Live Action Gaiking Movie Adaptation
A Hollywood treatment of the classic super robot anime Gaiking was recently announced at the Tokyo International Anime Fair. From the trailer, it looks like this classic super robot show will be getting a very gritty treatment and will feature current generation movie CGI. Gaiking is probably more known outside Japan as part of the Force Five series which also included other famous super robots such as Dangard Ace (Planetary Robot Dangard Ace) Starvengers (Getter Robo G) Grandizer (UFO Robot Grendizer) Spaceketeers (Starzinger). Take a look at the awesome trailer, along with the original Gaiking OP so you can compare and contrast the differences after the jump:
Armored Core Analogs: Grenade Launchers
Unfold gently when in need of serious heat.
Don't let the name fool you - from its long barrel, heavy weight, to its earth-shaking power, what Armored Core calls a "Grenade Launcher" is anything but a grenade launcher. Read why after the jump.
AC Chronicle Artworks Interview Summaries
As mentioned earlier, the artbook packaged with the Japanese version of LR:P came with concept sketches of AC5 and an interview with series director Toshifumu Nabeshima.
Cacophanus over at Mecha Damashii took the time to write a summary of what it was all about.

PlayStation Philippines Launched
Sony officially launches the PlayStation series game consoles in the Philippines on March 27, 2010 and they're holding a launch party to celebrate its release in the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati City on the same date. Does this mean we get locally distributed PSN cards and official tech support? We here in RR hope so.
Read on for the official press release.
Here’s Your Front Mission Evolved Box Art
Snagged by Kotaku, at least for the PS3 version. With that, Square Enix released more screenshots of the upcoming Front Mission Evolved, which further excites us about the upcoming mech shooter. Based on the screen shots, the current progress of the game is shaping up to be a standard title in any mech gamer's library. The new screen shot gallery after the jump:
AC Chronicle Artworks Gallery
Here's a collection of scanned images from the AC Chronicle Artworks included in the JPN edition of Armored Core Last Raven Portable released earlier this month. The artbook contains stills and scenes from various Armored Core intros, as well as the concept designs for Armored Core 5, and an interview with series director Toshifumi Nabeshima. Hit the jump for the gallery.
Armored Core Analogs: Slug Guns
We could not find a decent slug gun pic, so have a Cascade Range instead.
Shotguns are awesome.
While they lack a rifle's range or the MG's sustained fire ability, they're capable of generating absurd amounts of damage in one quick pass. So when From Software decided to up the ante with Slug Guns, you'd think we'd slapping them on our ACs ASAP, right?
Wrong. Continue reading after the jump.
Muscle Tracer Armored Core Fangame
This seems to be another fan made game in the works similar to Armored Core: Limit Release, but this one seems to have focused the game to Armored Core's typically unappreciated grunt enemies. The name of the game escapes us, but it seems that it features MT opponents from the first Armored Core game and might also feature some limited customization on parts. Hit the jump for the video.
Armored Core Analogs: Multi-missiles/Hydra
Not this sh*t again.
Much like the mythical creature from where it takes its name, the Multi-missile pack is one weapon most people dread. While it doesn’t have the phenomenal stopping power of the other back mounts, the Hydra’s strength lies in its surprise – four missiles erupting from the main body to engulf the enemy, and cut off their attempts at escape. Read more after the jump.
Transformers: War For Cybertron Preview Details
A lot of hype for the upcoming Transformers: War For Cybertron, and its probably well deserved. Tformers got an exclusive preview of the game and based on the report, Transformers: War For Cybertron is shaping up to be an awesome 3rd person mech combat experience. Central to the mechanics of the game is the 3 player co-op for missions, which will be available throughout the game with a join-in, join-out feature making the game essentially built for team gameplay. More details and a gameplay trailer after the jump:
