Abombz!! Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Does Shoji Kawamori have any input on the release of these Macross games? Did he have any part in the production? History and mech design most likely, not much else.... otherwise I doubt he would have allowed the release of M3. <_< Quote
Effect Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 As much as I'm looking forward to this game(will be picking up a boot disc to play) just because its by Sega/AM2, it doesn't mean it will be great, good, or even so so. Having such high hopes will just ruin things for you when the game doesn't live up to the high standards you've some how placed upon the game in my opinion. The game may used DYRL? designs but wasn't it said that it actually follows the SDF Macross TV storyline from beginning to finish? Quote

It will most likely follow the DYRl story... with Hikary already a pilot and everything. Or maybe its just SDF Macross with DYRL designs, for a possible US release. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 These two screenshots alone lead me to believe it will follow the SDF-Macross storyline with, as Abombz stated above, DYRL designs. The first is, obviously, Booby Trap. And the second is when the silly humans (who are meddling with things beyond their comprehension) decide to fold a tad to close to the surface, dragging half of South Ataria island with them to Pluto.

Well... we don't know exactly what happened before the DYRL movie. For all was know... Booby Trap did happen and so did the folding over South Atalia island. All that we can be sure about the DYRL story line is that Hikaru was already a pilot and he doesn't meet Minmei untill she becomes a star. Quote
TheLoneWolf Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 I'm not too impressed with the screenshots thus far. They are the best 3D Valkrie models I've seen yet, but trumping previous games' Valkyries isn't much of a feat. Considering it's 2003, the graphics look heavily dated. Here's hoping the gameplay is on point. Quote

But like I learned with Wind Waker.... a game looks far different in motion. Quote

I hoping this game will at least be fun.....from AM-2's track record I'll be keeping my fingers crossed. Is the animated intro of the Sega Saturn's verisoin of DYRL going to relate to this game?

Effect Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Hmm maybe this could be all DYRL?, like said it could start off the same way as SDF did and then fill in the things DYRL? didn't cover(events before the movie actually starts) and then throught the movie and then after it. That would be nice . What would be slick of them would be for them to actually include subtitles in the game(knowing that people outside of japan will most likely import the game if they can't official release it outside of Japan).

TheLoneWolf Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 But like I learned with Wind Waker.... a game looks far different in motion. You make a very good point. I guess I'm still jaded after the previous 3D flops. Effect: You could be on to something, there's precedent where Japanese games have been released along with full English text (ie: Vampire Savior for Saturn). The only problem would be the sheer amount of text and dialogue in your typical Macross game. Here's hoping anyway. Quote
bob joe mac Posted August 27, 2003 Posted August 27, 2003 Hmm maybe they'll do the plot kinda like how SRW @ did it put combine the two plots into one and make them fit! But whatever I'll buy it anyway. Quote

LOL... I would love to fly around and watch Shin Getta and Mazin Kaiser sink a Zentradi ship. Or maybe watch Amuro and Char blow up som Glaugs. Quote
the white drew carey Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Is this game any good? Let's just say that it's better than Robotech: Crystal Dreams... Quote
Damaramu Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Well, I'm pretty much psyched for the game. Hopefully AM2 will churn out something good.....hmmmm..... Quote
Bub Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Well, I'm pretty much psyched for the game. Hopefully AM2 will churn out something good.....hmmmm..... Hope fully they will. They're the same guys that brought to us aerowings / aero elite that is more flight simulator than an arcade shooter. I REALLY REALLY wish there's a COCKPIT VIEW. Quote
BYG-DAMN Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 The screenshots of this game make BC look like a cheap puppet show. The only reason I got BC when it came out was because it was only 30 bucks at CC. But this game, if its brough over here and the game play is good, I'm all over it. BC got pretty repetitive after a while. I'm hoping Bandai wants to bring it here. Because Bandai does whatever they want, they have a team of super sentai ninja lawyers ready to assasinate HG's claims. Quote
Hoptimus Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 I have faith in AM2. Me too. Plus I can probably attribute the low poly counts on the fact that there is alot onscreen and they are probably going for speed rather than prettiness. Quote
Chowser Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 (edited) Well if anyone wants to get it, but not have to mod their PS2 you could get this...The Swap Magic PS2 boot disk http://www.easybuy2000.com/store/playstati...20II/index.html wow, never knew about the slide card, i've got my ps2 modded with the PS2 Cover using the swap magic discs and it works great. my buddy had the knife method, but i didn't want to do that, i stood in line for 4 hours way back when to get my PS2, so it's one of the originals, so no more warranty. i didn't mine opening it up. had to clean the dust out anyway But this is one game I will be importing! I just wished for once that they would design all the games using the english language. I know most/all the people in Japan can read/write english. I just started my japanese class last night, it's going to be a long year... Edited August 28, 2003 by Chowser Quote
Apollo Leader Posted August 28, 2003 Posted August 28, 2003 Sorry I'm a week late with this, but better late then never! At the end of the paragraph is a glimmer of a hope for a US release. Quote
Gyges Posted August 29, 2003 Posted August 29, 2003 Meh. That quote could be re-interpreted as saying, "I have no objection, in the abstract, to Americans buying and playing my game." It's not even as strong a comment as "We've considered looking into the possibility of the eventual chance of releasing the game in other markets, such as the U.S." I, for one, am planning on im porting my first game ever if it turns out to be any good...

I agree with you. That last paragraph doesn't seem too overly enthusiacstic We'll just have to wait and see Quote

I agree as well, I won't get excited, until I read, "...it is slated for release in the U.S. in [insert date here]..." I'm not going to pay about $100 (about $60 to for the game, and about $40 to get a boot disk) to play this, I like Macross as much as everyone here but $100 to play a game, it's just not going to happen at this point in time.

Murphy Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 hey what happened to the pics of this game on gamespot? Quote
Adventure Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 (edited) Forget about the pictures... check out these movies! http://www.bandaigames.channel.or.jp/list/...ross/index.html Just click on the 'Movie' button and a pop-up window will open. Unfortunately right now not all movies can be viewed... but the ones I was able to watch were great!!! Real authentic Macross sounds!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm really leaning more and more towards going to Japan in X'mas... but not only is the plane ticket expensive, but the games I want to buy (Gundam Sora + Macross) will be too... $$$ Edited August 31, 2003 by Adventure Quote
Chowser Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 well, it looks like the server is too busy, here's the first four movies mms://stream.odn.ne.jp/media042/Macros01_300k.wmv mms://stream.odn.ne.jp/media042/Macros02_300k.wmv mms://stream.odn.ne.jp/media042/Macros03_300k.wmv mms://stream.odn.ne.jp/media042/Macros04_300k.wmv i'm getting the 404 for the 5th. ah well, guess i'll have to wait for middle of the night JAPAN time (it's 5:33am for me right now) Quote
UN Spacy Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 I just tried checking the first movie and it played kinda choppy.......it was great to hear the classic DYRL dogfight music again. Wow......I agree with the rest of you guys....this could be my first imported PS2 game. Quote
Oihan Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 I PRAY to God that they bring this game to the US!!!! And to the XBox! Quote
Apollo Leader Posted August 30, 2003 Posted August 30, 2003 This game just handed Battlecry its lunch! Quote
Lightning Posted August 31, 2003 Posted August 31, 2003 I love it! just wish that the 5th movie would open... Quote
