- Motto: "Quis custodiet ipsos custodes"
I am a huge fan of the SRW franchise mostly because in addiiton to Transformers, I ejoy the old school SR anime (Mazinger Z, Getter Robo etc..) as well as RR such as Gundams/Macross etc...
I first played ROMS of SRW 3 & 4 in the late 90's. Then I learned about the "disc swap" trick on PS1 to play games from Japan, and purchased Shin SRW, Alpha, and Alpha Gaiden.
Then I modded my PS2 to play all region Games (Played Impact, Alpha 2 & 3, and MX)... then I pretty much was out of the loop for over a decade....
Fast forward to 2017, when I saw that V for PS4 had Space Battleship Yamato, and a full english Translation, THAT was the factor that finally made me decide to get a PS4. I have nearly 30 games, most of which I have paid less than $20 for. BUT those 3 SRW Games (V,X, and T) I paid a premium to import, and the good news is, that no modification is needed to play them on a North American Ps4. The only downside is, I cant get any of the DLC, but that is ok, the games are still extremely fun.
I know there is going to be an announcement in July. Japan is usually really good about supporting consoles even well after a new one is introduced. I'm hoping for one last amazing SRW on PS4 (since I have no intention of purchasing a 5 any time soon). The last few years nly mobile games which I really have no interest in have come out. Im hoping for one last really good console game.
As for TF Battlegrounds. I got it just recently (was about $15 at walmart). I watched my son play a few scenarios, but because it is based on Cyberverse rather than the original series, it really doesn't interest me. I still think it looks like a free mobile app game. I was really disappointed a sequel to Devastation never came out, that is the best Transformers game ever made. the WFC/FoC games are a close second, but unfortunately i never got to play them because I never had a PS3, and by the time I got a PS4, they had been removed from the virtual store.
