is that from gundam seed?

looks like a shitty McDonalds kid's toy

don't expect these plebeians to even know what that is

yep

Temjin isn't even the coolest looking one.

EXVS > Virtual On
Hell even Gotcha Force > Virtual On
Actually no, Custom Robo > Virtual On

Honestly what's the point in biped mechas? Do you want to get hamstrung walking up a hill? Even in the anime they use their boosters more to move around

...

...

what happened to that america vs japan mech fight

Uh, excuse you.

But yeah Raiden is great. Love me some bulky, boxy heavy weapon mechs.

Can you play Virtual-On's XBL version without gold?

I think you're all forgetting the actual best mecha.

As a dev working on a mecha game, I actually want to throw my two cents into this.

I find OP and other examples like and to be pretty bad designs. Ignoring the paint job, what you're left with are big, blocky, humanoid robots that are made of simple shapes with beveled edges.

I personally prefer the more flashy, and sometimes over-designed mechs like the AC4 style seen here and here Anyways, brings up a good point. Biped mechas are the norm, especially in the Eastern/Japanese style. However, I think one of the most sensible arguments for it is when the control scheme involves the mech acting as an avatar for the human pilot's movements. It's been a while, but I'm pretty sure Pacific Rim does this. Things like Evangelion involve the notion of harmonics and having the pilot be "in tune" with the mech, but the actual control scheme uses a mechanical interface with joysticks and such.

I think in the presence of drones or remotely-operated mechas, the bipedal/humanoid design can be abandoned completely. And with a human pilot on the actual interior of the mech, the humanoid structure is arguably unnecessary depending on the control type as I mentioned earlier.

As for boosting, some bipedal mechs lack feet entirely and constantly propel themselves using thrusters, (using as a quick example) but the mechs in ACFA do use their legs for walking, rotating, and jumping.

IT'S THE RUNNER, NOT THE FRAME THAT MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

COMING CLOSE

>mmf threesome

>what you're left with are big, blocky, humanoid robots that are made of simple shapes with beveled edges.
Well there's a very good reason for that.

There's a better mecha made by the same company.

I love how there's actually a bunch of decent porn of this relatively obscure mecha character, musta made a few people extremely happy.

Winner

>Not fucking cute robots with your bros.
Fag.

...

>literally just a little girl with a mech like paint job and visor
What's even the point?

I'll admit I don't know the origins of early mecha designs, but are you implying that the designs were intentionally made so that the hardware could run it?

Surely there are some with the "blocky" design that never made it into a video game or weren't intended to be put in one. If I had to guess I'd just chalk it up to 80's design.

>Best pilot who goes from crybabby to hot blooded

In Gundam, it's because they're designed for space combat.

No clue about other series, though.

Valhawk a shit.

Literally Exia Gundam.

>Posting absolute worst Masouki

Check out this loser!

Virtual On is an arcade game from 1995, made using Sega's Model 2 board (aka where VF2 and Daytona and Sega Rally come from), so the blocky designs are 100% intentional. The games after Operation Moongate started to smooth out some of the designs, but they're still mostly box shaped.

>Not going full ATATATATATATATATATATATA

But over 10 years older.

whatever cuck

What did you guys think of the first episode of S2 of IBO

I liked it

Someone sells those on SL, Ulit or Uti?

post VOOT designs were a mistake

It's good, but I'm more hype for seeing this in OG.

Valsione is best choice for /m/en forever.

...

virtual on, gotcha force, and custom robo are the triforce of dope robo games, with medabots as a honorary mention

...

Gundam EXVS made Virtual On obsolete by offering the same type of gameplay in a much more interesting yet simpler way.

Hey!

Go away Mist.

>getting your ATATATATATATATATA from the shittiest Masoukishin with the worst girl as its pilot

No.

We had better salty shitpsters on Atreem.

K was my first SRW game

Z3 was clusterfuck but Gunleon had Magna Mode back in Z1 dude

I just wish it had stayed as a powerup instead of permanently being like that

i love it visualy but if it removed the cockpit maybe it would be my favorite but it would lose its meaning

Best OG mech in Moon Dwellers
Meanwhile Granteed was shit and the Coustwell was a secret

>You will never see Flit and White "Is right" Lynx in the same game going on a genocide spree

It did have a nice aesthetic going on, it was simple and to the point. Its upgrades though.... let's not get into that.

Conceptually it was nice to go inside enemies instead of going for giant mega fuckyoulasers and the like.

The best around, always will be.

it's so simple, but the shoulder pads, "wings" and color scheme make it so good looking.

Not even the best of its own animu

I know, and I agree.
It should have stayed as a power up mode.

No genocide allowed.
We must UNDERSTAND one another.

The only recent Gundam related thing I've consumed is Build Fighters (not TRY). How was Age?

>mecha fags
>2016
why do you still exist? why do you still fight against the inevitable. just die already, and embrace tanks and hardcore realism.

I find it sad too

>embrace tanks and hardcore realism.

no

>people in the anime itself widely comment on how stupid/uncool the idea of a giant humanoid robot is

Why is this allowed?

even they known that mechs are shit now
only western weebs cares about that

please stop, it's for your own good.

even most video developers understand how mecha is a curse word nowadays.

GETTER

Don't make me feel all depressed

When the last time we've had a super robot game besides SRW?

>Mech
>Slow

What did he mean by this?

>NO GRYS-VOK
awful

it's like you don't like cool things

even if I do like some of the titanfall designs, the whole "they're not mechas" thing was super dumb.

Infinite Ryvius did this too and that was 1999

No. If I had the skills, I'd make a mecha game.

see, literally all of these are wrong
it's a shame VO Force kind of sucked and so did Marz, but oratan is still better than pretty much all of those

Mighty No. 9

It'll come back into fashion once people are tired of all this magic-reincarnation mumbojumbo. The idea of single-handedly controlling a super combat machine is too cool to just die.

