some indie games have pretty cool mecha

>>23456635 (OP)
it's a power armor jackass

>>23457203
Not him, but power armor is considered mecha.

>>23457238
holy nigger

>>23456635 (OP)
What was this game called? If I remember correctly you could see your boobs and destroyed limbs as you fall on your back when you die?

>>23457923
Beyond Citadel.

>>23457923
>>23457958
it's The Citadel, and yes you can see your limbs and there's lots of guro but the gameplay is sublime

I can't think of one

fuck off

is there even a single western indie game that has good mecha design work? for some reason it's impossible for them to just have appealing designs, even with all the easily accessible inspiration out there

>>23459952
>western
No.

>>23457238
Someone kill this man right now

Mecha does cover almost anything mechanical, we exclude some only because they have their own boards.
As for mechanized walkers there are few mech games to begin with.
It's hard to even define a mech game beyond it having units that look the part. There's no gameplay associated to it except maybe needing to push more button to do basic actions.

Where is my Patlabor-like mecha game with Mudrunner level physics?
Where is my Metal Gear game on a map as big as Nuclear Option?
Who do I have to throw my money at to get a game of exoskeleton cops operating in a O'neill space station or in Lunar cities?

>>23460757
if heavy gear 3 is any good you'll get some large map stealth VOTOMs content but not on the scale of nuclear option
that would be rad tho, i like your taste anon

>>23459952
Western sensibilities are just incompatible with good mecha design. It's always as it everything has to be offensive to your senses and never ever boost your morale.

Watch or read tutorials on how to draw mecha, between different nationalities, and you'll really notice what I mean.
Fucking funnily actual western humanoid robots tend to look infinitely better than whatever unpilotable garbage they try to pass as "cool" in their media.

>>23460757
>Mecha does cover almost anything mechanical
Not really, only the mechanical that's unconventional for 20th century standards

>>23462613
Pacific Rim Jaegers are pretty fucking cool.

And yes, I get they're inspired by eastern designs, still cool western mechas though.

>>23462622
>Pacific Rim Jaegers are pretty fucking cool.
they're ugly as fuck

>>23462613
Western mech designs suck because of how overly militarized they are, they treat mechs like they’re meant to be tanks which is a severely limited view.

>>23462622
>I get they're inspired by eastern designs
All mecha are to some degree, except maybe pulp scifi ones like Iron Giant.

>>23462525
>large map stealth VOTOMs content
No thanks.
While I don't mind using wheels as some kind of altternate move method, it's usually used for the same reason as "constant hovering mech", to simplify shit, making another boring game.
And at least VOTOM is creative with how it uses skating.
But stuff like Heavy Gear or Front Mission? They just glorified tank that sometime do CQC.

>>23462714
iron giant is just modernized tetsujin, they even both have extremely similar mohawks and hinge jaws

>>23462800
>iron giant is just modernized tetsujin
Eh not really.

>>23462773
in heavy gear you spend more time walking and even prone/crawling

there were a few guys from the board making games
they should shill more often imo

>>23462773
>But stuff like Heavy Gear or Front Mission? They just glorified tank that sometime do CQC.
Heavy gear operates in pretty much the exact same way votoms does. The few times they've been animated, they're extremely mobile and flexible. Front mission gets a pass for being stiff because it's a tactics series, it doesn't change as much there.

>>23457238
Power armor is /m/ but not mecha you newfaggot

>>23456635 (OP)
That's just Metal Gear

>>23456635 (OP)
hell yeah

>>23457813
Trying way too hard
