See, I've always thought that a RT MMO would work great during the Invid occupation of Earth. Ruined cities, caches of RT weapons and mecha, needing to find or steal protoculture to fuel your weapons and such. Raids on Invid hives...etc.

Or...maybe during the construction period of the SDF-2...Zentraedi malcontents raiding towns and villages, RDF fighting them off....terrorist factions, etc.

The wealth of material is pretty staggering.

Maybe the Mecha fighting system could handle a bit like vehicles in SW: Battlefront 2. I thought those vehicles handled very well, including the fighters. Twitch combat in vehicles, with skill modifiers....maybe even based off the Palladium RPG system.

The potential is there...but no one will likely ever take advantage of it.

What a shame

I grew up watching Robotech and still love it dearly. It's actually the only anime series I've ever been interested in. A Robotech MMO would be something I'd jump into for sure.

Macross, on the other hand, is foreign to me and I have no interest in it whatsoever. I probably wouldn't even give a Macross MMO a first glance, to be honest.

There is a console game called "Robotech Battlecry" that is pretty decent. IMHO, it gives a very good feel of what mecha combat could be like, everything from transforming in combat to shooting down missiles with your gunpod.

There is also a Third Generation game (Invid Invasion era), I forgot the name though. I only played a few hours of it.

what's the difference with this two? hmm, if i remember it correctly, i like macross better.. this would be a good mmo, as mech types of games have a good number of fans..

Macross would definitly be better then robotech IMO, just because macross is the TRUE version of the story not the basterdized version. And the fact that they are still making Macross series now!!! Macross Frontiers anyone? A HUGE amount of content is available in the macross series not only in the original series but all the other series as well, except for macross II which according to the official timeline never happend (thank god!!) but if they do one in the macross frontiers series where they are in space fighting a completely alien species, then the sky and the imagination is the limit, but I agree with all of you though....that I dont think Harmony Gold or the Japanese company that owns the macross title will ever see the value in making an MMO of the either series, despite the fact of the millions of fans that would play it faithfully if done even semi-correctly.

Hmmm.... A big robot MMO.

Sounds good.

I'll put that down on my mmo wish list along with horror, western and cyberpunk mmos.
