Why did mecha (genre) video games die?

Perhaps for fromsoft but not the genre as a whole. Armored Core was a great series that ended needlessly but it certainly wasn’t the only mech game out there, however popular it was.

>Mechwarrior 5 which I haven't played but heard was good
It's absolute dogshit.
>Brigador
Solid, but hardly a mech game.
>Battletech
Absolute dogshit, even modded it's mediocre at best.
>Tokyo Damascus
Absolute dogshit.
>Various shmups
Shmups aren't mech games.

Have you fucking played any of these?

>brigador isn't a mech game
Hai moshi moshi trollu-san desu
Let me guess you use the phrase "manime" and think Kenshiro is a tough as balls badass

Miyazaki is a ZSS fan and wanted to spite ACfag so he killed Armored Core with his own two hands.

>miyazaki killed Armored Core by making 2 games in the series, one of which is considered up there with LR

Whatever happened to Dual Gear?

You didn't buy Deamon X Machina

It's still alive, the devs are working on it
Because it's shit

Wasn't he really involved in LR anyway?
Also, they're definitly doing another one anyway. It's just that they bled some Armored core staff over the years and they're likely trying to not fuck up the formula again

Miyazaki doesn't even appear in the credits for LR

You're shit.

Are you the dev?

Typical armored core

No, you're shit.

why yes i love armored core

Your game does have colour Mr Dev but lacking in the gameplay department
Hell it doesn't even have quads
So why would I pay money for a shitty AC when I can just pop in LR right now?
>he couldn't pass the Raven test

Because joysticks fell out of fashion

The gameplay could have been better, but it's more fun than most ACs save for Nexus/LR/4/V
You're not a /m/an if you can't appreciate it and you deserves another AC entry at all you fucktoy tranny.
And if I was the dev I wouldn't have had to hack my own game to support ultrawides..

>hurr you aren't a REAL /m/an if you dont like DXM
DxM is garbage Mr Dev and I love mecha, I just don't like garbage unless it's called Raijin-Oh

Shut up you massive fucking faggot.

Most jap mecha games don't need to be mecha.
You are not playing as a walking vehicle, just as agile air vehicle who happens to be human shaped.

This is why right here. Mech game comes out , autists won't buy it for autistic reasons, mech genre once again deemed unprofitable because you've once again proved it is.

Way to go retards.

Same reason

>autistic reasons
The game being shit is an autistic reason?

>hardly a mech game
Nigga how

of course i won't buy a piece of shit you mongoloid
how do i know it's shit? i played the free version

Because mecha anime died

By that thinking you can skin any game as any kind of game. Replace a CoD shooter with a wizard with a magic wand or a car game as a low-flying carpet. Why be a tank when you could be an rc toy or an elephant with a balista?

>doesn't even appear in the credits for LR
But he does

>It's not exactly like OTHER GAME? ITS TRASH!
>NO QUAD LEGS? LITTERALLY UNPLAYABLE MECHA BROS
Yes.

Then stop asking why your genre is dead. It's dead because you killed it.

Are you actually and unironically the dev
No one can be this retarded

Does he? I didn't see him

>Someone points out how autistic and retarded you're being
>R U THE DEV??
Is that really the best you can do?

better dead than smeared in poo like that game you made mr dev

That game isn't very good. It's just mecha borderlands, except you're in an arena, and there are less bullet sponge enemies to kill, the enemy AI are retarded, and you have to grind for gear. Like berserk fans, fans of the mecha genre are just starved for content, so much so that they will accept anything with a robot in it at this point. The game has a nice looking art style, and it runs well on pc. The fact that that even has to be mentioned as a positive should really say something.

It's not a 'fly down' button. It's a 'stop flying' button. I don't want to completely cut my thrusters everytime I want to sink a little but apparently that's too much to ask for a Bing Bing Wahoo machine game.

>they hated him because he spoke the truth

the last mecha game I played before DxM was MechAssault so I think it's okay

Ok mr Dev here's a few good points
>the garage theme is fucking good, almost as good as Nexus'
>decently fast pace
>very cool use of colours
However where you went wrong is everywhere else
Diablo-esque grinding shit is poison to this genre, which relies on skill and building instead of muh drops
The gyro controls suck balls and there's a ton of damage sponges

embarrasing mr dev

This is some insane cope.

Yeah, he's credited under "planning staff". I was geniuenly surprised when I saw him in the credits while replaying LR some time ago.

