Gaijin Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 Anyone sure about when the actual release date is now?... I see dates ranging from Oct 23, Oct 30, November 25, and Dec 23rd! I doubt the October launch will be made...the site still has coming soon sections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted October 4, 2003 Share Posted October 4, 2003 I doubt the October launch will be made...the site still has coming soon sections. Well, we can hope that the delays in updating the page are because they're spending all their resources getting the game ready. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vfxraven19 Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 My bro kept an eye out for me, and he gave me this link w/ footage from TGS! 71MB MPG SDF Macross PS2 The site seems swamped though.... -vfxraven19- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yellowlightman Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Has anyone been able to see this vid? I've been trying all night, but all I get is the Ruliweb title screen and that's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 It's downloading for me right now. It's pretty huge, though. So it'll be a while. If there's any good screenshots I'll post 'em. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Something's screwed up with the download. I've tried it 3 times and all I get is a quick video where the words RULIWEB.COM scroll in from the left. That's it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adventure Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Someone should set up a bittorent for this file... I'm trying to d/l it from ruliweb and it's going at... 162.33 B/sec!!! If someone d/led it, please set up a BT for it, thanks :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adventure Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Okay I finally watched the video, but it made me more pissed off because the guy who was playing it obviously didn't know what he's doing He let Macross get damaged so badly, and he barely shot anything down!! But from the video, at least you get a feel what the game is like, and it's pretty awesome... I noted that there seems to be too much dialog though, hmm... if you're a real valkyrie pilot, I don't think you can concentrate very well with so many radio messages every other second Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 Won't download...unless you count a whopping 8 bytes a second downloading. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted October 7, 2003 Share Posted October 7, 2003 I've been trying on and off for the past few days and still can't get the video to load past the "Ruliweb" intro screen, where it just stops. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Graham Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Yep. Too many release dates... Too many release dates? I thought the date for this game had been set as October 23 for quite some time now. Graham Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lightning Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 i think someone posted like 3 other release dates on here somewhere... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaijin Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 October 23 is the supposed official date. But a lot of online retailers also say it is October 30, there was one that said it had been pushed to november, and of course, some website said December. I hope not, I was looking forward to some Macross action this month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yellowlightman Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 Has anyone been able to download the video yet? If anyone has, I can upload it to my server for us MW'ers that have been unable to see it. But I still haven't been able to get it to download.

super_quincy Posted October 8, 2003 Share Posted October 8, 2003 I thought the date for this game had been set as October 23 for quite some time now. Lik-Sang are listing it as 23rd Dec now Grrr Ive just got my japanese PS 2 ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abombz!! Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 I thought you guys would like to know... but Famitsus review is in. The new Macross game got 28 out of 40, with 8,7,6,7 as review scores. Thats a pretty good score. It would have been more significant if we could compare that to the scores VFX, VFX2 and M3 got, but I can't seem to find them anymore.

Adventure Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Okay you guys can d/l it from here: http://earth.therealms.org/macross/ruliweb...eb_macros01.zip Just rename the file to .mpeg after you finish d/ling then you can watch it (so that you guys won't be streaming it ) I think I'll leave it on for a bit but for those who d/led it please set up a bittorrent or put it on a server to share. Thanks. About release dates, October 30th was the old official date, it has been brought forward to October 23rd, but I've also seen dates of December 23rd on some websites, so go figures... We did see the date in TGS or something, so hopefully they're not lying :> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 (edited) Oh my good lord!!! drool... This game looks like it could be THE best Macross, if not best mecha shooter ever!!! I tried to get screengrabs but the paused shots are too blurry to be any good. I think it might be intentional because when it's running it looks absolutely and irrevocably amazing. Battlecry what? I'd bet that RT fans and people that haven't even heard of Macross will be clamouring for this one. (from what I've seen) PROS -The lighting effects are awesome. The valk and the SDF-1 look simply amazing. -Detail (same as above) -Transformation. It's quick and fluid. Really neat. -The valk itself look spiffy. All of the verniers work, the wing tips, the Fastpacks. Everything. The thrust vectoring for the main engines on the legs is also pretty cool. -The shells from the gun are pretty cool as well. CONS -This game features the illusion of flight in space ala' the famous WING COMMANDER flying debris feature. I hated it then and I hate it now. I hope one can turn it off. -When your valk transforms the wings fold in even though the missiles are still mounted on the hard points. It would've been cool if they stayed out.

the white drew carey Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Forgot to mention- It looks like the whole bridge crew is here: Global, Misa, Claudia, Vanessa, Kim, Shammy and Emma. Roy shows up as well. I couldn't tell if it's the same voice actors because I had to have the volume down... the wife is sleeping on the couch. Awww...

UN Spacy Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Whoa! B) B) B) B) Thanks for uploading the video for us........it'd be a lot better without all the background noise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Effect Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Wow The game looks great. Now I really have to buy those disc to let me play imports and copies. Things would be even better if they could add subtitles for the language. All in all I can't wait to play this. The one screen targeting looks pretty good, as does the firing of the missles, and the detail of everything. I wonder what the land based missions will look like.

bob joe mac Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 WOWOWOWOOWOW!!!!! This is going to be awesome. BTW- Is it just me or did that guy playing really suck? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the white drew carey Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 You know what would be REALLY awesome? If there were "special moves" you could do in Battroid mode, like fly up to a Regult, switch to Battroid and then do a move like Max in DYRL: Pull the Zentradi from the Regult and then blow his head off. That would be nifty... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsu legato Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 Wow, that looks amazing! We really need to start some kind of petition to get Bandai to release that over here. And I mean NOW!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lebhead Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 it looks like a damn fine game! my only complaint from the video is that the SDF-1 looks like it may be too small compared to the Valk. or am i just cock-eyed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UN Spacy Posted October 11, 2003 Share Posted October 11, 2003 Judging from the video the moves seem to be a bit limited. The Battroid Mode seems limited to gunpod action. The Fighter Mode uses AMM and UMM payloads (you start off with 850 UMM's......that's GOTTA last a while). The Gerwalk Mode will probably utilize both the Batttroid and Fighter capabilities.
