Attitudes like that are the reason Earth Federation has to keep you lot in check.

Nope, I'm at work. Plus I'm trying to get through some of my backlog before it comes and sucks up all my gaming time. Just finished Vesperia (PS3) the other night and started Akham City yesterday.
I've been playing it in between breaks of 3D Land to get me pumped.
Though again, it's going to suck how a lot of my faves aren't in Extreme. Epyon...Shining...Spiegel...! T3T
No Epyon? Is that because Epyon had no ranged attack maybe? Still, there are lots of cool suits that are available for DLC that maybe we will see later on.

Until you live in space, you can never understand how to truly relate to others. Gravity is just keeping you back.

It's because they took out Wing TV.
EDIT: got my shipping address changed to my spot in Sweden. Hopefully I'll be playing the game with you guys by the middle of next week.

Tallgeese 3 has a heat whip. Just pretend.

I actually like the Tallgeese III over the Epyon since it combined everything cool about the Tallgeese and the Epyon (minus mega beam sword and dragon mode).
I agree with this, plus this way if they ever add it back it could be the way more badass looking Epyon EW.
Nah. That'd be like telling fans of Char's Zaku to "pretend" with the Gunner, too, eh? 8D

Can it kick?
Said fans don't need to bother, when Char's Gelgoog is also around.
There was an Epyon EW?!
Not in the animation, but I've seen a newer model kit with EW branding for Epyon.

Just wondering is there like a story mode like in Gundam vs Zeta Gundam (PS2) with each character that branched off? It was really fun to relive some of the Gundam battles in a video game.
You'll get that in Trial Mission Mode, although it isn't story so much as it is specific battles and then some from the multiple Gundam titles.

I wish. That was the best campaign(?) mode ever for the series.

Were Raphael, Dynames, and Blue Frame unlocked from the start?
Yes. Are all of them only for the console version? Hmm
distantmantra
Member
Yep. They're the new console exclusive units.
I wonder how Hi-Nu unlocks if you don't use the first-pressing DLC code?
donkey show
Member
Nope. Raphael just unlocked in the arcade on the 29th and supposedly Hi-Nu will show up in late Dec.
Not animated as said, but it got redesigned and released as a master grade this year and the new design is mean as all hell. Seeing it next Wing Gundam Zero is crazy, Wing is still my favorite redesign but I would say without doubt Epyon is the most badass of them all.
Heh, that's actually a good thing, in my opinion.
Blue Frame was something I was hoping to try out as soon as possible, and was willing to do what was necessary in order to unlock him.
Of course, it's interesting how this game doesn't force you to unlock shit in this matter. Wish some other mainstream fighting games would take that kind of hint already...

All of the units were already unlocked which is why they didn't have something for finishing Arcade mode.
Where are you located Astery? The connection between you and me wasn't bad or you, me and a few Japanese players but that Chinese player with the red connection made the game chug like crazy.

Ooh boy, I'm guessing us Westerners are going to get dropped by Japanese players.
Don't worry, we can do Seattle-Vancouver gamedays. =)

When I started reading this thread (for the first time a few minutes ago), I got really excited and wanted to get the game. Then I watched some videos and realized I have no idea what the hell is going on, and how any of that could be considered "tournament-worthy". I'm not doubting that it is, I just don't understand.
Also, what's the difference between the Asian and Japanese version? I used to be a Gundam nerd, but it's been more than a few years.

Packaging, and Chinese/English instruction inserts, as well as lack of CERO rating.
This game has had its own major national tournament in Japan for years now, Premium Dogfight. Basically it's all new to you right now, but this game is very very deep, and is a different beast altogether from the traditional fighters.

Playing SDGO to take my mind off of not having EXVS for awhile. It's a somewhat decent alternative for now. ;__;

Dragon mode IS what made Epyon cool!

Dunno, the feet/dragon heads never did it for me.
Same. That mega beam saber though was fuckin amazing.

So on a slightly different note, they had to scale the graphics back just a little for the game. The most obvious thing I noticed was changing Virsago's Triplesonic Cannon from a translucent Bloodred to a generic DBZ yellow ki attack color. It's a shame, that attack is really scary to see coming at you too.

Wow, that makes this is the second Namco System 357 game to be downgraded when ported to PS3. It's not sub-HD like Tekken 6 is it?
Shouta
Member
It's 720p according to the back of the box.
I think the 357 hardware is accelerated compared to the PS3 so they had to scale it back just a little to make it all work well. For example, replays don't have the 4 player split screen view of battle, just the field and individual views.
Oh and on that note, replays are very nice in this. They save a lot of them for you to watch (I suspect the last 100 or so) and you can download replays based on the unit you want. You can lock your favorite replays as well.

Is that from the arcade version then? D: That blows if it's just a generic yellow beam.
I'm from Hong Kong. Lol.
That dude probably has a slow Internet connection or a ISP that is great for locals but bad for overseas connection, or that he lives in mainland china, which has shitty connections to overseas in general.

If it's a blood red beam, then that's the arcade version of Virsago's Cannon. The Arcade version totally nailed the coloring for it, was kind of epic.
Ah, that makes sense then.

That's weird they'd change the megasonic cannon though. But at least dogfight replays are still in! Do you check them out in the briefing room then?
You can't fully compare the 2 though. One is more fight-y and one is more shoot-y. They're both highly competitive in their own right but in completely different ways.
Shouta

The Triplesonic Cannon effects are really, really nice in the arcade. It actually causes a little bit of slowdown if you land it on someone as I recall. So I suspect that it was a little intensive on the machine and did the simple thing and change the coloring.
And yes, the replays are in the briefing room.
