Seto Kaiba Posted November 26, 2023 Share Posted November 26, 2023 1 hour ago, Froy said: Watch around minute 7:15 Dunno if that counts as a weird place... I mean, they're talking about the development of the N64 and its launch titles, and GameTek DID (try to) develop a Robotech game that was supposed to be a Nintendo 64 launch title. That was Robotech: Crystal Dreams. It was the usual 90's Robotech story... a small-time company with a very limited talent pool picked up the license, made overly ambitious plans, promptly failed, went bankrupt, and the next small-time company to pick up the license cancelled the project. GameTek got as far as a brief playable demo and a licensed comic book that cribbed a lot of art from DYRL? before they went under and the new licensee Ocean Software canned it just a few days after the demo debuted.

Devil 505 Posted December 28, 2023 Share Posted December 28, 2023 The Swedish Air Force must be big Macross fans, since they built their own version of the Sv-262 over 60 years before Macross Delta even aired. 😋 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was mildly obsessed with the Saab Viggen in school, I thought it was the coolest thing ever and demanded the model kit. ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CodeDanEXE Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 The youtuber Quinton Reviews is a big Jetfire and/or Robotech fan, so its hilarious seeing valkyries behind him. He also pointed out in his latest video that this mech from one of the Nicktoons on the DS seems very familiar... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He jumped into Robotech forums and Facebook groups with this extreme enthusiasm for the franchise and wasn't prepared for the onslaught of bitter old fans that came with it.

Yeahh which is really cool, and love that he adopted the TB2 rear aero spoiler aesthetic for it. As mentioned before in other treads, this short is really my absolute favorite of all the Thunderbird S sequences, since it marries both of my favorite sci-fi vehicles - jets and bikes. I actually never watched whole episodes of Thunderbirds Are Go, but from the many shorts on Youtube there's really so much to like. I think the scenes are well shot, with the action shots easy to follow which is why the sequences with Thunderbird S look so much better than in recent Macross shows with all its blink-and-you'll-miss-it fast cuts imho. For example: Another aspect I noticed is the really great sound design, staging & score. The vehicles all sound really great, and the sound effects pop. The combined launch sequence really homages the original well and blasts through nicely with some decent sound system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
