[reddmyst]

I'm gonna start referring to them as "tinman".

 

[Cerebral Assassin]

Then perhaps you shouldn't have made a game which has Mechs in it.

 

[Haunted]

Why don't they like their mechs?

 

[ComputerMKII]

I like the Respawn guys but you've gotta call a mech a mech.

 

[rvy]

They're Mechatars powered by the Cloud.

 

[gryz]

is it because Battletech has a trademark on "mech" or something?

 

[BatDan]

IT'S A GUNDAAAAAM!

They're mechs, stop trying to make it sound like something they're not.

 

[Bony Manifesto]

This is likely intended as a means to distance the game from any form of Japanese inspiration. Doing the typical American thing of making out that this was some kind of immaculate creative conception, which in itself is still worthy of copious eye rolling.

Yeah, that must be it.

 

[Dog Problems]

I've always just called them giant robots.

 

[yellow submarine]

So basically they're mechs.

Lol, spot on.

 

[alr1ght]

They're not the same mechs. They're not the same Gundams.

 

[Tamanon]

So they're not Mechs, they're Elementals?

 

[ZealousD]

We don't like guns. They're a bit of a dirty word. Our "mini launchers" just hurl tiny bits of metal through a barrel and out into a persons body when you pull a trigger. Totally different.

 

[Raide]

Stompy Bots.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

You mean a Vertical Tank?

No, a Laborious Extra-Orbital Vehicle...

Fuck it, lets just call them Metal Gears instead.

 

[Loomer]

Do they not realise not every Mech is slower than a snail's fart?

 

[RMI]

bah I thought this game was about Mechs. I'm OUT! OUT!

 

[alba]

Zords!

Darn, someone beat me to it

 

[Suikoguy]

They're Mechatars powered by the Cloud.

Plus 1 imaginary internet points to you.

 

[Raide]

Titan In Tank Suit.

 

[Permanently A]

Metal
Extension
Chassis
Human

Or MECH for short.

 

[Victrix]

Damn I love mechs, I was all excited about playing this shiny new 60fps infantry-and-mech multiplayer shooter from The Guys Who Made FunCoD

Sadly it has no mechs :<

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

.They are bigger,they are heavily armored,and they give you kind of a second life but they are agile,fun,and fast.They can dodge.

 

[El-Suave]

It kind of worked for Epic when the renamed good old Survival Mode into Horde Mode - that's what the press uses these days for that kind of game mode.

 

[ShirAhava]

Not Mech's? Has he seen Titanfall?

 

[Dead Prince]

next they are going to tell me it's not using the cloud

 

[AndyD]

They're mechs.

Over in one as usual on Gaf.

And he is maybe thinking they are not mega-mechs like the largest MechWarrior ones, but they are certainly mechs.

 

[fertygo]

LOL And they looked just like this.

Whatever you said bro.

 

[iavi]

Tbh, I wouldn't want to be compared against these either if I was Titanfall's mechs. There's no winning.

 

[fallagin]

So should we start calling them phallus walkers then?

 

[Paper Sparrow]

These aren't mechs.

Have you seen Titanfall?

 

[rvy]

Not mechs, according to Respawn.

 

[massoluk]

Heavily armored, agile, fun, fast, can dodge.

 

[Jarnet87]

these aren't Mechs, they are CODBOTS.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

wow kind of like the evangelions

at least EVAs can jump

but yeah seriously it just sounds like they don't want to give dudebros the impression that they're playing a gundam game or something.

 

[ultron87]

Not Mech's? Has he seen Titanfall?

Have you seen Titanfall?

Damnit you guys. We'd made it so far.

 

[Tain]

lol, good luck with that.

Assault Suits Titanfall?

yeaaaah

You mean a Vertical Tank?

yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!

 

[wenis]

those are mechs.

lets not pretend otherwise. big ass robot with a human pilot? it's a mech.

 

[Takuya]

Probably true, they aren't as cool as mechs. You don't deserve for your creations to be deemed mechs... Let's call them...Half-Assed Robots.

 

[Syril]

Sounds like you needs to make up a catchy name for them then, like every other mecha ever created. Mobile suit, arm slave, guymelef, orbital frame, vertical tank, vital suit, knightmare frame, gear, AGWS... the names don't even need to make sense.

 

[Deleted member 13876]

"These things aren't mechs.They are something totally new and different.The Titans are really an extension of the player.

Playerlongers.

 

[coldfoot]

Killzone did it right, named them Exo's.
A Titan has to be massive to earn that nickname. The mechs in TitanFall aren't that big.
A Jaeger in Pacific Rim, now that's a Titan.

 

[hackdog]

If it looks like a mech and it walks like a mech and it quacks like a mech and it craps like a mech ... then it isn't a mech. Huh?

 

[blitzcloud]

Yeah uh, no Respawn. They are mechs.

What else would you call a mechanical construct in the form of a humanoid?

Anthropobot.

 

[Copenap]

I wonder if any of the developers actually thinks that, sounds like PR talk. Of course they are Mechs.

 

[razgriz417]

So gundams?

 

[Dr_Boris_Goltz]

Mech is a badass word and should be embraced!

 

[Cacophanus]

I approve of this thread...

The Titans are very much mecha, whether Vince Zampella likes it or not.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Even Armored Cores are still mechs and they're all over the place in terms of performance. So yeah, they're mechs.

 

[staticneuron]

wow kind of like the evangelions

Which are....mechs.
