Another Century's Episode R (PS3)

New screenshots!

The graphics look so much better! However, the one screenshot that really impressed me was that first Full Metal Panic one! Look at the surrounding buildings and explosions! And is that Zeta Gundam fighting a bunch of Zetas I see?

Super and Real are not genres, damn it.
¬_¬.

They're sub-genres. Why split hairs?

Edit: Hate to miss out on the story as I speak ZERO Japanese. But a PS3 ACE? Need it. (If only ACE would grow more popular than SRW...)

Super and Real aren't even sensible sub-genre names. (Anime production companies don't use them, for instance, to describe their work. Stuff like Gundam tends to be called an "SF Mecha" show.)

They're just terms Banpresto came up with to explain how certain unit stats work in SRW. They've also used them in SRW merchandising and spin-off games. They're still far more Banpresto terms than genre terms.

Especially since the things that distinguish "Supers" from "Reals" story-wise just break down completely once you get to shows like Macross 7 and Evangelion.

Evangelion, when you count it as a mecha, is Super Robot all the way. Macross in general, however....yeah, that can turn things on its head.

Evangelion's paramilitary plot is pretty much a parody of what Tomino did in the 80s, so there's a lot of story elements people tend to consider Real.

The situation pulls a lot from Super Robots circa Mazinger Z, but it also draws just as heavily from Ultraman.

Nice lineup!

I`ll definitely pick this up for Crossbone Gundam and Full Metal Panic units.

Suzaku on the player's team? I was hoping to kick his ass with Destiny Gundam.

And there are some who would wish for it to be the other way around.

It might have been possible to be on Lelouch's side. But now that the scans show Lancelot in action instead of Shinkirou, I guess it's highly likely or definate that the good guys will be on Suzaku's side. I would've liked them to be on Lelouch's side, especially since he's my favourite character, but if he will at least become an ally after initially being an enemy, then that would be great! That way, we'll see Lelouch and Suzaku fight together and probably have a team attack too! I could see that happening in the game! Plus, being on Suzaku's side would still be awesome! Come on, the Lancelot is one of my favourite Knightmare Frames in Code Geass!

Finally, I want to hear this dialogue between Lelouch and Suzaku while they're fighting as enemies:

Suzaku: Lelouuuuuuuch!

Lelouch: Suzakuuuuuuuuu!

That'll be awesome and it'll remind me of the last episode of the first season or whatever episode it came from. Unless my mind is making it up, but it would still be awesome to hear that! I guess we'll be playing as Suzaku in that part if we wanted to control one of them, otherwise it'll happen in the backgound. Now I'm really anticipating about Code Geass' characters and events in this game! I'm so excited! Of course, I'm looking forward to the other series as well, including the Banpresto originals, if they're hopefully going to be included!

Sorry for the double post, but the PV came out today!

Awesomeness! Really epic! This made my day and I can’t wait till the game comes out! I love the song, although I like the website’s music better, which I hope will also be in the game! I just hope that the game’s version of the opening will have voices in them like in ACE 2, but if it will be the same, then I won’t mind. The opening is awesome enough as it is!