Just like New Gundam Breaker right? I desperately want to buy good gundam games for PC, but instead, they just shovel trash onto the store that is incompetently made. Then people make the correct decision not to buy it, and now we won't be getting any other games like it ever again. That has nothing to do with mech fans being autistic, that failure is on the developers, and them alone. The mecha genre is dying mostly due to incompetence.

>he took it

If that's how you feel, own it. You prefer the mech genre to be dead. Don't whine when this is the fate you chose. Why don't they make more mech games? Because you refuse to buy them.

No one cares about your review user, your opinions don't matter and no one cares what you think. What matters is if you autistic fucks buy the game or not. When no one buys mech games no one makes mech games, when people buy mech games people make mech games. This is true for literally every genre. Want to know what killed RTS? When RTS fans stopped buying RTS games.

>already played AC 1-SL on emulator and Nexus to LR on PS2
>still want physicals for 1-SL
how to stop being autist

Mr Dev it's not good to be this upset
You're taking this as badly as Andrew Allanson

Why is DxM’s movement so fucking awful? Why are so many maneuvers accompanied by some acrobatic bullshit that locks me out of further movements until they finish? Why do flying and downboosting come with set initial distances that make it a nightmare to find an aerial height that you actually want?

Because they have shit animators and can't into physics and momentum like FROM could with Armored Cores.

If it's a mech game and you didn't buy it and now you're wondering why they aren't making more mech games, yes, same deal. It's not just incompetence it's a niche fanbase that's too small and niche to support the types of games they want made.

>more "R U THE DEV??" bait
I guess that really is the best you can do. Kinda pathetic shitposter-kun.

How was Armored Core already this redpilled back in 1997?

Literally the point of Ideon, a mecha anime you idiot

Because developers interested in mecha don't know how to make games, and mecha games need a lot of work, so publishers etc. aren't interested in a bad deal like that, just look at Mechwarrior Online and Hawken

Everybody dies at the end of Ideon.
Guess we know what's going to happen to this thread.

I'm actually glad From finally hit pay dirt with Souls. I've been a fan of From longer than anyone and the Souls games are easily the most competent and polished games they've ever made. I love Armored Core, King's Field and Shadow Tower but they're all Jank as hell by comparison. I think From should stay away from their old IPs unless they think they can bring the same level of finesse and mass appeal to them that they've brought to Souls. Can you imagine if they put out a game like ST:A or AC:LR today? They'd be absolutely savaged for it.

I think it was a bit out of touch to invoke Ideon so he can remove niggers as Cosmo put it

FromSage how can I complete the underground shrine in Evergrace if I have no fire or ice magic?

You're stupid

Come to /sci/ and ask why

Some people care more about context some more about gameplay.
You could design game which would 100% replicated CoD gameplay and lack any CoD context, however most people don't play those games for gameplay, but for context.
Same with tanks. This is why 2 largest tank games focus on real tanks, despite having differnt gameplay.

Another thing is that in some game context is more in tune with gameplay than in other. While CoD not very realistc, even with its arcade-y gameplay there is some degree of authenticity.

Imagine a WW2 game, which in terms of context is as generic as it can get, but instead of arcade-y portay of real life combat, you get to rocket jump and punch tanks Halo-style. If someone enjoys this game, I think it is safe to assume they don't care about context of WW2 and it could easily be changed to something else.

Going back to jap mech games, when I see game which has a context of mechs, but gameplay has nothing to do with mechs, it is easy to see what actually matters.

>Mechwarrior 5 which I haven't played but heard was good
kys

Kys what? Kys Greed Sever?

i played mw5 through the first 2 patches and its very bad. bugs, bad performance, everything designed as minimal as possible. enemies endlessly spawn on top of you like its an arcade game instead of a simulator. compare this with 2 where in the first missions you can explore some and can come up from behind on mechs that are still powered down, and each mission having clear objectives like getting to nav alpha, investigating something.

5 is a turd i'm not even sure modders will be able to fix due to the overall game design of spawning shit on top of you

Not him, a guy already made a mod that makes enemies spawn further away and others are working on weapon rebalance mods and the like. It is like throwing pales of water on a rampaging fire but at least it has begun. Maybe in 3-5 years there will be a comprehensive mod that makes it not suck but I have doubts too. They've said they'll release mod tools and etc but pretty much every dev says that these days and then about 5% seem to follow through on that claim so all we can do is wait and see whether or not they do that, and then if someone has the perfect mix of talent and autism to fix the shitfest that is mechwarrior 5.

