how was the actual meat and potatoes gameplay of 3? i get that the main appeal is being able to custom build your dream mobile suit, but personally i'd need it attached to good gameplay and the gameplay in that video isn't giving me strong vibes one way or the other

GB3 is basically a Dynasty Warriors title where you can build and customize your own unit. It's not the deepest gameplay in the world but the sheer amount of customization options helped carry that because you could build all kinds of stupid poo poo that was actually reflected in gameplay.

I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?



I'm about nearing the end of GB3 myself and I made some really fun/stupid suits.

My current MS is basically every single missile launcher I can have strapped onto a 00Quanta-Sinanju hybrid using the Barbatos mace.
Unleash missile hell, go bonkers with the mace untill the missiles recharge and repeat.

I want to combine Aerial’s bit staves and a second set of bits, maybe the fin funnels.

If it's anything like GB3 you'll be able to have like five different sets on bits on one unit.

I wonder if they'll have Freedom stuff in at launch.

(Honestly I want a gimmick where you can make a gunpla explode from another gunpla Build Burning/Z'gok style.)

Most suits in GB3 had their bits on their backpacks, but the Kshatriya had them on its arms, making it a solid option for doubling up on drone-spam. Presumably, they'll be a shield part for the Aerial, making it another decent stackable option.

I think AGE-3 FX had leg mounted ones too.

I'll likely be grabbing the steam release, I can't imagine it performing well on switch, and I don't have a PS5.

But I too would love to see more IBO and WfM units.

And more Build units. Give me my Gyancelot parts!

You could do that in Breaker Mobile, so it's at least plausible this will do the same.

Gotta assume it's gonna include all the suits from breaker mobile, so there will be an absolute shitload of them

Also looks like you can have left/right arms from two different suits

Either they need to get someone other than Fukuda to do it, or they need to accept that it'll probably be another 15-20 years until they can mine this well again. I really hope they go the latter route because I would like it to be as long as possible until I have to hear more about CE, and I'd like them to focus on anything I could possibly enjoy first

Gripweed posted:

It looks very New Gundam Breaker and IIRC is on unreal engine. So I don't have high hopes but will still probably get it. However, I'm willing to give it a slight benefit of the doubt here because that SD Gundam Battle Alliance game played very similarly to a gundam breaker, and I imagine this will play a lot like that? So it's possible New will forever just be The Bad One.

Darth Walrus posted:

I don't believe so. Parts are only compatible with parts from the same model kit grade, so you can't have, say, a HG with massive PG arms.

I do remember this restricting suit/part choice a bit in GB3, where MG parts were the best you could get but were only available for certain suits (meaning that you had to stick with SEED, Wing, and UC stuff in the mid/lategame).

One, two, and three didn't have PG parts at all. and SD units were locked away as their own little support thing - you couldn't use them for your own personal unit. But you could freely mix HG and MG parts, my personal favorite build is to always put MG hygogg arms on everything. Almost every kit had an MG counterpart. Sometimes you had to craft them yourself or get them as drops. The little shop just usually only had purchasable IRL kits.

I think my biggest concern with this game is going to be the same thing I'm worried about with every modern game: how much monetization and DLC there will be.

I heard one of the released bits of info called it a sequel to 3 and Battlelogue, no mention of NGB at all.

The gameplay footage from the trailer looks pretty much like a jazzed up GB3 in all respects, so I have a feeling the plan is to memory hole the entire NGB fiasco and just go "wow it sure is weird there weren't any console gundam breaker games for a while huh?"

I'm entirely on board.

It looks basically identical to GB3 with new parts and some adjustments to the building from what they've shown which is pretty much what anyone would want.

Apparently they nuked the original site for New Gundam Breaker and now it just redirects to Gundam Breaker 4's page so yeah they're definitely shoving it in the memory hole(though they still have it up for sale for some reason)
