The Open Access Beta of Mobile Suit Gundam Extreme VS. Maxiboost ON starts this Saturday! Suit up every weekend until the game arrives on 30 July to compete in fast-paced 2v2 Gundam battles on PS4. https://bnent.eu/GundamMBON_OAB Follow us on: Web: https://www.bandainamcoent.eu Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bandainamcoeu Twitter: https://twitter.com/Bandainamcoeu Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bandainamcoeu
I initially saw this trailer when it first released about two weeks ago and we're inching closer and closer to the actual release date in exactly a month from this posting at the tail end of July. I literally lost my shit at the sheer number of mobile suits revealed to be in the game from start in this trailer with the beloved series that aired on Toonami's block are well represented this time around with suits from Gundam Wing (along with it's OVA follow-up, Endless Waltz), Mobile Fighter G Gundam, Gundam SEED (along with its multiple sequels that never aired on Toonami), and even the majority of the popular Universal Century timeline well represented to boot. As great as this sounds, I personally have to pass on pre-ordering and buying this at launch. I want to see if Bandai Namco are actually keeping their word about the wealth of single player content in comparison to the original. It's hard to determine from the few instances that I had to check out the open beta, but the open beta is multiplayer versus oriented without any single player nor training modes at the player's disposal.
Don't quote me on this, but I think Boost cancels have been removed in some capacity. I couldn't figure out how to do it, but I need to dig around to make sure before I rule it out completely. Maybe it's just me or the fact that I haven't played this since the last game released, but this game seems MUCH faster paced than the previous Gundam Versus title.
One more bit of bad news for Gundam fans outside of Japan, but this title is going to be a digital ONLY release. The physical release will only available overseas. While I'm not too crazy about that decision, I can understand why. I don't think the previous Gundam Versus title sold too well on PlayStation 4, nor did that New Gundam Breaker title that released shortly thereafter. Gundam Versus at least still circulates and draws a following from the fighting game community, but I haven't heard anything positive about New Gundam Breaker, so I figure the publishers want to play it safe this time around.
