GrimlockCW Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 (edited) ain't seen it mentioned so i figured i'd point out a few things of it. i was in Japan a few monthes ago and saw an awsome preview for a game caleld A.C.E 2 and guess what! VALKS! and even Macross based missions (hell it ends on a Macross DYRL note! won't say how, but it does!) it includes Max's DYRL 1A Hikaru's DYRL 1A Hikaru's DYRL 1S Hikaru's TV 1J with GBP1S armor (this ones a pain to unlock) Fokker's DYRL 1S Milia 639 from DYRL (another pain to unlock really) those are the playables, it also has numerous Zentran ships and other enemy units and an assortment of Macross based Missions! i baught the game when it was released at the end of march (i was still there waiting of course!) and i gotta say, if battlecry or ANY Macross/Robotech ever used controls as simple as these, they'd own the market!! Gerwalk can actually slam into reverse and outrun enemy units/missiles! or bust tot he side and strafe around the enemy in circles (in fact its best to just hang out in Gerwalk and do this often...) they game also includes Mecha from a dozen other series like Brain PowrD, Various Gundam Series, Aura Battler Dunbine, and more! so its a guarantee no american company will get their heads out of their arses and allow this game to come to the north american continent (damned licenses!) or that'd be AWSOME figured i'd give a heads up, it was released in march and i tried to post back then but my registration didn't got through for some reason and i forgot until now. i baught a Japanese PS2 while i was there just for this game (and the DVD's i baught while there as well as a few other games) give it a looks i say! www.ace-game.jp P.S. i also found the Macross Plus PS1 game.. anyone know the controls for this one? i can't figure it out! lol, or rather, their just wierd or something... i never was to good with PS1 titles pre-analog Edited July 7, 2006 by GrimlockCW Quote
Dervish Posted July 6, 2006 Posted July 6, 2006 I too enjoyed this game and the simple controls. I only wish transforming was slightly easier than pulling it up from the weapons menu. Hikaru's TV 1J with GBP1S armor (this ones a pain to unlock)Milia 636 from DYRL (another pain to unlock really) How do you unlock those? Quote

I only wish transforming was slightly easier than pulling it up from the weapons menu.Hikaru's TV 1J with GBP1S armor (this ones a pain to unlock)Milia 636 from DYRL (another pain to unlock really) How do you unlock those? 414092[/snapback] lol theres an easy control set, when you select, select the second one, then its hold the L1 button and press R1 or R2 to change up or down. and it changes weapons to hold L1 and press one of the shape buttons. saves the hassle of selecting weapons individually in combat, and overall speeds things up a LOT, making a much more fast paced game IMO. kk, now for the unlocks! you get them when clearing certain conditions, what they is i dunno, after you first load your game from the start go down one menu and go to the mission select screen, select pretty much any mission then go to the top and launch, now it'll be your usual character select but with new menus! bottom most is the unlockables, they cost a LOT of points, and what ones are visible to unlock depend on what ya did, i dn't have the 1J GBP1, my friend got it, but i dunno what was required. at Gamefaqs.com, there was once a thing that said clear the 5 bous stages but theres more like 9 or so of those, and i've cleared them all, it may require a higher difficulty setting type thing i dunno, ain't been working on it much lately. Milia 639, actually sux without upgrades... even then she's not so hot on the field agianst anythign cept small fry enemies, shes FAST, but weak. since that was so, i was kinda disappointed they didn't throw in Max's Quad for fun since it'd only be a repaint and new face to add. then next menu up from there is something i haven't figured out, go up one more and you can upgrade your units, unlock more attacks, power, combos and so on. the 50000 slot is often blanked out, i'm not sure what opens it but sometimes it'll be upgradeable, i think thats what unlocks special combos (like the ones oftens seen in A.C.E 1, where it was circle, circle, square, and it'd melee, mellee, shoot, and so on) the middle menu, i dunno what it is, its locked to me, and i haven't been playing much lately, as i've a stack of unfinished games to complete now that i've out of the military and have time to do so, i think i shall hmm got Gundam Climax U.C.? my friend had unlocked EVERYTHING in that game, 72 mecha, a ton of vids, and char profiles... every little thing! some of those units are INSANE! specially since the Phsyco Gundam (think SDF1 sized black gundam) is playable! i gnabbed his save of course EDIT: Fixed typo on Milia 639 (9 dangit 9!... my brain no worky) Edited July 7, 2006 by GrimlockCW Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 7, 2006 Author Posted July 7, 2006 The Psyco Gundam is -not- SDF-1 sized. 414367[/snapback] close enough when yer stuck fighting it Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 i finally unlocked the GBP1S 1J you hafta do all the bonus missions, or at least a number of them after you beat the game Milia was just a beat her till the scene where the Macross gets saved by Bodolza's fleet playing Minmeis song saves them from the Meltrandi attack (ya know, like in the movie! Max kicks Milia's tail and they get married and live.... okay maybe not but yeah) if i recall thats what got her anyways i need to dig for info and see if i've unlocked everything.... GBP1S is like using Milia, but a bit slower and with more missile power you can eject the armor (and it auto ejects at a certain armor/health level) but this leaves you with not more than a Valkyrie with no missiles, so its just a gunpod and head cannons but at least you can maneouver fully now if other companies ran the GBP1S like this, it'd be awsome, cause it'd be usable!! ANYWHERE! though A.C.E 2 does force it so strike gear is in space only. but the GPB1S is actually a little weaker than you'd think, but they just made the missiles slightly less accurate and threw in a few other tweaks. your gunpod is still yer best weapon Quote
Razor x Posted July 20, 2006 Posted July 20, 2006 PLEASE tell me this game has VS mode!!!!!!!!!! Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 20, 2006 Author Posted July 20, 2006 (edited) PLEASE tell me this game has VS mode!!!!!!!!!! 417746[/snapback] yeah 1vs1 split screen i was decimating my buddy with my VF1 since i could nail it into gerwalk and haul tail in reverse when he tried to attack me melee my only complaint agianst A.C.E 2 vs the original is in the original you could land on the ships in 2 you can't :/ i wanted so bad to land on the Macross's shoulder and shoot down Meltrandi Edited July 20, 2006 by GrimlockCW Quote

