RichterX Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Any one knows if Capcom is making a game based on the Macross fighters?? I saw the following, couldn't read anything about it cause don't know japanese... http://www.capcom.co.jp/newproducts/arcade...faga2/robo.html Any one knows anything about it? Quote
JB0 Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 Educated guess: Not Macross, though it was likely inspired by Macross to some degree. First, the title looks to be "Strategic Variable Fighter Rafaga". The logo doesn't look like it says Macross(I'm going by looks and what little english is floating on the page, as I can't actually read japanese, but the fact that Macross only has 4 characters and the game logo has what looks to be 6 is a dead giveaway). Second: The modes are labelled fighter, spinner, and soldier, as opposed to the beloved fighter, GERWALK, battroid trio we all know. Third: The mech doesn't really look much like a Macross design. For example, doesn't Kawamori usually do something with the wings in battroid mode instead of just leaving them hanging out into midair? Quote
Black Valkyrie Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 It appeared in Capcom`s 3D mech fighting Tech Romancer for the Dreamcast in 2000. The game has other robot inspiration designs from super robots, Gundam, evas and even The Monster from Macross. I really loved that game ! Quote
the white drew carey Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 IIRC- Kawamori designed it specifically for this game. There was a thread about this mecha a couple of months ago. Try a search and see if it pops up. Quote
the white drew carey Posted April 13, 2004 Posted April 13, 2004 HERE is the thread. Daeudi states that Kawamori is in the credits as the designer of this mecha. Quote
RichterX Posted April 13, 2004 Author Posted April 13, 2004 That explain it all... Any way... really ugly mecha in fighter mode Quote
Sundown Posted April 14, 2004 Posted April 14, 2004 Fighter mode looks just a little bit A-10-ish. Like if the Huey Super Cobra and the A-10 had a very illegitimate love child. Vaguely reminds me of that blue helicopter/robot from the old Converters line. -Al Quote
