I like Patlabor, but this looks fucking GHETTO.

 

[Puscifer]

I love Patlabor! Anyone reading this should watch Patlabor 2 - it deserves to be up there with Ghost in the Shell

We are so back.

I was so happy to see the announcement. It seems to be based on a short they released a few years back which was really good.

The game announcement on the other hand....meh

I loved the OVA's and the movies back in the day. But I don't think I have ever really bothered with the anime series, or the Manga it was all derived from. I mean, this does look interesting to me. I'll keep my eye on it.

Patlabor is rad, loved how they did the mech controls with the different modes for standard movement and different controls for fine finger movement to disarm bombs and shit. But this looks low budget low effort. And why couldn't it have manga or anime aesthetics instead of plain 90s cg like

 

[Ovek]

Looks jank as fuck. I'll add it to my wishlist.

Gundam detective game?

 

[Strider7]

I'm in! I love Patlabor!

 

[Agent_4Seven]

Looks like absolute shit and lowest effort possible. Patlabor IP deserves way better.

 

[ZehDon]

That Steam page is... not great.

Gundam detective game?

Looking at what is there, it just seems to recreate scenarios from the Patlabor series. Mostly from the Movies/ OVA series, it seems. No signs of any of the human characters from the series. It just seems to be various mech combat set pieces. Which could be interesting. What is here does not look like it's a high budget game. The ideal Patlabor game would be to have a mix of character driver detective story elements outside of the mechs and combat scenes inside of the mechs.

Man, I love the mech designs in Patlabor but this game looks like PS2 quality shit...

I'll still keep an eye on it though.
