Metal Gear Project

Post by Warzone_Fan »

Well as any action games fan i am
i do love the metal gears
and in reality they are tanks so
how about if we can make a Metal Gear Hangar and we can build some customized bipedal tanks
example : you know the REX legs? well that could be its chassis the gatling gun of Shagohod mixed in itand the cluster missile launcher from RAY
also some superpowerful versions of conventional weapons and of course a nuclear missile launcher that takes a lot of weight extreme splash damage and range
i know i might be asking to much but it would be awesome wont you think? or a mod with these units as final techs such as the dragon and the wyvern here's some photos of metal gear to those who dont know

This have been talked again and again. The closest project was this one i believe : viewtopic.php?f=33&t=3337

I see 3 major drawback to that idea :

A) Animation : if you want the legs to move, you'll need an animation. But afaik the actual animation mechanism is pretty obscur and limited.

B) Facecount : If you want anything that look as something else then an enormous bloke, you'll need to draw a lot of detail in the game. Master is improving it, but if we want slower computer to be able to run the game, the model will look lot less good then your images.

C) game mechanic gain is ZERO. You want 4 weapons on legs that act like cyborg but take 4 time more space, that will walk as fast as cyborgs and that will have 4 time more HP then an heavy cyborg and that cost 4 time as much and is 4 time longer to build... but from all we care about gameplay that's 4 heavy cyborgs ^^.
