CG's cheap. Far cheaper than just about anything else, including hand illustration.

You misunderstand. For some people, being angry IS the hobby. That it is being angry about plastic robots is secondary.- 17363 replies

What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v4.0
JB0 replied to wolfx's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I enjoyed it for what it was, but it really shouldn't have had the Gatchaman name attached as it is wholly unrelated. It is also largely character-driven, with very little in the way of cool fight scenes(I think there was one?). It will never become anything like Gatchaman, no matter how long you stick with it. Tatsunoko was "celebrating" their fiftieth year in business at the time, and I think they slapped the name on something already deep into production so they could claim to have made "a new Gatchaman" for the studio's anniversary. -

That is pretty dang sexy. ... And my heart has already retconned it into a modernized Phantom Striker remake, which makes it much cooler. (Us Captain Power fans have to take our joy where we can find it.)- 9325 replies

Super Macross Mecha Fun Time Discussion Thread!
JB0 replied to Valkyrie Driver's topic in Movies and TV Series
I'd hate to be the guy that had to design THAT inertial control system. -
It is always night in space. The scene in question, the fighters are flying within Saturn's rings. Particularly, they have just flown into Saturn's shadow, so I think it is literally night flying. Most of the space fights ought to look like that, because space lacks any atmosphere to scatter light and generate broad illumination. There's actually good reason for them to be illuminated in the rings before they enter the shadow, for once(the material of the rings should reflect a lot of sunlight, scattering it through the area).

Almost no. I forget who, but someone licensed Macross 7 Trash for an english release. It never came out. They paid HG for a Macross license, and as I understand things Big West cancelled THEIR license because they don't negotiate with terrorists.

That's what struck me as weird. As near as I can tell, the companies involved with the GameBoy game are all dead(Take 2 bought publisher TDK Mediactive, and developer Lucky Chicken seems to have just died and vanished). ... Ah. Digging further, the company responsible for the Switch port is founded by the founders of Lucky Chicken. That explains that. I guess they took the assets with them, and then called HG up and asked for a license to re-release the game. And HG being HG, they just rubberstamped it once they were assured it was going on, like, actual game consoles and not as a freeware download on a fansite.

They make licensing papers. But point taken. They shoulda paid someone to port Battlecry instead of paying someone to port... Robotech: The Macross Saga, I guess was the title.

Grimlock: He didn't have a sword in the movie, so he gets no sword. Who cares if it is an iconic part of the character? Hot Rod: Yeah, this guy definitely needs a sword. Better make it a fancy two-piece one.- 17363 replies

I note that, while the game was pretty blah, "most disappointing" and "worst" aren't the same thing. But still, it was a poor clone of the console DYRL game, and they shoulda ported Battlecry to the Switch.

JB0 replied to mikeszekely's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Makes sense to me. The Combiner Wars peg is (relatively speaking) large and complex, as well as requiring somewhat tighter tolerances than most Transformers pieces. ... It was also the biggest problem with CW and Primes combiners, as it took up a significant chunk of the space available to the limbs, necessitating major sacrifices to the designs. While it would be fine in the larger volume of Voyager-class limbs(and still sturdy enough to do the job)... I'm not particularly sorry to see it go.- 17363 replies

That Terradive was a pretty fun toy. As a personal preference, I also liked how his engines became his arms, because you could have an engine exhaust out instead of a fist. My Terradive wvs always in megabuster mode.- 9325 replies

But imagine it was named Perseverer instead. Though in hindsight, THAT name should've been given to Opportunity. Planned mission of three months, ran for over a decade. But we had no way of knowing in advance how much of an overachiever Oppy was. -
