Abombz!! Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Does Shoji Kawamori have any input on the release of these Macross games? Did he have any part in the production? History and mech design most likely, not much else.... otherwise I doubt he would have allowed the release of M3. <_< Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 As much as I'm looking forward to this game(will be picking up a boot disc to play) just because its by Sega/AM2, it doesn't mean it will be great, good, or even so so. Having such high hopes will just ruin things for you when the game doesn't live up to the high standards you've some how placed upon the game in my opinion. The game may used DYRL? designs but wasn't it said that it actually follows the SDF Macross TV storyline from beginning to finish? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will most likely follow the DYRl story... with Hikary already a pilot and everything. Or maybe its just SDF Macross with DYRL designs, for a possible US release.

the white drew carey Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 These two screenshots alone lead me to believe it will follow the SDF-Macross storyline with, as Abombz stated above, DYRL designs. The first is, obviously, Booby Trap. And the second is when the silly humans (who are meddling with things beyond their comprehension) decide to fold a tad to close to the surface, dragging half of South Ataria island with them to Pluto.

Well... we don't know exactly what happened before the DYRL movie. For all was know... Booby Trap did happen and so did the folding over South Atalia island. All that we can be sure about the DYRL story line is that Hikaru was already a pilot and he doesn't meet Minmei untill she becomes a star.

TheLoneWolf Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 I'm not too impressed with the screenshots thus far. They are the best 3D Valkrie models I've seen yet, but trumping previous games' Valkyries isn't much of a feat. Considering it's 2003, the graphics look heavily dated. Here's hoping the gameplay is on point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But like I learned with Wind Waker.... a game looks far different in motion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hoping this game will at least be fun.....from AM-2's track record I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Is the animated intro of the Sega Saturn's verisoin of DYRL going to relate to this game?

Effect Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 Hmm maybe this could be all DYRL?, like said it could start off the same way as SDF did and then fill in the things DYRL? didn't cover(events before the movie actually starts) and then throught the movie and then after it. That would be nice . What would be slick of them would be for them to actually include subtitles in the game(knowing that people outside of japan will most likely import the game if they can't official release it outside of Japan).

TheLoneWolf Posted August 27, 2003 Share Posted August 27, 2003 But like I learned with Wind Waker.... a game looks far different in motion. You make a very good point. I guess I'm still jaded after the previous 3D flops. Effect: You could be on to something, there's precedent where Japanese games have been released along with full English text (ie: Vampire Savior for Saturn). The only problem would be the sheer amount of text and dialogue in your typical Macross game. Here's hoping anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BYG-DAMN Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 The screenshots of this game make BC look like a cheap puppet show. The only reason I got BC when it came out was because it was only 30 bucks at CC. But this game, if its brough over here and the game play is good, I'm all over it. BC got pretty repetitive after a while. I'm hoping Bandai wants to bring it here. Because Bandai does whatever they want, they have a team of super sentai ninja lawyers ready to assasinate HG's claims. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoptimus Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 I have faith in AM2. Me too. Plus I can probably attribute the low poly counts on the fact that there is alot onscreen and they are probably going for speed rather than prettiness.

Chowser Posted August 28, 2003 Share Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) Well if anyone wants to get it, but not have to mod their PS2 you could get this...The Swap Magic PS2 boot disk http://www.easybuy2000.com/store/playstati...20II/index.html wow, never knew about the slide card, i've got my ps2 modded with the PS2 Cover using the swap magic discs and it works great. my buddy had the knife method, but i didn't want to do that, i stood in line for 4 hours way back when to get my PS2, so it's one of the originals, so no more warranty. i didn't mine opening it up. had to clean the dust out anyway But this is one game I will be importing! I just wished for once that they would design all the games using the english language. I know most/all the people in Japan can read/write english. I just started my japanese class last night, it's going to be a long year... Edited August 28, 2003 by Chowser Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree as well, I won't get excited, until I read, "...it is slated for release in the U.S. in [insert date here]..." I'm not going to pay about $100 (about $60 to for the game, and about $40 to get a boot disk) to play this, I like Macross as much as everyone here but $100 to play a game, it's just not going to happen at this point in time.

Adventure Posted August 30, 2003 Share Posted August 30, 2003 (edited) Forget about the pictures... check out these movies! http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/...ross/index.html Just click on the 'Movie' button and a pop-up window will open. Unfortunately right now not all movies can be viewed... but the ones I was able to watch were great!!! Real authentic Macross sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really leaning more and more towards going to Japan in X'mas... but not only is the plane ticket expensive, but the games I want to buy (Gundam Sora + Macross) will be too... $$$ Edited August 31, 2003 by Adventure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
