Touted as the biggest Gundam game ever developed, with over 100 player-controlled mobile suits in the same battlefield, Namco Bandai has released a new trailer announcing the commercial service for Gundam Online.
Mobile Suit Gundam Online started its official service today, and of course it’s Japan only, leaving all the western fans of the white Mobile Suit that started the “Real Robot” Anime tradition high and dry and with very slim hopes for a localization.
that's almost an insult to Hawken. Did you watch that explosion at the 2:23 mark? It's like a PS2 timeloop. And before anyone yells at me about gameplay over graphics, A) this is PC, and B) you know we can have both, right?
I want me a Gouf or Gelgood. SIEG ZEON! SIEG ZEON! SIEG ZEON! I want that Apsalus. =D
One thing that always turned me off to Zeon suits were the names. Most of them were so awkward.
I AM a fan of the Rick Dom, though.
Dear gamers, if you want a MMOFPS that doesnt look like trash and is FREE, get planetside 2.
Surprisingly few licensed game franchises can claim to be as old as Mobile Suit Gundam, and fewer still can claim to have the legacy that Gundam does.
Gundam, if you didn't know, is almost as old as home gaming itself. Bandai's seminal robot anime first found popularity in the early 1980s, when the Famicom was also finding its feet, and has been a big part of gaming ever since. True, you don't see a lot of Gundam games in the U.S.; but over in Japan, Bandai (and later Namco Bandai) has released one or two Gundam games per year since at least 1986. That's a lot of Gundam.
Its a shame that Namco is so cautious and dismissive with the franchise in the West. Wont offer anything from past the DW clones.
Although I somewhat enjoyed them, I never found 2D fighting games to be fit for Gundam. I enjoy the 3rd person fighting games but I wish they'd evolve a bit more (since they really haven't after Rengou vs Omni first came out).
I wish they'd release a game like the AC series or just a damn simulator.
The official YouTube channel for Bandai Namco Games has posted three videos for Namco Bandai Online's new Mobile Suit Gundam Online game for Microsoft Windows systems.
