Every single goddamn time it's the same bullshit. God forbid Bandai try new things, people immediately start crying "it doesn't look like Gundam"
Keep making freak suits, new settings. I want to see what COOL NEW SHIT people can make. Gundam can't be limited to one aesthetic.
What REAL gundam fans wanted actually:
A game that isn't fucking terrible.
What gundam fans might be getting for the first time this decade:
A game that isn't fucking terrible
Step 1) Run as MP in by-election.
2) Win by-election. Step down as Mayor.
3) Campaign as new Labour Leader because the current one is terrible.
4) Win Leadership Challenge. Become PM.
5) Change nothing from old, terrible leader.
6) Lose everything?
This appears to be the plan.
Hmm, Gundam fans upset over the design from the new game cos it doesn't feel like Gundam.
Feels a lot like the same conversation we had last year over GQuuuuuux, huh?
...on an unrelated note, the GQux mecha designer won a prestigious award for their designs! Isn't that nice?
Big 2026 and people are still knocked on their ass when Gundam does something new as if the franchise hasn't been taking wild ass swings since G Gundam
The design element that's standing out for the Gundam Helix is how much boosters and verniers are hidden in the legs and how they all unfold at once for mobility.
Almost of like the Gustav Karl, with style. I like it.
while I do agree it barely looks like Gundam, I also have to ask myself- isn't that the entire point of a long running franchise?
To find ways to reinvent itself?
Keep things fresh and not play always in the comfort zone?
It's a big gamble and it's too early to call the hand IMO
Is Rogue Orbit very “Gundam”-like? Debatable. But am I happy Bandai is finally investing in a Gundam game that’s not a mobile game or F2P gacha? Very much so. I think the antagonists are going to go the route of the Vagans from AGE where they appear as otherworldly invaders but are actually a suffering sympathetic faction of humanity. And hopefully not something like the ELS.
Not gonna lie, from the images it was giving Armored Core. Does feel a bit like an original IP with Gundam stamped on but its so good to see a Gundam game with fun gameplay and a new AU.
I have high hopes
