thankful that this exist for the public. I'm very certain that they are getting tons of feedback from fans saying that they want to play a complete version of this game, but I worry that they wouldn't get all the original talent back together to see this happen, or maybe it wouldn't follow the original vision. Though the times were becoming progressive and working under Taito meant they were made to shift focus to the 3D gen, I think we can all agree that when it came to 32-bit vs Low-Poly 3D, the majority of fans would go with the Rayforce/R-Gear style especially in this current time now.
i think full version might be possibly but it just not the same as we have now. probably it something like a "Remake" with Dariusburst Engine. (if that happen im still really grateful)
That initial transition before the start of the stage and the heavy use of polygonal motifs on things like enemy gibs, the boss' projectiles, and the boss' weak point make me wonder if R-GEAR's plot was supposed to involve a cyberattack on the Con-Human, like what RayCrisis ended up doing. Not much imagery that'd be pertinent to the Secilian ascendancy crisis plotline RayStorm would go with here.
@JamesWilliams723 also the music tittlle called "Nomads from the ether world" explaining that the location that R-Gear stage 1 set is something like a Artificial Planet that human live since Earth already invaded by AIs in Rayforce timeline.
@JamesWilliams723 In terms of game design, it's actually pretty common for later entries in a series to explore cut content and concepts from earlier entries too.
@JamesWilliams723 Ah, so a bit of a mix! It's a little surprising, I always thought RayStorm moving away from the Con-Human made it a bit of an outlier.
Yeah, I hate when companies do things like that. My only solace is that while this is an interesting curiosity its not exactly a full game... and I'm sure someone will dump the rom of it someday.
Hmm, i think that this game story is sequel of the metal black. In 8:41 , you can see half of earth, and in metal Black's ending, earth was split in half. And this game's bgm, feels like metal black in 5:52.
can't believe this is already selling for 10,000 yen for a used copy. add 10,000 yen for postage and it's $100 to overseas... it was literally releasd 6 months ago. pretty annoyed about this. the shmup community only about 17 years ago was not like this at all.

This really is a thing of beauty!
Interesting. While R-Gear has R-Gray 2's lightning lock on, it still doesn't let players lock on to enemies that can be hit by the normal shot.
Although I didn't get satisfied, at least R-Gear got a little tribute for its main inspiration for Raystorm.
I hope we can get a full version of r gear.
I wish for that too, but I wouldn't hold my breath for it.
Probably that is everything that Taito managed to program and salvage of the beta/game

@@RuV9999Or maybe Taito could make a game inspired by this prototype but more refined. I would love to play this.
It should become a full game.

if you see when the ship spawn is pretty similiar like how Waveriders(Raycrisis's ship) Spawn after dying.

@JamesWilliams723 but Raycrisis is the Prequel of Rayforce...

Sadly it only contains one stage, really hope Taito rework on this game with modern graphics
Yeah it became Raystorm 😂
@@KarnovJr sadly raystorm didn't have those soundtrack and stages. only adapt it the R gear ship into R Gray 02 and R Gray 01
Anyone knows title of bgm?
Nomads in ether world

Nice play😊
Nice Game nice Song
So THIS is what I'm missing from my digital copy.
...and the physical copy unless you preordered from Strictly Limited.
really? it's not in the basic japanese editions? dang... @@MrRawnch
@@ian.swift.31614 I got my copy from PlayAsia. Game isn't on the physical copy.

R-Gear demo version.

or maybe metal black exist in both Darius and Ray trilogy universe?
@@RuV9999 hmm, maybe.
That's a good thought that ray series is a prequel to the entire Darius series but was never realized due to changing direction.
Looks more like just the upper half of the Earth is facing the opposite direction of the sun.
@@drlight6677ooh, but why is there the background where the shadow should be?
Is it included in the japanese physical version released today ?
I would like to know this aswell
Iirc, it's only available in the Strictly Limited Pre Order
AFAIK, It makes an appearance in RayStorm HD
@@alster724 what does it mean ? My question was "is it included in the cartridge, or is it only on the forthcoming SLG physical release ?"
It's only available as a download only in certain limited edition package
Player 1 1:04
Player 2 5:25
