I fucking want so hard. Also I love how the different modes are good for different things, and how different ability to maneuver means rapid switching while flying around is actually a good idea.
tbh as a ps2 game.. I'm actually surprised of how good the graphics is. it's like metal gear solid 2 type of graphics.. and I thought it's just a ps3 game
I have this game, bugs aside (and there are a lot of ways to accidentally exit/fall out of the map), it was everything I was looking for in a Robotech game. Now, I would just about do anything for a proper Macross/Robotech MMORPG
It's MUCH better than either of the VFX games. Those were horrible! I had the first one and couldn't believe how crappy it was. Poor controls, bad level design, junky MIDI music instead of CD-quality red audio. The PS2 game is by far the best Macross game based on the TV show or Movie anybody's released on console. It's better than the sidescroller they released on the Sega Saturn and PS1. That game was inferior to the SNES/SFC Scramble Valkyrie sidescroller! The Saturn/PS1 game was nowhere near what the 32-bit consoles were capable of.
Justin Jacobs I don’t know if this is relevant or not, but I read on the internet about Harmony Gold and Macross, and what caught my eye is that Harmony Gold’s rights to Macross would expire in 2021 due to being found partially/fully breaching the original contract with Tatsunoko. I don't know if this would have an effect on the franchise’s future but lets not get our hopes up too soon. That information for the above paragraph is according to this link: tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Anime/Robotech
You would STILL have to deal with Tatsunoko for the international rights to the original SDF Macross and Tatsunoko is NOT exactly on speaking terms with Big West which controls the rights to the rest of the Macross franchise in Japan. Tatsunoko's rights only apply to the ORIGINAL 1982 Macross TV series which they were a co-production/co-financier partner on. The young studio they partnered with, Studio Nue, foolishly DIDN'T include a clause in their agreement/contract/promisory note with Tatsunoko that the older, established company (Tatsunoko) WOULDN'T have the SDF Macross international distribution rights past so many years so in Japan court it was established Tatsunoko has PERMANENT international distribution for the original Japanese Macross TV series. It's screwed up but that's how it worked out in the 1990s when Big West (the financial backer of Studio Nue) took Tatsunoko to court. Of course, Tatsunoko took advantage of the situation! It enabled them to sell other shows to HG that DIDN'T do as well... Tatsunoko has made more money off of Southern Cross and Mospeada being PART of Robotech than they ever did when those series originally aired in Japan! Note that this DOES NOT mean Tatsunoko has rights to any other Macross properties including the 1984 feature film, Flashback 2012, or ANY Of the sequel shows from Macross II onwards. The rights to all other Macross animated properties and spin-offs still belong to Big West/Studio Nue.

