Thread 714361128

why mecha games peaked on PS2, but it's been a massive nosedive in quality afterwards?

they peaked with titanfall 2

Partly the drought of licensed games. Partly that devs put more money and time into development so no one wants to take risks. The HD era was when every game really started looking and playing the same. Mecha is mostly an indie game scene now.

We need another Dynasty Warriors: Gundam

right now.

And on Steam please

posers flooded the market after SEED

>Seed PS2 games
You sure? You counting Destiny games too right?

Off the top of my head
SNEED side scroller beat em up
SNEED Assault 3 fighting game
SNEED Never Ending Tomorrow
SNEED Generation of CE
SNEED Omni vs Zaft (PLUS version on PSP)
SNEED Destiny Rengou vs Zaft 2 PLUS
SNEED Battle Destiny is on the Vita and now Steam/Snitch

SNEED was also in ACE3, Dynasty Warriors Gundam 2 and SRWZ but those are crossovers.

UC still has more games on PS1/2 I reckon. Am I missing something?

While SNEED was featured on ACE3
SNEED Destiny was on ACER on PS3 and ACEP on PSP

I'm also not counting other SRW games, SD games and Extreme Versus since those are all crossovers.

Titanfall 2's mech gameplay is a massive downgrade from 1.

The only good thing that Titanfall 2 did was remove the instant nuke eject.

How huge was SEED back in the early 2000s? I only know that it was fucking huge in Japan that the main love interest of the MC won every best anime girl of the year for many years and that SEED was going to be the last Gundam series.

>Art style got worse 20 years later
How? Also, why did they keep this movie on hiatus for 20 years when it was supposed to come out in 2005 or 2006?

>>714364319
It was supposed to be the new UC and Bandai tried very, very hard to make it so. 2 full anime series, an ona, an entire manga side franchise, multiple games, tons of kits, etc. They pushed it so hard that it eventually led to burnout. The final nail in the coffin was when one of the kits, I think the PG Strike Freedom, massively undersold. Bandai then moved onto 00 and later started re-milking the UC cashcow with Unicorn.

>90% of mecha games on PS2 only
>very few translation projects and if there are they're dead as fuck
At the very least, English asia releases help me get modern mecha games, it was the only way I was able to play GB3 and SWRV and X, also how far is the Gihren's greed translation? Last time I checked it was just the OYW and a lot of tge info text was untranslated

>>714364432
Fuckuda is a hack and they scrapped and restarted the movie multiple times. Even the fight scenes were getting rearranged and remade just before the release.

>>714364319
It's still yuge in Japan and China. Go to to pretty much any SNEED clip on Youtube, be it from the anime or game or OST and vast majority of comments will be in Japanese. The few English comments you do come across will almost always be negative and shitting on SNEED while 100% of Japanese ones will be positive.

>>714364432
It's not as bad as Zeta's compilation movies coming out 15 years later and constantly switching between old and new animation

>>714361128 (OP)
All the passion and talent are gone after the PS2 era, it never got better after PS3 and beyond. Sunrise and Bamco basically has full control on all mecha IP's and yet suck at doing anything remotely good with them. Even their anime is on a decline.
