More Info from AnimeNewsNetwork:
From Software, the developer behind the Armored Core and Another Century's Episode (A.C.E.) robot game franchises, is developing a PlayStation 3 game based on the Mobile Suit Gundam UC video anime series for release next spring. The game — the first for the video anime — will cover the story from the first three anime volumes. Part of the game will follow the story from the viewpoint of the main character Banagher, while other parts will follow the story from the viewpoints of the rival characters Marida and Frontal.

Part of the game will follow the story from the viewpoint of the main character Banagher, while other parts will follow the story from the viewpoints of the rival characters Marida and Frontal.
The Banagher route will have the player piloting the Unicorn Gundam in both "Unicorn mode" and "Destroy Mode" (with the NT-D system activated). The Frontal route will have the player in the remnants of the Zeon forces, piloting Frontal's personal mobile suit Sinanju. The Marida route puts the player in the shoes of the namesake Zeon ace pilot and the Kshatriya mobile suit with its remotely guided Funnel weapons.
The November 24 issue of Enterbrain's Weekly Famitsu magazine (which actually shipped on Thursday) has an interview with the developers of the game, along with profiles of the featured mobile suits and characters. During battle, the player can engage the "subflight system," and there will be downloadable content. Famitsu posted additional images from the game.

I'm kinda disappointed they had the controls similar to ACE, it was way too simple
ReplyDeleteI wonder if it's safe to say that Gundam UC is the next series to be featured in the next ACE game.... XD
ReplyDeleteI've only tried ACE: Portable for PSP, but if many Anons out there feel (as a negative) the ACE controls are too simple (which I disagree with; more buttons control more things than a Gundam Battle or Gundam Vs. game does), then I wonder just how they'll react to the simple controls (and sheer fun) of the latest of the Gundam Vs. series (Gundam Extreme Vs.).
ReplyDeleteany chances of english release?
