2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generation
2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generation (第2次スーパーロボット大戦OG, Dai 2 ji Sūpā Robotto Taisen Ōjī?) is a tactical role-playing game for the PlayStation 3 developed by Banpresto and published by Namco Bandai Games. It is the sequel to Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden. It is intended to be released in September 29, 2011 as part of Super Robot Wars' 20th Anniversary but got pushed back to an unknown date.[1]
Gameplay
Developed by the same team behind Super Robot Wars Original Generation Gaiden, the game uses high-energy, dynamic action for the in-game battle sequences. According to current series producer Takenobu Terada, the game will use High-definition 2D sprites rendered over a 3D background. This effect was similarly used in the previous Super Robot Wars 64. The Twin Battle System from previous Original Generation installments, where two adjacent units can combine into a single squad, which can then attack simultaneously, will return. However, the team has promised improvements and changes.
Changes and Additions
Like Original Generation Gaiden, 2nd Super Robot Wars Original Generation will include new content, in the form of new characters and mecha, but also provides additions to existing characters and mechs.
- New mecha and characters from new series for the game include the following:
- The YTA-06BW Cerberus, the selectable real robot from Super Robot Wars MX, with its pilots Hugo Medio and Aqua Centrum, alongside the YμP-05 Medius Locus, piloted by both antagonists Albero Esto and Eldy Mitte. The developers have hinted the super robot YTA-07RB Garmreid will make an appearance in some way.
- Aile Chevalier and Blanche Neige, the real robots from Super Robot Wars D will make their official debut for the first time, including their pilots Joshua Radcliffe and Cliana Rimskaya, respectively. The antagonist group Runia will also make their appearance in the game, but the only confirmed ones were Contagio and Wintos and their mechs, the Violaceum and the Studium. It is unknown if the super robots Ganador and Strega will appear in the game proper.
- Flickerei Geist piloted by Ariel Org, the heroine from Real Robot Regiment finally debuts in the game. Duvan Org, the antagonist from the game will also be included, piloting the Alles Geist.
- The remaining units piloted by the main characters of 2nd Super Robot Wars Alpha will make their debut in this game. These are Kusuha Mizhua's DR-1C Ryujinki, Ibis Douglas' YAM-008-2 Altairlion and Sleigh Presley's YSF-34 Vegalion.
- Ing Egret, the fourth Machinery Children from the 2nd Super Robot Wars Alpha side-story manga Lost Children will make an exclusive appearance. He will pilot a customized PTX-EX EXbein (first seen in Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Inspector) called the Ashe.
- The DGG-XAM03 RaiOh, the third Dynamic General Guardian from 3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha, revealed during the game's announcement in Famitsu. It is unknown if it or its pilot Touma Kanou will appear in the game proper.
- The RPT-007K-C Gespenst MK II Mass Production Custom Type-C, RPT-007K-N Gespenst MK II Mass Production Custom Type-N and RPT-007K-G Gespenst MK II Mass Production Custom Type-G, special units that appeared from Another Century's Episode Portable finally make their proper appearance. These custom Gespenst models are derived from the Earth Federation Army's "Halloween Plan" to equip special forces with superior units. The Type-C sports powerful armor and is equipped with Twin Beam Cannons and missiles, the Type-N is similar to the mass produced versions utilized by the Cry Wolves squadron and the Type-G has a total of eight Plasma Stakes effective in close-ranged combat. These new frames are interchangeable and will become new units for Russel Bagman, Kai Kitamura and Katina Tarask, respectively.
- The SRG-01-3C Grungust Custom, a custom upgrade of Irmgard Kazahara's Grungust from Super Robot Wars Alpha (despite the Alpha version is a recolor of the Grungust Type-2). This super robot is equipped with Roundel Wings and a pair of Beam Cannons. The unit's design is changed also to incorporate new weapons as well. Despite the Roundel Wings, it can still transform into its Wing Grust and Grust Lander modes.
- The PTX-014-03C R-Blade Custom, a customized upgrade to Ryuusei Date's R-Blade from 3rd Super Robot Wars Alpha makes its official debut.
- The AGX-05 Cybuster gains a new weapon from Masoukishin: The Lord of Elemental, the Vanity Ripper.[2]
- Additional mecha designed specifically for the game include the following:
- DGG-XAM03 JinRai
- The predecessor of the RaiOh, the JinRai is designated as the third Dynamic General Guardian unit created by Dr. Kaoru Tomine, based on designs by Bian Zoldark. It is equipped with the S-ZLAI (Shippu ZinLai), a special artificial intelligence system which allows it to move without a pilot. Its primary objective is to destroy the Dygenguard and Aussenseiter, the first two Dynamic General Guardians.
- PTX-006L Wildrauptier Schnabel
- An upgraded version of the Wildrauptier, this all-range all-purpose unit is equipped with Rail Cannons and a pair of Blade Sai. An additional Tesla Drive is installed for increased speed and mobility. The machine can still transform into its Flyer Mode for increased cruise ability.
Story
Aidoneus Island, in the Marquesas Archipelago in the South Pacific, the landing point of "Meteor 3", the same meteor the aliens called the "Aerogators" sent long ago, as well as the primary headquarters of the military association known as the "Divine Crusaders", who threw the Earth Sphere into chaos... The oceanic area around it has been blocked off, and for a time, it has vanished from the stage of history. But behind that stage's curtain, a certain plan has been steadily proceeding.
That plan is to have a special task force which uses ISA tactics (Blitzkrieg operations using mobile battleships that fill the role of an aircraft carrier, and the humanoid mobile weapons placed on board such battleships) and acts according to the will of the President of the Earth Federation Government. It is established under the codename "GS."
"GS" is a military organization independent of the Earth Federation Army, and its primary mission is to carry out special presidential orders concerning military problems. In addition, refortification of Aidoneus Island has been proceeding under the direction of the president's two aides, and on that island, a variety of project deliverables, many new weapons, have been being gathered. However, the true nature of "GS" is being kept secret, and on the surface, it has been designated as an experimental squadron for new weapons. Will "GS" be a new sword to protect the Earth Sphere?[3]
