What are some good mecha games I can play on PC (including emulation)?

>>382998075
Buy a PS4 stupid Nintenbro

>>382998075
Any of the dozens of SRW games, though only Alpha Gaiden and J are in english.

>>382998774
*and emulatable, since the two officially translated games are on PS4.

>>382998774
I played a bit of OG and while I thought the mechanics were alright, the story was a bit too anime for my taste, if that makes any sense.

>>382998992
Of course it's going to be anime as fuck, the non-OG mainline series are crossovers between a whole bunch of mecha anime. Z2 for example had Gurren Lagann and Code Geass amongst other things.

>>382998075

Why would you suggest a game that cannot be played?

>>383000239
All the games he listed either can't be played were never released in the west and/or emulate like shit.

>>382998075
You can emulate every Armored Core from 1 to Last Raven, so go nuts.

>>383000560
I once tried to play 3 and it emulated really bad.

Any Front Mission. The last one is weird, but not bad.

>>382998774
SRW V too.

>>382998075
This opens the wound, Zone of the Enders 3 never happening

>>382999793
>>383000560

my niggas.

it saddens me that I only got to play ac2 and the pretty shitty ac3.

completely missed out Last Raven and that other expansion, which looked like the most polished and coolest of the era.

I swear on me fucking mum the next Armored Core game better be on PC.

>>383005634
Wat? Armored Core 3 is vastly superior to AC2. Better basic, better CGI intro, better Arena, larger variety of parts and the introduction of weapon cores to the series, more challenging missions and secret extras.

>>383006167

I hope they run out of funds and have to cancel it. I'm not even joking, this is another obvious C&C4/Front Mission: Evolved/No Man's Sky/TORtanic in the making, just like ME:A.

Just finished Xenoblade Chronicles X on CEMU, nice game, the mecha design is pretty cool, but maybe too much on the japanese side for /v/

I hated how the mechs actually played in that game. It was really boring compared to crazy overdrive combos you could do on foot with all your moves synergizing with other moves getting bonus chains and shit, where in mechs it was all sitting around waiting for cool downs.

I don't see why not. Fencer pretty much plays like a human-sized mech with the way you must use boosts to efficiently move around and the heavy recoil, aiming and long reload times on weapons. Perfectly viable mecha-like alternative for offline playan'

Air Raider has actual mechs of all shapes and sizes, and I can count on one hand the number of games in the past decade that have multi-pilot Mechs so EDF4.1 also has that unique fun advantage over most pure mechs games ITT. Yes Air Raider has problems playing solo as a mech pilot, but playing online is a blast, especailly if you have friends.

Before you even reply with some "western design", just be aware that even those designs were first done by Japanese and just stolen from Americans looking for a quick buck.
Every good or decent "Battletech" design is just a worse version of something from Macross/Dougram/Votoms, and you definetely notice the drop in quality when they start doing original designs.

>>383009192

to be fair AC was a nice game with shit tier graphics and controls and.. well basically shit tier everything.

Still enjoyed it and its aesthetic antagonist/title mechs

There is one old one for Sega Saturn (or was it some other SEGA console) but the modern one is clearly the one they have in their arcades.

And even 3rd person games can be very much detailed. Armored Core or Chromehounds were both much more detailed simulators compared to Mechwarrior, despite being intended as primarily played in 3rd person.

>>383014583
I don't see most 3rd person games as "simulators" because they don't try to simulate actually piloting a mech. They're essentially beat-em-ups with some auto-aim ranged weapons.

>>383015287
They forgo the pilot and simulate the world and everything in it, alongside the mechs and their systems.

Meanwhile, the one qualm I have had with all Medchwarrior titles and hope to see rectified in the future is that they pretend to be simulators but simulate almost nothing at all. The environment, the mechs, the weapons, the systems,... all of that is decided by digital yes/no flags and arcade rules set in stone leftover from the board game which means that aside from giving you a ton of buttons to push, you're essentially playing an arcade game like Ace Combat.

let the thread die in peace please

Mechwarrior is a bit more elaborate than that though, armour, weapon systems, heat management, etc.
What is most important however is that they attempt to make the player feel like actually piloting a mech and operating it like the actual pilot would. In these third-person games it's usually far more detached, kinda like mouse-aim mode in War Thunder opposed to full stick and rudder controls.

