Heh. Its like my dream game. A big budget AAA RPG set in a living, breathing futuristic world. And yeah, that would be just too good lol.

Makes me remember that I had until yesterday totally forgotten that there was a Ghost in the Shell game on the PS1, I always used to play the demo of that back when I was a kid.

Nice. I remember there being one for the PS2. Didn't realise there was one for PS1 as well.

Yeah it's a shooter, you play one of these bug tanks.

Attack on Titan - Similar to Freedom Wars, open world where you move around with the 3D maneuver gear
Hellsing - Hack n Slash
No Game No Life - Comedy with a series of minigames.

This is a good one.

Also, you made me think of another.. Vampire Hunter D



I dont think anyone mentioned it yet, but a new .//hack game would be awesome:)



 

Really want a proper sequel to The Broken Bond. Not really a fan of the fighting only Naruto games

I love anime games. But unfortunately most of them are of poor quality.

I don't really agree with this, but maybe because most of the anime games I play are import Gundam games.  While the games that released in the US are hit and miss, this is one series that usually has good games over bad.

On the PSX, there were two good Gundam fighters called Gundam Battle Asssault and Gundam Battle Assault 2. 

On PS2 there was Journey to Jaburo.  Movement was pretty stiff, but the gameplay was overall good and the storyline was well told, following the original Mobile Suit Gundam from the beginning all the way to the White Base taking off into space.  Zeonic Front is also set during the one year war, but you play as a fictional Zeon group who attack Federation territories.  This game is a strategy/stealth/action game.  You have three groups of allies that you can control and put into strategic positions to take out enemy soldiers.  The game isn't that great, but not terrible. 

Encounters in Space is pretty much a sequel to Journey to Jaburo.  The gameplay is completely different though and is like Zone of Enders with the Gundam storyline.  The game starts off from the first colony they exit after entering space.  The game also includes a new storyline called Thoroughbred which could be it's own anime, and I think they actually made a comic book with the characters later, there's several Ace Pilot modes where it covers the full second half of 0083 with three differen't pilots, a section of Blue Destiny, and also some storyline and missions with three Zeon ace pilots.  There's still even more content.  There's a mission mode that lets you run through eight missions so you can build your own Zeon and Federation pilot where each missioni gives you points to put into your pilots stats.  Even if you lose a mission, it still counts, so you can choose missions between one and five star difficulties.  There's a versus mode where you can set up any of the mobile suits in the game to fight against any others and you can also play against another human opponent.  

Mobile Suit Gundam Federation vs Zeon is an arcade game developed by Capcom for Namco.  The game has multiple different maps set in different cities in the One Year War.  In arcade mode you can choose from any of the suits in the game whether it's Federation or Zeon.  Each suit has a cost, so if you lose in battle you don't actually lose, the morale bar is reduced and you only lose when it hits 0 before the enemies does.  Federation vs Zeon has a campaign mode though where you're just a pilot on the sidelines.  You test out mobile suits and fight in wars around the One Year war with the same gameplay, and you can go through the campaign mode as the Federation or the Zeon, with a possible 100+ missions each side.  You acquire new suits as you play and your suits retain the damage lost in the battle and slightly recover as you progress through more missions, so you won't always be using the same suit.  After completing the game with both, you can start a hard mode where you start with every suit you can acquire through the campaign with that side, but the suits don't regain health after each mission.  If a suit is destroyed it's gone  for good. 

Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam vs Zeta Gundam has the exact same gameplay as Federation vs Zeon but goes up to Zeta Gundam and I think includes the Double Zeta Gundam.  The campaign mode in this game though is different.  You know longer slowly acquire new suits and take on missions.  You have a choice between the AEUG, Titans, or Axis.  As the AEUG, you'll be  able to play through the storyline of all the Federation pilots in 0079 and the AEUG in 0087.  Titans you'll play as the Titans, and Axis you'll play as Axis or Zeon characters from 0079.  Each mission is from the storylines in the series themselves, so you'll hear chatter between the characters talking to one another as you progress.  Although there are also many what-if scenarios.  Garma is killed in New York on 0079, but he can survive in a what-if scenario.  The game actually doesn't tell you what ones are what if scenarios or not though, so if you've never seen the series you might know.  There are a lot of different characters and each one has a lot of what if scenarios.

