Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
If there was any other reason to say "Eff Harmony Gold", because of no DYRL DLC overseas (and their obvious BS licensing shenanigans involving the original Macross), then this would be it.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
I've been saying "Eff Harmony Gold" for years. Decades, even.

Did Minmay get snapped by Thanos or something? "Hikaru, I don't feel so good!"

I love Macross but, ugh, 'songstress'. Get. In. The. Fucking. Sea.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Got an email from Play-Asia saying the Japanese PS5 Physical will not have English support.
Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Aw man... But I can still play it on my PS5, though, right?

All modern consoles are region-free.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Thank God. I hope language barriers won't make this hard to play.
Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
I'd imagine this is mostly going to effect story / cutscenes the most. I'm curious if someone like LRG picks up the English version for a physical which I'd assume will be missing content due to all the crazy license stuff.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Mmm this isn’t getting a western release if Harmony Gold’s track record is any indication.

Umm...Yes it is, Harmony Gold lowered their stance across later Macross stuff lately (like Delta and 7) and is letting them license it stateside, the exceptions are the main 3 that formed Robotech (Macross, Southern Cross, Mospeda) and DYRL (Do You Remember Love).ExitPlanetDust wrote: ↑Wed Feb 21, 2024 5:55 am Mmm this isn’t getting a western release if Harmony Gold’s track record is any indication.
There's even an official English site for it too. (-> https://macross-si.bushiroadgames.com/en/) It wouldn't have a overseas release if they weren't bothering to make one, however, at the moment, the official site lists that the Steam version, for now, is releasing worldwide, but only with JP text (PS and Switch versions both physically and digitally in JP for now). Additional languages and a global release will be mentioned at a later date.
Sadly, however, the Macross DYRL side of the story (or its characters, rather [Hikaru Ichijo/Rick Hunter and Lynn Minmay]) is JP only and as DLC. (Presumably as to get around dealing with Harmony Gold's nonsense.)

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
There's just one thing that bothers me about this game, aside from removing Lynn Minmay... Where's Leon Sakaki, Aisha Blanchette, and Mina Forte? From Macross 30?

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Thank god for region-free systems and translation apps. Will be picking up the import for sure.

Thank you for sharing! The teaser looks intriguing, especially with Kaminari's involvement. Can't wait to see more gameplay and learn about the mechanics.Blue WhatsApp Download

I stumbled upon a 10 minute uncut gameplay video this afternoon from TGS23.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
I also stumbled onto that same video yesterday. Gameplay, enemy patterns, and design looks as generic and uninspired as I expected from anything published by Bushiroad, especially since they tried as much as possible to hide any gameplay in their own promo videos. Their previous publsihed Dragon Maid game didn't inspire any confidence either.

Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Well, it can't be Macross: SI without another delay...for the Steam version that is (despite it being counting down close to release today, doubtful it'll come out at all today). -> https://twitter.com/MACROSS_SI/status/1 ... 0554982523
The Google translation reads as this...
Apology and notice regarding delay in distribution of the Steam version of "Macross -Shooting Insight-"
Thank you very much for your continued patronage of our products.
``Macross -Shooting Insight-'', which is scheduled to start distribution on Steam from March 14, 2024, has been postponed due to some operational issues.
There is no impact on the release of the packaged version or download version for Nintendo Switch/PlayStation4/PlayStation5.
As soon as we have a plan for the start of distribution, we will promptly notify you on the "Macross -Shooting Insight-" official website and official X account.
We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused to everyone who has been looking forward to this product.
Otherwise, the console versions are ready to go. (That and their fumbling on not including the Weiss Schwarz promo card in the physical PS versions that you now have to make an order form to get it, that's if you own the physical PS versions, of course.)

EDIT: just saw the twitter post. Here is the form to fill out: https://form.bushiroad.com/form/macross_si-ws0314
Also Red Art Games announced a Western Physical today. Sounds like no DYRL content but has English text.

@Bear78
I typed my post too quickly, I meant to say promo card, not DLC. Post updated, and yeah, just ironically as the delay for the Steam version happens, Red Art Games comes with the save for bringing the game overseas.

All good, I might have misunderstood it also as I was using a translator app. I did fill out the form even though I'm in the US. Never know, might get it
Re: MACROSS Shooting Insight PS4/Switch/PC
Would love to see more gameplay of this
Not hyped until I see it in action!
