Radiant Silvergun - Arcade ST-V - 26.467.600 pts

Story of the game: An octahedron-shaped artifact called the Stone-Like, along with a non-functioning robot, has been unearthed. Earth's secretary of defense, Chief Igarashi, orders the Stone-Like to be examined. Meanwhile, up in Earth's atmosphere, inside the spaceship Tetra, Commander Tengai issues Buster, Reana and Gai to test out the three new Silvergun prototype fighter crafts. Back on Earth, Igarashi relays information on the Stone-Like and the robot, claiming it has the serial number 00104, the exact same number of the robot aboard the Tetra, CREATOR 00104. Tengai cannot believe this be just a coincidence (partly due to Igarashi proving that it is, indeed the same robot), and has the three Silvergun pilots on standby. Suddenly, the Stone-Like starts to act up and destroys the facility containing it. As it overwhelms the Earth defense forces, the Stone-Like wipes out all life on Earth in a magnificent flash. Only the crew of the Tetra remain unharmed, as they were in satellite orbit. One year after the Stone-Like destroyed Earth, the Tetra, running low on supplies, makes its return to Earth.
The story is now told non-linearly, beginning with the third stage of the game, entitled Return. The Tetra flies back to Earth, and the three pilots, in their respective Silverguns, are sent out to investigate. Stage 2, Reminiscence, is actually a flashback sequence, where the Tetra and the Silverguns head to the Earth defense headquarters, where Chief Igarashi is, prior to the Stone-Like's attack. Knowing it's impossible to stop the Stone-Like, Igarashi has the Tetra and the Silverguns to make for satellite orbit, and evade the Stone-Like. The escape is successful, but the same cannot be said for Earth and its inhabitants.
Back in the present, the Stone-Like, now aware of the Tetra and Silverguns' presence, uses its power and commands its own manufactured weapons to destroy them. Stage 4, known as Evasion, now takes place. Seeing a need to know more about the Stone-Like, Tengai has Creator, the robot aboard the Tetra, to head for the Earth defense headquarters and gather information about it, while the Tetra and the Silverguns hold off the Stone-Like's forces. However, the Stone-Like sees through their plan and heads straight for the headquarters as well. Stage 5, Victim, begins, as two towering battleships lumber over the headquarters, intending to prevent Creator from succeeding its mission. The Silverguns hastily destroys the cruisers, but the Stone-Like appears and levels the headquarters. Just before the building collapses, Tengai pilots the Tetra and holds up the structure from falling, allowing Creator to board Reana's Silvergun to safety. Catching the Stone-Like off-guard, Gai goes on a suicidal run and attempts to destroy the artifact, but fails to do so, as his Silvergun vanishes upon contact with it. Tengai orders Buster and Reana to head for space, while he makes a last ditch effort and attempt to stall the Stone-Like, just as Gai did. With all seemingly lost, Buster persuades Reana to join him and try to destroy the Stone-Like. Before they head out into the space, Creator asks that they leave it one thing from them...
The Stone-Like, having located Buster and Reana, engages them in space combat, while briefly explaining that because of humanity's constant nature to war and destroy, it had to bring about the apocalypse. Stage 6, Origin, concludes with the Stone-Like, having been defeated, now transports the two Silverguns and its pilots back in time, to the year 100000 BC. Stage 1, Link, has the Stone-Like unleash its power in a cataclysmic explosion. As Buster and Reana make an attempt to escape the blast, they are swallowed up in the blinding light, seemingly destroyed. The ending concludes with Creator, 20 years into the future, having secluded itself inside an underground facility on Earth, now brimming with life again, creating a clone of Buster and Reana, from their strands of hair, the thing that he asked from both of them. The Stone-Like is now deactivated, its power exhausted from the last battle.
In its last moments before its energy fades, Creator explains that the Stone-Like is the guardian of Earth, and sees to it the advancement of the planet, its inhabitants and their way of living. If it deems that things must start over, the Stone-Like will destroy Earth and recreate it again, until humanity realizes their nature and change before the Stone-Like delivers the consequences. Creator's purpose was always to ensure that mankind will survive, through their clones, and with these words, Creator stops functioning. As the story ends, the Buster and Reana clone start to wake from their cloning tubes.
It should be noted that the story of Radiant Silvergun is only available in the Saturn Mode of the Sega Saturn version of the game. Arcade Mode and the original arcade version of Radiant Silvergun do not include any cutscenes or dialogue save for a slideshow at the end of the game consisting of stills from the ending video.

Wait, Stone-Like? They're related to those that one fights on Ikaruga?

[@gabriel3903]

@@mrblackjacker32.03 yes the last boss

[@mrblackjacker32.03]

Are Ikaruga and Radiant Silvergun on the same universe or they are parallel realities?

Where's James Rolfe when you need him?

[@JewelOfSoul]

This is supposed to be the arcade version from 1998 right? And the video was uploaded on 2014. However at 53:13 it says 2015/NAMI.
What kind of time travel was this?

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I know you're probably joking but it's just a pseudonym JP developers uses to prevent headhunting from rival studios. Unless there really is someone named Gonzo who animated all of the games cutscenes himself.

[@alexk8792]

@@mostverticalproductions4808 Gonzo is an animation studio. They also did the animated cutscenes for Silhouette Mirage.

[@mostverticalproductions4808]

I know, I was just poking fun at the comment.

[@alexk8792]

@@mostverticalproductions4808 Right, right.

[@JewelOfSoul]

I think I was confused because at that timemark reads "1998/NAMI" (year the game was released) and then reads "2015/NAMI" (17 years in the future), and I wondered why is that year in the future written there. But after reading your comments, noble sires, I guess those numbers are just codes or pseudonyms, like you pointed out. Like "person 1998 from NAMI" and "person 2015 from NAMI".

[@solarflare9078]

So this was the game the Saturn version was based upon. Wow. The Saturn did a really good job here.

[@Flameb0]

Why do you mostly use that blue lightning attack? Does it deal more damage than the others weapons or something?

[@ikagura]

John Hansonn I think it brings the most points

Don't want to be that guy but.
I just don't get it of why you let a couple enemy get away and still got a perfect destruction rate?

[@neptuniumchloride8434]

that "destruction rate" is solely for boss section. A perfect destruction rate means that you destroyed all parts of one boss.

[@ikagura]

J'adore ce jeu

[@darklagoon1]

pourquoi le player2?

[@ariello1343]

Porque el audio es solo un sonido como si alguien estuviese meando en el baño ?

[@floreaaikyuu]

por alguna razón el video esta corrupto, curioso porque antes no sonaba así

[@julianseph842gamez5]

Probably because the recording didn't capture the audio properly. So that's why you hear those waterdrop-like sounds.

[@johnvida3426]

I Think It Has Something To Do With Some Of The Sounds Not Adjusted Correctly...

[@ReverendSyn]

Well that was a crappy ending
