Space shooter games

[Romo Lampkin]

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone could recommend a fast paced space shooter game, like Zero Wing except with modern graphics? I remember seeing a Japanese game on NHK which was like this. Ideally are there any games where you're in the cockpit and blasting stuff? I've had a look at that Occulus rift game Valkyrie but it seems a bit slow/stately, ridiculously fast paced would be good.

Are you platform agnostic or are you limited to PC?

Well if you want a fast-paced shmup you can't go wrong with a bullet hell shooter. How about Ikaruga?

That does look cool but are there any games where it's first person? I'm limited to PC.

So you don't want something like Zero Wing, which is obviously a shmup and not at all first person. You want something more like, I don't know, Elite?

I would like something with the speed of zero wing/gradius but from a first person perspective. I remember seeing a game like this once on tv.

Okay, so you want a fast-paced 3D shooter? Freespace 2?

That looks about right. Is BSG diaspora any good? I remember this game, it was kind of a third person space shooter, where you controlled this craft and it looked like a bullet hell game, I remember seeing it on Imagination on NHK around 2014.
