Thunder Force V 5 PS1 HD Full Run (long play) No Miss Hard Mode (Progressive)

[@MiiDev69]

I never understood the significance of Rynex coming to fight you in mission 5 until I read the lore and played Thunder Force 4. Then it hit me and I realized the genius behind that boss fight.

[@acid360delta7]

Thanks for the heads up, your comment actually got me to read the lore, and holy shit was I missing some huge bits of information from 4, 5, and 6 that I never knew about.

[@FFXI_Addict]

@@acid360delta7 for real, Thunder Force has a better and deeper lore and story than most freaking RPGs can manage.

[@acid360delta7]

@@FFXI_Addict Well, considering 6 is only in Japanese, most of that lore has a language barrier around it. Hell, without a timeline, I had no idea what the hell was going on for half the series.

[@KGRAMR]

Better still, it has more consistency than most other shoot 'em up series. Thunder Force never rebooted its storyline, which started from the first entry on Japanese microcomputers

[@icanttrustasoul.]

*still have mine when i was a kid, replay value is high.*

[@hippoloopo]

I almost cried when I finally found this gameplay. Thank you so much!

17:30 exciting moment...good music with memory

[@keralaja]

best moment of this game

[@scarfaceAC2]

Despite going by Rynex on youtube, Vambrace is my favorite ship in the series, and possibly my favorite fictional vehicle period. Love the effect when using the over-weapon.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

I did like that over weapon feature and yes Vambrace is a great ship. I wish I knew about the models when they came out.

[@MadMike1978racing]

Even though this video is around a decade old, the Hunter is still my favorite weapon all-time

[@kirgeez-gaming]

I have newer videos of this game using the hidden ships if you're interested.

[@Spawn-wt6ul]

Thunder Force, Gradius and R-Type FTW!!!!!!!

[@silvadossantos6803]

Spawn 1210 einhander,strikers,etc.

[@tokyobassist]

I just watched this entire thing from beginning to end with my headphones on. That was like watching an epic movie. The music, the scenes and the masterful playing on your end. Shit was noice!

[@AlmarAZL9S]

Kirgeez I WISH there was a KZbin counter of counting how many times I revisted a video because I come here at least YEARLY at best! Sometimes more! 👍 I already liked like many years ago LOL! Man it's been 12 years! DAMN! This series NEEDS to come to modern consoles or PC stuff like Steam ESPECIALLY TF5 & 6! I suck at shmups / STGs but I love things about them that MAKES me want to purchase them! PLEASE some publisher make these come to modern generations! I WANT to purchase them!

[@jamesroman9576]

Something was lost in the transition to polygon-based graphics. Thunder Force IV looked incredible.

[@LAZY-RUBY]

Yeah. Shame all the amazing music has to go with such boring visuals.

[@Arthur_mungus]

it's not so bad

[@grayfox069]

Admitedly when it came to side scrolling shoot-em ups polygon based transitions werent amazing unless you were to look at R-TYPE DELTA. that looked amazing but you could tell it still werent there yet.

[@CrazyJGaming_]

Rising Blue Lightning is STILL some of the best music EVER.

[@thettruest]

No.

[@Linkonpark100]

thetruest Yes

[@Illegal_hermit]

Basically on stage 5, you automatically change your ship from RVR-01 Gauntlet into RVR-02 Vambrace that equipped with the new weapons. If you play time attack mode using RVR-02 Vambrace, It's the default weapon.

[@drewminati]

Damn listen to the name entry music, I would freakin play it again and again with this soundtrack, love the thunderforce series

[@vanlam2812]

Miss the ending music long years ...! THANK YOU!!!!!

[@Slayer3915]

You included the original PS1 startup?! I dig it

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Using the super weapon/while at close range makes them go down even faster.

[@kristoffercedric4565]

Was looking for this game! Glad I found it in a pdf version of my old EGM issues.

[@BronxShalashaska]

This....RayStorm and RayCrisis.......Godly!!!

[@gusnunez1254]

O_O What a badass playthrough! Almost half a billion points!

[@MadMike1978racing]

19:07 - It's that fighter from Thunder Force IV. 19:47 - Also the theme music

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Yes

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Certain weapons allow you to kill enemies faster closer you are to them especially free range.

[@ZetueiRetroGames]

Nice!! The PlayStation version seems to be also interesting.

[@artemisiabellashcroft5119]

due to thunder force v is my favorite, so i'm preparing to write down the thunder force light novel/manga already! ^_^

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Nice!!

[@999lazerman]

Free range is da best!

[@rynexmkIII]

[@blazingsoulhunter2862]

Gotta get this on my PS3 before it’s too late.

My favorites Ps1 shooters. Einhander, Raystorm and ThunderForce V.

