In the past ten years of gaming I’ve noticed a significant amount of something overly vague as “Winter (and whatever the year is)”, and not to mention the irritating “To Be Announced”.
OGPlanet Launches Gundam Video on Demand in North America. Fans and players of the popular SD Gundam Capsule Fighter Online can access Gundam series from the OGPlanet site
Andriasang: Round 8 of Gundam Musou 3's paid download content is titled Tekijin Totsunyu. Playing as Gundam OO's Allelujah Haptism, you lead your Arios Gundam unit through enemy lines in search of your allies.
After the success of the first two titles Koei has decided to make a new version “Gundam Musou 3”. Unlike the prior titles in the series, it is the first “truly” next gen title for the series. With the removal of the dead weight known as the ps2, will this allow the title to soar to new heights, or will it be devastatingly bad?
Sadly, especially for this game, I can only agree.
Why did they have to take this turn?
Tried the first game and it was trash. I still dont understand what there is to like about this game. I bet it's also trash compared to the anime.
The second game was just annoying to make it harder they just gave the enemys an insane amount of HP and made there attacks practically kill you instantly.. Made the game no fun whatsoever. I expect nothing less from this and it will be the first in the series I won't be buying day 1.
Wow isn't there any manga/anime games which are good? Or are they all just Fanservice and cash ins?
Some games are good, but most arnt. This isn't due to anything fully controllable but trying to score annually. A lot of these games are like CoD and get a new one every year so the quality drops.
Jump Ultimate Stars, and Super Stars are good examples of a solid game. The older Naruto portable games were also amusing.Gundam 0081 another PS3 title was very fun, but its a lot better in quality next to this game. Jojo's bizzare adventure the capcom fighting game wasnt bad, same with the Hokuto no ken fighting game though ungodly broken.
Hokuto no ken also had a cute motion comic where you pushed points on the screen to use hokuto shinken on them. Even some of the other ones werent that bad, like the one piece RPG's werent too bad but a lot of the side elements like the fighting game were awful. Same with the One Piece Unlimited Cruse game which featured some odd playable characters, and less than enjoyable gameplay.
You'd think by now Japan would've created separate Gundam series games like Journey to Jaburo...
I want a standalone, next-gen Gundam Wing game already!
It's called Mobile Suit Gundam Battlefield Record U.C. 0081 on PS3 and it'll probably never be released in america. Another great idea by Namco Bandai.... I hate them so much.
Can we have a "realistic" Gundam game you mean. A proper mix of arcade shooter yet with some consideration on a GT level. An RX-78 Gundam taking on 3-4 Zaku with a better than even chance of winning, yet getting stomped on by the Sazabi.
@StarScream4Ever:
Naw, I mean something closer to the Gundam vs Gundam games, but with a modding, loadout and paint scheme options. An actually competent enemy AI. Bandai could likely do it with only a few tweaks which only makes it more frustrating.
Oh, and an English release!
There is actually a 'realistic' Gundam game back in the Dreamcast.

i wish KY, creator of the GT series, would get in on this i know he has some exp in games like this and wouldnt it be cool if the gundams had detailed internal cockpits? lol a man can only dream
I have Musou 2 and my god, there are a lot of unlockables. Too bad, that's the same situation for this game... makes trophy hunting exhausting/not worth it.
Good to see the lag fixed though and the graphics slightly updated.
only improvement i notices was the added lighting effect and enemies collision detection, but regardless I'm still buy the game.
Code Monkey? :D
The only one ?
Then how come comics are often as late ? how come it's the same for manga series ?
Album and movies release dates or even production schedules constantly pushed back ?
The entertainement mediums as a whole , are often late .
Video games are titanic, multi-million dollar projects -- putting a hard deadline on them, long before they were ready, would be foolhardy, and a gigantic waste of marketing money. We're talking 200+ man-years here, in every major game.
Most console game engines consist from 0.75 to 1.5 million lines of code, and that's not inclusive of the middleware SDKs they use.
That's approximately the amount of text in 100 300-page novels, and it all has to be logically correct to solve tens of thousands of different problems, 30 times per second, every second.
As far as translating a game goes -- that's a different story, but its still subject to scheduling time with loads of different people... translators, voice actors, and then getting it approved via other nations ratings boards, and the quality assurance teams of the publisher and console manufacturer.
THEN, you have to schedule time at a disc manufacturing plant -- which you don't dare do too far in advance, because if you miss the date, by even a day, you just wasted a *truckload* of money. These places don't like to sit idle, and if you miss a day... you gotta get in line again. Probably best not to schedule time until you know exactly the time you're gonna be ready, and hence, probably best not to tell your future consumers you'll be ready, before you actually know.
No deadline in video games. LoL. That's about the furthest from the truth you could possibly get, with a statement about the video game industry. Since the article author mentions that he worked at a grocery store, there's a good analogy there. Imagine having a scheduled time to finish, measured in seconds, for every person coming through your line, if you're a cashier. Ponder the zillion things that can go wrong, to cause this estimation to be off... grandma forgets her prunes, and sends johnny off to get them, some package has a tear in it... uh oh, can't buy that one, customer says "that was on sale!", or you ring up an item twice on accident, some item has a worn UPC code, ... so on and so on... and then ask yourself "would that kind of rigid scheduling work?"
