What are /v/'s thoughts on video games with giant robots?

Yeah that pretty right well sums it up now doesn't it?
People just don't care about mech games any more. Not like they used to, at least. It's tragic.
I'd like to blame EA. They used titanfall as a way to try and introduce the casual crowd to the genre, and then completely fucked it up, as they do with everything.

I can't see it working with souls gameplay, the ranged in those games are shit. Swordplay with mechs is cool and all, but I want to be quick as fuck and jump/fly around in my mech games.
Openworld could probably work somehow.
>>339991361

Wouldn't mind a spiritual sequel to R.A.D.
Piloting giant mechs from the view points of drones, planes, helicopters, top of buildings, etc.
>>339991145
I really want to play that game, but I've never owned and xbox.
Teyandee in SRW when? If Iron Leaguer can make it in, so can they.
>>339986869
They're pretty cool, but i only really like them when they are at least several stories tall or action figure sized. anything person sized might as well be designed to be a qt android.
>>339991560
I'm not saying 'dark souls but with mechs' will make for a game that'll do justice to the genre. I'm just saying it's the only way to get normies to care about mechs.

>>339988363
No fuck EA, they were actually ashamed of the robots and tried to call it something else
>>339996198
being autistic about the term Titan was weird but they've already gone and given them swords in the sequel so I think they're going to embrace mecha tropes.
It was probably all about trademarks anyways.
>>339996198
It's all either recycled Z3 sprites for series that have been in 4+ games in a row by now, without any significant improvements to the lackluster animation, half the new additions are plotless, and all of the series that weren't just copy pasted from Z3 besides Mazinger ZERO appear to be equally poorly animated.
Wake me up when the Z3 team gets banished to the shadow realm, christ.
>>339996298
What trademark would that possibly conflict with? Mech/mecha is just a generic term for giant robots and other mechanical shit.
>>339996198
>ZERO

Too fucking late.
>>339996470
Well I meant them really wanting to push the Titan(tm) brand but that doesn't really make much sense the more I think about it.
>>339996470
>>339996298
>>339996198
>>339988363
You guys are fucking retarded. ONE person on the team was autistic about calling them mechs. It's pretty clear everyone else involved liked mecha
Titanfall was great and the sequel will have a single player.
>>339996647
>Doesn't make sense
Because they never pushed anything. You're making stuff up in your head. One person in an interview said "They're Titan's not mechs"
It's like being upset in Gundam they call them "Mobile suits" instead of Mechs
>>339996470
They did touch up some sprites
>>339996647
Yeah that's what I don't get either. You can call Titans mechs just fine and no one with a brain would get confused. It's just the same kind of terminology as Mobile Suits, Aura Battlers, Knightmare Frames, LFOs, etc.
>>339996798
They need a hell of a lot more than "some" touchups. I hope that it only looked as bad as it did because they had to rush shit out to make a trailer or something, but I dunno man. Half of Yamato's attack in the trailer was a 3D model for some reason.
>>339996919
It's okay, at least there's might gaine
I felt like pacific rim drummed up a lot more interest in the mecha genre than anything in the last decade has.

Kinda like this?
>>339986869
1 4 and 6 are preferred, 2 is acceptable. 3 and 5 tend to be aesthetically unappealing to me
>>339997242
Well yeah, you can drum interested about anything if you slap some Hollywood on it
>>339988363
>People just don't care about mech games any more
I love mech games but the problem with the mech genre is it's incredibly diverse and those diversities are entire universes apart.
For example I hate, HATE gundam mechs/anything with art even slightly reminiscent of kamen rider but yet I really like the aesthetic of ZOE.
I hate mechwarrior but love armored core.
The kind of mech game I enjoy would be like a bastard mix of HAWKEN, Armored Core stripped of its gundam influences and ZOE for advanced-shit-gets-real mechs.
Gameplay perfection would be a mix of HAWKEN and Darksouls turned into mech gameplay, where every movement has potential and punishment, a good mix of clunk and agility, so it isn't shit like mechwarrior but it isn't over the top like ZOE.
You can't please mech autists like me.
Sensor mask style is always the coolest.
>>339997319

I've only played Xeno games, where do I go to expand

I for ACV:FA a while back on sale and for some reason the controls were so obtuse I couldn't even complete the tutorial, and I havn't touched it since. The last mech game I had played was ZoE 1/2 and then long before that AC2.

Holy fuck, are you me?
I always despised robots being basically metal super heroes like gundam and what the fucking ever. TTGL gets a pass from me however purely because plot, cast, and "plot".
I always preferred mecha being basically the "tanks" of a universe, a walking vehicle of mass destruction to be used tactically.
>>339997731
Kind of the same, depends. Hope you've seen VOTOMs
>>339997731
Plenty of people think the way you do. Plenty of people disagree.
The real point to take away from his post is "you can't please mech autists like us".

