Hey folks, just want to clarify one thing. When I refer to "the first 3 episodes", I'm referring to the OVA, which is 100% the way I would recommend watching Unicorn. Edit: And yes, my smoothbrain put a white PS4 when it should've been a PS3
Check out Another Century Episode It's From Soft Mecha Game BUT it's a crossover from different Mecha Animes from differing Genres Different sizes and all
I'm not surprised that the people behind Armored Core made a good Gundam game. I am however a bit annoyed that it never got ported to the west. Finding good Gundam games was a bit challenging for me, at least back then.
if we are being honest with ourselves. It still is. I still have yet to find another Gundam Game that plays as smooth and clean as this. Its disappointing.
Its not surprising that From Software made a damn good Gundam game due to the fact that they are creators of the Armored Core series. Its their bread and butter so of speak along with the soul games. Its just sucks that this game never got a western release, but that's Bandai Namco for yah.
Ah yes, the creator of Elden Ring, Dark Souls, Sekiro, and many mecha games including SIXTEEN Armored Core games make a good Gundam game? Wow, shocking. It's almost like they're master of mecha genre before they're known for souls games.
Looking at the release timelines and how differently AC5 and AC6 play, I wonder if AC6 is more properly considered a continuation of Unicorn than it is the original Armored Core line? I don't think AC5 had antelope the grasshopper dagger builds you can see in AC6, but a hyper kinetic lunatic knife to a mech fight is exactly the sort of madness that's right at home in Gundam.
These guys made Metal Wolf Chaos and make Armored Core, so they know mecha games. Why Bandai Namco doesn't just trust them with the license is beyond me.
Because Gundam doesn't sell well outside of japan, the US has a healthy enough market for it but not healthy enough to warrant development costs on big video games like this and Unicorn is the biggest Gundam Project because it was intended to be a series revival, and every episode is an hour long
@@Vanity0666 Moreso weird licensing issues as well. The reason we got all the SD Gundam stuff so easily was because Bandai charges less for using SD Gundam. Then there's the fact any Gundam games released here would use shitty MIDI renditions of the music only, whereas the Japanese versions would either get the actual music or have access to a Premium G Sound DLC like Cross Rays.
@@Vanity0666 It's because Bandai is poor at marketing. They should throw all their series on Netflix and let it have an international audience, not just the US. Instant success.
Fromsoft also made: - *Armored Core series* : their pre-Souls flagship series, Gran Turismo of mech game (the OG game was marketed as mech simulator, so yeah... lol) - *Frame Gride* : Fantasy-themed Armored Core Virtual-On-like mech game - *Murakumo: Renegade Mech Pursuit* : Rail-shooter mech game... kind of like Omega Boost (by Polyphony Digital, the Gran Turismo people) - *Metal Wolf Chaos* : -The President of the United States of America simulator- TPS mech game - *Another Century's Episode series* : mecha anime crossover Zone of the Enders-clone game, collabed with Super Robot Wars company (now part of Bandai Namco). Gundam Unicorn is most likely based on ACE games. - *Chromehounds* : full-on, realistic mech simulator focuses on strategy and teamwork (for multiplayer) - *Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor* : sh!tty f*cking ass kinect game they were forced to make by Capcom
I had this game, and I had fun. It was obvious they were trying to nail the feeling of the show, and they definitely did. Otherwise though, extremely barebones.
Were at a weird place now where the average person think's FromSoft's entire game library is just Demon Souls => Elden Ring when in reality they've made a whole King's Field Series, Metal Wolf Chao's, a couple random survival horror games with other weird games spread around and like 25 thousand Armored Core games. They aren't just those guy's who make Dark Souls, they're a full fledged dev studio with alot of history.
I think "FromSoft's entire game library is just Demon Souls => Elden Ring" undersells how uneducated a number of people are when it comes to Fromsoft games, given the number of non-souls games that came out between DeS and now, including this Gundam game, 3 Armored Core games, Sekiro (which some people convince themselves is totally a soulslike), a Monster Hunter spin-off, and Deracine.
