I never really paid much attention, what kind of delay has there been between the JP releases and the NA ones?

EDF 5 released Dec 7, 2017 in Japan.

English PS4 release was Dec 11, 2018.

PC released July 11, 2019.

So about a year if you just want to play it ASAP, year and a half if you want to play on PC.

I couldn't figure out why those screenshots on the EDF6 page seemed off. Then I realized I was just confused at the idea of a collection of buildings that are merely heavily damaged, instead of entirely flattened :downs:

Minecraft EDF looks interesting, looks like you collect edf soldiers and the enemy types are taken from all over the series. They got the edf 1 tripods in there along with Hectors. I wonder if the Voxel style graphics means we'll get enviromental destruction or if its a purely aesthetic thing.

EDF 6 doesn't really have a lot to go on, judging by the screenshots but I guess we're headed back to the earth of EDF 5 with its 10% of humanity remaining. Heavy focus on destroyed city and a muted colour scheme. Kinda reminds me of the pre-release stuff for Iron Rain.

Do we know what platforms EDF is targeting? Just realised that Imay have to actually buy a ps5 lol.

I can imagine the Switch will die slowly each mission. A return to overloaded consoles with a glut of monsters and explosions, unless Yuke's one again designs another reduced monster missions for stability game.

I expect the Bargas to get sentient and have speed upgrades. Maybe have Bargas zooming around and tossing buildings like Gigantor.

Good luck with that second invasion, thousand humans who are still alive

quote:

2024. Humanity won the war against the unknown invaders that had lasted two years. The Primers left and silence returned to the Earth. However, the total human population was reduced to 10 percent. Civilization was on the verge of collapse. And those who survived continued to work hard towards reconstruction…

Three years later, in 2027. Humanity faced another major problem. Many of the aliens (Colonists) that the Primers had deployed into battle were left behind on Earth.

The Colonists formed groups and occupied cities to survive. They have settled on Earth. Humanity and the aliens frequently collided. And through repeated quarrels, both sides faced damages. The two races living on Earth grew tired of each other…

But there was a more serious problem: the invaders continued to breed on Earth.

The invaders that formed nests in the depths of the Earth and its ruins continue to increase. Their numbers have already overwhelmed humanity. Humanity had no choice but to continue fighting so that the invaders would not rule the Earth.

The reconstruction of society and revival of civilization is a very slow process, and each day before that is a struggle to make that day a reality. Humanity continues to fight against the threats that remain…

It won't be pushing system boundaries since it still uses the PS4, so the frame rate won't die on you, unless you use the Switch. Was there a handheld EDF game?

If we ever get a PC version, I'm curious as to whether or not it will support 1440p, unlike Iron Rain (which did not for some reason).

There was also a vita version of EDF3, not to mention the PSP version of EDF2 that planet space was bassed off.

Speaking of EDF2 the minecraft version of the opening london map looks pretty nice hopefully maybe this will be good?

Wasn't there a line in the game about the frogs being controlled by the greys? They had a bunch of alien tech attached to their spines. I could see them going independent after the war if the greys are gone.

Uh yeah. You might as well buy the packs now since they only go on sale during pre-order. Same with 4.1 and 6 when it comes out. It is a selling quirk.

D3P has been more on the ball with discounts. The EDF5 mission packs were $6 three months ago on Steam. They go on sale on Humble Store too occasionally where the choice 20% applies on top of the sale price.

An update for EDF6 is they are bringing back Dragons and what looks like some sort of Soviet-era vehicle with multiple barrels. Oh boy, can't wait to face maps where every enemy can grab you and fly around for 20 seconds until you kill it.

The flying frogs could do this in EDF5 anyway, since they were model-swapped dragons in every way.

I honestly wish they would get rid of that enemy type.