>>339996198

There are too many of them, the only one I watched was SKL
>>339998026
I prefer stuff like VOTOMs to "AHHH MY GIANT MECH IS THE COLOR OF THE RAINBOW AND I HAVE A RAINBOW SWORD IT'S POWERED BY MY FEELINGS AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"
>>339997410
While I like a wider variety of stuff than this anon, he is right
Mecha is anything but a uniform genre.
>>339997731
>Holy fuck, are you me?
If I am, then you've got gud taste.
To be honest though, maybe I just surround myself with quality mech autists, but people I know agree with me on it too.
Gundam is to mechs what superheroes are to adventure comics. It's over the top, predictable, boring and part of peoples tolerance for it is just based on how old it is.
I want my missing link between tank and weapons platform and sometimes seperate spaceflight units or experimental air enabled frames.
>>339998148
Watch Shin Mazinger Z and Mazinkaiser, they're not directly connected
Read the Getter manga then watch the OVAs in any order

>>339998113
I'd rather only have 5 new series with really fucking good animations than all the previously used shit in one game now.
I would actually like it if people got more fantastical with mecha. Stuff like Escaflowne or Galient is great because it isn't the usual gritty military setting. It also allows for a different aesthetic and more varied designs.
>>339997731
So, Battletech?
>>339998454

why not just get into kamen rider type stuff or watch power rangers or superheroes

Look at that I can use hyperbole as well. Enjoy your mechs that look like a walking junkyard, I guess.
>>339998320
I have yet to even watch Unicorn. Is it seriously what I just described?
>>339998872
>Is it seriously what I just described?
No. But considering your thoughts on Gundam there's a high chance you won't like it anyways.
>>339998861
I like ZOE tho
>>339999021
I never mentioned Gundam at all. I like some of it. Yet to see every single series because I am just one man
>>339990748
Nice
>>339998872
>Is it what I described
Kind of, but it's because of NT powers which are basically MUH FEELINGS so you wouldn't like it.
And the mech changes colors based on what feelings, too.
>>339999021
As a completely neutral party in this discussion who's watched, not all, but a large portion of UC gundam including Unicorn, Unicorn is a bunch of stupid bullshit. It falls into all the same pitfalls that make Gundam into hackneyed nonsense as time goes on. The same old shit in a different wrapper.
What's that, there's an Ace Female Pilot with a Troubled Past? She's the pilot of an Experimental Mobile Armor? GEE, I WONDER WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
Thunderbolt managed to tell a more gripping story over the span of a few months and a fraction of the runtime than Unicorn did in fucking YEARS.

>>340003592
Fafner's only hope is to get into the next Alpha/Z series that way Banpresto doesn't have to literally make models for close to two dozen units, with upgrades for nearly all of them, along with Festum.
Majestic Prince I feel they might just be waiting for the movie so they can have the full story and option.
>>340002705
Season 2 actually flies off the rails pretty quickly. The whole GBE weapons test is completely different in the manga.They're working on a second Chimera that goes fucking nuts.The manga is complete now so you can finish the story completely.

>>340004848
The only thing it has in common is the character designer.
It's plot is basically your classic Science Fiction story about aliens invading Earth, humans trying to survive and the Alien vs Human vs Human struggle.
It starts off a bit heavy on the Eva and really low budget, but it quickly becomes it's own thing and while the animation might not be the best, the fights are pretty enjoyable when you realize that they're trying to be tactical and use strategy.
Each subsequent iteration of the franchise gets higher production values.
Also if you ever have any plot questions most of /m/ will answer since the entire lore of the world is spread out across outdated data books and websites

I'd be done for a Mecha game with DD's combat system.
>>340010287
I do like the idea but how would that even work?
>>340010703
If we're going to directly rip off Dragon's Dogma
Standard archery = guns
Special archery moves = missiles/artillery
Magic = super weapon with limited use or long recharge
Melee = laser sword or some shit
Currency / level up = customize your mech at the shop/base
Open world = alien planet being colonized
Cities / politics = settlers/explorers/scientists/military
Enemies = alien monsters and rival PMC chucklefucks
Grigor = giant alien monster that also acts a metaphor for the planet being pissed off at the invaders

Pretty sure it has a bigger budget than a fucking PSP exclusive that had double the included series and significantly more new additions.

>>340014876
>you can't just neither keeping all old series or adding new ones over and over again, that's literally impossible
No shit, I wouldn't expect it to have all the same series as Z with even more additions, but instead it's cut most of the series from Z while also barely adding anything new at the same time. And it added one of the worst shows of the last several years despite what it had to choose from.
>animating for 480x272 screen totally cost same as animating for 1080p
Can't be too much worse since Z3 had 32 series compared to V's 26.