Not only that, they have the nerve to talk about any game by putting the most popular product (dark souls) before the product they want to talk about (see king's field, armored core, echo ride, lost kingdom, etc). It's as if they consider them inferior and uninteresting to fromsoft's modern audience.
that's what happens when a niche studio isn't well known until 1 big hit, souls fans for the longest time didn't know what Armored Core even was until AC6

Haven't played this game, but it seems the gameplay's based from Another Century's Episode, another FROM game, a series I've played. It's basically an SRW action game, heavy mecha fanservice. Wanna see Gundams destroying enemies from other series like Macross, in an action game format? You should check that series out too. They have cool opening movies too.
@@clxwncrxwnI see, have you played it? I'm kinda curious if it's different from the cubic environment combat found in ACE games, since that was the impression I got here. I can see the clashes, what else did they add? Edit: added "since that was the impression I got here"
People just now finding out about Another Centuries Episode, absolute gem back in the day. AC6 isn’t that great of an Armored Core game in my opinion but it’s getting a lot of people to discover great mecha games like this, SRW, Hardcore Mecha, Metal Wolf Chaos, as well as new titles like Mecha Break And the new slave zero.
Yeah I think that is intentional by design Because when 4th gen and 5th gen Most people can’t get into it because it is too complicated for the beginner like building your AC and how to pilot effectively etc. it just put newcomers off. When 5th gen came out I see the reaction from my friends that love mecha media they thought it is too complicated for them . And so don’t buy the game. But AC6 This one is intentionally simplified both from the gameplay and stats+ parts There are a lot of extra parts missing like radiator, side boost, main boost, or shoulder inside parts missiles that shoot from your shoulder like AC5. I think they will add all the stuff a little bit by bit in the later sequel Or new generations
If only they made this but with most of the other gundam arcs as well.. I would literally cry cause then they finally made a good gundam game and it wasn’t made 5 years ago
Yeah this Game along with "Another century Episode" Series was peak Mecha Fan service. I don't recall what happenned between Bandai Namco and From Software as we never got a sequal to close out the remaining Chapters of Unicorn. Maybe development of "Demon souls" curtailed that. They instead went with BBstudios for their future Gundam releases as they already had the battle operation series and Battlefield Record Engine. It's with hope or cope that From revist the Gundam universe cos this was definitely peak Gundam which after looking at AC6 woulda been excellent with a PVP mode or Co-op Mode. Funnily enough Gundam MODs have appeared on PC versions of AC6
They also made Another Century Episode series which was a mashup of multiple mech anime, kinda sad it died with ACE R, and possibly no hope to get localized due to being a licensing nightmare(especially Macross/Robotech thing). Gundam series is under Bandai Namco and From mostly get published by Bandai Namco, it's really stupid how they don't let them make another gundam game instead of another mobile gacha thing. They're shooting themselves in the foot. Heck just revive the Gundam Breaker series but with Armored Core depth.
I get that the title of this video is meant to catch people's attention, but I can't get over that this wasn't "the armored core company made a gundam game"
This wasn't even the first time FromSoft had made a game with Gundam in it. Another Century's Episode was a series that played just like this, only it was a crossover of a bunch of mecha franchise, including Macross/Robotech, Nadesico, Dragonar, SPT Layzner, Eureka Seven, Code Geass, and a bunch of different Gundam series.
I am currently playing through Brave Saga (a Japan-only spin-off of the Super Robot Wars series which itself is almost exclusively Japan-only) and the only English I've come across so far is "Save Game/Load Game" my brother in Christ, if it has giant robots I will overcome the language barrier to play it 😂
If you liked Unicorn you will love Another Century Episode R. It combines different mechs and characters from different shows (from Macross to Gundam, Full Metal Panic, Aquarion, etc) and it plays great. More importantly is that the nailed the feel and specifics of each mech meaning that you will have all the play style of using a each distinct mech, all the accurate weapons for each, and any transformation abilities between them if they have it. And it was also developed by From Software.
You would be surprised. They also made several Crossover Mecha Action games. Another Century's Episode series (partnering with Banpresto). The action counterpart to Super Robot Wars by Banpresto.
Remember when the game came out, I was SO excited for it to come west side... cause the game play looked like everything I could ever want in a gundam game! only it never game state side and was majorly disappointed and getting one from overseas was a pain in the ass...
