Anyone else playing this?

Don’t have a picture but you can make your character extra thicc, looks like doa proportions

I was on board with gritty EDF, got up today all set to pirate it but it wasn't on GGN. Looked into it a bit more and realised it's PS4 exclusive

>not deved by sandlot

is it just a shitty spin off that misses the fun but has muh better graphics?

>For some reason wants to make you swing a samurai sword
Is that a motherfucking Onechanbara reference

It can't be helped.

Fuck. I'd play this if I had a s*ynystation

I've got Xbox, Switch and PC. Why don't they ever release on any of those?? They used to release their games on the 360

i am genuinely SEETHING that 5 and this are both not on PC

It's inferior. I would be willing to forgive it if not for two things:
1. Collision boxes are fucking MASSIVE and don't even attempt to match actual enemy models. It's like every enemy AND the player character is secretly a massive invisible sphere, which feels horrible. Enemy bodies persist for a really long time and can't be moved by anything but the biggest weapons and even then not much, clogging shit up instantly. Then, enemies behind them have an impossible time trying to climb over their huge, fucked up collision boxes so it all just goes wrong, every single time.
2. No grace period on knockdowns, and EVERY attack knocks you down. Juggling deaths are not uncommon at all.
Fix these two things and it would be a mediocre but acceptable knockoff EDF to tide us over til EDF 6. As it is, it's endlessly frustrating.

>Juggling deaths are not uncommon at all.
Sounds like typical Hector shenanigans to me.

*ahem*
TO SAVE OUR MOTHER EARTH FROM ANY ALIEN ATTACK

Literally no. Even machine gun Hectors had a maximum of damage they could do while you're ragdolling, and after that there was a few seconds after you got up to escape. There's none of that for any enemy at all.
Ranged attacks now don't do knockdown generally, but they're also near impossible to dodge now for being so massive, fast travelling and straight-flying rather than arched.

I really like the new song, it grows on you

>Hectors had a maximum of damage they could do while you're ragdolling
Complete horseshit.

Except it isn't. I've played enough of 4.1 to know, and there's the same thing in 5. If you don't know it, you haven't been paying attention.

no air raider no buy

This game looks extremely crappy and lame, yet fun to play in coop.

Didn't play it yet, but seems much more fun than Anthem.

>this game looks much more fun than rolling in literal garbage
whoda thunk user

EDF is the definition of pure fun. Don't get this though, get 4.1 if you're PC or 5 on ps4

Should I buy EDF Iron Rain or EDF 5

5

how's the character creator?

5 5 5 a million times 5

Well enough. You can most likely make something you'll enjoy playing around in. Not super in-depth but does the job.

Show evidence or fuck off.

Utterly inadequate and totally superfluous. Lot of clothing choices, though, but they're mostly pretty similar and largely covered up by your PA gear.

I want to start with the first one. Is it playable on emulator?

Skip to 20 seconds
He doesn't fly away as much as I'd like but it still shows the cap kicking in just before he stops ragdolling.

EDF is the kind of series that you just play the latest iteration

Are you fucking retarded? He stops taking damage there because the i-frames starts slightly before you stop ragdolling. If you get juggled in the air by a combo of red blasts and machinegun fire there's nothing you can do but wait to die.

I have Onechanbara Z2 Chaos, one of these days I will actually get past the 2nd level.

I loved 2025/4.1 but am getting genuinely annoyed with how long it takes to release 5 on PC. The game came out in Japan in 2017. It's been almost a year and a half.

yepa

It's not really a hard game. Pick Saki and use her flail 360 move.
There's also a level later where you slaughter a ton of demons in a hotel with this banger playing

>At the start I thought the maps were to small, and the bugs too tanky, but later guns are way better and the maps open up later, enemy count isn’t bad either. I miss air raider but the new bug rider is actually really fun

ok good to know user it was concerning though I figured it was borderline introduction or a tutorial for how to play the game.

>no air raider
wtf why

Please don't just spread false information because your 600 armour hasn't been enough to see the cap kick in on Hardest.

Someone in this thread, back me up here, it's been a feature for years. I'll keep looking for a better video.

