Whats the point of bipedal-ism anyways? Humans should have four legs dammit.

fuck hunchbacks and fuck lasers

tanks are really rarely obselete in mech universes because you see them everywhere.

Mechs are cool. Fuck you faggot.

the same reason we don't have wheels. It was way easier to evolve into bipedals than it was to evolve a new set of appendages

some mech universes even have the mechs get fucked. there's nothing scarier then encountering a hovertank in heavy gear.

Yes but

Theoretically a elevated bipedal platform would be superior in most terrain. The elevation would allow it clear line of fire over most obstacles and the bipedal part would allow it to traverse uneaven terrain easier. The larger frame would allow for more and heavier weapons to be fitted so they would be superior fire support.

The only things tanks would have over them is speed, stealth, and lower cost. Tanks would be rapid response or ambush units.

The only thing implausible is that tanks would stand no chance against them. A tank ambush unit would allow it to easily score the first hit which could easily cripple or disable the mech. Advance scouting units would be required to locate and possibly take out any tanks lying in ambush before a mech assault occurs.

i feel like if we go thousands of years in the future armor would be so good that proyectiles would never pierce through it and we'll have to go back to melee

Everyone knows the future of warfare are explosive swarms of drones. It will be drone rains until Then it's medieval castles and storming the gates with a sword.

The bigger they are...
Bipedal is fucking retarded concept unless the machine need to climb stairs.

who's hopping on?

There is nothing a man/giant robot can swing that will deal greater damage than that same thing being propelled at supersonic speeds. If(when) future mankind developed a way to cut through said superarmor, we'd just find a way to shoot it at the enemy instead of getting close.

if tanks were truly obselete they wouldn't be used so much

or hills or mountains or basically anything that isnt a paved road

why would they? you cant get better than mecha

i mean other than zoids which are pokemon mecha

>bipedal
>bi
>two
Also we have helicopters for that.

>Also we have helicopters for that.
but can your helicopter swing a gigantic laser sword or shoot guns with shells the size of semi-trucks?

Video games don't have to give a single fuck about plausibility

I mean, tanks are cool, too, but mechs are just cooler.

This had both and they were well balanced.

>want to play EDF
>still deeply terrified of spiders
Sucks man.

i don't know man, imagine an armor that always stops proyectiles,or some futuristic shield that always takes the proyectile in an angle and deflects it, but i feel that at some point in the future bullets should stop working, at least in a very futuristic setting

A bipedal platform would be the best for mobility as long as they weren't just extremely clunky mechs. Slower designs would benefit more from the stability extra legs would provide without significantly impacting speed or maneuverability. The more legs you add the more movement is required to actually start moving anywhere.

If the mobility gets too low you begin entering the just use a lot of self propelled artillery instead as their only use would be long range fire support.

Helicopters are more fragile and can't be loaded as much as a large bipedal platform could.

I wish people would do mechs -right-.

Devs and art designers don't know a fucking thing about Torque.
And I don't mean the torque produced by a motor.

I mean mechanical torque.
T = F d
Where Torque T
is equal to
The force applied
times
the distance/radius of its application

Which means, on something like a mech arm/leg
The heavier the end of the limb is, the more weight/force/torque it produces at the base of the limb.
This is why your own limbs get smaller as you go from shoulder to fingertip, from thigh to toe.

I'm still waiting to see mechs that slim as the limb goes further.
Only game I can recall to get mechs remotely right is an old (now abandonware game), G-NOME.

>tanks are obselete
No, they have a porpouse and basically peaked. A mech does totally different thing.

VOTOMS would be the most "practical" form of mechs, so something like armored core 5 sized would do well.

Also mechs would bully the shit outta tanks. :^)

Play Arma

realism is killing video games

>I'm still waiting to see mechs that slim as the limb goes further.
Gonna have to ask you to leave.

Zone of Enders doesn't count because it's flying space-weeb shit

Fuck you pusshole mechs are cool

>slim
shit's hollow mang, don fret about the girth

To do otherwise would be a massive increase in biomass and evolutionary complexity, and greatly reduce the flexibility and reach of our hands. Bipedal is the optimal configuration for us.

>Get in it once for the first Kaiju fight
>Literally never use it again because on higher difficulties it instantly fucking explodes to the swarms of smaller enemies that it has shit all defence against
>Guns do more damage anyway
As I understand it, it's just as useless in 5.

Mechs are overdone and shit. I would prefer if developers just made interesting tanks.

>no in-depth sci-fi tank game

Just fucking kill me. Like, I'd give up my first born to have tank game akin to even WoT/WT but I'm in something like the EDF Titan.

The only recent tank experience I had was with Arma III's Tank DLC, but fuck that clunky shit.

Tanks are boring and gay. Modern day equivalent of autists who screeched about Horse Calvary

A simulator based around crewing futuristic tanks would be tits. Make it 1-5 players, give it a ChromeHounds Neroimus War-type of persistent online layer and you've got one hell of a experience. Maybe optional VR?

There really aren't that many mech games. Being a mech fan is suffering. Right now, we have MWO (which isn't terrible, but is eh), BATTLETECH (which is extremely eh), and the constantly delayed MW5. I'd count MAV, but it's just not up to snuff, unfortunately.

How's the population for 4.1 on PC these days? It's on sale and I'm tempted to buy.

I'm still waiting for gun manufacturers should be producing guns smaller than my finger for this very reason. As youve stated, it's physically impossible to hold anything in our hands bigger than the hand itself.

Oh boy, it's free the next month on gold, i can't wait

Not sure about the VR aspect, so long as it doesn't make concessions exclusively to it. I don't know of many games that offer supposedly intuitive VR and non-VR experience besides House of the Dying Sun.

But yes, a psuedo-sim and co-op would indeed be tits. Maybe for standard or lighter tanks, one player is necessary. But you'll need more players in order to unlock better combat abilities or crew the super heavy tanks.

That being said, why do the nips make better fucking looking sci-fi tanks? Like, what the fuck?
