I've been thinking (something that can be VERY dangerous, ha!) ...... what if the Robotech Dream came alive, on Revolution ?

Revolution might be the perfect system to revive the Dream. of Robotech. with Revolution's all but confirmed gyroscopic-sensory controls and heavily rumored 3D display capabilities of some kind.

can you imagine an awesome Robotech or Macross game on a system like this?


Robotech Ultra 64 Renders

man, this rendition of Robotech graphics, which are pre-rendered of course, would've been doable on Gamecube or Xbox for certain, at 60fps. those CGI images were drool-age 10 years ago and don't even look bad today.



lets not look back at the actual game that GameTek was making for Nintendo64 in 1996-1998. that was horrible. just forget about it.



with that said, imagine graphics even BETTER than those awesome renders
(Macrosshaded (tm) graphics) on Revolution, with Gameplay by EAD, graphics by Factor 5, with help from Namco, Sega, Konami and all the big guns. it would have to be a collaboration. no single company could pull it off the way it should be done. all ideas pooled together.

kind of like how Sony IBM Toshiba built the Cell, but this is for software, a game. a dream. a Robotech.

Yes, I fell for it too.

I cried with you, all those years ago, when the dream died

Was it a battlecry?

I am a huge fan of Macross, but christ those renders look like arse.

Who cares? How many honestly great games licensed off a movie, comic, book, manga or anime actually come out? Most suck balls, I'm sure this one wouldn't have been any different, had it been realized.

Let it go, man... let it go.

It would be pretty hard to top Super Dimensional Fortress Macross (the AM2 developed One). Fuck you harmony gold for preventing Sega from releasing it over here.

It was because of this very article (and several others preceding it) that I vowed to never give a shit about any new console until I see actual games running on it. Fuck all Revolution, 360, and PS3 hype. Show me real games or shut the fuck up.
