Edf 6 has straight copy paste missions from Edf 5.

[Knife]

As I play thru Edf 6 iv'e seen at least 4 missions in the first 20 that were Edf 5 missions. I can't even tell you whats going on with the story. It's like the story starts as Edf 6 but your having flash backs for Edf 5? Seems crazy.Love Edf tho.

No ♥♥♥♥ sherlock, keep playing instead of farming clowns and you'll see why it happens

Doesn't surprise me, as EDF5 had straight copy-paste missions from EDF4/4.1, which in turn had straight copy-paste missions from EDF 2017 (EDF3). The mission name "Crimson" for a "beach episode", if you will, filled with red ants has been a thing for many, many years now.

Apparently, this time around there's actually in-game explanation for it this time around though, from what people have been saying...

Its not a flashback

Regardless it did immediately make me think Sandlot is finding new innovative ways of one upping it self on the recycling of assets lol

How you can tell someone is new to the franchise without them telling you they are new to the franchise.

EDF as a series, operates in a cycle. The upgrade the system/graphics and then they retell the story. EDF 5 was Earth Getting attacked. EDF6 is the aftermath. EDF 7 will be Earth getting attacked. EDF8 will be the aftermath.

You will always be in the same maps/areas in the games because that is where they are telling the story from... they just update stuff.

So this means Sandlot bad, RGGS good, WTF OP?

[osamonDX]

To be honest they really reuse their stuffs A LOT but for this case, They might do it on purpose as they play the time travel or parallel world trick this time

In the stage where frog-like aliens descend, just like in EDF5, I felt a strong sense of discomfort with the dialogue from my Earth Defense Force comrades, as if they were seeing the aliens for the first time. Is there a convincing plot explanation for this coming up?

To avoid any spoilers, Yes, there is a plot relevant reason.
