Hell that sounds better than the battle assault series...wait a tick...why not just turn the battle assault series into that. Maybe a patch. 377333[/snapback] I'd buy it. Pr'ly won't show up as a patch. The 2D Battle Assault games hade a fairly elaborate sprite engine. Each piece of the mech is a seperate sprite, and they use the PS' rotation hardware to animate them. That's how they get fluid animation with battle damage on large sprites with the PS1's limited RAM. Sexy little hardware trick too, if I say so myself(I love seeing creative hacks to work around system limitations, and they're rarely as visible on the modern platforms). But! Battle-damaged MS girls! The 3D one... 3D's just harder to work with and I'd bet their engine is ill-suited to showing flesh.

FM3 was actually the last FM game I played. I disliked how few units you could field at a time. YES! I hate SRPGs that give you a pile of units, then place a low cap how many you can field. I always subscribed to the mass chaos theory. Throw a million units out and overwhelm the enemy with numbers. FM3 was worse about it since all the mechs were THERE storywise, they just put their guns up or something.

I think KAwamori should hire Katoki to redesign all the VFs. And give them beamsabers.

Great. 2 of the ugliest(but not THE ugliest, as I have been shown before) super robots to ever disgrace the genre. 377343[/snapback] I knew you are gonna say that. 377488[/snapback] Damn, I'm getting predictable... Ummm... GRENDIZER AND JEEG ARE PERFECTION IN EVERY WAY! VOLTRON IS A FESTERING HEAP OF POO!

No. And even without the legal nonsense, the pile of licenses they'd need for a US release pretty much ensures the anime crossover ones won't make it. The 2 SRW games licensed are Original Generation and OG2. Neither features any anime mecha.

Macross isn't whored out the same way Gundam is. And when Kawamori HAS designed new VFs for merchandising, he's given them new numbers and attached a story. I think it would be safe to extrapolate that he's just not a fan of the shameless recycling of designs Bandai does. The VF-0 exists PRECISELY to avoid having two diffrent VF-1 designs floating around. Then go with the dang VF-0 already. Paint scheme is meaningless on a VF. Especially the VF-1. And the Katoki Wing is a pretty poor way of making your point with the VF-11, given Katoki radically changed the thing. I'd argue a VF-11 is as close to a VF-1 as Wing Ka is to original Wing. Your "picture" has almost no detail. It's hard to tell what ANYTHING is. Besides which, an 11S could've been done. It's never been drawn because it's never been needed. Like I said, there are TWO "remakes" of the VF-1 already. If you don't like one, there's another one waiting for your attention. This whole thread is just stupid.

You are wrong. It's the vast majority of people on this thread saying that. The few that aren't are here out of morbid curiosity. Hey, if Japan built this, everyone would be happy! There's a jet in it!

Apology accepted, then. It really SHOULDN'T be modernized. Kawamori COULD have made a much mroe complex transformation then. He could've done it on the VF-0, also. He chose not to, because the people IN MACROSS can't do it yet. It wouldn't make sense for a VF-1 to have as complex a transformation as a YF-19, because the YF-19 has three decades of technological evolution in it. It was, within the Macross continuity, a first attempt at a variable fighter. The mechanisms used in the VF-1 were big, bulky, and only capable of doing simple transformations. It'd be like making a movie set in the 1970s and using LCD TVs on the set. Once you scrap the basic design of the VF-1 and start integrating design features from later VFs you can't really call it a VF-1, can you? If you want a more modern VF, we have the 4, 11(which seems to be exactly what you're looking for), 19, and 21. If you want a restyled VF-1, we have the VF-0. I don't see a point behind redesigning the VF-1 when it's been done twice already, particularly not if it won't actually be USED for anything. IT'S. JUST. STUPID.

And the boxy leading edge is stolen from the F-15. Also gives the plane enough fuselage to make a decent chest, which is difficult to do without either a large splitting fuselage or a far more elaborate folding nose like the YF-19 has. That part wasn't a negative comment. I was just guessing at where you were going with it. And the eyeroll smiley gives that apology the feel of sarcasm. I'm not sure if that was the intent or not.

Nothing wrong with any of those 3 goals. DYRL IS a good movie, don't get me wrong. It just has a few holes because they expected TV series knowledge.

DYRL by itself typically leaves a newbie with more questions than answers.

Not a guarantee, though. *grumbles about Parasite Eve Rebirth and Chrono Break*

Oh I remember those... Breast missiles... woot.... And there was an endless supply of those too. 377345[/snapback] You just WISH real life had an endless supply of breasts.

Shao Pai Lon definitely falls into the "annoyingly catchy" category. Gets stuck in my head and I CAN'T GET IT OUT! *starts humming* GAH!

Prequel, actually. There's Rayforce, they Raystorm, then Raycrisis, which takes place before Rayforce and ends with "Operation Rayforce" being launched.

IDEA! Bandai should make a Gundam game with MS Girls! Who's with me? *silence* ... Never mind.

No, you said they LOOKED like they could be made. Which isn't the same thing. And until Japan can make me one of these... ... they need to not waste time on airplanes.

*looks at GameCube*That's not a bad idea... my computers get it often enough, but I've got 3 game machines with active cooling that are pr'ly full of dust monsters. Course, I need one of those damn security bits to get the 'Cube's case open and do it right. But the DC and PS2 won't fight me too much. 375566[/snapback] Not really. All you need is either an air can, or a compressor with a blower attached to it. Blast the air into the Gamecube, and use a vacumn cleaner to suck the dust up. Works wonders. I wanna open it anyways.

Yes. Raystorm is awesome. ... Played Raycrisis?

I didn't say you moved them for any reason. Just that the relocation reminded me of the YF-21. I was just looking at it from an aesthetics PoV. As Kawamori's never going to redo the original story, he has no need to re-redo the VF-1. Any remakes will appear as new vehicles. Probably with new features, as there's a limit to how many prequels you can do. Just imagine a VF-11 without all the extra spec'ed equipment. Give it the canards because we're talking about a massive redesign anyways. Hell, your own "redesign" seemed to move the tailfins off the "backpack" and onto the legs, just like the VF-11. It's the same transformation sequence(plus a snap-off shield), same overall silhouette in battroid mode, etc. It IS a modernized VF-1. Sadly, it's also a tad anorexic. All those criticisms of the VF-1's chunkiness have given it an eating disorder. That WOULD help give people a better idea of your goals.

Nobody "watches" the Oscars! Just check the results on the IMDB and avoid all the self-congratulatory butt-kissing for 2+ hours 377052[/snapback] Someone had to watch them to get the results to post on IMDB. ZOMG PARADOX!

But removing nekkid Lucy caused continuity problems!

Someone watched the Oscars?