[@alster724]

I remember now. I was able to surpass the Guardian's Knight but not the mannequin boss.

[@jayson4404]

this game looks dope I remember the reviews not being great

[@cngmorgan]

Great!!! Simply Great!!!

[@hanyoo9844]

[@KillaCamrizzleBell]

My god... Sick! Once again, u WENT ham on dis game!! I still (2 dis day) CAN'T beat dis game!!

[@gulyasdavid6170]

one of my favorite shooter :33

[@davidmurdock4740]

So humanity finds RYNEX (From Thunder Force 4) and the -first- thing they do is build their own version of ORN, eh?

[@Xalerdane]

David Murdock Actually, ORN had infected RYNEX’s onboard computer and lay dormant until the creation of GUARDIAN, which it infected like a virus.

[@MAXXEXTERMINATION]

oh i think i know why Rynex became a villian, th alien got them in sapce D: anyway, WOW; that was really a LONG Run, nice one Kir :P

[@aliultimate009]

i'm starting to think that thunderforce V is a piece of cake to beat with no death if the player memorized every spot in the game XD since you've made this video then i think that i have to do the usual hard ways to make at least something new as i usually try to do with the games that i've put a good practice on it ^_^

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Hold down the button this will lock free range in position it will not fire unless you are holding it in position with the fire button. It will automatically fire when enemies are in range as long as you are holding down the fire button.

[@jesseffm]

I wish Tecnosoft had put more effort into upgrading the PS version graphically a bit. The new CGI videos are really great, but e.g. level 3 looks a lot better on Saturn. Saturn was pretty bad with polygons so they could have made some improvements for PS, but ok. Anyhow, great game, and I can play it in HD which is worth a lot. Thanks for the video, another great playthrough.

[@naufaldzulfikarmashuri3216]

Musik Rock di game Thunder Force V ini KEREN ABIZZZZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheCharles3232]

liked the gameplay! not dead!

[@aliultimate009]

and i almost forgot XD , Great job Kirgeez Great job ! ^O^

[@aliultimate009]

@kirgeez master mode ? ... how interesting X) , hidden difficulties !? ... then this makes me even more fire up to try that mode after i at least finish hard mode XD

[@RoninOmega7]

I hope one day we get a Thunder Force 7. Even though its chances are looking VERY grim :(

[@CubamusPrime]

The Saturn Version was better looking but this was a good port

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Agreed

[@Kiluwastrife]

Faust hijacked RYNEX and through that, it hijacked the guardian... i believe that what drive the thunder force V plot... relentless bastard....

[@Xonatron]

awesome! great vid! i beat this game before!

[@littleboyblue707]

I wish there will be a Demake to 2d.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

I'd like remakes of the whole series.

[@shadowrider03]

You are really good!!!

[@kirgeez-gaming]

thanks

[@DrakonisGTR]

@Raymhein; Unfortunately you lose Brigandine right after you defeat Rynex, so it's a one-shot deal no matter what. God I miss playing this game...

[@yuiindiegamingchannel9424]

kirgeez, did you know? that there are secret fighters in this game too!

[@kirgeez-gaming]

YUP..:)

[@cesarhenrxr]

One of the most difficult shooter game i've played! I've just not understood the wave shoot in the game, it is so weak!

[@kirgeez-gaming]

The wave shot has its uses in the stages but not against bosses.

[@DarkSparkish]

The Saturn version has better visuals than the PS1 version. Though the framerate is worse however...

[@kirgeez-gaming]

I'm not sure if you can... Not until you lose that ship it will release the RVR then all of your weapons will be able to be used...

[@angelrosales4534]

uncle has this game, he could go until the 4 stage i never made it past the first : /

[@michkomichkovitch5262]

My high score in this episode : about 700 000 000 points in hard mode. So kirgeez, can you pilot ( play ) with the Evasion Bonus ? I can't, I don't find. A new Thunder Force ? Thunder Force 7 ? Why not !!! Thanks kirgeez !: " May the Force be with you "

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Video Please....

[@michkomichkovitch5262]

kirgeez : That's a problem for me man/soldier ! And the Evasion Bonus ?: Do you find this ? Thanks kirgeez !

[@kirgeez-gaming]

I do have a video with a score like that but without the evasion no miss bonus. see kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZvCemh6r6ylpK8

[@michkomichkovitch5262]

kirgeez Hi Kirgeez !, My high records in Time Attack Mode : _ Training Mode : About 965 000 000 points. _ Normal Mode : About 802 000 000 points. _ Hard Mode : About 640 000 000 points. _ Master Mode : About 400 000 000 points. I Will see to post my videos, it's not easy easy... Congratulations for your demonstrations. Maybe Thunder Force VII one day ? ... See you, May the force be with you

[@MiiDev69]

Did you guys know that if you beat hard mode you unlock master difficulty?