We haven't heard anything but PGI normally announces shit and then takes fucking forever.
If we don't hear more shit come next mechcon time to assume it's as dead as the first Mechwarrior 5.
>>383007513
Even assuming it'll be shit those are pretty damn awful comparisons, anon. Those were all bad because of huge, inflated budgets. Hell, demanding it be AAA, instead of just accepting a solid game in the AA range is also ridiculous. You can do a lot in the larger than indie, smaller than AAA bracket. Especially when you have the name-recognition like Mechwarrior behind it to get investors interested.

This is all moot because it's PGI and they're the most incompetent group of developers you will ever fucking see, but that's the only reason to dislike it.

>>383016446
Mechwarrior just does all of those things so much worse though, AC has heat management but you also get to pick your radiator, which you then have to balance for weight with your chassis and legs. Minmaxing and building an optimized AC is actually a fun process because every choice has a trade off and every decision in the game has meaning, it makes you feel like you're piloting a mech in a way Mechwarrior wishes it could.

Optimization in Mechwarriors (before 4) involves dumping all your armor from your limbs and throwing it all on your legs and torso where you also store all your ammo as well, there are no limits to how broken that system is in 2 and 3. 4 tried to balance this out a bit but succeed it only dumbing everything down in the process.

>>383016446
The systems in Mechwarrior are not simulating reality, though. They only mimic the tabletop rules which are really basic.

Just go and emulate Armored Core Silent Line which does have a full-fledged cockpit mode (much like MW3, the later Armored Core games reduced the framework around you so it's really the most intricate first person view games in the series). Connect your flightstick instead of a gamepad and toy around with the mechlab a bit to see what I mean.

>>383017531
Faux realistic aesthetic, typified by Battletech. Also slower, less agile mechs.
>>383017589
That'd hold some weight if there was even shit that copied mechwarrior made this century. Complaining it all plays the same when there's only a handful of examples is pretty hollow.

Also, I said western styled. Something like chromehounds plays to the sensibilities typically considered western, hence it selling far more in the west than in Japan.

I agree 100%, MKII is often overlooked because so much of it's innovation has become standard to the point it's been almost entirely erased. In-Universe it's nothing more than a moderate improvement over the RX-78 which serves as a testbed for all the new post-war technologies, but in terms of real world mechanical design in the sub-genre and influence on Gundam it's unmatched.

The original Gundam's design was horrific from a mechanical standpoint, the arms and legs are single jointed and can hardly move, the skirt armor is rigid and blocks the legs from moving, the armor of the gundam in integral to the structure rather than removable plates sitting on an internal skeleton for easy maintenance. These are all fixed with the MKII and most of these have been retroactively ported to all future incarnations of OYW MS design as well as serving as a the basis for all other MS. It's also such an elegantly balance design, not too overstated but not lacking in fine detail. it's one of the best in the whole franchise for sure.

That doesn't even vaguely make it blockier. Hence me cutting off size in my original response because that's the only angle you can come from.

Just look your image, every single one has double jointed elbows, every single one has free hanging skirt armor, every single one is more MKII than it is original RX-78. Which returns to my point, all the innovations of the MKII and what makes it such an important design is nearly invisible because it did everything so well it has since been ported to everything else.

I don't argue against that. Just saying that comparing two designs is pretty hard and pointless because of amount of redesigns.
No question that MKII is superior from design point of view, as well as all later 0079 designs.
I don't think it's as important as whole existence of RX-78-2 (tho Zaku II are the ones which were most important in 0079 for real robot genre), cause it's seems like natural evolution which was supposed to happen in the first place.

I said the design on the whole is more sleek. Primarily because every part of the RX-78 are just fucking straight blocks. The legs aren't necessarily sleeker but they're no less sleek either and still definitely less blocky. See: extra thruster breaking up the silhouette and stopping it from being a straight oblong.

