  1. Would be funnier if we could get this higher than the RA KS
  2. It's one thing to start out by saying, "this was Carl's last work, let's see if we can make it a reality for him," and yet another to continually hammer the "do it for Carl" mantra.
  3. If it were an MMO theyd have announced it already. And there is nothing in what we've seen that looks MMOish.
  4. Not for his sake; for others. Not everyone contributing is knee deep in Robotech.
  5. If it were me I'd post the link to our Macroaa licensing thread to the KS and let them read. This Triez clown has no clue what he's talking about.
  6. Well right, and I'm sure if we truly are exploring another galaxy you want that sort of person involved. Just struck me as slightly odd; a little bit of a contridiction. I won't lose any sleep over it.
  7. Can't tell me there isn't someone here who contributed who can enlighten them on the legal facts surrounding the whole Macrosa deal.
  8. The hostility you are seeing has been generated by other factors that have nothing to do with MW and their members. Nah, Seto, that wasn't what he was saying.
  9. Right, but N7 designates special forces, yet they're pretty clear in the video that the main character is an explorer, and doesn't wear combat armor.
  10. I think HG is well aware of their issues within their own fanbase. Even Kevin admitted that Macross fans really had very little to do with the large amount of negativity that has arisen around this KS, and it's failure was not our (Macross fans) doing.
  11. Comic-Con Video Shows Bits and Pieces of the Next Mass Effect Video and more information on the character and Mako. Greatest takeaway from this video: the main character is an explorer. Unsurprising given that the game is said to be based around exploration, but it leaves me a little confused as to why the main character is N7.
  12. It's good to know all that time we put in conspiring with other anime websites to keep Robotech down was worth the effort. Had this KS succeeded we may have been forced to acknowledge the superiority of the Robotech IP over Macross's.
  13. I've always sort of wondered if the live action movie thing didn't fall through because WB found out they couldn't use the Macross designs the movie would inevitably depend on to drive mecha fan interest in the movie. Sure, you would think that they did their due diligence before signing any contracts, but the movie industry is filled with decades of stories where productions imploded because of legal problems that weren't adequately researched or covered ahead of time. I have to imagine when Tobey Maguire first went after the Robotech property he had visions of Valkyries and the SDF-1 dancing in his head.
  14. I actually watched SC when it was on Netflix a year or two ago. I don't know why I did, but man, what a holy mess. It could not have been worse.
  15. First off, spending very little time using the app gave the same effect as playing multiplayer. Secondly, they patched that to make it unnecessary. And thirdly, if anyone thought that was a prelude to an MMO they've never played an MMO.
  16. Where did you get that idea from? Should we also say " I just hope this doesn't end up some sports game" or "I hope this doesn't end up some 2d side-scrolling game"?
  17. How the hell has A1 not commented on this yet?
  18. That Legioss is plain fantastic. I'm so happy to see it finished.
  19. Mass Effect ComicCon transcript clarifies a few details Initial reports from the Mass Effect ComicCon were largely based on people tweeting from within the event, and our own was no exception. We were indebted to Nerd Appropriates twitter coverage, and the same site has now put up a more in-depth transcript from the panel. With fuller responses to the questions now available, a few details about the new Mass Effect game be clarified and expanded upon. The Mako, according to Mike Gamble, is going to be fundamental to the game. BioWare is building a game about exploring places, and obviously [if you're] exploring places [you're going to need] a really handy vehicle. Its said to be capable of tearing around planets really quickly, and Make customisation is something the team has been looking at. Any remaining vagueness to these answers is most likely because the new Mass Effect title is still a number of years away. There were mumblings and suggestions that this might be the game in the series that finally allows non-human main characters in single player, but that seems as if it wont be the case. For sure your main character will be human but in terms of other playable races we cant talk about that at this point, Gamble said. Thats some interesting phrasing, and other playable races would presumably refer to either a return of co-operative multiplayer (hinted at elsewhere in the panel) or a system like Dragon Age: Inquisition where its possible to take control over other squad characters during combat. Regarding the point in time when the game might be set, Gamble says we still want to bring in elements of what you know and love about the previous trilogy that might include certain characters and it might not. So guaranteed, either way that we end up going youre going to see a certain amount of the old with the new. The races you know will to some degree still be present, and new races were also mentioned. Referring to a specific question about Mass Effect timelines and the new title, the reply was this What I will say is that (long sigh) youre NOT playing as Shepard and Shepard is not a central part of the story, so you can assume whatever you need to assume from that. We want to give players new places to explore [and] uncharted areas that havent been explored before.
  20. So I've noticed this group of super-earnest Robotech "fans" posting on the KS and a few times on the RT forums, and well, they're clearly not fans. They're obviously mocking them, but the real RT fans aren't catching on. It's just beyond me how they cannot see what's going on.
  21. Shady as hell, just like the business dealings of their owner.