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Yes I have gameplay videos of master difficulty on my channel for Saturn and Playstation.

[@EvilAce360]

Which one looks better the Saturn version or ps1

[@kirgeez-gaming]

Josh A To me the Saturn Version looks better..

[@kamiya4700]

Saturn Version is better

[@xOmniCloudx]

Warit Busayanont Saturn version looks better. PS1 version has more content and runs better. Both versions look dated now so PS1 version wins hands down.

[@Raymhein]

You made that look easy! Can you keep that Brigandine armour for the final level if you don't lose it?

[@foodmr2022]

Iron maiden is definitely easy if you have powered all of your arsenal especially getting range

[@onesonicguy]

Ok, thanks. And by the way, how do you unlock the other weapons in stage 5?

[@michkomichkovitch5262]

Kirgeez !, Nice To meet you ! I have the Thunder Force Saga's since above 30 years ago with Thunder Force 3 : Thunder Force is a part of my universe. I had Thunder Force V since 1999, just before internet aera : you know kirgeez, there was a Contest in ps one version in 1999 : win 10 000 $ . Kirgeez, How To diffuse a video ? With a cam ? With a smartphone ? Thanks To answer me.

[@RoninOmega7]

Can you please make a speed run using the red ship?

[@cesarhenrxr]

@kirgeez Even with save states I have no patience to play!

[@jesseffm]

Thunder Force 5, this game is great and not so great at the same time. :) It's a lot shorter then IV, has less cool & interactive levels but is still a VERY good TF. And the music is fantastic. But graphics aged more rapidly then for TF 3 & 4 due to using polygons. They just don't look very good anymore. I played this a lot on my Saturn, but now I prefer the PS1 version on my PS3 in HD. Looks SO much brighter and cleaner.

[@jesseffm]

@kirgeez Thanks, I know, I watched both your vids. That's how I noticed the small differences in the level graphics. :) Like better looking level 3 on Saturn, but transparencies on PS version where ugly mashes were used on Saturn.

[@martinhernandez656]

What happen if you get the bad ending of thunder force v kireez can you reply for me

[@dogeymon83]

I have both Saturn and PlayStation. Which version is better? I wanna know which I should try to get

[@kirgeez-gaming]

+dogeymon83 The Playstation version has more content the Saturn Version looks better. I happen to like the Saturn version more.

[@MxArgent]

yeah, the saturn version has significantly better visuals but struggles somewhat in the framerate department.

[@onesonicguy]

For free range, do you have to hold down the button and it will automatically shoot, or do you have to keep pressing the button?

[@Kiluwastrife]

10 years late, but I'll answer it: when you don't hold the attack button, the free range visor will rotate 180 degrees oposite of where you're going, ex: going top right will point the free range to bottom right. when you hold the attack button, the free range will stay and fixed it's orientation to the last direction before you hold it and will attack anything that comes to it's range. hope that answers your question

[@yagamijubei28]

anybody thinks deep purple looks like a dotem from rahxephon?

[@ReverendSyn]

No Gargoyle this time? I thought he was a regular in the series.

[@kirgeez-gaming]

No all the Thunder Force games for the most part are different until TF6 decided to re-use lots of previous game assets.

[@dokhycodan1012]

How is the Saturn version better? Does it feature better graphics?

[@kirgeez-gaming]

For whatever reason IMO it is harder. The in game graphics do look better. But there are no cut scenes and the game overall has less content than the Playstation version. If the game had the Saturn's in game graphics with the playstation modes and content + video scenes that would be great but for whatever reason the PSX version is not as good as far as the in game experience. See for yourself kzbin.info/www/bejne/nZvCemh6r6ylpK8

[@isacsantoyo1533]

You should try and record master difficulty sir

[@Blahblahblah28504]

Oh god I tried master difficulty and damn was it hard. The second to last boss in master mode is easily the hardest boss in the game IMO.

[@xZellOne]

How is it that you kill them so fast??

[@meggriffin3766]

Free-Range

[@coffeeblak86]

This shit don't even look as good as the sega versions? What happened?

[@xOmniCloudx]

coffeeblak86 2D games always looked better on Saturn, 3D games looked better on PS1. PS1 version of this had more content and less slowdown so the PS1 version wins since content and performance is more important plus, they both look dated now anyway.

[@RacingPoint-io8yk]

no compare to tf3/4

[@RazorsEdg3]

Graphics looks terrible compared to Thunder Force 4 on 16bit Sega Mega Drive.

[@garrynorth6269]

Why are the graphics so bad?.

[@scarfaceAC2]

Garry North 32 bit 3d graphics just dont age well. They probably were impressive at the time though