>trying to find the first Patlabor OVA series
That shit was such a chore to find, wasn't seeded on Nyaa or KAT. Ended up finding a torrent link to one of those "seed/leech ratio" sites in a months old /m/ thread on an archive site.
Still deciding on either to watch Platlabor or Gunbuster next, and I heard Giant Robo is a great watch for anyone who liked Big O so I need to check that out soon.

you can't please everyone ever
I'd love to see 2D Patlabor for example. But that doesn't happening. I'm just glad that we first time ever in SRW franchise get English release period. Whatever shows it has.
What is a cool Gundam or similar robot game on PS4 in English? I dont want to have to import some shit I can't even read or anything like that
And what is a good Gundam show to watch if you've only seen G Gundam and Wing? I saw whatever Toonami played of Gundam and my experience mostly ends there. I think there's some new weekly Gundam show, is that good?
>>340015369
aren't it up on BakaBT since ever?
>>340015661
Gundam Breaker 3, gameplay is pretty mindless and not all that varied, but god tier customatization
>>340001285

Yes.
>CTRL+f "Mechwarrior"

Wat 2 fuk /v/, post more mechs
>>340016104
cause MWO sucks, everyone forgot or already played too much of 3 and 4, and anyway MechCommander 1 is better than anything Battletech ever had.
Pretty fucking cool.

Is this babbies first mech game?
>>340015661
Gundam Breaker 3. Watch The original, 08thMS X, Victory and 00.

>not including Z and War in the pocket
granted they are not the best out there, but why?
>>339997731
>I always despised robots being basically metal super heroes like gundam
It's a shame people always think of Gundam Wing, Seed, and 00 when they think of gundam nowadays. Gundam pioneered the "real" robot genre and was one of the first series to go beyond just trying to sell toys.
>I always preferred mecha being basically the "tanks" of a universe, a walking vehicle of mass destruction to be used tactically.
Gundam is like this for much of the UC timeline. It's only in late UC or the alternate universes that it devolves into plot armor and rainbow beamspam.
Try playing Gundam Side Story of Zeonic Front for a more "realistic" gundam game.
Which video game robot can take on a krogoth?
>>340016434
Zeta is not for everybody, I just forgot about 0080.
>>340016648
But it got bestdeadgirl
I'd say that ZZ is not for everybody, while Z after all is recommended.
>>340016478
Backing up anon here.
Side Story and Zeonic front play sorta like a Mecha version of Rainbow Six. Where you have to direct your squad around, etc.
Though the later shit with invincible gundams makes for some ok mindless fun in the games like breakers or the dynasty Gundam stuff.
>>340016776
Shouldnt it be the other way. Z sorta relys far more heavily on needing to know past stuff, while ZZ springboards from there and would be possibly easier to jump into as a result.
However if you want logical sense, just watch OG, O8MS team, then Z and ZZ
>>340016776
Usually people who don't like Zeta likes ZZ, the other way or don't like either so I simply don't recommend it at all.
>>340017085
well you did recommend him to watch original, so it would make sense to watch Z afterwards
or you meant those recommendation as entirely separate entries aka "start from whenever you want"? Then I agree I guess.
>>340017175
I actually like both, you just don't need to watch them right after each other. Changing of pace and mood is too big.
>>339990229
>Front Mission in tier 5
B-but it's popular in Japan!
>>340017470
why are there no new Front Mission games then
NERF THIS!

nah, I'm aware about Evolve
tho if you can say WHY Evolve exist in the first place - I'd love to learn
>>340015693
Torrented Patlabor a while ago and only learned of BakaBT a few months ago. I'm a straight up pleb when it comes to anime and knowing where to get it, all I really know about mech/mecha is vidya games, which I've been playing since I was in elementary school.
>dad bought armored core 1 back when I was 5 or 6
>tfw customization in most games played in the last almost 2 decades has less depth than a ps1 game from 1997
>>340016478
I fully watched 0079 about a year ago with a friend and it was a different show than I remember watching as a kid on Toonami, way more dark and anti-war and had good foreshadowing for what it was. I enjoyed the shit out of it, and still need to watch Zeta.
Then we watched 00 because he said it was good, I couldn't enjoy it because it had more asspulls than a clown who swallowed his handkerchief. Also like Code Geass, characters constantly sidestep or never bring up their issues with each other for the sake of conflict, and that gets old fast when the characters are just constantly acting stupid.Old russian dad was too good for that show.
>>340017903
I remember that run on Toonami. Since we had just gone to war, they went and fucking neutered the ending to the series. A lot of friends said similar things on watching it years later.
"Wait, i remember this on toonami. Was it always like this?"
>>340000518
>critting an enemy when they're almost dead
>tfw you know the same feel as roger smith
>>340017849
Front Mission was supposed to end at 5 but Square decided to milk the series just a bit more.
They wanted it to make it appeal more to Westerners so they sold it to Double Helix - creators of Silent Hill Homecoming, the new Killer Instinct, and the new Strider.
Double Helix then turned the game into a generic arena TPS with a plot you'd see in a Michael Bay movie.
Basically, Double Helix is where games go to die.
>>339990229
Gundam seed does not need to be mentioned. Evar
What game has the best mechs and why is it Front Mission?
>>340018208
dang it, square.
>>339986869
AC6 WHEN
>>340017903
Zeta is good, but even darker than 0079, for better or worse. Lots of politics towards the latter half of the series.
If you really want on-the-ground low-level action try 08th MS Team. It really is as good as they say it is.
>>340002263
Where the fuck does phantom crash/SLAI land on that chart?
Some of the best mecha games I've played.
>>339996650
That's Titanfall?
Dear god, it looks like it was made in 2006.
>>340018896
That chart appears to be mostly anime.We need a mecha vidya version of it.
RAISE YOUR FLAG
I like mechs that are big and heavy
What are some mech games with mechs like that
just started playing xenogears cause I loved XBC and XBX so much, I'm in the cave after the fight with the sand pirate dude, how far in am I? Is this as long as the chronicles games?
>>340013596
Is that from that Muv Luv game in development?
>>340013596
>>340016104
Mechwarrior's fucking dead, buddy.
MWO is ass and it killed Living Legends with a cease & desist.
>>340019214
Front Mission 3-5
Or the PS2 Armored Cores
If you want western there's MW4

