Prime

IOr maybe it is the first time. Afterall, Kawamori has already admit that continuity is taking a backseat to story telling.

That's the way it should be, IMO

If you have a relatively speedy pc, ePSX emulator works pretty good!

www.ngemu.com for cool emulation news.

That's what I use, and it works really well. Luckily my comp is stacked

You have some neat stuff there. You might want to try the fan art or model forums. You might get more responses there

I'm loving the animation in Zero, but I could take or leave most of the characters. The action scenes are very well done, but I find some of the "mystical" parts a little boring. Overall it has been entertaining to me.

Like some people I probably still like Mac Plus better overall...

Oh no! He's one year closer to death!

We should clone him or something...

M0 had me right from the beginning. I loved the intro

I love the VF-11. Can't wait to see how this turns out...

Saw Robotech as a kid. Loved the mecha and story. Eventually saw Macross Plus, and was intrigued enough to find out about the original series and storyline. Fell in love all over again

You forgot to put 'Prime on that list....

You take that back!!

man all my blockbuster has is the original robotech vhs in japaneese

??

Double ??

The funny thing is my local comic shop has the Macross series set for about $200 cdn, which is pretty rich my blood, especially since I hadn't seen it up until now. It was strange being able to watch the first three disks for about $10.

After what I watched so far, I really don't think I'll pick up that full set for that price. I love the show and it has been great to watch, but the animation is really bad in some parts by today's standards.

It has still been great to watch though...

Sadly, I find the dubbed version all but unbearable. The subbed is a little better...

And then gets blown to bits at the end like all Destroid pilots

I think that is a job requirement.

No reason not to use them. I would think old ordinance like that would still be just as effective in certain situations.

VF-1S all the way for me.

Just so you know, you can play VF-X and VF-X2 on an emulator like ePSXe on the PC...

I was at Blockbuster the other day and low and behold I stumbled across the first three disks of the original Macross series. I guess they have about the first 12 episodes or so. Needless to say I rented them and have just started on the first disk.

This is my first time seeing the original series, so I'm pretty excited

I was just surprised to see it there is all. I was under the impression it was still fairly rare in North America...

I always thought that destroid were for the most part glorifed artillary and anti-aircraft pieces (cool looking though they may be). I don't imagine that they were much more effective than tanks and more traditional weapons of that sort. Destroids would be extremely expensive compared to their counterparts, without a big payoff.

This project looks great Prime!

I'm wondering if I can contribute to this game, namely in the form of lineart and sprites for the VFs (maybe even a fanstory for the game as well). Let me know if you're interested

Thanks, but I have most of sprites completed already. However, Once I get more into the menu screen aspects, If you are interested in doing some icons or art, I may like some help.

Thanks for the offer, and I'll let you know the state of affairs as I get closer to that point

Wasn't it the only one in the VF-1 series that did?

I like the pop can missiles

CF-1A... CF-1J.

CF-1A and CF-1J? What does the C stand for? Or is that a typo?

Ah, ok.  Could you be more specific?  Why sort of things do you think need to be improved/added?  I'd love to have feedback on this sort of thing, either about this aspect or anything else.

The weapon load is pretty wussy... Needs more power. Much much more. This is a shooter, afterall ;-)

At the least, extended gunpod range would be nice. Micro missiles as the "bomb" option would be nicer.

Oh don't worry. What is in that demo is by no means the extent of the weapons. What would a Valkyrie be without missiles? As for the gunpod range, I haven't tweeked any of that kind of thing yet. Once things are a little more complete I will tweek the settings to get something a bit more optimal.

For the missiles, there are a few ways I might go. One is the standard "bomb" where it basically clears everything off the screen. Another is to be able to select a target and fire missiles that home in on it. If I go with the latter, I haven't settled on how the player would go about selecting targets.

But one thing is for certain, there will be missiles...

one suggestion, can you lengthen the valkyrie's gunpod range?

I'll look into that...

ummm...perhaps in a fashion similar to the Reno air race...20 or more other racers to beat...nah bad idea

cuz he's the main character.

That's kind of how it works in real life too...

The only ones I know for sure are available in English dubbed versions are Macross Plus and Macross II OVAs and movies. DYRL? is available in English as the horrendously butchered "Clash of the Bionoids", but that doens't really count.

The DVD version of the Macross Plus movie is only available with English subtitles, correct?
