    It’ll be tough. If I recall correctly, it didn’t use the analog controls. You used L1 and R1 to turn, and vertical aiming was done doom style (i.e. the game did it for you).

    This is a game that needs a modern remake, and we will never get one. This game is why the fuchikomas disappeared and we see tachikomas now. Legal bullshit.

      what what? guess I’m just a casual because I never knew this. what’s the difference, and was it like, production company changes or what?

        I don’t remember the specifics, but the production circumstances of this game are why the mechas changed, and I think someone still owns some of the IP associated with this game. And they’re just… sitting on it.

        But they changed from the spider bots (fuchikoma) to octopus bots (tachikoma) as a result of the legal drama. Real talk, not much difference aside from what they call them, and the color. And in stand alone complex the octopus bots had a sticky web they shoot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