The real question is, why ONLY ONE Gundam game? They even make a crossover mecha game called Another Centiry Episode, a full flesh series, but only one Gundam game, weird.
This Gundam unicorn gameplay actually similar with "Another Century Episode", another mecha game that fromsoft made beside armored core They keep polish it until this smooth in Gundam Unicorn
I bought the Collectors Edition of this at a game expo last summer and I haven't really put a whole lot of time into it since I got it. There are the other ones on the PS3 I look forward to your input when you get to them.
I'm surprised there wasn't a reference to Armored Core in the video, considering how From Software was more known for those games than what people are now most familiar with them for.
Fromsoft didnt just make armored core and gundam games. They also were responsible for the ACE series which was basically a mega crossover of a lot of major anime mecha franchises. Think super robot wars if it was an action game rather than a tactical rpg.
The one I have on my old PS3 CHECHA model which isn't region locked is the Another Century's Episode R. It's a collection of mecha games come together in a single plot to return to defeat a mysterious enemy and return to their separate worlds. Practically half the mecha are Gundam. The sheer amount of mecha and pilots there were an insane amount to level. There was one problem: because the JP Store was unavailable to me, there was a bug that made a specific mission's cutscenes completely unskippable, which were very long and intersected with EVERY storyline. The fix was on the JP servers I just couldn't install it. It's still a fun title if you can figure your way around it.
When I was younger my uncle (who kept insisting that I learn French & other languages )would come over on holidays claiming to have some rare version of a classic game complete with booth leg cover art. And when he was setting it up he would purposely change the in game language 😅. It worked so well that my brother & I were forced to adapt to the game language even going as far as renting French language books from the library so we could understand the words. Back in 2002 MGS was the turning point for me. Because that game wasn’t translated properly but we were so invested in the game that after school I ask my teachers about words and phrases. Not knowing I was actively learning the language in full force. Then one day (I’m not sure when it happened) but it just clicked. I started reading the French version of everything first before reading the English.
This is like the spiritual successor to journey to jaburo for ps2. It even has the team building idea from Zeonic front. I just wish Battle ops 2 was this visually appealing.
Feels a bit like the Gundam Dynasty Warriors games with those melee clashes, except Dynasty Warriors is pulled down by Earth's gravity, even when the stage is in space. Another Gundam game this reminds me of is Gundam Battle Universe from PSP. Set in UC, from Amuro's time all the way to F91, but no Unicorn because it was released before Unicorn. It's an awesome game with lots of replay value as you can choose any suits you unlocked for any scenario, unless incompatible with terrain. There's also a bunch of endgame stages where you're fighting all Gundams in the game. It starts easy, but you need to be careful because the last ones will screw you if you're facing them already battered; S, Ex-S, 4 types of Nu, Xi and Penelope together, and then F91. Also, when playing through games with Japanese menus, I sometimes use Google Translate App's camera mode. It's tedious and far from accurate, but it helps with simple words.
Great video. This game looks amazing. I've yet to play a Gundam game but I've always wanted to. I look forward to hoppin on this game soon. Thanx for the upload, Bruh!
So, Breaker 3 Break Edition next? I feel like it's a surprisingly easily accessible game even without english dubbing thanks to everything being subtitled. Also worth mentioning that From has a long history with the Gundam franchise thanks to games like Another Century's Episode.
If you count Another Century's Episode (which contain a lot of different anime mecha including gundams) they've been totally killing it for a long time. I highly recommend atleast the first 3 Another Century's Episode games to anyone who loves being an OP mecha protagonist....especially 3! Surprisingly Another Century's Episode 3 was released on the PS2 some months after Armored Core 4 released for the PS3. You may find somethings looking familiar if you play them both.
I've noticed that some of the animations were directly lifted from this game and used in Armored Core 6. It's not surprising that FromSoft would reuse their assets such as animations or weapons, but I'm surprised how seamless these animations work in completely different games and still look as satistfying as they are.
It's criminal that Bandai isn't commissioning more Gundam games by FromSoft. From has Armored Core, but what I want is a game with the story of Gundam, the Gameplay of Armored Core 4, and the customization of Gundam Breaker.
