Time Crisis Project Titan - No Continues - 18'45"56

I finally made it, here's a fast full 1 credit clear playthrough of Time Crisis Project Titan, playing the US version of the game.
Project Titan is an outsourced PS1 light gun game released in 2001, as a side story to Time Crisis 1's Special Mode featuring Richard Miller. There is only one game mode to play, but there are alternate modes of Time Attack to unlock.
There are rather long cutscenes in the game, and if you skip them, you don't really know what is going on with the story. The ending and credits cannot be skipped.
Project Titan added health items, which are found by shooting parts of scenery. The game only allows a maximum of 5 lives, and shooting the health items with 5 lives, doesn't show any health icon appear, the most noticeable one is on the Stage 3 boss, which I shoot at after the boss is destroyed. Health can also be gained from doing 30 shots without missing, it's not too difficult to do, but if you try and go for them, you'll end up playing the game slower, and I try to be as quick as possible. The game also added multiple screen battles like in Time Crisis 4, and like in TC4, where you can move around by shooting at arrows when hiding, it takes a while to move around and it isn't executed so well.
Like the PS1 port of Time Crisis 1, if you game over, you have to restart the area from the start, which has to be a major wall for anyone to clear Stage 4 Area 2. You can select Easy mode, which gives you 5 lives and more continues, but the game only goes to Stage 3.
As complaints about Time Crisis 1 are about not knowing if you are going to get hit from enemy bullets, in Project Titan, when a bullet is going to hit you, it is shown in orange and is slightly bigger. The whole stepping out of cover and getting hit instantly happens way more than normal too. A complaint about the game is that the machine gun enemies will fire before you can attack, and more often than not, you'll get hit instantly as you come out of cover, with the red enemies being far more aggressive than in the arcade Time Crisis games. Also if you play on the PAL version, the enemies shots appear out of place, making that version harder than intended.
The Stage 4 Area 2 boss and final boss sections are rather unfair, but this video shows they are possible to clear without getting hit.
The game came out on PS1 just before the port of Time Crisis 2 came out on the PS2, I barely played this on release as I was wanting TC2 instead.
I really don't understand the Skill Point stars system, this was the first time I cleared the game on one credit, and the time I cleared in was much faster than my original target. I've seen videos when people have continued and still got 10 stars, so maybe the accuracy is the greatest factor towards the stars awarded.

That was funny at <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1115">18:35</a>! That completely caught me off guard, lol!

[@Smraedis]

I like how it says Danger on the first time, when you have no control over it

[@vincently1995]

18:37 Ouch!

[@danielfennessey]

Caught him, Hook, line and sinker-- Door's that way, yeah? I'll see meself out.

[@TheTber123]

Its nice to see someone playing this with a lightgun instead of a slow controller.

[@tonycrazy88]

Glad to see you back with this underrated entry of the Time Crisis series. As always, a pleasure to watch your runs.

[@Smraedis]

Thanks, am happy to have finally got around to this game

[@ninotimecrisisfan]

I really loved this game, hard to believe that it's been 16 years since it came out

LOL

[@lionlyons]

"I'm Richard Miller and - God, I'm awesome! - I can take down a helicopter with two handgun bullets!" LOL!

[@sifuhotman1300]

He calculated the exact moment for the helicopter to conveniently crash onto the robot army. That's why they teach math at school kids!

[@user-pk8sd7do2o]

yes it is the good sign

[@UKARCADES2015]

good to see you still rocking the crisis series ;) well done n excellent playthrough !

[@UltraZeroX7]

OH MY GOD! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU FINALLY MADE A VIDEO OF THIS! I HAVE LONG WAITED FOR THIS!!! KEEP IT UP, MAN!

[@Smraedis]

Thanks so much, hope it was worth the wait!

[@ReapingRose115]

Nice work mate! It's been a while since i last played Project Titan. When I initially played it I complained it was too difficult (then again I was a wee boy who wasn't really good). Older and wiser, once you figure out the patterns the game became a whole lot easier. One thing that I found is that unlike Arcade Time Crisis, this game can be rewarding for an aggressive playstyle of unloading rounds at certain targets, especially if said target is attempting to reach cover like in the first boss fight. Though that tends to mean more reloads and missing out combos. It has unfair moments, and isn't as good as the mainline games, but still a good bit of fun. My biggest gripe was Stage 3's ridiculously long transition times, and early playthroughs kept hitting a stopgap because of it.

[@arielhachinto3064]

Despite the graphical downgrade and the lack of extra content when compared to TC1. I love how challenging this game, especially in stage 3 and 4. The henchmen like to fake and hide, lots of red guys and machine gunners and the bosses was a challenge. Not to mention the music is great.

