Seems like most of the action takes place on the...... ground. So you sure it's a Macross game right?

Edit: Oh, it takes place in an alternate timeline.

I thought this was an UT2k4 mod when I first saw it.

The models look ugly woof. If it plays good I might pick this up since I'm a big fan of MOSPEADA.

I think they look great! This looks sexy! I'd get it if I had a PS2.

This is NOT macross, this is MOSPAEDA

It's PS2 and Xbox

 

[tenchir]

MOSPAEDA???? I'm not really a Macross fanatic so care to explain? I always thought that Macross(JAP) = Robotech(US).

I don't have an Xbox either But thanks for the info.

MOSPEADA is the 3rd season of Robotech (Macross is the first and Southern Cross is the 2nd). Robotech was made up of 3 different anime series from Japan that was hacked together using story elements that you find in Robotech today. Macek hacekd all three of them together because of the similar elements found in the show like invading aliens and transforming mecha.

 

[Zaptruder]

He did a pretty good job of splicing them all together as well!

But they're kinda disjointed unless you read the books...

That said... they've finally made a game of this series... after some 16+ years after having first seen it... and they've made it look pretty ugly.

It's about time we got a game from something other than the Macross storyline...

 

[Fularu]

That's because Mospaeda has not the same cult following macross has in japan, and 100% of the good macross game have been released and stayed there (Macross Scrambled Valkyrie on SFC, Macross Remember Me on PC Engine, etc..)

 

[isamu]

Looks like garbage. Anyone who buys this shit is doing a disservice to the originial series...since HG doesn't even have the rights to Mospeada anymore. Tesuka Matsumoto would probably have a heart attack if he saw what they're doing to his beloved series.

Macek hacekd all three of them together because of the similar elements found in the show like invading aliens and transforming mecha.

And because he needed 85 episodes for a syndicated animated TV series at that time. Macross on it's own didn't fit episode count requirements.

It's not just because he had nothing better to do with his time.

 

[fennec fox]

What's the point of getting the license?

 

[Bog]

This game looks great (and not just because my friend is working on it).

 

[Matt]

All you hatters have to shut up. Robotech >>>>>>>>>>>> Macross, SDFC, and Mospeada.


And it looks like they screwed up the time line a bit...

 

[fennec fox]

All you hatters have to shut up.

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Why is a raven like a writing desk?

Yeah yeah, I'm just passionate about this issue.

 

[Tellaerin]

Ugh. I'm sick to death of seeing models where the metal surfaces are skinned to look scratched and scuffed, covered in chipped and peeling paint, etc. Even if they're more 'realistic' for the setting, dirtied-up textures just don't fit the spirit of the series, IMO. Personally, I think they should've just stuck with cel-shading.
