Recommended Posts

BUZZARD @ June 28 2004,12:02)]Only with Heavy Gear 1 did I understand the usefulness of having hands on a mech. I mean,

Hmm I remember doing that a few times...of course whats more fun then having your Gear's leg get shot off and limping with just 1 leg or none!!!

Yes Battlezone was very fun.  But I never seemed to finish the game cus it was hard as hell!!!  BZ2 was just well...not as good. TAG gun/cannon forever!!!

Sorry, but the FLASH cannon takes the prize...

And since I hadn't any pictures I had to reinstall BattleZone and make some, didn't I? tounge_o.giftounge_o.giftounge_o.gif

Oh, and this is my idea of a splinter cell...

Ah, the good old times...  biggrin_o.gif

Edit: Heck, that 60's-era-like-Walker should also be possible to have in OFP... I remember that even its walking animation was kinda funny/weird... but sure would be cool to have in OFP!!! biggrin_o.gif

Well don't see why not seeing I have a bunch of Veritecs on the hd I tend to run around in OFP.. funny walking animations, but they do walk, you drive them like mechs. as the seem to use APC class.

Gundam Wing was too melodramatic for my liking. I want to see giant robots kicking the tar out of stuff/each other, not thirty minutes of bad anime melodrama punctuated by a couple of shots of a load of blips moving nearer each other on a starry backdrop.

If someone could point me towards some more action-packed stompy robot anime, I might put my copy of Lone Wolf and Cub vol. 3 down for a bit. Hang on, I think I have some of my old Transformers videos in the attic from when I was little. Yay! biggrin_o.gif

Huh? rock.gif

Never heard of gundam.

IMO nothing beats good ol' Transformers with Optimus Prime and Megatron as the leaders, not the Japanese crap that came afterwards.

this just made me giggle... Japanese animé kicks america's cartoons right in the crotch, mainly because animé is also aimed at an older group of people. wink_o.gif

... think i overdid it? smile_o.gifbiggrin_o.gif

The LEV (dunno what it stands for, Land Engagement Vehicle?) can be used both in space and on land, in space, loadouts consists of only a laser rifle

weapons consists of about 20 (!) smoke packs stocked in both shoulders (round things) , and can be ejected in forward direction, after 40 metres it will explode and engulf an area around five times the size of the LEV with smoke. it also has a rifle offcourse, and jetpack to fly for short ends. or hover over rough terrain

I'll seem most of these and got most of them too on VHS or DVD, plus a few in Hardcopy.

But the best I've seem is Masamune Shirow's Appleseed (first book published 1985) and Ghost in a Shell.

There is some large Mech's, but far and few. Most mechs (GUGES) are about 1.5-2.5x the size of a man, and the large ones are of the size of a building.

As you can see there is a large number of mech. and weapons.

Enough of the pretty little anime photos.  tounge_o.gif

I think it would benefit more to find out how you would go about bringing these mechs in, where to find scripts to have leg movement (Either the new WANZERs or the Robotech vehicle) and other things.

I would get in touch with experienced modders and question such things as taking a normal sized infantry model, increasing its size to reflect a mech are possible.

Using a player oblem is this giant mech will try to walk like a person 1 x 10th its size because of the engine. Perfect example is the PC APU units how they shuffle and amle about because a person is half their size. The Veritecs seem to be ther better mode of animation a vehicle mech unit, you have to drive them and they actually walk or run, just the leg animation was buggered but was a great idea. sort of like a guy riding a unicycle walkig animation hide its acting like a tank.

Well, one of the best "mech" addons there is is the "Mini-Gears"... although small in proportion to their "real" size, they are well done (don't mind them not being 100% "together"...)...

Nevermind, found them...

The best mech's in my eyes are still those wanzers, the kick ass. Too bad we don't have some good adversaries for them...