>oratan is still better than pretty much all of those
Not really. Way too convoluted for it's own good. Does a game really need so many damn attack move modifiers? Plus 2v2 is the way to go.

Transformers Devastation.

Yes it fucking is, they're literally the same things as Braves, the only difference is the marketing and you know it.

...

It's sad that there will never be figmas of this because it's a dirty filthy western game.

that shit is just bayonetta reskinned

I know what you mean man. I prefer the V/VD style too, but I think a lot more people would be more open to the idea if we had something akin to the jump thrusters earlier ones had.

Mah nigga

I can dream ya know.
I prefer Crowe even if he doesn't have a bouncy cut in. Though I can't decide who has the better themes since they're both good

Crowe suffers from having a second theme worst than the first, Setsuko's are both good.

Aim has best theme all years.

>no customisable super robot game

I miss three era. Had perfect blend.

Looks like Alteisen from the thumbnail.

>Spoiler
This I can agree to.

Not him but I want Armored Core. I want a game that actually behaves like a mech, Transformers could be literally anything and there would be no difference in the gameplay. That's a bad mech game even if the gameplay is good.

>OG
When is Goku in mecha form gonna come back?

He was the tightest shit.

ExVS has nearly yearly releases though. There's even a PS4 one in the making.

Blodia's only cool because of Jin's over the top hype.

Nice GaoGaigar, nigger. Would suck your dick.

So why does mechwarrior have the cockpit jutting out like that? Is it because its an escape pod that you can shoot out like a bullet?

Nah, Jin was only cuhrayzee hype in MvC (not that there's anything wrong with that). He could've been literally anyone else and Blodia would still be cool.

Actually, Blodia's not even exclusive to Jin, you can pick it for any pilot in Cyberbots. Blodia's moveset is just too fucking good to play with.

Mechwarrior cockpits do have an ejection feature yeah

VO was never good. Even their designs are mostly middling.

No. Dying by a gatling gun is literally worse.

Hey leave my husbando out of your "muh realism" shitflinging.

Just the best looking gundam passing by

I'm just saying it's like the equivalent of Jrpg's usage of belts. Dudes don't need a dozen belts. Walking tanks don't extra moving parts to get fucked up

>All the good Gundam games are on consoles or region locked
Goddamn it.

>doesn't understand mech classes
yeah, well not all techs look like that. the heavier ones could take a rocket to the face an not have any issue

>What is all that shit for?
Literally thrusters. Robots aren't real man, they need thrusters to move.

Also that mech is a sniper type, he isn't meant to get close but to run away and keep firing at long distances. Which is why it needs so many thrusters.

Its literally glass m8

...

You're trying to tell me the flares on the legs are thrusters? I'm not buying it.

>nu gundam

>>All the good Gundam games are on consoles
Yes, Gundam is Japanese franchise on Japanese platforms

oh boy better watch all them meme buzzwords your might hurt yourself

get out of way weeb. iv'e got shit to kill

>glass can't be impact resistant

We have them too, user.

>there will never be an official Angelang figure
Fuck fei yen and her hundred different recolors

TL;DR "Rule of Cool"

Humanoid robots are cool and you can relate to the actions on screen in a visceral way.

Imagine if it was just a predator drone with wheels or something, that's not very compelling or appealing even though it's very practical and likely what will happen.

Likewise the most sensible shape for space ships is either a cube (to maximize space), or a sphere (the natural shape of objects in space, and practical with respect to radiation shielding and micro meteorites); and combat in space will almost certainly be boxy droids rocketing around pulling 800 Gs while launching rockets at targets they detected from a light year away via software able to screen out background light from stars (this already exists with respect to observing micro stresses on buildings).

according to lore, it's transparent metal and cermet. so not really glass. in some cases the view ports are stronger, but due to wight and cost they have to remains small.

BTFO

Thanks, That was going to be my next argument if the weeb wanted to pursue this but go ahead, take all the thunder.

>hunting some weeb mechs

They're were talking about Battletech Mechs, which is still retarded because they aren't slow either.

Is there good MEDABOTS games ?

I wanna cum on her metallic butt.

Most of the main series RPG ones are good. Unfortunately there is no translations for any of them.

The 2 remake for GBA was pretty good and in English. Medabots games have decent enough depth in that 'bigger numbers' doesn't necessarily mean better though. That and that it's extremely rare to have any art straight out numerically better than another in all respects. Properties of attacks/medals/what you're fighting are extremely important and you generally won't ever have one 'best' medabot that'll carry you through. So knowing the language is kind of fucking important.

>Unfortunately there is no translations for any of them.
core 2

anyone remember that one medabot game with blatant waifu pandering and exploding clothes yet still sank the franchise?
shit was jokes

>implying Raiden is even remotely desirable

Yes. Not even waifus could save Medabots.

because it's cool

In Battletech/Mechwarrior it's because they have artificial muscles to help them up, and the series as plenty of quadrupeds anyway.

>that shirt

the argument the guy was making was that intentional or not, the Virtual On designs look bad

...

>Virtual On designs look bad
More like RAD

I agree
the color pallet specially

I'm not a fan of the Force and Marz designs. Way too overly detailed, and most of the colors look really ugly.

Anubis > everything else

Nohman did nothing wrong

>tfw Shinkawa left Konami
>Hackjima isn't even interested in mecha games
>Shinkawa's true talent will never be used except for a few exoskeletons here and there
Why is there so little interest for mecha in general?

Not fun. I'd give a left nut for a Shinkawa mech in Titanfall 2, despite it looking like a worse game overall.

There is a medabot for 3DS, idk if its translated