Both Mobile Suit Gundam Gundam vs Zeta Gundam and Federation vs Zeon include an arcade mode and a four player versus mode(if you have a multitap.)  Gundam vs Zeta Gundam has a bonus content mode where every mission you play whether it's through the arcade or campaign, you get bonus points that can only be used here.  This is a massive catalog of every version of every suit, every warship, every character with character details, song in each series, etc that you can spend points to unlock.  It's just one big viewer so you can see all the content within the game, zoom in, zoom out, hear all the voice clips, etc.  It actually takes a long time to get 100% so it's something to go for.  I haven't got 100%.

MS Saga is an original Gundam themed RPG.  Gameplay is  really good, storyline isn't good but not bad.

These other titles are import only.

Gundam Battle Tactics, Royale, Chronicles, and Universe are all mostly the same gameplay slightly updated.  Universe has all the content from every other game, so unless you don't like a change made to the attack system, for example the boost melee starting at Chronicles does a triple punch or sword slash instead of the mobile suits custom attack done in Royale or Tactics.  That same attack can be done in those games, but only from a regular boost and it's no longer as useful.  Starting at Chronicles as well you can upgrade the speed at which your guns fire so you'll increase accuracy, where you couldn't increase speed of which they fire in the previous games.

So ignoring the others, Gundam Battle Universe gives you 100+ missions, possibly closer to 200.  It's completely in Japanese so unless you know the story you won't know what the operators are talking aboutt, but it basically has you playing as a pilot that was in major battles throughout thte series.  You'll start in the year 0079 as either a Federation or a Zeon pilot with a GM or a Zaku.  As you complete missions you'll gain extra mobile suits and you'll also acquire upgrade points for the suit that you used on the mission.  You can put the upgrade points into the suit you used to increase rate of fire, attack power of your weapons, you can also increase HP, defense, boost speed, amount of boost, how fast the suit moves, how quickly it jumps, speed at which you fly when using jump thrusters, etc..  Federation and Zeon have completely different missions so unless you start a new character you're missing those extra missions, but I also didn't explain what happens after you beat all the 0079 missions.  Once you complete the final mission in 0079, the game gives you the option to change your alliegence, so you can be part of the Federationi again or the Delaz Fleet(Zeon.)  After completing that one the game moves onto Zeta Gundam, 0087 which you can choose between AEUG, Titans, and Axis, then ZZ Gundam in 0088, Char's Counterattack in 0093, and then the bonus missions where you'll fight and acquire suits from Gundam F91.  Plus the harder missions where you fight every suit in the game in a single round or two.  There's a ton of content here and it's a great game.

Lost War Chronicles.  Haven't played this, but it's based off of Journey to Jaburo's engine but refined. 

Mobile Suit Gundam The One Year War.  This game was created by Namco before Namco Bandai merged.  This game has the most in depth story in the series and sadly it's not in English.  It doesn't much matter if you know the storyline, but still sucks.  This game has fairly fluid third person controls that somewhat play like Encounters in Space but not only in space but also on land.  The game starts off at the very beginning of the original Gundam and goes all the way to the very end, and you don't just play the main sections in the storyline.  You go  through a lot of sections you usually don't go through.  A lot of the time you're in a mobile suit, but there are times that you're controlling gun turrets from the side of the white base and destroying mobile suits that drop down, or you're not in a mobile suit at all, killing enemies in an on rail shooter.      

Mobile Suit Gundam vs Gundam and Gundam Extreme Vs.  This is basically an updated version of the Federation vs Zeon arcade games.  There's some Seed  games which use the engine and were updated before hand, but these versions are the most up to date.  The engine has now turned very fast paced and each suit is more unique than they have been in past games.  The suits you'll be in control of are multiple different ones from various Gundam franchises, like the great 0079, Stardust Memory, and Zeta, all the way to the crappy Seed and Seed Destiny.  It also has suits from Gundam Crossbones, Wing, etc.

I haven't played this one, but Gundam Breaker is basically Diablo with mobile suit customization.

Then the DBZ games.  Most of those that have released GBA/PS2 and later have been good.  Legacy of Goku 2, Buu's Fury, Budokai series, Tenkaichi 2/3.

Kill La Kill - Action game (hack and slash).

All of my yes.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."