[@Nestalgba92023]

Compare to TC1, the Arcade machine's origin, due to the graphics, right?

[@sifuhotman1300]

The cheesy voice acting tho xD Wild Dog, what the heck happened to your voice? Maybe he's still recovering from the blast at Sherudo's castle.

[@arielhachinto3064]

@@sifuhotman1300 It's alot better than his Time Crisis 5 voice, who sounds like a cartoon villain.

[@thewolfthi]

For some reason this is just damn entertaining to watch, great video as always :)

[@Smraedis]

Am glad to hear this, thanks too!

[@AnimeHokageHD]

Great job! Good to see another great replay video again! So practically, every 30 hits without missing its a extra life in Project Titan. It didn't really show much in Time Crisis in the first game...

[@Smraedis]

Many thanks Yeah, that's true, and 20 hits if played on Easy, both are pretty simple to do, but difficult to do and to stay fast as the same time

[@ronitprakash1717]

Man u really r the greatest shooting player I have ever seen in my life

[@Smraedis]

Thanks, I just try my best

[@mkaplan1383]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="500">8:20</a> Kantaris, you're out of my will! I mean it this time!!

[@dennylukman1801]

I have the PS 1 disk of this game! Good playthrough there.

[@AngelicDirt]

What an end... XD Good run, man. :3

[@Smraedis]

The final parts to the game sure are hard, but can be learned, thanks!

[@maxonwolf5841]

Oh god the golden eye stock sound effects

[@sebthepinoyboi]

Can you play Time Crisis 5?I've been waiting for you to play that.

[@trevorkennedy4762]

Memories 😢

[@KurtHectic]

You deserve a medal .SM

[@Smraedis]

Hehe if you say so :D thanks!

[@atrocity3010]

I was able to beat TC1 but I can't even get to Stage 3 in this. They should've called it "Time Crisis: The Lost Levels"

[@KimSamaVideos]

Wow, I never new you would play Project Titan

[@Smraedis]

Well it happened :D

[@xxtravisxxify]

Biggest question in my mind since childhood... At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="500">8:20</a> where does she stands at? She's clearly above the ship but we can't see any land behind her so :)

[@Nestalgba92023]

What the Freak?! No Wild Dog theme in this sequel?

[@animemangafan1987]

I use the pedals from the racing wheel peripheral accessory on this game to make it arcade accurate and realistic instead of holding the GunCon with both hands

[@thiagoarantes5708]

Nice soundtrack

[@shelltune]

ACTION!

[@barney10240]

About to comment FIRST, but i'm late lmao Video is nice as always!

[@Smraedis]

Many thanks, you might be quick enough next time :P

[@crust5909]

its my 2nd favorite game in the series :)

[@M3GAMAN100]

There's an interesting theory about this game that the titans Wild Dog ships out are the reason he comes back in every main game; they're all robots with WD's skills.

[@Qlexplore]

Amazing watch. I have to ask, however... Why didn't he come, in the end? Lone wolf?

[@Smraedis]

Many thanks He is just too good to attend such a thing, also having no voice actor might contribute to it!

[@torusato7159]

the only time crisis game i havent managed to beat

[@Smraedis]

I think others would say the same too, sure is a hard clear

[@vincently1995]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1763">29:23</a> LOL Wild Dog just crash through his own robot army with helicopter.

[@Imadude-1243]

During the Ricardo fight I didn't know the option to move to the side was there for awhile so i would always shoot him in the tiny gap he appeared in behind the fountain... Lol Nonetheless, superb run smraedis!

Still lov ya

[@UltramanMebiusBrave]

To get 10 skill stars, you have to get 100 percent accuracy in all areas, beat all record times, and never get hit, all in one credit.

[@arlynanderson4801]

Oh... So this is where Richard Miller switched his primary pistol from Strayer Voyager Infinity to a two-toned H&K Mark 23 Phase 2 or H&K Mk. 23... Only for the game's cover art, but in the game... He still use his Steyr Voyager Infinity pistol... I think (?) That pistol should've stay as his main, especially when he made an appearance as a final challenge in TC2... But... VSSE always change their primary pistols for all their agents throughout the series, so...

[@UltimaKeyMaster]

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="993">16:33</a>-Again. AGAIN. That goddamn 007 elevator stock sound, but used even BEFORE 007 did!

[@hawaiidkw1]

Lingering questions: Why doesn't Richard Miller _ever_ talk? I've never understood this... he's not deaf, he can understand what other people are saying, and his work is anything but quiet. Even in his brief appearance in TC2, where he's among peers, he can't be bothered to congratulate Keith Martin. Who is this Kantaris (this clearly happens well after the events of the first game, so that's not Lina Zinnarian), and why does she just completely vanish after this game?
