Front Mission Evolved HD | Intro Cinematic

[@immortalass]

dont mind me, just a giant chunk of space debris floating right past the hideously expensive space elevator

[@curious5887]

Do you realize that space is big, meaning the chance of hitting one is low, especially in space based environments, and that the level of technology seen in the game, well, space debris recycling is pretty much a common place

[@Web_2567]

[@zefellowbud5970]

@@curious5887 ever heard of Kessler syndrome? Things in orbit aren’t just floating stationary up there. They are moving in orbital speeds, Even a tiny fragment of those debris that they miss will likely hit something and once something in orbit is hit well… domino

[@curious5887]

@zefellowbud5970 I know what's Kessler Syndrome, but from experience in ISS, and the setting of the game, it wouldn't be much of problem, since they already mastered spaceflight in that orbit, and would have fleet of space debris recycling satellite in orbit anyway

Imagine a crossover between front mission and armored core 4 answer. It will get nasty.

[@JackLack1516]

Maybe that could be a good idea, the Wanzers are the mass produce standard issue war machines while the Armored Core units are a expensive and elite unit that can be maintained and operated by elite and augmented pilots from PMC forces and special operation units from any factions here especially the Sword of Damocles.

+Matthew Sheehan Front Mission Evolved (or as me and my friends call it, Netcode Devolved. The netcode is really bad, even if you have a good and stable connection) plays more like a discount Mechassault with discount Armored Core customization.

[@ShadowclawIV]

They would have had good multiplayer, but they decided that tiny mechs should carry more than the big machines, what makes it worse about it is that there was never an update to fix that, (Failed by laziness)

We got lucky with the XCOM remake. Jake Solomon was a big fan of the original and did his best to capture that feel. Some hardcore fans did in fact not like the nu-XCOM. But that's what xenonauts was for.

[@SuperDarkSamurai1]

Enjoyed the gameplay and the customization, would have liked more to it.

[@casekocsk]

The fact that that city/facility where a space elevator is placed is guarded so lax means they don't deserve to have one, especially in a world constantly torn in war.

[@josh-oo]

Caseko CSK The world isn't constantly torn in war though. And it's not that the security was lax. The attack was too sudden and too precise. The security was mobilizing as quickly as possible, and even put up a decent fight for a while, but they were simply outmatched.

[@ls200076]

Joshua Caine no good security

[@casekocsk]

@@josh-oo No major war, but "border skirmishes become more frequent", meaning the world is not exactly peaceful... And the security IS lax... The facility is extremely important and the destruction could not only destroy surrounding areas, but also cripple economy and military power of entire country... For that kind of facility, it's not strange to put entire military complex there and security more than those guarding an aircraft carrier (or even more). So just several dozens of wanzers and attack choppers IS lax. And also stupid decisions by incompetent commanders (sending wanzers out when there are clearly hostiles wanzers around and not alerting entire base at once). It's not about the surprised attack or how many enemies...

[@josh-oo]

@@casekocsk There are no countries in Front Mission. There are "economic blocs". The UCS comprises all of the North American and South American continents.

that's deep homeland territory, not border skirmish. all the battle hardened troops and pilots are at the frontlines.

[@paonicgem]

FM wanzer vs AC raven on close quarters: while the wanzer is still swinging its melee, the raven already cuts off its head with the laser blade.

[@spinoo5393]

Weird comparison considering that Ravens are these high tech mechs that are really really fucking expensive but 90% of Wazners low quality but mass produced machines but go off I guess

[@Spaceman0720]

Bruh, wanzers are basically normals in Armored Core. Comparing these two machines is obviously one sided.

[@cossacktwofive4974]

I was expecting the 22nd century to be more "futuristic" but what I see is a 22nd Century that is seemingly stuck in the end of 20th Century-early 21st Century save for the wanzers, laser cannons and space elevator. And LOL at the Humvees.

[@cossacktwofive4974]

@Mamboi i guess the reason for Double Helix to switch to a third person mech game is to the fact... there arent really any mech shooter games out there in recent times, they are always games like cod and stuff..... the last mech shooter i ever saw was almost 11 years ago now... which is mech warrior, i gues this game is a breath of fresh air... at least its good to see mech shooters being revived

[@ChristopherTerry-le1fc]

am I the only one who thinks that underwater deployment vehicle would be cool as hell irl? just load up a pair of tanks 3-4 light vehicles like humvees and a dozen men and you have a underwater landing force that could travel up rivers to hit places marines or other assault forces couldn't in landing craft or helicopter undetected

[@floydwilliams2414]

Front mission 3 is the best!!

[@Beldgor]

The art seemed alright, but I wasn't interested in playing a real-time front mission game. Front mission games were great because they fused my love of giant robots with a really well done turn based strategic game. It was also a stones' throw from having a BattleTech title that did things turn based. Front Mission evolved? At first glance, it just felt like it was trying to fill Armored Core's shoes. I tried AC and wasn't a fan. It's too bad we're unlikely to ever see another good turn based FM game after FM5.

[@pokeng]

Their reason for this game was they were trying to capture the action scenes in the cutscenes where the mechs were sliding and shit.

It did. They got surprised attacked. Most of their forces went to the city when it was attacked. As for the wanzers and for the rest of their force, they wasn't ready for the attack at their base. Basic it happened so fast that they didn't have time get ready.

[@casekocsk]

@@GhostEchoX17 usually people wouldn't put such facility inside a big city... And when there are unknown hostiles wanzers rampaging so close, you won't commit so many attacking forces while neglecting your own defense... At the very least you will ALERT and ready your entire base.

Those were particle based laser systems, not a ‘True Laser’ as they had a travel time and weren’t instant. Also power generation on a wanzer is why you don’t see wanzer scale energy weapons, the giant thing in this that damaged the orbital elevator was a railgun I believe.
