Its just Square artificially extending the life of a finished series.Įven so, I know many fans are up in arms about how they changed the gameplay in this one in particular and think that's why this game failed but that isn't true. Because basically none of the original team that we have nostalgia over worked on these games. Which is why we got stinkers like LEFT ALIVE and EVOLVED. With the story done the original Front Mission team disbanded and scattered to the wind. Interviews online by the creators even openly talk about how 5 is the last game, period, they didn't intend to make any more. Think much like Metal Gear Solid 4 is to that series. With 5 being the ultimate bow on the gift that wraps everything up. The thing is though, Front Mission didn't die, it was finished.įM1-5 all tell a cohesive narrative that builds on one another. Originally posted by the sentry Robin CL:i like the saga on play 2.please square. I guess it was folly to do so in this discussion. Or are on consoles only, like with anything gundam.Īnyway, I'm not arguing with you guys, I just expressed that I wanted a piloting japanese mecha game. Or are indie which is hard to do, Dual Gear is still in development after all these years, and even it is not completely turn based. Thing is most mecha games that get made nowadays are either disastrously confused in their own design, or in niche genres like runner or shmup or whatnot. That being said, I completely agree that we need more mecha games. This should have been a spin-off that came right after a mainstay continuation of TBS series, as a thought. The game is badly made, but not because they were trying to make a Third Person game, rather because they did so haphazardly, while ignoring the main TBS fanbase. It was a massive failure because of mismanagement and confused design and goals. This is of course all for not as with Square, anything that fails financially that isn't Final Fantasy gets warehoused away never to see the light of day.

Front Mission is a strategy series in the mecha genre, and currently nobody is even bothering with that which is all the more reason another traditional Front Mission game needs to be done, or at least a remaster of the previous games released on all platforms.

It's not widely touched upon, and the ones that do tend to be mediocre or just bad. What we need isn't Front Mission in third person, we just need more mecha games.
I'm not sure if you noticed, but this game did go in that direction, and it was a massive failure. Yes, it would be so terrible if we have some variety in gaming, call square to make front mission like the other games instead.

That being said, I really, really want more open ended Japanese style mech game, with direct piloting, maybe open missions with commanding your squad of mechs, combined warfare with tanks and infantry, meta progression with mid-mission salvaging and customization - and so on.Īnd also, don't get me wrong, if there was an HD remaster, hell, even ports of the old games on PC - I would buy that in a flash, I'm with you on that, hands down. Recent MechWarrior 5 with it's stellar return to form with the new DLC that fixed most of the problems scratched the itch quite well, I'm sinking dozens of hours into it without end in sight. Originally posted by EgoJisto:While I completely understand the gripes of a diehard fanbase of a seemingly dead series (believe me, I've been/am there, depending on the franchise) - I really do want more action or direct control oriented mech games then tactics or strategy ones, and I'm saying that as an RTS zealot.