Attached: LOLI.jpg (1163x764, 135K)

i'll keep some hope for mods but i think the game is designed to badly to be fixed. at its core its an arcadey game designed around infinite spawns. there is no thought out levels where you prep properly for the drop and battle

Yeah I agree the chances of them turning it into something worthwhile are pretty low but you can never tell with things like this. Certainly won't be on the edge of my seat in anticipation but I'm sure in a few years I'll remember that mechwarrior 5 exists and check out that mod page again.

Souls is some of the most jank stuff from has ever made. I honestly cannot understand where you're coming from. And LR being ripped into would most likely be due to the steep learning curve more than anything. It's not a flawless game but it certainly isn't jank.

Dork Bowls killed Tenchu, not mecha. Daemon X Machina is/was alright. On PC. Switch was horrible.

Why do people shitpost so hard about Souls

All I want is a good multiplayer Gundam game that plays like the old Battlefront games. Team based multiplayer where you play as the grunts like Zakus or GMs, with hero unit's like the RX 78 or Char's Zaku.

>I love Armored Core, King's Field and Shadow Tower but they're all Jank as hell by comparison.
I can't think of any entry in those series that had something even remotely as aggravating as DS2's deadzone.
Even considering the early King's Field games, they're slow as hell, sure, but janky or jankier than DeS or DS2? No way.

The niche genre excuse is a terrible reason to buy a turd. MHW is apparently in a niche genre and that sold like hotcakes in comparison.
I wanted so badly for Mechwarrior 5 to be good, Mechwarrior 3 was my childhood. Thanks to Mr. Sweeney buying the timed exclusivity deal, I was able to save money that I otherwise might have spent. The biggest red flag was the shitty ragdoll they showed off in the launch trailer, it looked so bad.
youtu.be/sDtVSX3I-Y4?t=29
So fucking bad.
Daemon x Machina was something I got because I was extremely bored and I regret it. It's too fucking braindead easy. The mech customization matters fuck all when the content is so devoid of challenge. Yes, I've done the multiplayer bosses. You're a shitter if you think they're hard.

The genre deserves to stay dead if this is what devs are doing with it.

Ah the Castigator. The Father of Titans. Pity what happened to the titan.

do you complain about lightsabers too

Or, I have a better idea. Instead of shoveling garbage out, how about they take their time to create a polished game that isn't painfully average, or horrible? Maybe if the mech genre had a selection of good games to play thhat didn't come out like ten years ago, it wouldn't be dying.

Its so cliche and in a very bad way.
Meanwhile Astral Chain was a lot better with its cliches.

games aren’t good unless they’re switch exclusive

I'd like to see more big Mech RPGs. I still have a soft spot for Steambot Chronicles, and playing through GearHead right now reminded me of why I find big robots as a concept so charming. Having a personal, multi-purpose vehicle in a wild, untamed setting with a bunch of discovery is awesome.

>muh realism

I like the idea of an outer a lot and the game has some cool ideas but it's pretty mediocre otherwise. Parma flight and slow mechs is a bad combination, weapons don't feel balanced for the main mechanic of picking up weapons and parts in the field (can you even eject your weapons?), not being able to buy parts and the lower selection of parts/stats in general makes customization (The Main draw of these games) a drag.

And this is a pet peeve but pilots should never have been given canon faces. If you are gonna give them models as routers they should have gone full Souls and have them differentiated by their pilot suits and been forced into wearing helmets.

>The creators said it’s not mecha, so it’s not
And it's funny because they're retarded
Do you think Gone Home is revolutionary? The devs do so it must be true!
>much of a mecha game as call of duty is
What CoD lets you pilot a mech? I think there's a few that have a set piece here or there. Those set pieces are certainly mecha, but it'd be a stretch to call the whole game mecha.

Battlefield ain't mecha, 2142 sure was

Gameplay is somehow more shallow and repetitive than Damascus Gears while being even more grindy and not even half as satisfying, I dropped it after a couple of hours.
Might get back into it once I get bored of MHW, but honestly, it didn't really catch my attention and all the fucking talking really gets on my nerves, especially when I finish missions before those cardboard cutouts of characters are even done with their insanely long and boring chitchat.
Gargantua is based though.

>Mechwarrior 5 which I haven't played but heard was good

There's a few based characters. Shame that 7/8ths are fucking concentrated trash.