Hikaru's VF-1S Posted July 21, 2006 Posted July 21, 2006 any cheap places to get this game online? =[ Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 21, 2006 Author Posted July 21, 2006 it can also be found on E-bay, buy used, it'll be cheaper. but thats if u can find it. i baught it on launch (March 30'th) for bout 4,000 or so yen Quote
Shinigami Grahf Posted July 23, 2006 Posted July 23, 2006 eBay sells it pretty cheap. Non-auction site-wise, play-asia easily has the best prices. And indeed, this game looks amazing. I really want to play it, mostly for Dunbine and Macross. Hoping I can play it by the time Christmas rolls around. Quote
Skullsixx Posted July 27, 2006 Posted July 27, 2006 After viewing that Valk scene... I must have this!!! Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 27, 2006 Author Posted July 27, 2006 since i posted this in the wrong thread originaly as we got O/T'd agian here Freaking A man! Those are some wicked looking pictures... but what does Battroid mode look like???Okay, I forgot to add: go to www.gamefaqs.com and look up Macross DYRL. They have all the unlockables. I have some stuff unlocked, but others I shall never see, because I SUCK! Muahhahahah! 420047[/snapback] i checked gamefaqs, they only had one for a PS1 game. follow the link up there to the robots section, the first 2 menus of Macross, the first one is just the 1J, the second is the DYRL valks, and its got a couple nice shots of battroid modes, wings spread no less! the 1J looks a little gimp in its battroid as it does close them, but its less noticable than in DYRL Edit: since yer lazy i was looking for the promo movie that hooked me but instead i found these from here theres more of other craft here we go Opening movie doesn't have the right music, prob the pre-release version but its all there awsome vids there at Youtube in the intro they show Hikaru shoot down some missile, yet in game ya can't :/ course the intro is CGI'ed up. that promo vid shows mostly macross scenes so enjoy that one, and its kinda on topic as its DYRL!

The official title is Super Dimensional Fortress Macross(or rather, the japanese equivalent thereof), like the TV show. Just do a search for Macross and you'll find it fast enough. Quote
GrimlockCW Posted July 28, 2006 Author Posted July 28, 2006 ahhhh i prob shoulda looked at the title a little closer eh? lol Quote

GrimlockCW Posted August 1, 2006 Author Posted August 1, 2006 How this for the Jap illiterate? The videos of it make it look all kinds of fun 421407[/snapback] ? A.C.E 2? it is loads of fun, and if you've seen most of the series in it, it follows them almost to closely in the missions to that series. for instance the infamous argument over the crater on Mars in Nadesico between Yurika and Akito is all in there (in the middle of a battle no less! sheesh, irresponsible those two...) only thing it doesn't do is kill certain chars in various points some points are dull just nail every weakling target in the way, othertimes it can be a pain with the targeting system, but once you learn how to use it, its not hard Quote
Ishimaru Posted August 1, 2006 Posted August 1, 2006 So...is it worth spending $40? I saw some gameplay videos on YouTube, it looks good but I was just wondering if the playability is big. Quote

GrimlockCW Posted August 2, 2006 Author Posted August 2, 2006 ahh that, its got some simpler controls than most for it, and you'll prob spend most of yer time in gerwalk and battroid, fighters pretty useless outside of running for distance. the Valkyries actually don't show up till later in the game also, so its a bit of a run to get them unlocked Quote
Razor x Posted August 4, 2006 Posted August 4, 2006 well, i just reorderd A.C.E. 2 from a different place ... http://www.japanvideogames.com/index.html?...05e8f4bfdd4439b should have it next week !!!! cant wait!! cant wait!! Quote
Phren Posted August 6, 2006 Posted August 6, 2006 (edited) Finally got this! It's lots of fun, but I prefer the ground missions to the space ones. I love the not killing people off. Gai is my fave playable choice so far XD Besides Macross, Nadesico, BrainPowerd, and the various Gundam-stuff, Anyone have a list of the other series mixed in there, there are a lot I don't recognise, and I'd like to check them out possibly. And deciphering Katakana gives me headaches.. Looking specifically for where that lady with the big hair is from. ("Kau - ha - resshii" - or something) Edited August 6, 2006 by Phren Quote

lechuck Posted August 15, 2006 Posted August 15, 2006 razorx go to wikipedia and search for the game title. I think all the menu option are listed there. This game is cool. Kicking but with valkyries is priceless. The only slight nitpick I have is that the vf-1 models are all missing the hip crossbar in battroid mode... Quote