Never seen or heard of this channel before. But NOW subscribed! Looking forward solid content like this. I've got plenty to watch through in the meantime.
When this game came out I think Fromsoftware had made at least 13 Armored Core games including spin offs so I think it’s safe to say they were experienced with the mecha genre
I wonder how much of Armored Core's (FromSoft's own in-house mecha IP, for those unaware) DNA there is in this title. Interesting that this exists alongside that series.
I can just imagine how good the Kshatriya missions are. That MS is such a beast and it sucks that the western release games that treat it right are rare
I have a ligit question!! Does this game have a translation to English pack yet? Like can I mod my PS2 to have this readable in English or has no one done that for this game yet!?
Nope, not that I'm aware of. Some folks have mentioned being able to use google to translate screens to make some things, like settings menus, more accessible. I hope some day that someone does this though!
I think you should have mentioned that it's the first 3 episodes of the OVA series of Gundam Unicorn which was 7 episodes long. A TV version was released a couple of years after it ended which divided the OVA into 22 episodes with some added scenes.
I would like to try this, but honestly your one complaint about it might be what keeps me from doing so LOL; it's not even a matter of only being half of the story and wanting more in my case as it is knowing what mechs show up in that latter half of the series... fighting that one Zeon remnant dragon mech I can't remember the name of would be sick but fighting or more ideally using the Delta Plus and Rozen Zulu along with the two best iterations of the Unicorn Gundam in the Banshee (both forms are equally valid in my opinion) and particularly the Full Armour Unicorn Gundam would be absolutely euphoric level fun XD
This isn't the only Gundam game they've made. Fromsoft has made several, and all of them are not just very different from one another, but very good in their own regard.
I remember getting the limited edition of this game when it came out hope they do a remaster of it and continue the story and give us the remaster of another century's games and give us a new game
HA! Fromsoft also did a series of mecha games called A.C.E (Another Centuries Episode). I think there’s 4 games. It’s a "WHAT IF" scenario, of what if they put just about every mecha universe into one game.
Bamco should make a 3rd person action game based on the Super Robot Wars OG ip, with Banpresto taking care of the art direction/writing and From Software taking care of the gameplay.
Fucking WHAAAT? I thought this was gunna be a video makin a joke about Armored Core 6, but From ACTUALLY made a Gundam game? AND IT ISN'T AVAILABLE IN THE WEST!? What is happening here? Edit: yup. I am butthurt. This looks amazing! I want it...... sadge. I am slowly falling in love with the ReZel mobile suits. They are just so damn cool, even if mass produced. The ReZel defensor a-type or wtf-ever it is just looks so damn awesome.
Oh man, this has elements of both 0081 on PS3 and even Pilots Locus from Gamecube. I had meant to pick up up long ago, but now I'm going to actively hunt this down.
Unicorn is a bit weird for me. I'd forgotten I'd watched it until it came up in another video. All I can remember is a bit of the first episode, and that everything was resolved with magic or something at the end. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the show, I watched the whole thing after all, but I completely failed to carve out a spot in my memory. I didn't even remember that Fat Char was in it until he came up in this video. Nor did I remember that Fat Char was called "Full Frontal."
I've been meaning to play this one. It honestly looks incredible and as a fan of armored core (who never touched other FromSoft games) I expect this to be high quality, so I am definitely going to try it out soon. If there's one thing that really solidified this to me though as a from soft game made with care is a bit silly; the beam swords in this game actually bend like they do in the animations! They always tend to put realistic details into their games, and U.C. has shown multiple times that (unless the plot calls for it or theres a animation error) beam sabers are a liquid due to it being just a jet of energy; so it's nice to see from soft considered this, That alone tells me enough on how much care the devs put into this.
It’s shocking that From Software make Gundam Games! I grew up in the 1990s & it’s surprising of the different Medias that one doesn’t know about coming out of Japan before the advent of the Internet! All I knew was Armored Core from From Software! This is incredible!
