  1. Trilogy? Last I counted there were 6 games in the series... Metal Gear, Metal Gear 2: Solid Snake, Metal Gear: Ghost Babel(AKA Metal Gear Solid GameBoy Color), Metal Gear Solid(now subtitled Twin Snakes), Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater. ... Okay, 7 if we count Snake's Revenge. If I recall, Kojima was moving away from the beloved Solid Snake because it's hard to justify putting in-game tutorials in when the player character is an elite commando that knows more about combat than the poeple giving him instructions. So I doubt Snake will come back. But it's the main theme of the entire series. It's like asking for a Super Mario game without an insane turtle king kidnapping the princess.
  2. Hey, there can never be enough "Millia is the hotness" threads.
  3. What if they cast Schwarzeneggar as the captain? He wouldn't do it. And if he did? Then I would wear a dress, like Max in M7. *starts a petition to get Arnold onboard for a Star Trek project*
  4. Bandai made this. Isn't it SRW? Altalion pics from toy-wave.com I think he meant in-game. Was it Shin SRW was the one that had anime mechs and was non-SD?

  7. Barely. It almost didn't get the final season. Lacking season 3, it wouldn't have had enough episodes for syndication, which is where the fanbase really grew.
  8. Been done a few times. Using the ARMD attack on a bootleg Great Mazinger was funny enough in SD. The mind shudders at the comic possibilities if it had been to proper scale. ... Which is probably why they keep to SD. They like to spoil our fun.
  9. ALL SHALL FEAR THE MIGHT OF CYBASTER! ... Or however we're spelling it today. I suspect licensing issues may be part of it. ... Though turn-based SRPGs aren't a really huge market in America. And a lot of the shows in SRW never got a lot of attention in America(or have been forgotten, like Getter Robo and Mazinger Z). VFX2 was likely selected for US release because it had the ability to appeal to the masses. Whether you know Macross, Robotech, or nothing, the ability to fly a transforming jet and blow lots of stuff up makes for a universally good idea. The ability to move several SD versions of said jet around a map and watch them blow stuff up... doesn't. SRW's market may easily be just a very vocal niche, and not worth targeting. Unless you do more Gundam Wing and less... everything else. Which is automatically a bad idea because it ups the amount of Gundam Wing stuff.
  10. Milia 1J was, is, and always will be the best Valk ever.
  11. Mechagodzilla.
  12. I had those too. And if the new Ninja Turtles came on at a time where I didn't think the whole world should be asleep, I'd follow it.
  13. I find your lack of faith disturbing... Hey, I'm with Gui... I'd rather watch, at the least, Gundam TV, Z Gundam, and Gundam ZZ to Star Wars any day. *shrugs* I grew up on the original trilogy. It's always gonna hold a special place in my heart. As for the new ones... bleh.
  14. Subliminal messages? Sorry about that. MOD YOUR PS2! IMPORT GAMES! Not just for SRWA3, either. The power of strange foreign games is not to be trifled with.
  15. Yes. The Plus OVA was dubbed. The movie never was, not even for the DVD release.

  17. Actually I *would* like to see a beam sabre. At least one more use -- I can either slice you, run you through, or slap you silly with it. A beam saber's can only do 2 of the 3. Hard to say about the origin of the lightsaber. It's probably a case of borrowing from each other... Lucas probably saw some poster or show with a energy weapon and refined it to the lightsaber, while Tomino probably saw Star Wars and refined his weapon into the beam saber. I fI recall, Tomino was inspired by Star Wars to the point where he wanted to do the Gundam in pure white so it would look like a stormtrooper. Mmmh... If memory serves, I believe Tomino wanted to make the RX-78 looks like the White Knight, the hero from the old traditional legends: I do not think the Stormtrooper design has a real link with this, all the more as imperial soldiers are supposed to be 'evil' and the Gundam on the 'good' side of the One-Year-War... Yeah, but the Empire had WAY cooler uniforms. Vader could whip Ackbar any day.
  18. The force is strong in Mr. Spock.
  19. Wasn't the Gundam SUPPOSED to be a one-off prototype?
  20. I find a balance needs to be struck. Not too flashy, not too dull. *looks at pics of "original style Gundam"* ... Definitely too flat.
  21. In the old days, red = cannon fodder. Or Scotty. scotty was going to die anyways all the drinking he does He outlived Kirk.
  22. i call my toliet veritech. Mine slaps at me when I do that. that must hurt when you try to take a leak You have NO idea...

  24. Fair enough...I had a flat sheet of paper image. It WAS probably stupid. I still maintain the accents on valks make it hard to class them as "white mechs". The big red stripe on Hikaru's 1J chest isn't as pronounced as making the whole dang chest plate solid color, but it breaks the white up very effectively. The doubled lines of the Skull 1 are even more effective. ... And my fav is Millia's 1J, which uses white for the accents. *shrugs*
