Robotech license renewed

[glitterboy2098]

well for one it means they'll be able to continue making that game. if HG had lost the license they'd lose the RPG sub-license.

I wonder if there is some animosity between Tatsunoko and Big West / Studio Nue still?  I had seen mention of it, but couldn't track it down.  My feeling is if Sony wants a movie they can market in Japan, the Macross era designs had better change, and that should have been priority once the original Big West / Studio Nue settlement occurred banning HG from future use at the time. 

HG seems determined to bury it if they can't buy it and it looks like a better organized bully tactic, this time only with possible Sony backing.  All the current games being developed using Macross as the base, especially the new minis game should have been using original redesigns as well, to me.

It's been described as BW hoping that Tatsunoko dies a violent death... in those exact terms. That's why the VF-0 in battroid mode is taller than the production VF-1, the creation of the New UN Spacy (as well as the redesigned kite for Frontier)... even the redesigns from Macross: The First. those were not only artistic updates, they were legal moves as well.

Aha, that explains alot.

This is one of those cases where nobody is the "good guy" and everybody is to blame in some way. The bad blood between Big West/Studio Nue and Tatsunko goes deep, and Tatsunko renewing Harmony Gold's licence is just a part of that feud.

The lack of western Macross releases is as much on Studio Nue and Tatsunko as it is Harmony Gold. Everybody is at fault here.

Yes, but most of the community here has a grudge against Harmony Gold, therefore we're allowed to blame them for everything.

That's how grudges work, right?  :D

One of my reimagined Wasp miniatures fell off a shelf and broke an arm a few days ago, and I had to spend, like, five minutes repairing it and checking to see if it lost any paint. Those Harmony Gold bastards.

I hope that they are successful in restyling all their assets away from BT & Macross.

+1 Liam... +1...  ;D