There is no classes in general. Your PA gear selection is pretty much your class choice, but you can choose whatever weapons.

You won't find shit because it's not true. You're just a retard hiding behind the "o-oh you didn't play it..." excuse.

Attached: Capture.png (658x112, 122K)

What class do you guys play in the real EDFs?
I play Air Raider all the time, nothing like sending 3 simultaneous air strikes
That's some terrible luck.

Usually Trooper.

Shame there's no Air Rider but I hope the Spider-Man class gets ported.

Alright I guess, but you'll just throw a helmet on and forget what your character looks like.

but user you can only equip two.

also real fencer hours who up

No buy from me for now.
>only 52 stages
>end boss looks like shit
>multiple currencies and shit price balancing
>using items and vehicles deduct earned money

What? In 5 you can have 3.

It's kind of bullshit how there seems to be absolutely zero stun when you shoot an enemy. I'm still pretty early on and the fact that the enemy can easily stun you and you can't stun them is already starting to get frustrating.

o-oh
I'm a pcfag so i cant play 5 ; ;

Those fireball tossing guys are mega deadly especially in groups. You only have so much boost.

Damn that sucks. 5 is way better than 4.1 for a lot of reasons
>Armor pickups affect all characters
>Weapon duplicates aren't useless
>FROGGY BOIS
>Much better FPS compared to 4.1 console
>Seems to have more variety in weapons

Tell me it's good and I'll get it right now. Edf5 was a massive step up from 3 and 4.1 so I'm hyped.

Nah it's definitely a sidegrade. The lack of difficulty killed its longevity.

Then play on a harder difficulty you absolute goof troop

the couple of vids I watched about it looked fun enough but what really puts me off right now is the penalty for using vehicles, what the fuck man

Attached: 1466383640498.gif (264x240, 2.64M)

Hardest and Inferno in 5 are a joke compared to 4.1. You should have been able to understand that from "longevity."

Who else got their shit unexpectedly pushed in by the Sicaros?

>Penalty for using vehicles
So what happens to Air Raider then?

yeah the games gotten pretty consistently better with releases it seems. i really wish theyd release 5 on pc, or even iron rain just so i have more edf to play.

I think the penalty is really just a (poorly executed) way of saying ''if you REALLY want that highest mission rating, fucking prove yourself''

It makes perfect sense. Using items of any kind should come at cost to your rank.

There is no classes.

Still haven't beaten 5 yet lol
Fuck the double armor ayyz

Just recorded my own proof, trimming and uploading it.

fully pushed, had to bitch out and switch to easy mode for that early brutal mission

Never noticed cuz I'm not a pussy that plays on normal.

DLC stages are fun tho

>prove yourself by not having fun with all options game gives you
what a deal

Do this game has some shitty audio and sound effects? I'm using the English audio should I change it to other?

It really is super gay. There are tons of different items and tools and vehicles, too, and it's all basically wasted because who's going to reduce their payout in a game where money is this valuable?

It has lots. Sound effects are no different between tracks. Sound balancing is completely fucked on top of the weak sounds, bullet based weapons make NO fucking noise while your character screams louder than the D3P start up logo when you go into overdrive. Ridiculous.

Especially considering how much of those money you need to just unlock the guns alone.
They westernized this game alright, by removing fun out of equation.

Yeah it sounds like crap. Maybe if you get a better weapon later on.

I'm on mission 5 and right now I give the game a 7/10. When EDF5 was 10/10

Why did they want to make a side game again?

EDF is niche in west, they wanted mainstream western audience.
Idiots. As if people who play nothing but Gears of War and similar shit will even look at EDF.

And the game was released with no advertising or shilling nobody knows it exist.

I hope they keep prowler i want more classes

Well D3 seems did have sent review copies to literally anyone who was asking, I've seen channels with hardly any views or whatever gaming websites getting review copies.
It's just mainstream fags never cared about EDF in the first place to bother. Only time it happened before was PC release and only cause "wow, look funky b-movie japanese game so bad its good", not because EDF is geniunenly was interesting for them.

