I'm not very good with editing and I'm afraid that I'd totally botch the page if I tried, but it's woefully incorrect and based off of internet lore more than unbiased fact. The game was designed by Dean Sharpe and Mike Ebert, who later went off to form Big Ape Studios.
It was not developed by NCS and it was not, at any point, called Assault Suits Gideon. The only other name it went by while in development was, "Battle Droids".
There's a little post on the forums of The Lost Levels (a pretty nice site that does lots of research into this stuff and debunks internet game myths) here: http://forums.lostlevels.org/viewtopic.php?t=389
[edit] Metal Warriors: The Phantom Menace
Something that I've observed (and I'm sure many others have as well) is that the Ballistic armor from the game bears more than a passing resemblance to the Destroyer Droids in Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. I don't know if you could say that Star Wars copied the game, since both are Lucasarts productions after all. But my question is: is this little tidbit significant enough to add to this article?
- Speaking of meaningless aditions, is the fact it looks like a retouched carbon copy (gameplaywise and technologywise) of Cybernator notable? 200.255.137.221 18:55, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
I too noticed the likeness between the battle droids and cybernator's gameplay but one more likeness seemed to be much more striking. It seems to draw very heavily from Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam and Char's Counterattack. The first scene in the game looks very much like the first scene in Zeta gundam. Some of the images in the cutscenes look identical to promotional images for the two shows. The bridge of your ship looks very much like that of the Ra Cailum. The boss you run into a few times looks similar to the Quin mantha (http://www.mahq.net/Mecha/gundam/zz/nz-000.htm). There are many other similarities and If I had the ability to take pictures (not sure how to do that with an SNES, outside emulation) then I could make some side-by-side comparisons. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.8.149 (talk) 17:22, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Metal-WarriorsCover.jpg
Image:Metal-WarriorsCover.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 22:10, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Verb Tenses?
Almost the entire article is written in past tense. Since the game is not an historic event and all information still applies to the game today, it should be written in present tense, should it not? I don't have time to change all of that, but somebody definitely should. -Jacquismo 03:26, 23 June 2007 (UTC)
