Looks cool... I hope it plays better than Robotech Battlecry, which I don't find to be a bad game, just not a fantastic one. However, in terms of being faithful to the re-invented storyline and voice actors, it's a great Robotech game. Just not a great Macross game. I expect this to deliver in terms of gameplay, but for people who grew up in the US with the Robotech translations, Battlecry is pretty cool.

I had a point somewhere, but I forget what it was.

It's being done by the designers of the Aero Dancing series so that pretty much guarantees a good game. Bandai is starting to catch on by teaming with developers... it took Capcom to make a good Gundam game, and now Sega's getting in on it. Now if the Virtua On team were to make a Gundam game...

A good Macross game? I'll believe it when I see it. It is AM2 though...

Me too. My JPS2 could always use more love. I think it resents the fact that it sits on top of a huge stack of dreamcast games.

Considering the Macross / Robotech split, I wonder if this will get a US release. It would be a shame not to.

This is good. Macross VF-X was bad, VF-X2 was the same, just with a cooler opening song, and Macross M3 was HORRIBLE.

This one will be decent at least, I guess, but for now, for a Macross game nothing like the arcade vertical shooters.

No Macross game can be the ultimate if it doesn't include some sortof dating elements :P Watching Hikaru flying around shooting up Zentraldi was neat and all, but watching him screw up with Minmei and Misa was even better.
Though watching a drunk Roy fly around shooting stuff and at the same time macking Claudia was the best.

Ha ha ha! Will we see a game like that? I doubt it, thought that would be spiffy.

Is this game like the 0079 PS2 games, where they follow the anime, or is it a whole new story?

This reminds me... wasn't Sega developing a Trigun game called Planet Gunsmoke? Whatever happened to that?

I think Namco would make a great Macross game. Their Ace Combat series is awesome

And Star Ixiom was horrible, but let's forget about that one ^^'

Polyphony Digital couls stop with their Gran Turismo games a bit and make a good Macross game.... then again I'm one of the few that really enjoyed Omega Boost and tought that a Macross game should be like that.

Star Ixio-what? Never heard of it, it must have sucked. Yeah, I think Polyphony could make a good Macross game, too.

M3 wasn't horrible. You got some cool cut scenes voiced by the original Macross voice actors, then some slick screens where you're given your mission and choose your valkyrie among many different models, three pilots, and a bunch of neat add-ons.

It's only when you started actually playing that the whole game fell apart. :p

Still better than Robodreck though, imo.

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WE DO GET TO GO THROUGH THE ANIME!!! I can't wait to fly side by side with Roy :)
Wierd. I just had an experience like I sneezed, but it was better...
Damn, this game has SOOOOOO many possibilities. Can you imagine online play? That would rule! Or even better, customizing you're Valkerie! Vinny, Skull 3, launching!!

Online play seems unlikely for this game, imo, though I believe Robotech 2 is supposed to be online. I'm getting the import anyway so online play would be out for me.

They couldn't customize the valks in the series (Roy's Skull 1 wasn't really a customization since it was skull squadron) so it would be odd to do here. I sort of wish this was set more like M3 then they could have a wide range of craft to fly.

Bah, the series didn't have the money to draw everyone with custom valks :P I can remember a few times in the anime when I saw thw rong Valkerie being used for the wrong character due to stock footage :P
I'm hoping for maybe we can choose colors and add some decals, too. I'd like a blue version like Maximillian's, or one of those cool green ones that showed up after the end of the war.
And by decals, maybe I can put a giant picture of Misa in a bikini across the side ^_^
Anything, little or small, I can do to the Valk will be appreciated. I just don't want to fly one of those ugly brown standard models the whole game :( Kakazaki got seriously jipped being stuck in one of those the whole show -_-
