It's a fun movie…shame that it only like follows the 70's anime up to Great Mazinger only. Grendizer just flat out ignored as are the other 70's Dynamic Pro mechas.

Why do you think that mecha seems to fail so horribly in the west? In the Early 2000s they made Megas XLR. The writing was fun, and it helped alleviate the low budget animation. It still got canned despite being decently popular.

Then years later Sym-bionic titan came along. It had actually good animation and it was a pretty good, if vanilla, super robot show. It also got canned despite having a decent viewership and it got even less episodes than Megas, which ended with the series being rushed towards a conclusion.

Then we have Pacific Rim, which also was decent, but it got panned critically, and people hated it for reason ranging from "not being realistic" to "being dumb".

Why do you think the genre just doesn't stick in the west despite other cartoons being made with clear anime genres influence?

So this just came out on steam and PS4, I totaly overlooked it at first because the title was really stupid, but watching it in action and seeing that the title song was sung by Hironobu Kageyama i checked it out properly and holy shit im glad i did. Its basicaly Assault Suit Valken/Leynos via wayof SRW in its style of mechs

https://store.steampowered.com/app/746580/HARDCORE_MECHA/

If that sounds appealing to you I highly recommend checking it out.

I did a stream of it if you want to check it out in action https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bX-aNgr5LU4 Im a big fan of both SRW and the Assault Suite games so i am quite bias, this game is essentially made for me.

If you have ever played any of the Assault Suit titles or Front Mission Gun Hazard it plays very much like them. If you have never played them id honestly recommend checking them out as they are a lot of fun.

thanks, i aim for a comfy laid back stream, i started streaming as a way to replicate playing games on mates couches which was not really viable any more due to time constraints

Watched it.

Giant monsters start showing up from the end of the 20th century and wreck Earth, the worst of all being Godzilla. Also aliens show up and befriend mankind and help fight the monsters but by the mid 21st century 90% of the population is dead anyway and mankind has to abandon Earth.

20 years later and one of the two immigrant ships is running out of resources with no habitable planet in site and they decide to warp back to Earth, especially since protagonist Haruo has been researching Godzilla and has a plan on how to kill him (turns out that Godzilla has a shield which is what let him do shit like tank 150 nukes at the same time and Haruo has figured out how to turn it off).

They go back to Earth where 20000 years have passed and send out a team to kill Godzilla. The team gets wrecked by the smaller flying monsters and they decide to evacuate but run into Godzilla (50 m) and carry out Haruo's plan instead. It succeeds and they kill Godzilla.

The professor then tells Haruo that what they killed couldn't have been the original Godzilla because it was completely identical to their 20000 year old data. The original Godzilla (over 300 m) then pops out of a mountain, shoots down the landing ships by barking supersonic waves at them, and then wipes out everything on the ground by waving his tail at them which shoots out a beam shockwave.

Post-credits scene has Haruo wake up after having been rescued by some indigenous girl (descendant of survivors from 20000 years ago) wearing weird junk. Final shot is a still of him and other people standing in front of Mecha Godzilla.

STUFF FROM THE MOVIE'S BOOKLET

The plan to escape from Earth only had two ships with 15,000 people on board to begin with. The Earth Federation's central government used an AI to select the people who'd get on the ships. Haruo's ship is 1.5 km long and housed 5000 immigrants, the other ship was 3 km and housed 10000. Contact with the other ship was lost immediately after departure.

The Godzilla defeated in the first movie is "Godzilla Filius" which broke off from Godzilla via cell division. The original is now 300 m tall and over 100,000 tons,

Having seen the trilogy I feel like the ideas it has are interesting but it has poor execution. Dialogue feels a little bit clunky at times. Is there an English Translation for the prequel novels. Based on their synopsis they sound interesting.

Copypasting stuff from you know where, spoilers of course:

———————————–

PM is shown as indecisive and dumb but is willing to work with the US (doing so jndirectly kills him) and even has the SDF stand down at one point when it turns out that two civillians haven't evacuated the area yet

His actions are understandable becausr they have no idea how much of a threat godzilla is until he goes full ideon which is what kills the PM

Germany lets japan use their supercomputers, france helps stall the nume attack, yanks want to nuke but would do so even if this was NY and still help in operation yashiori (it's thanks to their drones that they can get godzilla to waste energy so they can attack him)

Final (fourth) form has the godzilla theme playing

Final showdown had SDF theme

Credits have original versions of both

Also a recurring BGM that has different versions building up as the movie goes on is VERY close to Decisive Battle

It starts playing and i literally laughed going holy shit anno put decisive battle in godzilla

It's not the same though, just te first bits of it repeated forever

operation to freeze godzilla is the yashiori sakusen

Like yashima sakusen

Only yashiori

And Ishihara's english is atrocious

No "tadpole" that i noticed

First form seen is some sort of retarded rat chicken with stumps for arms

Last scrne is closeup of tail tip, it's huPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Sounds interesting. Reminds me a bit of Project Nemesis.

If you're talking about special effects? I remember seeing some youtube video where one of the guys that worked on the godzilla movies shows a new generation how to do some practical effects. I'm sure there's fan tutorials out there if you want to learn how to make a suit.

What is the point of making something completely unrelated to the setting it is?

This is one of the problems with Late UC, that even it's set on the Universal Century it doesn't even try to feel connected to it.

