We need more mechs.

Someone with a capture card (or better searching skills than I) should get scrounge up some normal speed transformations for the various Skells. They have practical transformations for vehicle mode when you're not moving:
Makes me wanna fanboy over them like Lin did at the beginning of the game.
There are some pretty great mech missions in PSO2 when they come up as Urgent Quests.
The most recent one that launched this week has a very Zone of the Enders-esque 3D space battle in mechs as one of its variations.
The one before it involves taking on a giant Battleship Yamato (as in, the seafaring vessel) outfitted with lasers and teleportation technology everywhere. It's a very fun fight.

I've been wanting that for flight sim games for a while now, too. It's a hard sell with flight sims, I think, because the enthusiast crowd will reject it for not being "accurate" enough while everyone else will be too intimidated to try it. But I think with mech games, since "accuracy" is not an issue, there might be an audience. Or maybe that's just wishful thinking.
Seriously, though, a mech game with comparable depth to, say, Elite: Dangerous (which feels "simmy" but is still simple enough to be 100% playable on a gamepad) is like the holy grail.
Yeah, same. I just couldn't get into it at all, even though it ticked a lot of boxes for me. I really, really wanted to like it.
Let's bring a new VR version of this bad boy back too.
Man I don't know if any company is going to take a risk like that again. It'd be awesome if they did though.
We need
Armored Core VI
Power Rangers Battle for the Grid 2: now with zord combat
That fantasy mecha game Miyazaki wants to make
A gundam sim game

You can play the just released Super Robot Wars Original Generations fan translation for that.
Super Robot Wars Original Generations (PS2) English Translation Released News
Didn't see a thread on here but yeah... For the uninitiated, Super Robot Wars Original Generations is a remake of both Super Robot Wars Original Generation 1 + 2 that originally released on the Gameboy Advance. You might remember playing those because they were the only SRW games that ever...

Give me backwards compatibility at least, that's a true travesty
We need this franchise back, come on Microsoft just do it. Imagine the destructibility with today's hardware!
Square needs to revive Front Mission. That is all.
Oh and Microsoft needs to get a team on a new Mechcommander. Real-time isometric Battletech is the good shit.
But I'd still totally buy your wannabe Gundam fantasy if it came to PC with an uncapped framerate though FROM!

The Playstation 1 Armored Core series was by far my preference. My friends/brother and I used to have classic battles, then we'd watch the replays back. They had the right balance of clunkiness and maneuverability. The new Gundam style AC just isn't my groove. Project Phantasma was my shiiit.

We need more mech games that specifically feature super robots.
2021's about to have a bunch.
Rebuild of Evangelion 3.0+1.0
Hathaway's Flash
Getter Robo Arc
SSSS.Dynazenon
Pacific Rim: The Black
Yasuke
Godzilla: Singular Point (Jet Jaguar's going to be in it, totally counts)

Yep, that too, I'm surprised it wasn't BC on X1, 360 at least had the 2nd game BC(though it had problems).
You know what. We also need more positive mech games. Giant robot action is great but the endless dark, melodramatic and moody stuff is played ouut.
a game with the tone of the original Patlabor series would be ace
You had me in the first half, not gonna lie.
Zone of the Enders slaps. I do think it made everyone want to use too-fast-for-you type mechas, but the designs are great, the aesthetic is choice, and ZoE2 is wicked fun to play.
Lots of cool ones on the PlayStation as well. Pretty crazy PS2 RPG with loads of canon craziness. Rhythm game developed by Suda on the PSP.
Cyberbots sequel? Yes please. Another Tech Romancer? Do it.
Also, If From makes another AC game, I hope it doesn't play like a souls game.
MS bringing back Mech assault would be dope as well.

(Who owns this franchise?)
Activision iirc so it's probably dead.
I'm still holding out for a GOG port of this as it's a pain to get working on modern systems.

Chromehounds needs a sequel. It was such a good idea and extremely fun, possibly ahead of its time. If it came out today I think it would have had a much larger audience.
You get a fair dollop of that in the Super Robot bits of SRW.

"You ever have the dream where you're inside one and it's just transforming over and over and over?"
So this is where I wish for a sequel to the secret best Fromsoft game called Chromehounds? I can't believe it's been almost 11 years now since it got shut down. Going to sound extremely big-headed here but as someone who was in multiple top tier teams I've still to this day not had a better online experience with any game.
"You ever have the dream where you're inside one and it's just transforming over and over and over?"
I wish the combat in this game was actually action based and not MMO-ish/hybrid. I'd be so interested if that was the case.
I'll second the Sakura Wars (2019) mention. There's always Muv-Luv, not that I've got around to that myself yet.
Curious as to what you're referring to here
Thank you!
Though it could be argued that Transformers are more popular than Power Rangers, my initial point still stands.
Though that begs the question as to who would be the best developer for the property?
Battletech for me ran into the issue where very quickly the game turned into, "How many MLs and Jump Jets can I fit on the heaviest chassis I can find and max armor". I wanted to use different builds, but the game really suffers from a wonky power curve where the first 10 hours of a save are fun and then after you get established it's just the same old.
I'm going to echo my support for Phantom Brigade, I'm playing EA now and it's a blast! Devs are super responsive and their head gameplay designer has cited VOTOMs and FM as their direct inspirations to making the game/systems/feel.
Side note, I bought FM3 on my PS3 but never got around to playing it, would it be worth it to break it out to try it?
