And yet he still got his numbers wrong, BattleMechs are several times faster than those walking trash cans they have in that game of theirs.

If you're going to make a claim about your not-mecha, then you not only have to expand your research, but also get the basics of that research right. Which they singularly failed to do.

>>15037671

They backpedaled that statement towards the release of TiF2 though. That one thing about claiming Mechs were slow was at the release of the first Titanfall and I think it was from their art director; who sounds like they didn't know shit about Mechs to be frank.

>>15036063
>>15038184

These look fucking worse than the original, to say nothing of the visual downgrade the pilot suffered.

>>15038945
that's exactly right, some clueless guy in their team made a stupid statement when the first Titanfall came out and the magazine picture gets reposted almost everytime someone brought up the game on /m/.
Now the second game is out and they added lots of /m/ elements along with backpedaling the "mech is bad word" article, it's honetstly not relevant anymore.

>>15040459
In BattleTech, pilots are neurally linked to their BattleMechs via their helmets, which along with the gyro is what allows the 'Mech to walk, run and jump in battle, not to mention other feats like grappling and even doing backflips (most of the latter is stuff from the novels though). In essence, the pilot's own sense of balance is that of the 'Mech.

On the flip side, that neural link is also what causes a pilot to suffer 2 damage due to an ammo explosion, the feedback from the explosion (regardless of CASE) is killer despite the safety systems in place.

The throttle system in MechWarrior is mainly there to auto-pilot the 'Mech's movements for the player so that they can concentrate on aiming and shooting. Keep in mind that there were technological limitations at work with the first 4 games, beyond the graphics, that meant that the developers could only do so much (ever wonder how your radar could lock onto enemies behind mountains and buildings in MW4?), and also a part of why melee has been missing from every game until BattleTech 2017.

>>15042103

You haven't played ANYTHING coming out Japan, have you?

If you want to say TF2 is the best mecha game to come out of the west in the past 5 years, but it's hardly mecha and more CoD.

Japan has been pumping out real mecha games.

>>15042108
My favorite part of BT lore is that the mechs don't actually need the pilot to stand or walk, they can do that themselves, they need the pilot to know when to be off balance to pull off the tricky stuff. So the pilot does not control the mech directly, just communicates his intentions.

Same with targeting, the pilot uses the cockpit controls to designate his intention and the mech itself does the complicate maneuver, and based on the feedback from the nerohelmet decides should it move the arm around that building or smash right though it.

So in a way the battlemechs are partially autonomous robots with a human calling the shots. So when piloting a battlemech you really are piloting a giant robot.

>>15042128
The first thing you see in TF2 is a titan, they never fucking shut up about titans. If TF2 is hardly mecha, then Need for Speed hardly has cars.

>>15042144
You're reaching a bit, but accurate. It's just a simplification of the Gundamesque system of using hat switches to do the same. It's still very simple, choosing between a small set of actions. Most of what it is for is still balance though, using relatively simple sensory feedback from the pilot to know when he's not moving in space the way he knows he ought to and re-rights the mech. You don't NEED it, but the only time you don't use one is when you get into a Hunchback to die.

>>15042128

The color scheme is all over the fucking place, there's no contrast. Dva herself doesn't contrast the mech and vital parts like the cockpit do not stand out from the rest of the design, not to mention the silhouette is a mess. As expected from the hacks that make WoW armor designs.

Rule one of aesthetic design is that if you can't tell what you're looking at in a single glance then it's not pleasing to the eye

Old fans won't care too much either way. They'll think, "Oh, that's the T51. I remember those. Neat."

You're still full of shit. You say "boxy" but insofar as what, have lines that form squares? That's extremely vague. If by "boxy" you mean mostly comprised o cubes and rectangular prisms, you're still wrong because Gundam is at best "angular" and never has been "boxy". You're a fucking liar is you say proportions aren't a big part of aesthetics. You could squish down a Gundam so its proportions match those of a Tau Crisis suit and they would still look nothing alike. Case in point.

