What are the absolute best mecha games for /vr/?
>>
>>
>>12019612
I only played the demo, but R.A.D. for the PS2 seemed pretty dope. The voice acting is atrocious, though.

And depending if you like certain mecha anime franchises, there are some Macross and Gundam games that might interest you (I personally recommend Macross Plus for Playstation).

Nothing to choose from. The mecha game is only one.

The issue with japanese they do awesome anime dramas/psychology horrors etc. everything human, but just as much are incapable of anything machines. Any proper machines games are western: Battletech (SMD), Strike series (SMD), Armored Fist series, Mechwarrior, Shattered Steel etc.

And the most is Japanese are capable to do are stupid cardboard toy shooters such as ZOE, or absolutely godawful trash like Armored Core.

>>
>>12019983

Nice american Microsoft Corporation's Xbox advertising product.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_Battalion

But yeah, the first two Xbox consoles had decent japanese third party support (specially the 360). I blame Don Mattrick for fumbling the Xbone's launch and killing most of the goodwill they had amassed.
And then Sony shot itself in the foot some time later.

i do know hence wondering if is gundam simulator kit since controls are the same.
>>12021931
kuratas 01 is a robot released in 2015/16 can't recall the date, it was sold for anyone i think was 600 millions yens for basic setup with a military setup costing more but requiring permits, the control system was well it had 2.
>gundam layout : gundam kinda controllers with two sticks, 3 pedals and configuration buttons as well all the other needs.
>killballad layout : mobile app to control kuratas via your phone like in robotic notes anime.
if i have the money i would have bought it without a second doubt since was sold even on amazon japan.
>>
Endless Waltz for a pretty good side scrolling versus fighting game with mechas.
Armored Core for that sweet spot between military sim and arcade action.
>>12020029
IIRC Armored Core got analog controls with Nine Breaker and that can be patched into previous AC third gen episodes.
>>
>>12019618
disc 1, at least.
just consider the game finished at the end o disc 1 and be content with that . you'll be happier that way.

No, you don't.

>>12019612
Man, I wish they made a modern Great Battle game with 4p local coop.

Anyway, I haven't seen anyone mention Metal Warriors yet, that one was pretty cool with the ability to exist your suit and grab another one.

Another one I really liked on the SNES was SD Gundam X, iirc. It was like a SD G Gundam Generation game, but with real time mobile suit combat when mobile suits attacked each other. IIRC the spiritual successor to this was SD Gundam Gachapon Wars on GC or Wii.

This is advertisement, not support by making games. As you can see, game made to look cool but to absolutely prevent anyone to play it. This is an AD, not a game. The purpose of an AD is to create cool illusion of cool console, not to make a game intended to be played. This 'thing' is clearly intended NOT to be played judging by hard exclusive and absurdly over-engineered and overpriced controller requirement. No player will boy it, this is obvious, only businesses will acquire it to advertise coolness of Microsoft console.

So this is an american AD, not a japanese game.

I love The Great Battle games.

The G Generation games come from the Gachapon Senshi games ("Gachapon Generation"), been playing a lot of the fifth one but recently went back to the fourth. The mechanics in these games are simple but fun. It's a shame the first 32-bit outing, G Century, was supposedly so bad it killed this series, but they had moved on to G Generation shortly after, and the rest is history.
