I’m just gonna import from Amiami.
In japan we have a card based save system for Gundam Next ( what this game is bases on ) and it allows to unlock specific gundamns etc. Thats the only reason I can imagine him saying that. A for the psp ports, the best one by far is Gundam Next Plus. Its in the PSP Best Series ( greatest hits), i highly suggest checking it out.
Importing on whatever’s cheapest.
Spoiler
Or I’ll just stay poverty and order anime figures and Gunpla with that money. orz
But Gendum Extreme Vs. > those
I’m just being curious, but what would a realistic tournament set up in general be for this game? Would it involve having 4 TVs and PS3s as well as 4 copies of the game as well at the very least if we’re assuming that one screen is dedicated to one player only? Talk about a hassle to set up. :wow:
Does PS3 have LAN support? That’s probably the only realistic setup. It would be a pain, but I wouldn’t care. It would pretty cool, considering how arcade-esque it is. It would be a hassle to stream, though.
The Ps3 does have lan support. As for a tournament setup, i can imagine it being a pain; which could hold the game back potentially
Aw man, no Kämpfer? 
Still awesome though, I’ve been curious about this game. I love that the PS3 is region free so much.
They’re likely going to make it a very nice and full port but they consider the real stage to be battling it out at the arcades. So ideally, you pick up the game to practice at home and then go to the arcades for heavy competition. Depending on where you go, that competition is mighty fierce as well.
Ideally? If the tournament is big, then do preliminaries on a two screen setup with each team occupying one TV, assuming the 2 player mode isn’t too bad screen-wise. You can double the number of matches that way for when the tourney is big. When you get down to the main tournament you can switch to a 4 TV setup and hopefully they add a monitor function so a 5th PS3 can act like a live monitor so folks can project a match onto a big screen.
As for the matches themselves, typical single rounds are quick. Time limit is often 210 seconds as I recall or at least it was for NP which is 3:30 seconds. Of course most rounds won’t go that long so even prelims will be quick as long as folks are ready to go. You can go 2/3 for prelims and it’d still be over in less than 10 minutes at the maximum.
Next Plus didn’t have a card system but EXVS does. You don’t unlock specific gundams with it, just your customizations like your HUD, operator, tag, team messages, team name, and favorite MS. Of course, your record as well. If you were forced to have a card to use specific Gundams, people would probably through a fit, heh.
I’ve always been a big fan of gundam vs games. I hope this has decent lan support as there is some stuff in the future i’d like to do with it.
So I spent a little time with my brother watching some Providence match videos.
Holy hell, that thing looks fun to play. I’ve never been much of a zoning guy, but an MS specialized in funnel/DRAGOON (for the record, fuck Seed) zoning seems to look fun, with lots of setups to hit melee or rifle shots. Char Gelgoog looks pretty cool, with some great melee, good range, and a pretty good Elmeth assist.
Oh fuck it, basically everyone in 2000 class looks awesome.
good times
This is gonna be great. Nothing more to say.
so is this game an upgraded of the one in arcades right now? if so then…auto buy
Yeah it pretty much is. Get your different modes and likely console exclusive suits.
is this the same as Gundam vs Gundam or a completely new game looks good. I wanna buy the Virtual On twinsticks for this game. I think we all need to ask filthie Rich and the good folks at Namco Bandai for an American Port…
Same series as Gundam vs Gundam. This game uses either a standard stick or pad, not VO Twin Sticks.
Sweet, I’ll definitely buy Gundam Extreme Vs! Custom soundtrack feature? I’m sooo gonna put in Zeta’s first opening.
I wonder if A twin stick could be modded for PS3 to work with Gundam just a thought.
There really isn’t a point even if you could. GVG games don’t have a rotation control like VO does (one of the big reasons why it needs Twin Sticks) It’d be interesting but too hard to play because the gameplay requires a lot of button tapping which the twin sticks aren’t as good for.
Makes sense i used to play Gundam Vs Gundam at Arcade Infinity… so makes sense why they didn’t have twin sticks for the game. Thanks for clearing that up. Will be buying this through play-asia come december. Someone said there’s also a english feature we can enable for this?