We need a Gundam game like this, with a pilot character creator, semi open world, so you can explore locations with your character like space stations, various colonies, jungles, etc as well as upgrades and customizations for Mobile Suits.... Imagine a Mobile Suit engineering mode with parts from every Mobile suit in Gundam history so you can design your own iconic suit?!
this game gameplay looks like another century episode series. specially ace 3 the final. i love when its in space map, our gundam can rotate 360 degree and upside down. nice game
Shiro Akuma! Aka The White Devil!! This was the name Zeon troops called the RX-78-2 Gundam! In every UC era, this is the main nickname the enemy has called the Gundam. It brought terror to Zeon. So it is fitting Marda call the Unicorn Gundam this name.
The unicorn game was pretty good. But when it comes to anime mech games I liked their ACE (Another century episode) more. Should try it for sure if you haven't. Aside from that and armored core. Chromehounds was probably my favorite mech pvp game they made.
The only flaw this game have its not the language barrier but for using exclusive Unicorn Timeline only, there plenty great Gundam timeline they can adopt and they choose Unicorn? The OVA who only Gundam hardcore understand it.
This game and Another Century Episode 3 : The Final in PS2 era are the best single player game that can capture the atmosphere of gundam or other mecha universe

They've been making Armored Core games loooong before their soulsborne games, so it's very natural that they can make good mecha games😊
They also made Another Century Episode series which was a mashup of multiple mech anime, kinda sad it died with ACE R, and possibly no hope to get localized due to being a licensing nightmare(especially Macross/Robotech thing).
Gundam series is under Bandai Namco and From mostly get published by Bandai Namco, it's really stupid how they don't let them make another gundam game instead of another mobile gacha thing. They're shooting themselves in the foot. Heck just revive the Gundam Breaker series but with Armored Core depth.
And the cherry on top is Armored Core 6 "copied" Gundam VS mechanics like fast-charging on the ground and melee cancel boost (from Extreme VS)
@@iMoevious I kinda thought melee cancelling into boost was already in Another Century Episode 3
@@hrgaming4plebs570 well, i forgor about that one i guess 💀
@@iMoevious yeah never being localized makes it forgettable
I get that the title of this video is meant to catch people's attention, but I can't get over that this wasn't "the armored core company made a gundam game"
Well they did the Another Century series after all
This wasn't even the first time FromSoft had made a game with Gundam in it.
Another Century's Episode was a series that played just like this, only it was a crossover of a bunch of mecha franchise, including Macross/Robotech, Nadesico, Dragonar, SPT Layzner, Eureka Seven, Code Geass, and a bunch of different Gundam series.
I am currently playing through Brave Saga (a Japan-only spin-off of the Super Robot Wars series which itself is almost exclusively Japan-only) and the only English I've come across so far is "Save Game/Load Game" my brother in Christ, if it has giant robots I will overcome the language barrier to play it 😂
breaking news: creators of 16 masterpiece mecha games makes another mecha game and it's good.
If you liked Unicorn you will love Another Century Episode R. It combines different mechs and characters from different shows (from Macross to Gundam, Full Metal Panic, Aquarion, etc) and it plays great. More importantly is that the nailed the feel and specifics of each mech meaning that you will have all the play style of using a each distinct mech, all the accurate weapons for each, and any transformation abilities between them if they have it.
And it was also developed by From Software.
We need a AAA Gundam game
You would be surprised. They also made several Crossover Mecha Action games. Another Century's Episode series (partnering with Banpresto). The action counterpart to Super Robot Wars by Banpresto.
Remember when the game came out, I was SO excited for it to come west side... cause the game play looked like everything I could ever want in a gundam game! only it never game state side and was majorly disappointed and getting one from overseas was a pain in the ass...
The real question is, why ONLY ONE Gundam game? They even make a crossover mecha game called Another Centiry Episode, a full flesh series, but only one Gundam game, weird.
I'm listening to this while painting a Sinanju MG.
It is good to know about this game, I guess I'll emulate it in the future.
This Gundam unicorn gameplay actually similar with "Another Century Episode", another mecha game that fromsoft made beside armored core
They keep polish it until this smooth in Gundam Unicorn
LOBE the Gundam unicorn! Great story AND music!! Gonna did this one out, thx!
