    Because he did some parts swapping. Genesic GGG is the big one with animals everywhere. Original 3G has vehicles that clip onto the lionbot. And then he swapped heads and forearms for fun. I strongly recommend it. It's a damn fun show. http://anime-in-action.edwardk.info/ Have to scroll down a bit, as GGGFinal is listed before the original series. Yeah, the Goldion Hammer was a bit of an absurd upgrade, even for a super robot program. And it's one of the more obvious concessions to the toy line. Official excuse was the backlash from the hammer was too powerful for Gaogaigar to bear by itself, so they needed an upgrade to use it. The hammer itself was needed because 3G's built-in killer move put too much strain on the pilot, and was gonna kill him eventually. But they never did explain why the upgrade needed to be a triple-changer that transformed into a robot and a tank as well as a giant fist. Basically, it was a way to make the new robot more appealing, since it turned into a weapon for Big G.

    Voltron. Genesic 3G is a tad overdone for my tastes. Honestly, hair? Forearms also need a redesign. Cylinders are lame. As far as Hell and Heaven goes... http://licos.web.infoseek.co.jp/mia/other/GGGG/56.jpg It can't QUITE get the fists together. It might be "close enough" though.

    That's because everything but CRT is actually a fixed-resolution device. If you feed it anything other than native res, the display has to up/downsample to that resolution, which invariably introduces scaling artifacts.

    Coulda been worse. I would've stuck him with "Yang Neumann's bitch."

    You actually thought Arnold was natural? 361018[/snapback] *shrugs* More like didn't care. 361046[/snapback] That guy is more important than Jesus, Ghandi, and the Dali Lama combined. EVERYTHING he does is important. 361189[/snapback] Jesus, Ghandi, and the Dali Lama were a combiner trio? Why don't people mention that more often?

    *slowly walks around box for 10 minutes so footprints don't fill too fast* *gets bored, breaks your neck* Yes, I actually did that in MGS on mroe than one occasion.

    Oddly, I thought the cloning/genetic engineering bit was a tad silly. Why can't Snake just be good, instead of good because he's a customized clone of someone who was good? ... It didn't hurt that the super-smart, super-sighted genetically-engineered super soldiers couldn't see 4 feet ahead of themselves and would follow footprints in a circle around a crate until you got bored and snapped their neck.

    Damn, and I thought I was just pulling stuff out of my ass.

    Not exactly. But as I expected, they're made with PCs in mind. I don't think they'd play at all on a standard DVD player. 360874[/snapback] There's also a 480i allowed in DVD spec. It sucks, though.

    If I had to guess, I'd say they don't like the funky resolutions needed for a 16*9 aspect ratio. Just an offhand guess, though.

    No gay space monsters eh?! The hero doesn't wear a dress!? No pink space equipment with boobs!??? NO WONDER YOU DIDN"T LIKE IT! 360886[/snapback] It didn't have any thickly-accented steroid-abusing Californian governors ether.

    Yes it was. So let's see if I've got this: rotoscoping involves drawing over pre-existing live footage? For example, since the original He-Man cartoons were rotoscoped, does that mean there was a live action representation of those episodes, that was then drawn over? 360813[/snapback] Bingo.

    Add me to the Liked Titan AE list. And I'm glad DeathHammer isn't remaking anything.
  15. JB0
    But it's okay, because there'll be a host of players with either BIOS updates or cleverly hidden menus to disable that "feature." 480p? Or 720i/p?
  16. JB0
    You're mistaken. Snake deals with all problems by sneaking up behind someone in a cardboard box, jumping out and strapping C4 to their back, then hiding around a corner until they get near someting flammable or a large number of friends.

    Ferries eh? So M7 fans haul people, cars and trucks across large bodies of water? I think you meant to say fairies, like this one for example! Actually, I think he meant ferrets.

    It's Ram-Man!!! 360305[/snapback] *laughs* I was thinking the exact same thing. Except replace "Ram-Man" with "That HeMan guy with the spring legs and the helmet... what hte hell was his name? Something-Ram?"

    Yes, but Kojima clipped a chip on his neck to immobolize him while he hooked the brainwashing goggles up, then programmed him to A. do whatever Kojima asks, and B. bark like a dog when ever he hears the word "kleptomaniac."

    MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAC-ROOSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! </themesong>

    Maybe he's doing both at once... remember Psycho Mantis?

    So are you, it seems. Won't shoot your sacred cows if you stay away from mine, deal? Reflex sucked. It's an indefensible screwup. End of story. No. They didn't. Other studios DID follow HG's example, for the record. Ask a Sailor Moon fan about the Dic dub sometime. Or a Clamp fan about Cardcaptors. And those are MILD compared to the HG hackjob.

    The "normal" ones are post-count based. All the one-offs are custom titles. I don't think any were by request.
  24. JB0
    Right. Hence the reverb effect. It's a cheap way to fake an alien voice being overlaid by a translator. Oh gods, you're one of THOSE people. It's reaction, as in nuclear reaction. "Reflexor" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. That's one of the biggest translation screwups HG made("protoculture = battery" being a rewrite issue). Yes, Sammy's a valid US name. Too bad the character's not from the US. Don't worry. Eventually HG will go under. Yah. That was right before everything went to crap. Manga released Macross Plus in the US in '95, and HG blew up a few years later(if I recall, the new broader interpretation of their license started when people imported Mac Plus merchandise). Probably because that was about when they realized Robotech was old enough to have "retro appeal."

    Unfortunately, Kojima has already said that the chances of him doing another MGS beyond this are small (or if there is one, he's said that more likely than not he'd let someone else direct it)... it would be a hollow threat at best at this point. 359981[/snapback] He also said that after 2, though. Anyways, strip the Solid off and just make it Metal Gear.. He's having a lot of fun with Acid as far as I can tell.