Game has some weird depth to it. Button inputs lead to different moves like a 360 barrage if you Left, right, with a full auto gun in each hand. The biggest problem is the stun locking = invulnerability. Kills bazookas and snipers as anti arsenal weapons which cuts the builds down super fucking hard

My biggest gripe with this is that it's the AC formula but evolved into the worst possible kind. They added story that no one cares about instead of fleshing out mission parameters.

2142 was very grounded and blended well with the ground units, as they got used as just a platform to carry an anti-infantry weapon and some weak anti-armor rockets.

Devs aren't willing to put in the work to take advantage of what makes mechs interesting and unique
If you're just going to have a shooter/action game where the character happens to be a humanoid vehicle the size of a house, then it's just an aesthetic that's simply less profitable than if you had chosen a more basic one
Even if you do try to take full advantage of the concept, doing a shit job or getting too bogged down in autism that doesn't directly translate into fun for the player could just end up with the game taking way more to develop with no payoff

The exploration missions really show what the game could've been if they gave they story missions proper level building. No dome arena for every few missions, occassional Outer areas where you need to open a door lock to let your Arsenal through (fucking 2 outer missions in the story mode otherwise), heat water and acid rooms give a base for making mission areas you need to actually navigate.

Unlike titan fall, even call of duty has mecha. But you’re focusing on the subject matter, when the comparison is about the gameplay, in which case titanfall is a 1:1 clone.

Titanfall is not mecha

Cause I can just fly an apache. Slapping that or a flak 38 on legs for the sake of realism is just lazy. I get it some dont like super fast anime robots. But hey, you can make a neat design and make em slow and hard hitting like the robots in Pacific Rim.

Which Armored Core should I be looking for in the PS2/3 bargain bin?

I've only played AC: Project Phantasm and AC 2.

People forget Mecha started as jets on legs as opposed to tanks on legs

Every AC3 entry, and AC4A

actually star wars started at nearly the same time and had big ass walkers acting more like tanks than jets. people seem to forget that star wars is the most popular mecha series in the west, though interest in it has dropped off a cliff because of the shitty new movies.

The focus of star wars isn't on mechs or anything mechanical, not even the spaceships. Its focus is on good knights vs evil wizards.

what about this one: store.steampowered.com/app/956680/MASS_Builder/
quite a few positive reviews , any of you fags played it?

why do you make tanks and planes if you got military drones that could end war in millisecond
why do you make soldiers and guns when you got continental missiles

Well I'm talking about....fuck I don't want to say modern because that shit is in the 80s
What I mean is, Jets are a better comparison for most of the genre.
Customizable strike packages on a mass produced frame
Pilots of legend with massive egos, coloring, and more to strut
Unparalleled maneuvering in their theater

Stuff like that

but for some reason a bunch of fans cant get over the ATATs and ATSTs

only releases on console even though consolebabbies don't care for the genre bring armored core to pc already you fucking hacks

your favorite movies are retarded. come to Yea Forums and ask why

your favourite everything is shit, fuck you, signed, Yea Forums.

Recommend me games related to robots and mechs/mechas.

Mechwarrior 3 and 4
Mechcommander 1 and 2
Mechwarrior Living Legends
Heavy Gear 2

AC3 continuity is great and a good starting point for anyone since it's a reboot. It includes
>Armored Core 3
>Armored Core Silent Line
>Armored Core Nexus
>Armored Core Last Raven
Problem with everything before Nexus is that there's no analog stick controls. If you emulate you can customize controls to make it like Nexus, which makes for a much better playing experience. Those games share one continuous storyline together and also have save game importing (though not SL > Nexus because of engine changes), and importing a save file for Last Raven is especially important because it's brutally difficult even by AC standards.

PS3 games reboot the series once again and share one continuity, but AC4 is so short it's practically a paid demo. AC:FA on the other hand is pretty good, though mech design wise they feel too samey since everyone's a quick-boosting fairy regardless of leg type and can use all weapons while moving, so that's a definitive downside. If there's anyone who played Daemon x Machina then AC:FA is very similar gameplay wise. ACV suffers from being short and having horrendous framerate problems on PS3, like 20FPS AVERAGE and it dips even lower during hectic combat sections. Also a retarded multiplayer focus and they went to exact opposite direction with mech building (leg types matter too much), which means if you're playing single-player you're forced to make an all-rounder. Never played AC:VD, but supposedly it *slightly* improved ACV's performance issues.