The movement tools are pretty good, but the spider riding is pretty poorly implemented.
Actually, "good idea poorly implemented" pretty much sums up Iron Rain in its entirety. I would love to see a bunch of the ideas it introduces taken up by Sandlot, a developer who can actually make good, ugly games.

Eh, it’s no EDF5 but I’ve played worse. I’m Still pretty early on in the game though.

Just grab 4.1 on PS4 or Steam for $20
5 is good but wait for it to go on sale for

Got reminded this series existed browsing the psn.
Are the ps3/360 games worth it? Watching some reviews, the framerate is all over the place but I kinda like that early 7th gen AA game feel.

Does that game ever fucking go on sale? I ain't spending 40 goddamn bucks on a shitty port.

Attached: z.png (516x308, 14K)

I can deal with that, I guess. Added to wishlist.

I actually got creeped out by the spiders in this game for some reason. I don’t know if it’s because I got surprised by them or what but I definitely got the heebie jeebies there for a bit.

Expect DLC/microtransactions down the line so you can simply pay to unlock instead of grinding.

2017 is pretty barebones, the Vita remake's better
2025 is good but outclassed by 4.1, the PS4 remake
Insect Armageddon's... okay, but definitely a westerner's take on EDF

insect armageddon is also insanely short

they already gave out ingame currency for preorder

I only played one EDF game that was on the Vita. Is it still worth picking up 4.1 on PC or is it best to wait until EDF 5 comes out?

if it's on sale or you pirate it yeah it's good but if you play both too close together you might get burnt out

4.1 is absolutely worth it. 5 feels like a different enough game where it doesn't just invalidate the existence of earlier titles. 4.1 does seem to improve on literally everything in 2017 though

I've been playing MH for the better of over three years, I think I'll be fine.

The friendly AI in this feels even worse then normal. They’re already useless in mainline EDF so I’m not sure how this is even possible. They like barely even move.

No I'm still playing 5 and iron rain looks like shit.

Waiting for PC release of 5
>they developed Iron Rain and 5 at the same time and released within the same year
Why tho

>both 5 and Iron Rain are digital only and full price
Get the fuck outta here with that shit D3

They're entirely worthless, they rarely even draw enemy fire effectively. Their attacks do NO damage, and as you said they walk uber slowly. It's a serious shift from EDF 5 where they're actually pretty competent.

Anyone know if it has the starship trooper assault rifle? I seen they have the armor which is cool.

>tfw waiting for EDF5 on PC

Attached: 1534639596179.jpg (789x960, 43K)

It has the carbine version of the Morita as the 'basic' assault rifle, but I haven't seen the full size yet.

Do people still play 4.1 on PC? I put alot of time into the PS4 version to the point where I just never got it when it came on PC due to not wanting to grind again.

Epic exclusive desu

they released 4.1 for pc about 6 months after console, so we still have a few months to go before they might release it

Damn, hopefully there's a full size maybe. But at least part of it is in there.

It'll happen eventually, but it seems they had massive problems somewhere along the way localising EDF5 and that's likely bled into porting it too. No idea what it could possibly be, unless it really was establishing their own localisation group, which was a mistake. So many grammar mistakes in EDF 5, even in the spoken tracks. Strange wording is part of the experience; actual mistakes like "aircrafts" and no understanding of present perfect are not.

For a game trying hard to be a bit more serious and western-oriented the voice acting in Iron Rain is really bad.
I mean yeah it's EDF so shit's gonna be goofy but 4.1 had a legitimately great dub that perfectly pulled off utterly ridiculous lines with a straight face.

hahahaha

God I wish you XSEED fanboys would fuck off already.

Retard. Any localisation house can handle it, but clearly Chinese ESLs should not.

>not liking engrish
wew lad

How is the frame rate on ps4 pro?

I've played EDF 4.1 a few times with 3 buddies, my first experience with the series. It's pretty fun, although I can't see myself wanting to play too much with randoms or solo.
I'm the Wing Diver of the group, been loving how all the different weapons handle, no two are alike. Right now I'm using a short range rapier and a sniper rifle. Does anyone have any advice on what kinds of weapons I should avoid or try to stick with?

There are some that are better than others but I'd rather not colour your experience. Experiment and go nuts since you're with friends, playing safe is more of a solo or randoms thing.

