Suggestion: Reflecting Laser

Some ideas for Reflecting Laser, from R-Type

Bottom right shows it most clearly.

Bottom right illustrates the most "reflecting", but it seems a bit blurry. The top right looks clearer

The top-right one looks much cooler, but it also looks like the boss is just immune to lasers; I like that the bottom-right image shows the beam destroying things. I agree, though: the image quality could be better. Can we capture (or etc) a similar version that is not resampled?

It would also help if those lasers had some directionality to them (e.g. fading from front to back) because since it's a still image it's kinda hard to tell which way those beams are going.

I tried finding stills of that weapon and GIS turned up nothing...had to use a gameplay video to get the stills.

Not a part of that game's sprites...might be the case for sequels, not sure.

The issue I have with all of these is that they don't look like lasers to me.

They look like lasers to me. What else do they look like?

Purple lines, really.

Really? I thought they were blue. Or possibly lavender.

Anyway, that's pretty much what lasers look like in games.

Maybe this◊ looks more like lasers? Don't know what that game is, though.

Colored lines, thats what lasers look like.

Anyways, since it was asked, here's some fresh made R-Type screenshots, cropped to 350 wide. [1]◊ [2]◊ [3]◊ [4]◊

I do have more if necessary but those were likely best candidates. Its actually kinda hard to get a good still of those beams, the weapon sometimes fires shorter bursts that don't show the bounces that well.

All of those are good, but I prefer either of the first two.

Nice ones. I like the first and fourth pics

I wish I could find a radial◊ laser beamspam◊ screenshot from Bangai-O showing an entire circle of laser refractions.

Waaaaaay too cluttered for my taste, although they'd be good for Image Links.

I like 12.2 the best, since it's not up against a very busy background.

12.2 is good.

Bump; 12.2 works well enough to give a .

12.2 gets a from me.

@ Adeptrouge, your pic was from Shotgun Debugger, and if it was cropped and cleaned up a bit I'd vote for it.

This◊ and this◊ are other screenshots.

Crowner's hooked.

This one's ready to call. The new pic's up, potholed, and tagged, and the rest plus one I found are on the Image Links page. Locking up.
