I was actually looking forward to it being 'just a shooter'. The mech looks cool but I hope you can play throu without relying on it, or the parry mechanisms etc.


Also, SCEE - how about an offer like the US has?

 

[Net_Wrecker]

Hmm.. watching this I'm not so sure. The developer is constantly running away from enemies because they seem like they have too much health (it takes A LOT to kill even a basic enemy)/the AI is too smart.

Doesn't seem fun sometimes.

Tactical retreats and chases are part of the space dog-fight anime influence though. That pacing of being on the offensive and switching to evasive maneuvers before going back on the offensive or being more crafty through the game's systems is what creates the tense, flashy ballet of death. It also puts the player's skill controlling the ship to the test, and justifies all the zero g physics and environmental/AI interaction in the level.

 

[Drayco21]

Wasn't really paying this game much attention, but they sold me a copy on mechs.

 

[benny_a]

in the GB Jake says that Season 5 will not be in at launch but come as free DLC coinciding with the Steam release which he says will be "September maybe October."

 

[Lombax]

has the GB Quicklook-EX been posted yet?

I'm so hype for this game I may actually pre-order.

I get what they are going for and I think it's less of an issue on the big hulking ships and enemies, but those little buggers seem rather annoying. Like the drones from Halo, but with shields and are constantly slipping out of the way. Damn little buggers!

This game still seems really cool overall, I'm just torn between this and N++ and I'm trying to create excuses in my head why I should pass.

Or I'll just get both. -_-

 

[DangerMouse]

So hyped for this! Can't believe the wait's finally almost over

Well the developers have said it's not a shooter, so it seems like they're taking the game in a different direction than you want if you're looking for this to be "just a shooter".

 

[Auctopus]

That Giant Bomb preview really shows off the game well, can't wait. Only thing I don't like is the cheap Borderland-style shop.

 

[Commanche Raisin Toast]

They've been saying "summer 4 realz" since E3. It's likely they wanted to just go dark until they were announced as part of Sony's PLAY 2015 promotion.

Oh, yeah that makes sense actually.

Still though, I like surprises like this. So glad this year is looking great as far as smaller download titles are concerned.

 

[muteki]

Has there been any word on dual audio?

 

[Tohsaka]

Has there been any word on dual audio?

I'm pretty sure I read before that it would be, I assume that's still the plan.

 

[shaowebb]

God this game looks so good. It somehow tickles both my Bangai O and my explorer itch.

 

[Momentary]

So the mech and close combat doesn't make this a Shoot'em up? I don't get it. Looked at the videos and I don't understand. Looks like one. Reminds me of a more bad ass Bangai-O

 

[Bloodrage]

 

[Mr. Smiley]

Macross as fuck.

Wasn't on my radar before, definitely looking forward to it.

 

[Easy_D]

After the latest GB Quicklook the game is on my radar and then some, looks awesome and I'm a sucker for mechs. Day 1 when it hits PC

Normally I'm totally against sponginess that draws out encounters, but something about dog fighting between highly maneuverable (and smart) ships needs that elongated pace where each enemy becomes its own mini-setpiece in between tactically engaging the more powerful enemies. Especially when it's done with the kind of flashiness in this game

 

[KAOS]

Can't wait!

 

[Mikey Jr.]

I want this game soooo sooo badly.

 

[robotrock]

wow


mech mode made my hype x100 omg

wow

 

[faridmon]

ps4 haz no games. amirite

what an embarrassing post. why post this in this thread?

 

[0.1.1.2.3.5.8.13.21.34.55]

Alex, I'll take 'Irony' for $400

 

[GobFather]

Nice!

 

[kittens]

So hyped for this! Can't believe the wait's finally almost over

Seriously, this has been one of my most anticipated games since it was first shown off over two years ago.

Same. It's one of the reasons I bought a PS4. The art style is phenomenal to me.

 

[todd360]

Ok I'm hyped.

 

[fastford58]

Relax. Besides, it is not a AAA game so it doesn't count

 

[kyser73]

Relax. Besides, it is not a AAA game so it doesn't count

I was about to ask this, so thanks for clarifying. /s

Also - day 1, this looks awesome. Just hope the control system clicks with me.

 

[autoduelist]

Can I pre-order this again?

 

[Jashobeam]

Getting some serious macross vibes, Preordered!

 

[Stainless]

I really think I'm gonna like this game. I preordered along with everybody's gone to the rapture

 

[Curufinwe]

has the GB Quicklook-EX been posted yet?

I'm so hype for this game I may actually pre-order.

It looks amazing but I'm concerned it might to be too difficult for me to finish. I can see having to do each episode in one go being a total pain in the ass.

 

[Ke0]

Wow that is badass, and even though the whole transforming between ship and mecha is a Macross thing, when I saw those gifs on the playstation blog the first song that entered my mind was Two-Mix's White Reflection.

 

[BlackGhost]

aw fuck yeah

This game has somehow morphed into a crazy top down procedural Platinum action game

I mean wtf

Parries, bruh. PARRIES

Hnnnghgh!

I played this with the dev team at the Playstation Experience and they teased me when I told them how awesome it would be if the ship transformed since there was so much Macross influence.

BAHGAWD THEY DID IT!!!

I really enjoyed the game back then and I can now see this becoming one of my faves of all time. :O

When I first saw this game, alway kinda hoped the ship could transform. And that it would be like robotech/macross

I was sure all along mech mode was going to be in the game. I'm impressed they held off so long to reveal it.

Polygon Mech Play

Game is split into season and each season is like 4 or 5 episodes. If you die, you must start the season over.
Mech Unlocks at the end of season 1 you can swap mech and space ship at anytime. Mech short range space ship long range.
dungeons procedurally generated different each time through including loot location as well as enemy types.

Best video I've seen of this game so far. SOLD

 

[NastyBook]

Gonna make sweet love to this game.

 

[ExitPlanetDust]

1. Ok, you have my money.

2. Good luck with the Harmony Gold lawsuit.

 

[Tunavi]

Game looks good

No

 

[//ARCANUM]

So I saw what was said about it having "seasons" and episodes. Does this mean the whole game won't be released at once and I'll have to wait for the next parts to come out? (The polygon vid said you don't get the mech until the end of the first season...)

No, released as a whole game.

Only the 5th season is free DLC that'll come later.

 

[Weltall Zero]

As a transforming robot fetishist, I approve of this. Unfortunately, I just learned that the Vita port was canceled, which kills my hype.

1. Ok, you have my money.

2. Good luck with the Harmony Gold lawsuit.

Yeah, because they invented transforming mechas. This is far more Gundam than Macross anyway.

4 seasons at launch, with a 5th and different difficulty modes coming eventually.

Edit: beaten horribly

 

[Krappadizzle]

That Giantbomb quicklook sold me on it. Looks awesome.

 

[//ARCANUM]

No, released as a whole game.

Well cool, might actually get it then. But yeah that's weird terminology in a day and age when games actually come out in "seasons" and "episodes"...

That's the joke. Of course they didn't. But they have historically sued just about anyone who tries to make any games or films related to the genre in the U.S.