Do you guys think the genre would be more popular if the levels were a bit more intricate?
Seems like 90% of levels in mecha games are either low-poly city-ruins, some semi-flat wasteland or weird giant structures. I think the shitty levels kill the sense of scale, which in return kills the immersion/atmosphere

That's partially what makes it so significant, even more so than the original RX-78 which was mechanically just a rehash of Zambot 3. The MKII was a paradigm shift it changed how all future and previous MS would look, more so than the RX-78 did because it has superseded the RX-78 by retroactively being incorporated into the RX-78, when someone drew inspiration from the RX-78 they were drawing from the MKII-ized RX-78 not the original white Zambot 3 RX-78.

Too shitty actually, nips just know how to do weighty mechs much better than the west anyway.

>>383025659
You know both of them can be right. A game that is in between a mecha game and cod, but not enough in either direction thus no one is happy.

>generic offbrand kawamori style transformer
>not weeb
If anything it's too weeb.

>People talking about hawken like it isn't an ok game that slowly died before being sold to a new dev that desecrated it's corpse by ruining the game balance by having direct upgrades of the existing mechs and raping the games performance by replacing the PC version of the game with a shitty console version that they made

>>383011506
they took out the huds and all those meters that were specific to each mech cockpit and put some stupid dash and hp bars in the middle of the screen cause it wasnt noob friendly and you had to get used to each mech
i played alpha beta and release and the game got worse and worse until they fucking killed it, necromanced it onto steam and the just killed it again.

>>383027515
Thats literally a fucking rejected weeb design.

I like mechwarrior anyway, projection fag

> muh style over substance

I've played plenty of mech games and this is one of the best feeling arcadey renditions.

Being able to go from stomping around crushing infantry and tanks to instantly taking off and soaring across the map to land on enemy capital ships felt great.

>>383027515
looks like hot shit cock gobbler

Please help.

Played an old mech game years ago on a 360 I think.

You were a huge slowish mech in third person and could step on infantry. One of the levels was a linear romp in a foresty mountain

>>383026675
In today times it could be an more action oriented MOBA on big map.

it would be fun if mobs were an entire army and catapults were replaced with low orbit corvettes.

No one cares, RAD did it better.

>>383029605
But in RAD you only ever fight one or two enemies at once on a small map.
I never used guns on plane mode because controls in it were so awful.

man pc mech games really are dead
the only games people mention are ps2 games or imports

Watch the video and come up with equally terrible reasons to dislike the gameplay.

The controls are the best part, they give you an unparalleled level of control over your mech.

If you're done being a faggot though I can recommend you some Macross games, since they're basically everything you like about Gunmetal but better. There are quite a few with massive maps, complex missions and transforming mechs.

>>383030698
not him but give me these macross games

>>383029590
>Is it really that good?

It is a very love or hate thing. The controls are brutal and the series doesn't explain itself at all.
However, Chromehounds is the only game to ever surpass it in the sheer amount of customisability and you're doing more work than a chief mechanic of F1 by Last Raven.

The machines look gorgeous with almost any combination of parts and you can play with them to your hearts content trying to solve one bullshit mission after another.

Basically, it's a tweaker's wet dream. If you just want to jump in and stomp shit the old games are not really for you. If you can enjoy long sessions spent in the lab, putting together beautiful machine of war that will then challenge your ability to git gud at piloting, then it's by far the best game around.

Asians are working to rectify this, but they've only started once they discovered Steam so it takes a while.
See Project Nimbus (Thailand), Dual Gear (Thailand), Code: Hardcore (China), and so on.

Yep, the older games don't keep up with modern games anymore, but trust me, Last Raven is the pinnacle of real robot vidya sims.

Western arcade mech games like Mechassault and Battle-engine Aquila and Gunmetal must have spoiled me

If you think Kawamori's stuff looks even remotely like a gundam you have brain cancer.

>>383031843
demonstrably false but if you like le edgy spikes then armored core is in fact right up your alley just like the dicks up your ass

>>383030698
I meant the plane mode, mostly because the game has second person perspective.
