Considering this game borrow's much of its engine from VFX 1 (static missile bursts low cielings, cumbersome pointles transforming), mixed with the static backgrounds from VFX-2, I honestly don't see where you can critisize the VFX series there. VFX-2 deserves much more love, despite its ugly ass backdrops, it pioneered how a Macross game should "play," i.e. frenetic missile attacks, 360 degree flying with everything coming at you from any given direction. The PS2 Macross game improved on the formula by removing the static backgrounds, and making everything pretty.

No, the next robotech project is going to be entirely different & original. It will follow the adventures of the SDF-3 as they fold randomly from planet to planet, putting right what once went wrong, and hoping each time that the next fold will be the fold home!

He left after Victory actually (2 series, & 2 movies after Zeta), then came back to bring us the awesomenesss that is Turn-A.

I agree, I love the Basara/Elma duet version of Planet Dance too.

That's easy, play the import Macross PS2 game instead, that'll show her!

It just sounds so...busy! What ever happened to just popping in a disc, playing a game, and turning it off. Maybe I'm just getting old, but I don't need internet in my video games! I do however need import playability!

Wait, so there are no fiber-glass robot cats? How can you have robotech without fiber-glass robot cats! What a gyp!!

Well, it must be JAM, 'cus jelly don't shake like that!

Sadly, it was the first thing that jumped to mind when i read the topic. But here's a link to the intro so everyone can play.

You & me both, I've been trying to tell people that for like 15 years!

Did they ever do more than one episode of that? I remember seeing that one week, and a super-aweful robocop cartoon the next week (also apparently only 1 episode), then re-runs of them, and nothing after that. God, and there was also a one episode Bubsy cartoon a few years after that....

Warning: Vague early 90's TV reference coming up... Ultra Man costume's are easy, just dress up like Jerry O'connel & grab 2 hairspray cans!

Except they'd have to build the encoding into the new hardware, not likely if they're not going to code PS3 games. Only one more month until we find out for sure though.

No one died on the Megaroad, they just gave the finger to the rest of civilization, and dissapeared for parts unknown.

Hmm, a tiny orchestra will tune up everytime you boot up ey. Wonder if they'll let you change it with random MP3's or something.

Hmm, can't help but wonder if they're going to use the original intro, or the badly redone intro from a few years ago.

Call me crazy, but I've never understood the whole trading thing. I still have all my games from when I got my Atari 5200.

I'm pretty sure they still give lead time warnings, at least they did in the 90's. Gundam X was a good example of "oh crap, budget's been cut, we better tie this up fast." Only show I can think of, at least that's been brought over here, was Candidate for Goddess, which literally just abrubtly ended. Big O I don't consider falling under this catagory, since I don't believe it was ever intended to have a finite ending. Then when they tried, they made it worse than the original ending...

The easiest comparison would be Babylon 5. Originally intended for 5 seasons, then threatened by cancellation in the 4th, they rapped up much of the story, only to get that 5th season, and have to stretch it back out.

The designs (so far) are definately ass. The original OVA reached epic awesomeness that warrented its 6-7 year release schedule. While I hope I'm wrong, this doesn't look like it's going to come close in any form of quality. Luckily it still looks to be in the early stages, so hopefully much will change.

Just as long as he sticks around for the second season of Boondocks, he can do whatever else he wants

That's too insanely awesome for $150, hopefully the production run won't be too small.

Well that, and the fact that Kamjin's ship only hit the Daedelus arm...

Perhaps the yellow re-whitens?

Don't forget that the Macross ending also doesn't have all the unnecessary off-screen carnage. That also makes a big difference, as it's not trying to steal the dramatic thunder away from the central characters.