>>15046789
More moving pieces will likely lead to more panels. A huge problem with Nazi tanks is they were too impenetrable, even for mechanics.
Mecha's have way more moving parts then a vehicle , way more articulation. By adding a panel at every join or near specific mechanism it will be easier to replace a single piece of the mecha

680KB, 1012x1300px

>>15048823
I don't think an abundance of panels is completely necessary for articulation purposes. It may look nice if done well, but I think range of motion has more to do with how the internal workings and joints are engineered. Compare the 2.0 MG Gundam to the 3.0, for example. The 2.0 has very solid and plain armor pieces while the 3.0 has sliding panels and many detailed pieces. Both have similar range of motion despite their surface detail differences.

>>15048897
I didnt mean there needs to be a bunch of shifting panels for the machine to articulate

I more meant that in hypothetical universe with articulating mecha there are going to be >9000 moving pieces in it. you would probably want to be able to swap out a single piece at a time rather then needing to take off an entire giant leg panel to reach a single broken mechanism inside the machine.

I don't know if you've noticed but Japanese don't do much naming at all.

Tokyo is Eastern capital city, Beijing is Northern cap. ci.
Shikoku is 4 states and Kyushu is 9 provinces.
Et cetera.

This kind of thing doesn't work in the west because we have a ton of languages that have a fuckton of predecessors no one can understand.

So most names seem like actually unique words invented to describe something but they simply tend to be something mundane said in a language most don't understand (Hebrew, Latin, Greek, ... all of these have a crap-ton of names in the English calendar).

Not that it never happens over there. Fujisan is, after all, Mt. Fuji with the fuji part lacking any translation.

>>15073932
hated that thing as a kid even, looks so dumpy. and makes no sense.

Man, where were the Mechs in TF2 when I played it? All I had were spies backstabbing me and heavies eating sandviches at full health.
Did Valve finally man up?

it was basicly a mech version of this.
its role was mainly to bully infantry and light vehicles in urban zones, but was mainly fuckered against heavier tanks in open terrain.
If i remember, the top gunner had a rapid fire anti-infantry gun and anti air missile as well, so it could counter air threats.

Macross Frontier predates TRO 3145 by a country mile.
Try harder, retard.

Hot damn that top left one. It's like they fused the Vic Viper and Astranagant.

>>15080369
Does it predate clickytech?

Frontier premiered April 3, 2008, but the Cheyenne design premiered in Zero in 2002.

I always felt that d.va has a really "shirow-like" design

That's because the eastern/western mecha dichotomy doesn't actually exist. All popular western mecha are directly derived from or inspired by mecha anime sensibilities.

>>15080927
Well, MWDA came into existence in 2002 as well.

But the Vulture is based on the MW4 redesign, which is 2000.
I'd call it a wash.

Also neither one was probably inspired by the other anyways.

Of course they aren't but anon was trying to start shit for some reason.

Which anime is the AT-ST derived from then? Of course the dichotomy exists. It may be hazy around the edges, but you can see the general shape of it as clear as day. In the same way it's obvious to anyone that there's a general difference between manga and western comics/graphic novels, even while some examples blur the edges, and even though articulating that difference might be tricky.

>implying all of anime and every mecha series wasn't derived from western science fiction and animation (disney, hanna-barbarra, etc) brought over to Japan after the Second world war in a sort of cultural Marshall-Plan thought out by the U.S. government to act as a buffer against communist influences in Japan during the dawn of the cold war with Russia.

Star Wars is a funny case because that movie has had a fuckton of Japanese influences behind it but it also served as an influence to a fuckton of Japanese media afterwards.

The geeks behind the AT-ST definitely did watch some anime, though it probably was not mecha at all, rather sci-fi stuff which has all the neat designs in it.
R2D2, the jedi, Death Wader's armour, the plot of the movie,... are all Japanese.

World is not a vacuum and Japan is not a fairyland of people who live in isolation.
Anime is by and large just extrapolating Disney's work, Gundam's "silliest" aspect as quoted by western fans is the sabers which are nothing but a homage to the boner Japanese have for Star Wars.
Star Wars itself had a massive boner for Japan and Japanese but it is its own thing entirely.
Battletech is nothing but American weebs' wet dream since all creators did was take mecha and make it playable.
But Battletech spawned Mechwarrior which the Japanese liked so much they made Armored Core which is basically the same game, just with more designs, more things to do and better overall game design. But it's still inherently western-influenced, possibly the reason why they got Kawamori and Nue working on the game (the guys behind the original "western" designs).

Nice, are the sayings suite specific, or do all share the same lines?