THE ELDEN RING PEOPLE?!
Nani the faku?
You made Michael Zaku sad
I bought the Collectors Edition of this at a game expo last summer and I haven't really put a whole lot of time into it since I got it. There are the other ones on the PS3 I look forward to your input when you get to them.
0:30 this ain't no PS3 fam
@@MstreEnsin No, no it isn't lol
Man. This looks incredible! I have to try this out now.
I'm surprised there wasn't a reference to Armored Core in the video, considering how From Software was more known for those games than what people are now most familiar with them for.
I wish Macross would get the same treatment.
Fromsoft didnt just make armored core and gundam games. They also were responsible for the ACE series which was basically a mega crossover of a lot of major anime mecha franchises. Think super robot wars if it was an action game rather than a tactical rpg.
The one I have on my old PS3 CHECHA model which isn't region locked is the Another Century's Episode R. It's a collection of mecha games come together in a single plot to return to defeat a mysterious enemy and return to their separate worlds. Practically half the mecha are Gundam. The sheer amount of mecha and pilots there were an insane amount to level. There was one problem: because the JP Store was unavailable to me, there was a bug that made a specific mission's cutscenes completely unskippable, which were very long and intersected with EVERY storyline. The fix was on the JP servers I just couldn't install it. It's still a fun title if you can figure your way around it.
When I was younger my uncle (who kept insisting that I learn French & other languages )would come over on holidays claiming to have some rare version of a classic game complete with booth leg cover art. And when he was setting it up he would purposely change the in game language 😅. It worked so well that my brother & I were forced to adapt to the game language even going as far as renting French language books from the library so we could understand the words. Back in 2002 MGS was the turning point for me. Because that game wasn’t translated properly but we were so invested in the game that after school I ask my teachers about words and phrases. Not knowing I was actively learning the language in full force.
Then one day (I’m not sure when it happened) but it just clicked. I started reading the French version of everything first before reading the English.
This is like the spiritual successor to journey to jaburo for ps2. It even has the team building idea from Zeonic front. I just wish Battle ops 2 was this visually appealing.
Feels a bit like the Gundam Dynasty Warriors games with those melee clashes, except Dynasty Warriors is pulled down by Earth's gravity, even when the stage is in space.
Another Gundam game this reminds me of is Gundam Battle Universe from PSP. Set in UC, from Amuro's time all the way to F91, but no Unicorn because it was released before Unicorn. It's an awesome game with lots of replay value as you can choose any suits you unlocked for any scenario, unless incompatible with terrain. There's also a bunch of endgame stages where you're fighting all Gundams in the game. It starts easy, but you need to be careful because the last ones will screw you if you're facing them already battered; S, Ex-S, 4 types of Nu, Xi and Penelope together, and then F91.
Also, when playing through games with Japanese menus, I sometimes use Google Translate App's camera mode. It's tedious and far from accurate, but it helps with simple words.
Great video. This game looks amazing. I've yet to play a Gundam game but I've always wanted to. I look forward to hoppin on this game soon. Thanx for the upload, Bruh!
That sword clash should return in AC6 damn. looks cool.
So, Breaker 3 Break Edition next?
I feel like it's a surprisingly easily accessible game even without english dubbing thanks to everything being subtitled.
Also worth mentioning that From has a long history with the Gundam franchise thanks to games like Another Century's Episode.
If you count Another Century's Episode (which contain a lot of different anime mecha including gundams) they've been totally killing it for a long time. I highly recommend atleast the first 3 Another Century's Episode games to anyone who loves being an OP mecha protagonist....especially 3! Surprisingly Another Century's Episode 3 was released on the PS2 some months after Armored Core 4 released for the PS3. You may find somethings looking familiar if you play them both.
I've noticed that some of the animations were directly lifted from this game and used in Armored Core 6.
It's not surprising that FromSoft would reuse their assets such as animations or weapons, but I'm surprised how seamless these animations work in completely different games and still look as satistfying as they are.
It's criminal that Bandai isn't commissioning more Gundam games by FromSoft. From has Armored Core, but what I want is a game with the story of Gundam, the Gameplay of Armored Core 4, and the customization of Gundam Breaker.