Post your custom characters you dorks.

Also just got into 4.1 with some friends as a Wing Diverfag. Been playing on hard and almost 100 missions in now. There are some options you get that should pretty clearly be better than all your other stuff. You'll probably know them when you see them, I dunno.

Tried to watch 3 different playthroughs yesterday. Each player died multiple times during the tutorial and they all switched to Easy.

I gave up trying to watch.

Unironically the tutorial is nearly impossible on anything above Normal because of how poor the basic trooper's evasion options are, the pitiful damage of your weapons and how huge and absolute brick wall the invisible collision models of the ants are. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking even letting you choose a difficulty.

They did 2025 just fine. No idea why the fuck you retards see the XSEED logo on 4.1 and assume they deserve credit for recycling 99% of everything from 2025.

I didn't play her for very long.
>weak machine gun that is seemingly attached to your torso, aiming is literally useless because your body is going to be above bugs 90% of the time
>grenade launcher that's strong but uses up way too much of your energy
>weak ass lasers
>one laser I found split into two beams in opposite directions, wider than this fucking V right here, making it absolutely worthless
>unsatisfying and extremely situational electric weapons

Especially that spread laser, what the fuck?

That isn't even remotely true. There's a ton of cores laying around and you can stay in overdrive the whole time.

I really dig this game's aesthetic, I just wish it was a lot better after all the complaints I've heard.
It would have been cool if it was like the MHW of EDF where it made a lot smoother gameplay and such, but also kept the main series going.
Also, PUT MORE EDF ON PC

Your continued mentioning of xseed is some serious "pancakes" shit. I'm only saying the Chings who translated 5 (their names are on the credit reel) sought absolutely no input or editing advice from native speakers despite having an entire native voice cast available. Everything else was fine, and with editing those mistakes would have been eliminated, but they didn't.

>the Chings who translated 5 sought absolutely no input or editing advice from native speakers despite having an entire native voice cast available.
That's how the series has always been. Complaining about it makes you look stupid.

This, I can never go back to EDF on console after 4.1.

What is it with this thread and blatantly false statements?

>The bullets are stuck!
>Don't come this way!
If you think these are indicative of a translation made after consulting some native English speakers, you don't know English yourself.

Spread lasers are midrange anti-swarm weapons. You either soar over or face down a horde and just hold fire while crowd controlling with it.

They get much better at higher levels when they have more beams than two though.

The series has not had a script as poorly edited as 5's in a long time.

They're *grammatically* correct, though, which is what I've been saying. There are no (very few, in some mission descriptions, fine) *grammar* mistakes that a native would notice instantly but an ESL would be blind to in 4, and there's plentiful use of the "perfect" tenses which natives use freely while ESLs, specifically from Asian backgrounds, do not because they don't exist in their native language so they have trouble understanding their use. In 5, there are many of them, and a near absence of "perfect" tenses where they would be naturally appropriate.

The PHRASING in EDF has always been (seemingly intentionally to mirror old Japanese kaiju movie dubs) strange, but the GRAMMAR has never been wrong like in 5. To repeat my previous example, "aircrafts" isn't even a word, yet it appears many times in 5, and plenty of other examples like that. It feels WRONG instead of feeling like the spirit of the source material.

I'm other user, those are valid points to criticize generally, but holy crap who the fuck cares about some engrish in a fucking action game with little to no story.
Want spirit of source material? Complain about no dual audio.

Imagine getting so upset and unironically bitching over shit I haven't heard about since elementary school. No one gives a fuck about present participle or whatever the fuck you're so hung up on. I'm surprised you function in the real world.

>can't refute his points so you just turn to crying about him caring at all
Pathetic

>his
Don't pretend you're not samefagging hard.
>oh no guys they said deers fucking 0/10 can't believe this shit

what the point of refuting valid points?
Problem that while point are valid - they are so insignificant - it's hilarious that someone actually bothered by them.

Wew lads you're sure sensitive about ESLs being insulted, got something to tell us?

Projecting much?

I can see that, but what else is wrong with you?

GIANT INSECTS CANT FLY?!
