    I know it's years later, but EDF 5, in addition to just having even MORE weapons and a longer campaign, also adds a ton of quality of life features that address things brought up in this video, like now being able to gain weapons and armor for classes other than the one you're currently playing, giving Air Raider a third weapon slot, and clearing a mission now retroactively counts as clearing it for all difficulties below the one played on.

    One of my favorite things that I was allowed to do during the last few missions was build a sort of shelter out of a bunch of Balams, because the game allowed you to call them in on top of pre existing ones, meaning every time one of my giant robots got destroyed, another one immediately fell into place, creating an unbreakable wall of vehicles from which my friends and I took potshots. It was stupid and I adore that the game allowed it to happen

    Somewhere around mission 50 (!!!) they start throwing these dragons at you and the animations and attack patterns on them as they swoop in on you en masse is actually really good. This game is great at generating it's own setpieces without needing to overly script things. There's pitched battles against combined forces, there's desperate last stands as you run backwards from impossible odds firing into the swarm and hoping your magazine is going to outlast these giant red ants, there's the moment when things go literally 100% Pacific Rim on you as you mount up in the Walking Fortress Balam and fight Anguirus (I forget it's actual name) That said, if you have severe arachnaphobia, this is NOT the game for you. Or maybe it is?

    thats one nice thing about EDF 4.1 and also EDF 5 (coming soon to PS4!) is that if you actually saw these insects and spiders in real life, youd realize the game is almost 1:1 in terms of accuracy to what they look like and how their bodies move i mean sure the jumping spiders dont jump like actual jumping spiders do, but if thye did, you wouldnt be able to fight them because theyd be lunging at you so quick youd die in seconds in such hordes of them but the jumping spiders from a visual perspective have a model thats almost exact to the real life species their modeled after

    This is a long post intended to inform, and holds no real purpose. You dont have to read it if you dont care. This is a courtesy warning: I mean the "in real life" argument is a bit of conjecture however. Exoskeleton based creatures like various insects cannot support their own mass at such weights. Even projecting that somehow they develop a super-skeleton the massive amount of force required, the acceleration and deceleration of throwing such a massive object around with precision would have to be altered compared to its smaller version to keep the impact for from being strong enough to snap a similarly sized pillar of steel reinforced concrete. You're supposed to give a 3000lb car going at 60mph 200 yards to come to a stop. A 6,000lb spider being launched at 200mph and stopping on a dime would just end in a shower of gore and unintended collateral damage. A good example of this is seen in the water, where buoyancy creates a reality that is unable to be achieved on land. Despite being much more powerful and similarly aerodynamic, the darting/direction changing ability of small, medium, large and massive creatures is incredibly different, despite all having musculature that is proportionally strong for their sizes. Even with the reduced impact of being suspended in water, size, weight and impact are things that restrict most science fictions to always being fictions. That said it is a great game and I wouldnt want the concept changed for anything.

I ran to him right away, "i will keep you safe sir" He got an automatic rifle so i use him to kill drone So i just trying to kite the Hector as far from us as possible while collecting health for me soldier and take pot shot at Hector We reach the edge of the map, kill all drones and have 3 Hector left I kill all of those 3 quite easy but....the NPC soldier die right infront of my face So sad

    (Spoiler alert or 29 Brute Force for those that care) Jeez, that mission....that one gave me stress in the good way. First 2 or 3 times I die a little bit after getting past the shields, then I finally at least get one or a few of the shieldbearers running away, then the sudden Insect Swarm got me off guard and I died, then after a few tries I beat the swarm, mentally reeling from it, then I hear on Comms "there's enemy drones headed to your Area!" I audibly went "Ohhhh fuck meee...." as I heard that line, then die to it eventually. After a few tries, I get past drone swarm, thinking "that has to be it, right?! A line of Hectors covered by Shields, backed up by Ants, which are then backed up by Drone Swarms, that's enough for one mission........why hasn't it said Victory yet????" "A GROUP OF HECTORS HAVE DEPLOYED AT YOUR LOCATION!!" I physically "oh fuck me" 'd at that too, but, it was surprisingly the easiest part of the mission, but at that point I almost accepted defeat right there when I saw Hectors all around me {which may have also been backed by another fucking Ant/drone/both swarm and I just don't remember}. This game does it's scripted events really damn well, I feel the dread that it wants me to that so many other games and TV programs desperately want me to but just can't get me to feel. And that's one fucking mission, that's at BEST a THIRD of the way through the game. There's DEFINITELY more coming up that make that mission, which most games would have be their end game mission if even that, grander in scale and difficulty that will make it look like a fucking TUTORIAL mission! This is my first EDF game, that i eventually dropped a few years ago and only recently picked it up again, it feels like it's Clicked better this time around, and I have a feeling i'll grow from liking it to LOVING it.

    This video basically convinced me to buy this game and I'm super glad I did but there's a small problem I have with it. I found while playing in couch coop that weapons would only be gained for the person picking them up, which meant that my sister managed to get way more weapons in the beginning as the wing diver of the two of us until I realised and we started rationing them out. I mean I was still reliably killing shit because I was a ranger and I have a habit of sticking myself into a group of enemies and firing until I can see, but because of the preconception I had of the weapons being shared equally and stressing to her that she get boxes it put me at a disadvantage. Otherwise great video and I have no idea if this is a splitscreen only thing, in which I case I completely apologise.

    Finally got around to watching this video. I have to agree that the 2 weapon limit was ass. In co-op we would often try out weird things and it was sometimes frustrating when you picked some grenade that only got you killed and then you had just one weapon to use on everything else. Other than that, this game was fucking fun. So many long nights with my friend. Just screaming and laughing like madmen. Some of the missions really have an impressive sense of grand battle. Like the ones in large, open and even fields where you have tons of tanks rolling towards an army of hectors. That was an amazing feeling. on harder difficulties those fights would really make my ass cheeks clench. Clunky and awkward as it might be, I had some of my most fun and memorable co-op experiences with this game.