If i were able to play this game, i will absolutely spam the Beam Magnum just to hear that sweet sound of it firing
Never seen or heard of this channel before. But NOW subscribed! Looking forward solid content like this. I've got plenty to watch through in the meantime.
Appreciate it! ❤️
FROMSOFT NEEDS TO MAKE ANOTHER MODERN GEN GUNDAM GAME THIS LOOKS SOOOO GOOD
Try Armored Core 6. It's fantastic.
I remember this game. I bought it off Amazon and had a blast playing it despite not understanding anything.
When this game came out I think Fromsoftware had made at least 13 Armored Core games including spin offs so I think it’s safe to say they were experienced with the mecha genre
I wonder how much of Armored Core's (FromSoft's own in-house mecha IP, for those unaware) DNA there is in this title. Interesting that this exists alongside that series.
Not much, but this game is basically built on their another mecha series "Another Century's Episode"
Close to none. It's like DMC versus Call of Duty. Both games have guns and melee attacks but very different approaches to gameplay.
If you forgot, FromSoftware also made Another Century series. Before Soul and Elden Ring, FromSoftware made mecha games.
I can just imagine how good the Kshatriya missions are. That MS is such a beast and it sucks that the western release games that treat it right are rare
I have a ligit question!! Does this game have a translation to English pack yet? Like can I mod my PS2 to have this readable in English or has no one done that for this game yet!?
Nope, not that I'm aware of.
Some folks have mentioned being able to use google to translate screens to make some things, like settings menus, more accessible.
I hope some day that someone does this though!
@@JarboeGaming Damn...I was a split second to buying this. For the price, I just can't spend it without experiencing everything
Correction, From Soft made Gundam Game with super Robots Isekai theme in ACE Another Century Episode
Gameplay reminds me of the mecha crossover game series that Fromsoftware made called A.C.E (Another Century Episode)
I think you should have mentioned that it's the first 3 episodes of the OVA series of Gundam Unicorn which was 7 episodes long. A TV version was released a couple of years after it ended which divided the OVA into 22 episodes with some added scenes.
Yeah I definitely should have, just pinned a comment to clarify, thanks!
I would like to try this, but honestly your one complaint about it might be what keeps me from doing so LOL; it's not even a matter of only being half of the story and wanting more in my case as it is knowing what mechs show up in that latter half of the series... fighting that one Zeon remnant dragon mech I can't remember the name of would be sick but fighting or more ideally using the Delta Plus and Rozen Zulu along with the two best iterations of the Unicorn Gundam in the Banshee (both forms are equally valid in my opinion) and particularly the Full Armour Unicorn Gundam would be absolutely euphoric level fun XD
Unicorn is my favorite series, absolutely it's a mainstay on my radar.
I did an image search for the Char stand in and wasn't disappointed.
This isn't the only Gundam game they've made. Fromsoft has made several, and all of them are not just very different from one another, but very good in their own regard.
I still yearn the day of a Another Century Episode remake/remaster
I remember getting the limited edition of this game when it came out hope they do a remaster of it and continue the story and give us the remaster of another century's games and give us a new game
HA! Fromsoft also did a series of mecha games called A.C.E (Another Centuries Episode). I think there’s 4 games. It’s a "WHAT IF" scenario, of what if they put just about every mecha universe into one game.
Bamco should make a 3rd person action game based on the Super Robot Wars OG ip, with Banpresto taking care of the art direction/writing and From Software taking care of the gameplay.
That beam magnum sound effect sounds VERY similar to Omega Boost missiles firing.
Look up "Another Century's Episode" Gundam games. They had Ps2 & PS3 versions. Those were Japanese gems right there I wish came to the US.
They have this habit of keeping good Gundam games in Japan and sending over pure trash instead then think that Gundam isn't well-seen in the West.
Custome mode sounds like the versus mode from “Encounters in Space”. Sounds like a great game. So many good games never got ported over.
Fucking WHAAAT? I thought this was gunna be a video makin a joke about Armored Core 6, but From ACTUALLY made a Gundam game? AND IT ISN'T AVAILABLE IN THE WEST!? What is happening here?
