Post your favorites.
For me it's Assault Suits Valken and Omega Boost.

[Anonymous No.9974035]

Mech warrior 2 of course.

[Anonymous No.9974189]

Man, that's really excellent cover art

[Anonymous No.9974193]

Ranger-X

[Anonymous No.9974236]

Ranger-X is probably my favorite. Metal Warriors is a close second. They're very different though.

Trying to play gungriffon blaze. Is there something wrong with the bin/cue file most sites provide for it? When i burn it on a disk my ps2 only recognizes it as a dvd video and wont play it. Tried converting to ISO first too, same result.

[Anonymous No.9974332]

>>9974035
Which one?
Ghost Bear is my personal favorite

GB had such a cool aesthetic. The giant trees made me feel like I was in an AT-AT on Endor

How's the PS2 Votoms game?

BattleTech: The Crescent Hawk's Inception

Zone of the Enders: Fist of Mars.

[Anonymous No.9975076]

It's like an Assault Suits game except you can leave your mech and take another.

[Anonymous No.9975221]

>>9974031
front mission

[Anonymous No.9975225]

>>9975221
The way things are going these days if there was another front mission game made it'd be called back mission

[Anonymous No.9975234]

I really wish Geppy-X could get translated, but apparently it's a bitch to re-encode the videos
As it stands now, probably gotta say Zone of the Enders 2. One of the PS2 Armored Cores is probably gonna be up there by the time I get around to it (currently on Master of Arena, doing a full series run)

If it still gives you issues, I can try to rip my own copy in case it really is an issue with the BIN/CUE currently out there

This ever get a port?

[Anonymous No.9975568]

MC1. Pretty sure, I finished both the campaigns at least 4 times.
I'd really love to see MC3 one day. But with that new turn-based Battletech around, those are hollow hopes.

[Anonymous No.9975768]

>>9975234
Thanks, that worked

[Anonymous No.9976098]

The first Heavy Gear for me hits all the right spots
>mecha
>piloted like a vehicle, still agile but not a FPS
>systems like radar, targeting and parts damage
>cool story with cheesy real actors FMV
>great missions which are not just "shoot everything"
>dynamic campaign mode

Many of the PSX releases you get on various ROM sites are optimized for emulator use these days. Some even come with mp3s instead of a cue/bin. Get all your PSX games from archive.org in the future.

can you play this on modern pcs?

Elder Multidimensional Cosmic God taste. This and Heavy Gear 2 are the closest I ever found to my ideal mech game.

[Anonymous No.9977575]

>>9977324
We have good taste compared to the rest of the mecha fanbase.

[Anonymous No.9977579]

>>9974031
So far Front Mission: Gun Hazard and Heavy Gear 2 are peak mecha goodness imo. Also love Starsiege, MechWarrior 2 Mercs, Armored Core (Silent Line or Last Raven), Virtual-On, and of course Assault Suit Valken.
>>9977317
It's kind of a crapshoot. You could try these repacks from plebbit. HG1s kinda baffling since HG1 did have a no-CD crack, as such you'll either need a crack or an image mounter. You may have to fiddle with dgVoodoo to get it to work with your PC on top of that. HG2 surprisingly is more out of the box then it used to be, but again you'll need to fiddle with dgVoodoo or may even need DxWnd.

There was a good repack for HG2, but I don't think it's the one from plebbit. I got it from here and it's the only one that works fine for me.
For HG1 if you get the latest version of dgvoodoo it runs just fine, the new versions of the wrapper are a massive improvement. Go on pcgamingwiki and you can even play in widescreen.

Battle Clash and Metal Combat.

[Anonymous No.9980728]

>>9975076
I like Metal Warriors but something always felt slightly jank about it. It wasn't as tight as AS Valken is. Still a really cool game and it's multiplayer is fun as fuck.

[Anonymous No.9980758]

>>9980728
Isn't metal warriors a western game?

[Anonymous No.9980765]

>>9980758
I guess that could be part of the reason. Leynos feels worse than both Valken and Metal Warriors and that was japanese developed. It's not even that Metal Warriors plays poorly, maybe it's just from how godly Valken and Gun Hazard play.

[Anonymous No.9980890]

I need to know more games like this (and its lobotomized sequel) that aren't CyberStorm (2)

[Anonymous No.9980895]

>>9980890
Best I can think of is maybe Front Mission Alternate. If you can do RTS over RTT then Total Annihilation and Metal Fatigue are worth checking out.

[Anonymous No.9980903]

>>9980895
>Total Annihilation
It used to be my (and my dad's) fave RTS thanks to how many free downloadable user-made addons it had.

[Anonymous No.9981371]

>>9974758
Played it for about an hour and thought it was boring

[Anonymous No.9981389]

There are sequels for Valken and Leynos, if you're so interested.

Valken 2 is an SRPG for the Playstation 1. The MC from Valken (Jake Brain) joins your group near the end.
Leynos 2 is an action game for the Sega Saturn. It plays a lot like Valken, but has way more weapons. It's rather short, only 7 stages. And the final stage is just the final boss.
As a bonus, you can play as the Valken.

[Anonymous No.9981452]

>>9980765
Kinda, Valken and GunHazard each area/mission are straight and to the point. Metal Warriors has a wide maze like areas where you switch between robots. All the robots have a purpose in progression and in the wrong places you will hate the robot you got. It is much more puzzle like and the story has a low emphasis. Also 1 on 1.

In my opinion they spent less time and cart space on story and character development and spent some on pvp and relatively complex levels.

I think Metal Warriors is the better of the 3 mentioned, 4 player and larger maps would have been beyond awesome.

Metal Fatigue

[Anonymous No.9982984]

>>9974929
It was interesting that you could pirate and play the whole thing, but the copy protection only appeared right at the very end to stop you from seeing the ending. Quite the "fuck you" from the devs

[Anonymous No.9982990]

I actually quite like Steambot Chronicles.

[Anonymous No.9983989]

What are some good ones on Gamecube aside from Chibi and Custom Robo

[Anonymous No.9984003]

Has anybody set up Heavy Gear 2 on Linux? It's the only game stuck on my Windows partition.

[Anonymous No.9984158]

>>9984003
HG2 iirc had a native linux port but that port was designed with ancient linux distros in mind, specifically old red hat I think. You could try that but it would probably be easier to use wine/proton.

Gundam VS Zeta Gundam is for the PS2 while also having a Jap only GC version.

Literally peak Mechwarrior

>>9980638
The Super Scope in general was very /m/-centric.

[Anonymous No.9986678]

>>9984414
Yeah, kinda hard to argue against, the other games came real close.
MW3 is far more immersive
MW4 Mercs probably has the most content of any retro MechWarrior
And MW2 Mercs is just a blast to play.
But those above games had issues like bugs, I don't see that with 31stCC.

[Anonymous No.9986689]

Front Mission Gun Hazard too.

I've had SOME success getting the windows version to run via wine/proton but it's really clunky. You need a preexisting install, 32 bit prefix and to set up the whole thing with win98 compatibility mode because otherwise it refuses to start because it fails to initialize direct x 6.1, plus something else I've forgotten to write down. But most inputs refuse to work, it crashes a ton, main menu strings are fucked. Doesn't feel too playable
The native linux port might be a better option but I'm honestly not sure how to go about it. Asgard exists but it doesn't seem to be of help, as I can't get the necessary files.
