Convectuoso Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 (edited) New Macross game to be released on PS4, Switch and Steam this year Edited January 9, 2023 by Convectuoso Quote
jvmacross Posted January 9, 2023 Posted January 9, 2023 cool, I'll get a copy for either switch or PS4 Quote
Convectuoso Posted January 9, 2023 Author Posted January 9, 2023 Since it's a sidescroller it may be more fun for mobile gaming, so I'll definitely get it for the Switch Quote

Mommar Posted January 10, 2023 Posted January 10, 2023 Looking at it more I think it might not be a top-down/side scrolling shooter. I think it's more like a twin stick shooter, at least in movement. Quote
no3Ljm Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 No PS5? It's 2023 now, BW. Guess it's a good thing that I didn't sold my PS4. Quote
MKT Posted January 11, 2023 Posted January 11, 2023 Last Macross game I played was Macross DYRL shooter for Sega Saturn. This new shooter would be a good time to get back into Macross gaming. Quote
twich Posted January 12, 2023 Posted January 12, 2023 I hope that this is just the beginning of new Macross games coming out for consoles. Twich Quote
Bolt Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 This why I bought my PS4 years ago . Been waiting forevz' for something Macross.. Quote
jvmacross Posted January 13, 2023 Posted January 13, 2023 re-installed a couple of emulators on my Android....been playing the Macross Arcade games and Scramble Valkyrie during lunchtime...LOL I think the last Macross game I bought was for the PSP I assume this game should work on the PS5 Quote

ScrambledValkyrie Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 So would this be released for North America with the new WWD plan? Also wondering if there will be physical releases or just digital download... Quote
jvmacross Posted January 14, 2023 Posted January 14, 2023 Kinda reminds me of this.... https://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/topic/48916-free-macross-video-game-for-windows-and-mac/#comment-1561900 55 minutes ago, ScrambledValkyrie said: So would this be released for North America with the new WWD plan? Also wondering if there will be physical releases or just digital download... Not sure....part of the copyrights show "84"....so DYRL merch, along with SDFM merch, cannot be released without a HG license outside of Japan due to the recent "deal" between HG and BW involving the Macross franchise.... If it were to be a WWM release....minus the SDFM/DYRL valks...I wouldn't be interested anyway....so I'll be getting the Japanese PS4 or Switch version...assuming it has a physical release.... Quote

Thankfully both PS4 and Switch are not region locked, so Japanese physical should work fine. Back in the day that would have been a barrier, like with the PS2 Macross game. Quote

There are some PS4 games that will not run on a PS5. Like I said earlier, it seems odd that they are aiming for a PS4/Switch release instead of a PS5/PS4/Switch release. The devil is in the details they say. I just hope that this will be easily acquired in the USA. Twich Quote
twich Posted May 8, 2023 Posted May 8, 2023 So, it has been a few months, any word or details for this title? Twich Quote

twich Posted May 26, 2023 Posted May 26, 2023 I just hope we get word of worldwide release for this and not just Japan. Twich Quote
Convectuoso Posted May 26, 2023 Author Posted May 26, 2023 (edited) Since there's no mention of SDFM characters, i think an international release is quite possible Edited May 26, 2023 by Convectuoso Quote

Graham Posted July 3, 2023 Posted July 3, 2023 Hopefully, we'll get a release date soon and information on whether this will be released internationally, outside of Japan. Quote
Mommar Posted July 4, 2023 Posted July 4, 2023 Christ, I cannot finish watching that person "play" the game. Quote
Chronocidal Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 I'm really curious who was asking for a Raiden/Gradius schmup mashup for Macross after the past few games have been nothing remotely like that. Or maybe that's just all they could get funding for? Is it supposed to be for the mobile market? Quote
Stampeed Valkyrie Posted July 6, 2023 Posted July 6, 2023 So I got a chance to try out a Demo on a laptop at AX2023. This game reminds me very much of an old PS1 game called Philosoma, especially how it changes its views as a shooter. I had a chance to get hands on for about 15 min or so for the Demo. Only 1 pilot playable, it looked nice, but I was not overly impressed, I'll hold my judgement until it gets an official release. I snapped a pic at the con, not me playing. Quote

Were you able to ask anything about the game? Perhaps regarding a possible release that would include all of the Macross VFs? Quote
