E3 2017: Gundam Versus Boosts Into View with First English Gameplay Demo

Suit up

by Robert Ramsey Thu 15th Jun 2017

Gundam Versus appeared on Sony's E3 2017 livestream yesterday, and we got to see around 15 minutes of the English version in action. As far as Gundam fans are concerned, the game's starting to look like the real deal. Built from the ground up for PlayStation 4, the exclusive is stuffed with over 90 playable mobile suits - just check out how long it takes the Bandai Namco rep in the video to scroll through the suit select screen.

Gundam Versus is due out later this year in the West, but will you be hopping aboard? Get dibs on your favourite suit in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob if you're lazy) has been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s, when Tekken 2 introduced him to the incredible world of video games. He still takes his fighting games seriously, but RPGs are his true passion. The Witcher, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, he's played 'em all — a little too much, some might say.

It actually lacks a good amount of mobil suits that I love. G Gundam is apparently not included at all in this game so I don't know if I"ll buy this one. Disappointing.

Isn't Mechwarrior arriving on console next year? If so, I think that I'll wait.

@Hengist That's a weird conclusion to make, since they don't really have much in common at all.

@Hengist noice, it would be cool if they could port over mechwarrior online, feel like ot could have a cult following like world of tanks. But theres just to many controls to duplicate, they would have to use hat switches or utilize all the touchpad functions like warframe.