+Logan Parrish Well, there's not many ways to go about making a Macross game, so of course they're similar. I really prefer this one though, it's a bit more complex and intricate, allowing more freedom. Also not stupidly hard for dumb reasons...
I can't say the controls are the same, though both are fun experiences. Personally I think this is the superior game, even though I did like the original characters from Battlecry quite a bit
And in here i don't know how i can beat this game even though i can't speak English back in that time (i also don't know what is Japanese either...) XD
How playable is this game for someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese? I mean, is it hard to understand what you're supposed to do in each level, or is it just a case of shooting everything that moves?
It's pretty easy, the menus are even in English. It's basically just shooting everything in sight, though a few extra objectives sneak in in some missions. I failed those once or twice, but it's easy to catch on to what you have to do.
I would love to see this remastered on the PS4.
I agree
Sega/AM2 did a superb job with this game.
I fucking want so hard. Also I love how the different modes are good for different things, and how different ability to maneuver means rapid switching while flying around is actually a good idea.
I love that they show the macross failing to take off with the anti-gravity pods tearing away from the ship, just like the show!
Ace Combat: UN Spacy.
A Valkyrie Fighter in AC7 would be loaded with ADMM missiles, but it can't change forms.
minus a cockpit camera
I’d rather have a licenced DCS: VF-1S Valkyrie with all the bells and whistles
Coming here after watching Another Century's Episode Opening. I love the Valkryie's design so much
I love those openings, awesome games. The fighter designs have always been so fascinating, always some of my favorites.
tbh as a ps2 game.. I'm actually surprised of how good the graphics is. it's like metal gear solid 2 type of graphics.. and I thought it's just a ps3 game
I think it's an emulator that's why it looks great
@@snoopyodig1137 nope, it looks great on console aswell
i just wish they make a new macross game base on this game as base, with new graphic and hard difficult. and multi play, it will be a big hit!!!
or a new vfx game
Dam nice graphic way better then robotech game on ps2 fing Harmony Gold
i just cant get enough of this .
For a while I thought of robotech battlecry type of vibe to it but much better. Would love to play this game though lol.
This game is fantastic
Adoro el sonido del arma principal del robot parece un cañón vulcan es como una gatling pero gigantesco 5000 disparos por minuto.
That game so awesome, it's that for pC ,or ps 4,,😀☺️
Sega makes the best mech games
Nice run. You punished that officer's battle pod.
If you liked this, you are gonna love Macross VOXP same thing but for PC and is kinda MMORPG.
Yeah, I actually have a video of it from years ago...
5:13 Surprise Marauder.
Gotta luv those sound effects, soo Japanese!
I have this game, bugs aside (and there are a lot of ways to accidentally exit/fall out of the map), it was everything I was looking for in a Robotech game. Now, I would just about do anything for a proper Macross/Robotech MMORPG
this looks dope
Love this game ,hope they made one for Android
For you, this is one of the best Macross games of all time??? if not, which games woud be???
I think this one is really good. Macross Triangle Frontier is my favorite, though.
Reminds me to Omega Boost ❤️😍
This one plays similarly to Macross VFX or VFX-2
It's MUCH better than either of the VFX games.
Those were horrible!
I had the first one and couldn't believe how crappy it was. Poor controls, bad level design, junky MIDI music instead of CD-quality red audio.

AvengerII Also try the PSP games if you play portables. Most content of any Macross games and are what the PS1 games were trying to be but done right.
America just doesn't get enough Macross love.
We're legally not allowed to. Harmony Gold owns the distribution rights and are sitting on them.

I want a Ray Traced, new version on pc. =) With today's graphics this game play would still be incredible.
how tf is there not a remaster of this with smoother controls and better graphics....
This reminds me of Robotech Battlecry, the movement and scenario... looks to be the same controls too.
Though the graphics are so much better
+Logan Parrish Well, there's not many ways to go about making a Macross game, so of course they're similar. I really prefer this one though, it's a bit more complex and intricate, allowing more freedom. Also not stupidly hard for dumb reasons...
I hear you there.
They're both hella fun though. Its like "Do I wanna watch SDF:Macross or Robotech: TMS"? Either is a good way to pass the time.
I can't say the controls are the same, though both are fun experiences. Personally I think this is the superior game, even though I did like the original characters from Battlecry quite a bit
And in here i don't know how i can beat this game even though i can't speak English back in that time (i also don't know what is Japanese either...)
XD
There is one more game on Dreamcast....
Sega AM2 macross ?
i guess i need to find this game ;)
How playable is this game for someone who doesn't read or speak Japanese? I mean, is it hard to understand what you're supposed to do in each level, or is it just a case of shooting everything that moves?
It's pretty easy, the menus are even in English. It's basically just shooting everything in sight, though a few extra objectives sneak in in some missions. I failed those once or twice, but it's easy to catch on to what you have to do.
***** Thanks for the reply. :)
Would love to see this on mobile
This first mission is really fun. I can't seem to get past phase 2 of the 2nd mission. Any tips?
Nevermind. TO end the mission, you must land on the SDF-1. Great video BTW!
...and yikes...not even an S-Rank. LOL!
I never got to play this. What platform was it on?
Ps: I don't speak very much Japanese either
It's on PS2, only had a Japanese release.
@@IndigoMecha dang!
Donde puedo descargar este juego para emularlo en pc?, gracias.
Robotech: Battlecry would’ve looked so much better like this...
Alguien sabe como sacar las demás Valkyrie????
I wanna' know RIGHT NOW, why this isn't in the US market!?!?

Short answer is Harmony Gold
Is this on Steam?