And they will little by little reveal that those heroes are on one of the storm teams (didn't specify which specific team) and I went "Is it me? Are they talking about me??" "I AM the legendary hero from the previous game!" So, then the final mission I felt the great triumphant without a single cutscene.

    These games are pure, unmitigated fun to play through with friends, especially on higher difficulties.

As in, if you shoot some weapons, your dash cool down turns off and you can dash again. some of these weapons are really fast shooting and can get you to near constant dashing

    Agree with every point of your review. Despite many little issues, the game is just so good at the main things it's trying to do that none of them ultimately matter that much. I got really into the game for a while; and that was only on ranger and wing diver, and only single player! I really want to convince someone to play through it with me sometime and try more fencer or air raider. E! D! F! (Yes I know the video is 6 years old but I gotta comment my support anyway!)

    I am so, so happy you reviewed this game. One of my middle-school friends and I played the crap out of the original game way-back-when, and recently my apartment roommate and I played through this one. I've already watched the video, but I would have said before it even started: This game is right up your alley. Unashamedly cheesy, over-the-top, and intense situations done with a straight face, it's the perfect love-letter for B-list monster movies done right. I could write an overly-long comment praising and deriding multiple facets of the game, but I'm satisfied with your video coverage, so I won't. I will say I'm sorry you weren't fond of my favorite class in the game, the WingDiver. I'm a huge fan of "laser" weapons, and being able to fly around while melting giant insects or getting up in the dragons' faces to rapid-fire-wide-laser shotgun them in their own aerial turf was immensely satisfying for me. Fencer was fun too.

    To be fair about Helicopters, weapons get stronger and better the higher the difficulty and the higher the level of the weapon. With the highest difficulty awarding up to level 99 Weapons. The Helicopters feel sluggish early on, which makes me think they have been designed around the hardest difficulty, because the later models of Helicopter are incredibly quick, agile and responsive.

All the ridiculous stuff (like the shotgun grenade launcher that fired flubber-esque plasma bombs that ricocheted all around the map and could destroy a small town in one blast) was gated to the last two difficulty levels, you and you alone were the nameless unrivaled soldier that basically won the entire war yourself, the three vehicle types actually mattered... Also five different types of godzilla, including the mecha one.

    Kinda late to say this but if you did end up playing fencer more and unlocking the javelin launcher, you have unlocked the fastest class in the game. Using the Javelin Launcher to cancel your dashes, you can immediately do it again, making you faster over 1 dimension than even a Wing Diver. The Launcher itself does need to be reloaded every once in a while, but the ammo count is about 200 or so, so it shouldn't be a problem.

    25:55 in 2025 that drag was infinite so if you got caught someone HAD to save you or you'd just die, in 4.1 they changed it so there is a sort of timer on it to prevent you from getting permanently locked against buildings and dying unfairly, however as someone who mostly plays Fencer it's not fun to get hooked if your behind a building, but if your not... well the not so itsy bitsy spider is about to find out what it's like to get mauled by a metal bear packing a small armory.

    one nice thing coming in EDF 5 (soon out on PS4, December 11th but no word on a potential PC port) is they made losing a bit less harmful, now if youl ose, you still keep a modest percentage of the weapons and armor you picked up, but they also made the grind a bit less heavy, levels drop a tighter spread of weapons now AND you get weapons for all classes though at least 70% of them wil be for the class your currently playing , but it still gives you some weapons for the other classes they also changed the completion aspect, Easty/Normal/Hard now share completion medals, so if you beat it on Easy you get the one for Easy, but if you beat it on Hard you get the medal for all 3 difficulties now this does NOT apply to Hardest and Inferno, those still have to be earned seperatly, meaning beating a mission on Inferno ONLY gets you the Inferno medal, not Hardest or any others, but still that does streamline the medal progression alot just being able to condense Easy/Normal/Hard into 1 if you can beat a mission on Hard

    Cool to see my footage being used. Please send me a PM next time though and tell me about it. And to clarify - That's the actual frame rate the game runs at - It's not the fault of the recording. I really do want to upload a longplay of the other games in the series too (Especially Global Defence Force, the 2nd game in the series), but my internet connection is just terrible (24/1). I can't say I feel like bothering when it takes me about 16 hours to upload a 30 minute video at 720p. But hey, I like your videos. Very in-depth reviews. We also have very similar tastes in games, especially in our capacity of appreciating weird, average and amusingly bad games. If you ever want to play some co-op in EDF 4.1, feel free to send me a friend request on Steam. Also, yeah, the Simple 2000 series was sold cheaply. 2000 yen a piece, to be specific, thus the name.

    completed the game on wing-diver as a near-untouchable (low hp but fast in the air) area cleansing death from above and behind zeus-in-a-plate-mail-bathing-suit but struggled on early missions with fencer (slow as hell unless dash-cancelling, but the aiming is compromised due to negative mouse acceleration) and air raider (early vehicles got nuked instantly by ant acid, or couldn't shoot up effectively enough to kill the dropships without getting horribly murdered by ants), ranger was broadly functional but boring.

    4.1 is a re-release of a PSP port (EDF4) of the original EDF2. It's easily the best start to the series. The game is very grindy and you're not really intended to play each mission back to back all the way through Hard or Hardest difficulty, you'll need to grind a bit to get both your armor value and unlocked weapons up to par but it isn't so gated that you need to finish every mission on one difficulty before moving to the next.