>You have ranks/relationships with each corp that determine the parts you can buy.
>Building relationship with one corp will cause it to decay with their biggest rival/s.
>Gain rep with corps faster by using their gear, loading a mech with all BFF parts will build BFF fast because you're basically advertising for them while carrying out your objectives.
>PVP based on factional alliances, opposing/mutually exclusive contracts. You take a mission to destroy an Arms Fort, an enemy player connects to defend it.
>Sometimes allied mechs from friendly corps connect, they have secret objectices, IE, help you destroy the AF is their main objective, but they get paid extra for each member of your MT/normal backup shot down by the AF before it's destruction, because their corp wants to weaken yours while simultaneously garnering favor with it, and wiping out a threat to them, all in one fell swoop.
>Arena/Order rank PVP provides non-faction based PVP so two players working for the same corp can fight each other.
>High reputation with corps allows you to call in their top NEXTS/Arms Forts as support as well as giving you access to their overpowered/highlevel parts.
>Dynamic faction stronghold/force deployment, if you wipe out a base for one corp, they deploy a unit of normals and tanks which move to and secure it, and then it deploys patrols, all of which you can encounter out in the world and assist if they run into trouble for extra faction rep.
>Arena/Simulator lets you join large 8v8/16v16 player battles taking place with two armies, complete with AF's, squaring off.
>Call in VOB packs for fast travel.
>>340019214
XBX has some damn good stompy mechs
>>340019214
I always thought the mechs from RAD had a real feeling of weight to them.
>>340019510
shame that they float during battle
anyway, XCX is fucking awesome. Shame we won't get more of the same with sequel, probably will be way less open and more story focused.
shame, I loved everything about XCX
>>340018841
Anon you just replied to, I'm not the anon talking about disliking less grounded mecha, I just saw some posts about gundam and wanted to throw some opinions out because I rarely get to talk about mecha these days. On 08th MS Team, I've watched it before and but that was years ago and all I can really remember was the Gouf fight and that one fight at the lake when one of the MS gets its head torn off, def been meaning to rewatch it.
Though on the note of less down to earth mechs/mecha I totally would be down for a game were you could augment your firearms/actions with magic like Skies of Arcadia. Throw in knightly orders, and some DEUS VULT, and the customization on the AC series and I would be erect.

yeah, I wish skell combat was as fleshed out as ground combat is, and that punches were actual punches not just a glowing ball. Still, some of the most well animated mechs in vidya and damn fun to play around with.
>>340018986
True, we need a mecha version of it.
Doesn't change the travesty that is the lack of Phantom Crash games.
>>340019857
>Still, some of the most well animated mechs in vidya and damn fun to play around with.
I literally spent hours just gazing on mechs in various environments and animations
>that feeling when you buy new doll and start transforming it in vehicle mode
that was the shit
>>340017903
If you like Patlabour and 0079 style 'realistic' mecha I'd heavily advise you watch Armored Trooper VOTOMS, it's amazing.

I wish gunpla battle was real.
I actually just finished watching every gundam. Victory was my favorite and is now my favorite anime as a whole. Zeta is a close 2nd followed by 00.
>>340020395
I'll add Dougram to that rec, because it takes Gundam and attempts to make it more grounded.
A lot of the bigger battles in Dougram involve combined arms.Pic related is actually the star of the show.
>>340019262
You're about 5% into the game.
