Re: The next Kojima Productions project

That "Raiden" (as people keep calling it) actually might be a Snatcher. The exposed metal jaw and teeth along with what appears to be a barcode and other cybernetic decals on his forehead really hint towards it, in my opinion. Of course, who knows - maybe it's an entirely new production wi...

Re: The next Kojima Productions project

I'm glad I'm not the only one here hoping for a new Snatcher game. Along with Policenauts, it's been well overdue for a sequel.

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

It's almost as if 00 and unicorn had decided on a colour coding scheme or something for their fairy dust plot device More likely, I think both production teams simply took a cue from the older UC animations. With regards to the full armor, would it even be possible to attach extra armor onto it con...

Re: Gundam Seed/ Destiny One Shot Kills

Actually, I sort of see where the OP is coming from. Specifically with Wing and SEED, the use of stock footage makes grunts seem more efficient (and stupid) than they should be. For instance, while there were a lot of one-shot kills in MSG, most of them were tough to earn. Often times we see one mob...

Re: Do N-jammers stop fusion reactions?

To my knowledge, the N-Jammer's radar hindering ability was only mentioned a few times in the original SEED. The effect is also very incosistent throughout the animation, so it's possible that the radio-jamming is much more limited than its primary purpose.

Re: How to defeat the Moonlight Butterfly?

To defeat? Why am I thinking that it's like trying to defeat a bomb or something from exploding. It's like asking, "How to defeat an exploding bomb?". My point exactly. Defeat is the wrong term to use here, since it's a matter of prevention and survival. It's almost like asking what could...

Re: How to defeat the Moonlight Butterfly?

Maybe a Psycoframe Overload could counter the Moonlight Butterfly because it creates "unknown psychic phenomena," but we can't really be sure about that. That's the case... in Gundam Musou. But realistically, what do you mean by "defeat" the Moonlight Butterfly? That's almost li...

Re: Logic Behind the Evolution of UC MS technology

HalfDemonInuyasha wrote:The Psycoframe disappeared after CCA. (Don't even know how it came to be either, lol.)
Actually, it got upgraded in the Unicorn novels to the Full Psycoframe. Probably a decrease in number of known Newtypes resulted in the obscurity of Psycommu-esque systems in the latter UC timeline.

Re: The success of the size reduction = speed = dodge

Staying in the air isn't that big of a deal since even the RX-78 could stay floating long enough to appear as though it were flying. In Zeta and ZZ, we see both the Mk II and Hyaku Shiki are also capable of limited "flight", despite not actually having jet engines. The use of sleds, beyond...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

Personally, I always felt that at the end of Double Zeta, the Kamille we say running around with Fa was some other guy than the Kamille we knew. His body had recovered, but the Kamille we knew was eternally lost. This is going to be dragged off-topic, but what? Kamille was the same person in ZZ as ...

Re: Did EVA do something to you?

Eva didn't do much for me at all. While I did enjoy the first half of the series as a mecha anime, it hardly had the psychological impact most people claimed it did. In fact, I found that near the end I simply hated Shinji too much to even think about anything else. And frankly, I hated the ending b...

Re: So I finished Zeta Gundam.

The bit where Fa looks into the cockpit and it zooms in on Kamille and he's motionless, then it cuts to a different angle and Kamille is moving around and babbling about stars and how he can't get out. The Fa is like "Kamille is..". I took that the different angle of Kamille being trapped...

Re: The Official Gundam Unicorn Anime Thread Mk I

Assuming that they decide on a format that gives them space for cameos anyway (and is anyone else fearful of a F91 style-fudging of the story into a movie?) one wonders what they'd do about a Captain Bright appearance :cry: It doesn't look like it's going to be a movie at this point, although who k...

Re: The Hi-Zack

Well, for us viewers, the Titans were using the more 'evil-looking' Zeon-inspired designs because that made them more identifiable as the enemy. The Rick Dias and Dijeh (and the Zeta Zaku) would disagree with that statement. While it's definitely true that it's usually the bad guys who end up using...

Re: Zeta Gundam TV and Movies

I was never under the impression that people disliked the trilogy, but moreso that it didn't live up to the series. I'd certainly watch the original run over the movies any day, but I still enjoyed them for the new animation. For the most part however, I wouldn't ever recommend the movies on their o...

You know, I think ranting about 0081 would belong in the game thread more than here, since it's largely irrelevant to Unicorn. Besides, you shouldn't criticize the game as a "waste of talent" when it hasn't even come out yet. Frankly, there are a lot of video games with excellent productio...

Re: AHHHH THEY'RE GONNA KILL US ALL!

I remember coming across a video of the "Big Dog" quite a while back, and when I first saw the Gekkos in MGS4, I had always assumed this thing possibly inspired their designs.
