SRW is losing a lot of its luster for me. This year I went for months straight a few times not thinking about it at all. I sure hope whatever they announce next month, if anything, turns things around.

I feel like that's part of the problem with Gundam as well. I can't remember who said it, but in the Z thread, someone pointed out how the Asshimar was a real cool threat was because it could fly under its own power (in an alt form but still) and had a beam rifle, but now that's kinda just expected with mobile suits. Like, it's something kinda awkward with having the Nu Gundam alongside the Strike Freedom and the 00 Qan[t]. They're flying around like it's completely normal (especially the 00 Qan[t]) while the Nu Gundam is trudging along the ground. Edit: I'm not saying Gundams can't fly. I'm fine with the end result being flying, like the Wing Zero, and I do like the X and Double X, it's just that it kinda loses how big a deal flight should've been. Even Seed drops the ball when we see Zaft has flight mobile suits. 00 was just like "You get flight, and you get flight, and you get flight". I don't know, I kinda just miss seeing flight as a big deal. Inferno-sama fucked around with this message at 00:10 on Nov 6, 2018 |

IBO must be good for you since 99% of units are grounded.

Tae posted:IBO must be good for you since 99% of units are grounded. IBO is good, yes. A really odd, neat thing about it is that, under the hood, it's an ultra high tech society. Mars is terraformed, you can head to Jupiter and back in a matter of months, medical nanotech is common even out in the boonies, FTL communication is cheap enough for mercenaries to have a setup on their flagships, and every mobile suit and spaceship has a gravity manipulation device that also makes it nearly immune to beam weapons. If they had any form of warp, they'd probably be able to hang out with space opera settings. But all that comes together to make combat more medieval. Until the end of the series, the best way to fight was to run up to the opposing mobile suit and smash its stupid face in with a hammer, the cheapest way to get elite troops is to perform possibly lethal back alley surgery on children, and long range communication is a nightmare due to ahab waves. The future arrived, and it mostly made things worse.

This argument would make more sense to me if literally every Gundam show didn't spend half its time in space, where everything flies. Also idk where SRW gets the idea that the Nu can't fly from. It's in space the entire movie so there's no confirmation there one way or the other, and the ZZ could fly without transforming.

Early Gundam series actually diferentiated between atmospheric and space flight.

MonsieurChoc posted:Early Gundam series actually diferentiated between atmospheric and space flight. So do some of the later ones. IBO's got suits zipping around once they break orbit, but the fights on Earth and Mars have everyone's souls bound by gravity. It gives them different tempos, making it easier to remember individual fights.

If they can cut half the mechs from Cross Ange and make them attack-only supporters like Sala's two minions i won't complain. Being able to dump on Embryo is hard to get sick of. I want Big O and Cross Ange int he same game, so Dorothy can dump on Embryo.

All the GBA ones looked and played the same. K and L looked and played the same. There were some differences, but then, X had Dogmas. And honestly no I wouldn't say V and X had super similar writing.

Caphi posted:Was the last console game with only one dimension Z1? Z1 is built around multiple dimensions being twisted together into one by the events at the beginning of the game. It's actually basically the birthplace of the modern SRW trend of "gently caress it, everyone's from different dimensions".

Z had multiple dimensions in it but by the time of the story they've pretty much settled into a weird frontier/SEED amalgam. In Z2 you start having random islands fall into the game halfway through.

Yeah, I didn't mind how, say, X did it. Sure, alternate dimensions, but apart from Buddy Complex every dimension had multiple series to pull from. Anywhere, I'm ready to be disappointed when Rayearth, Sakura Wars, and Majestic Prince continue to not get into a mainline SRW game.

I'm just sad we haven't gotten the Aurora yet. Maybe in SRWU or whatever comes next we can get it as the water-centric battleship instead of Yamato or Neo-Nautilus.

For all the talk of another recycled Z3/V/X asset game, it might be likely that the announcement's an OG, which I suppose would be recycled assets of a different kind but probably more acceptable to most people. Thinking about it, if it is an OG, it's a bit of a meh for me if they aren't just going to finish up with Alpha 3 after dragging it out for like 6 years because OG is starting to reach Marvel comics / World of Warcraft level of "Yeah this is still going on, somehow" and losing its appeal, but on the other hand, depending on whether OG and Licensed games are different teams, this could be a good opportunity to get a longer dev cycle for the next mainline even if the OG game ends up being another MD-like filler. Guess if they're the same team then it's just a wasted year for me though.

I only got into SRW a couple of years ago and I don't have the full context behind everything or whatever but Alpha 3 basically has to be the focus of the next OG game right? Like, there was also an unrelated game between the OG adaptions of Alpha 1 and 2 so after Moon Dwellers they're on schedule to do the final game. I guess it helps that I played 2nds OGs long after release so the wait doesn't feel so pronounced but i'm pretty confident Alpha 3 is next on their list. I suppose what i'm saying is the announcement will definitely be about 3rd OGs the 7th game in the OG series.

That said it's a little early to be getting a major OG game, I think. Guess it depends on how much they want to recycle.

Didn't they blow up the Alpha 3 gate in MD? Really, you could take the whole plot of Gaia Saviors as a message that OG is off the rails. Unfortunately, if it's going to be more of MD, being off the rails isn't a good thing.