After Unicorn, Contolism is completely dead. Aside from Oldsmobile Army which are irrelevant fucks in the middle of nowhere, you have the Crossbone Vanguard which didn't give a fuck about Newtypes so much as their own aristrocracy. The Jupiter Empire didn't view themselves as human anymore due to surviving the horrible living conditions of the Jupiter Sphere, and the Zanscare Empire are a matriarchal monarchy that wants to kill Earthnoids that's also a puppet of Jupiter.

Even the Zabis didn't care about humanity evolving into Newtype's, they just wanted Side 3's independence (or if you're Gihren, spacenoid dominion over all of the Earth Sphere). The only faction who gave a shit about human evolution into Newtype's were Char's Neo Zeon, who tried to make Deikun's dream a reality by destroying the Earth.

Does anyone feel like Unicorn 2 is gonna be about destroying the psycho-frame or the secret behind the technology becoming (ironically) another Laplace's Box that Banagher and Mineva have to keep hidden in the Late UC? That seems to be the direction the UC 100 project is going in.

I'll spoonfeed you.

You don't need to post whole tags, you just need to type two asterisks at that start and end of a sentence.

It won't work between paragraph breaks, though. So while this might work. Something **like this

What does /m/ think of the Unseen redesigns?

I'm a complete purist, and can't stand them. OG Destroid/Zentradi ripoffs or bust.

Mechwarrior Online a shit.

I've been playing a good deal of it. Anything in particular you'd like to know about it?

My overall experience has been quite positive as I find the core gameplay loop to be solid. It's not as faithful to the tabletop as they were trying to sell it as early on but it gets by well enough. They tried to make taking lighter mechs worthwhile with the initiative system and failed, there is no reason to take light mechs, ever. You are limited to a lance of 4 always. Contracts have decent enough variation though it will all largely boil down to 'blow everything up then maybe go stand somewhere'. The 'story' missions tend to be more fun and interesting, longer but easier than regular contract work and pay ridiculous amounts of money so until all that gets sorted out you won't have much reason to leave the area. Sound effects are great, pilot voice acting isn't. Their cinematic camera for combat can be turned off, I find it's nice when it works and really off putting when it fucks up. No save scumming during a battle though you're free to try and redo the mission but it will reroll what enemies you'll be facing. The color scheme picker is rather limited sadly but you can still meme up your forces in green and purple.

If you are worried about SJW infection than you're out of luck because it is pretty drenched in it when it comes to the story. Oh and while the mercenary gameplay of looking for contracts and scraping up enough money to buy shit is great, rather than letting this extend to what dropships you can deploy with you are instead handed a magical fairly lostech ship that you upgrade instead. Not only that but you get it very early on and recover the wreck where it had crashed into a goddamn moon and been picked clean by pirates but a wunderkid hajiibgineer gets it flying in a few days no problem.

I'd pay money for an expansion pack that lets me just free roam across the inner sphere and pick a great house to work for.

Still playing it, got kind of shafted progression wise, I ended up assembling a team of 4 highlanders before I got any of the 80-85ton mechs so I didn't get to enjoy using the awesome/battlemaster/stalker. Oh well, there are worse fates.

Tried out the flash point expansion and it gave me the bigger things I was asking for. Those being a career mode with the shit fucking campaign cut out and the 'flashpoints' which are multi map extended deployments. Payout for flashpoints is up and down though since doing two 3 star flashes netted me 2/3 pieces of an atlas as a random reward but the 4.5 star I did gave me an lrm10.

Overall very happy though they were really fucking lazy not giving you a real dropship and not cutting out those shit storymode characters.

In other news I spotted this for under 20 bucks and picked it up on a whim, not bad for how little it was and how expensive tabletop stuff usually is.

Greetings, Garmafags people of Zeon! Today is, indeed, a special day. As it marks not only the birthday of our beloved prince but, also the day our foremost flying fortress, the ACA-01 Gaw saw its maiden voyage. Alongside our completion of the DFA-03 Dopp. To have both milestones of our principalities' engineering coincide with the birth of our prince is certainly, nothing short of a miracle. Now Garmafags everyone let the celebrations begin!

>Character is somebody relevant to the story

So that is your definition of a character? I was under the impression that it was the same as dictionaries' definitions:

>"a person represented in a film, play, or story"

>"A being involved in the action of a story"

As I see it, you think that side characters (not relevant to the story) are not "characters" because they are not main characters (relevant to the story).

You just could have said that you don't like the designs.

Hey /m/, I'm doing something of questionably autistic measure.

I'm trying to make a very basic chart for mech/mecha design where examples can be sorted out, just for the hell of it. I thought it'd be nice for some board engagement/activity too, so why not.

This is what I got so far, encompassing general aspects that are usually found in each sufficiently distinct mech "type". It's still unfinished and everything's subject to change, of course. The spaces at the bottom are where design examples will go, but I'm aware that they are too small and I'll make them larger later when everything else is set. Input is appreciated.

Is it good? Is it shit? Missing anything major? Should I kill myself instead?

Looks fine for now. Though maybe you should add "Backpack" as a torso accessory? Also "Physical Shield" and "Energy Shield" for every body part option; "Barrier"/"Force Field" and "Unmanned Drones" as special options.

Seeing this thread getting updated reminded me of my mecha CYOA that I have yet to finish.

I think those would be a bit too specific in every part option, but I'll add them. It's more of a general chart where both can be defined as one type of mech regardless of their type of equipment (energy/physical/etc.).