Edit: yup. I am butthurt. This looks amazing! I want it...... sadge.
I am slowly falling in love with the ReZel mobile suits. They are just so damn cool, even if mass produced. The ReZel defensor a-type or wtf-ever it is just looks so damn awesome.
If Namco Bandai decide to localise this even today, they'll make a lot of money.
Oh man, this has elements of both 0081 on PS3 and even Pilots Locus from Gamecube. I had meant to pick up up long ago, but now I'm going to actively hunt this down.
This game was the only way i knew how to watch some of the unicorn series without relying on renting each episode on xbox live.
I might have to give this a go. I'm excited for Gundam Breaker 4 that just got announced, but all I really want is a new Dynasty Warriors Gundam game.
Unicorn is a bit weird for me. I'd forgotten I'd watched it until it came up in another video. All I can remember is a bit of the first episode, and that everything was resolved with magic or something at the end.
I'm pretty sure I enjoyed the show, I watched the whole thing after all, but I completely failed to carve out a spot in my memory.
I didn't even remember that Fat Char was in it until he came up in this video. Nor did I remember that Fat Char was called "Full Frontal."
I've been meaning to play this one. It honestly looks incredible and as a fan of armored core (who never touched other FromSoft games) I expect this to be high quality, so I am definitely going to try it out soon. If there's one thing that really solidified this to me though as a from soft game made with care is a bit silly; the beam swords in this game actually bend like they do in the animations! They always tend to put realistic details into their games, and U.C. has shown multiple times that (unless the plot calls for it or theres a animation error) beam sabers are a liquid due to it being just a jet of energy; so it's nice to see from soft considered this, That alone tells me enough on how much care the devs put into this.
Doesn't FromSoft make the Armored Core games?
Yeah so no wonder they nailed it.
Yes they do.
It’s shocking that From Software make Gundam Games! I grew up in the 1990s & it’s surprising of the different Medias that one doesn’t know about coming out of Japan before the advent of the Internet! All I knew was Armored Core from From Software! This is incredible!
We need a Gundam game like this, with a pilot character creator, semi open world, so you can explore locations with your character like space stations, various colonies, jungles, etc as well as upgrades and customizations for Mobile Suits....
Imagine a Mobile Suit engineering mode with parts from every Mobile suit in Gundam history so you can design your own iconic suit?!
Yeah some sort of Gundam RPG like this would be a dream game!
They started their career making gundam games awesome that they brought it back
It seems you haven't reviewed any of the Another Century's Episodes yet... I believe you will be quite surprised
this game gameplay looks like another century episode series. specially ace 3 the final. i love when its in space map, our gundam can rotate 360 degree and upside down. nice game
Gundam vs Zeta Gundam was another banger for the PS2 that never got translated, as was Battlefield Record UC 0081 for PS3
considering they did armored core 6 and it was a banger I would really love it if they made a new Gundam game
This is exactly how I played my fave gundam games back in 2010 on modded psp, battle universe
Had no idea what’s being said but menu was easy to figure out I still have them memorized
Shiro Akuma! Aka The White Devil!! This was the name Zeon troops called the RX-78-2 Gundam! In every UC era, this is the main nickname the enemy has called the Gundam. It brought terror to Zeon. So it is fitting Marda call the Unicorn Gundam this name.
Released for the PlayStation 3.
*shows a PS4*
Armored core was THE dark souls type difficulty game before dark souls was even a thing
Now try the Another Century's Episode games.
The unicorn game was pretty good. But when it comes to anime mech games I liked their ACE (Another century episode) more. Should try it for sure if you haven't. Aside from that and armored core. Chromehounds was probably my favorite mech pvp game they made.
The only flaw this game have its not the language barrier but for using exclusive Unicorn Timeline only, there plenty great Gundam timeline they can adopt and they choose Unicorn? The OVA who only Gundam hardcore understand it.
Another Century's Episode: Am I joke to you?
Holy the gameplay look so good
This game and Another Century Episode 3 : The Final in PS2 era are the best single player game that can capture the atmosphere of gundam or other mecha universe
Or armored core. I honestly wish gundam unicorn was released in the west, its one of my favorite gundams
I wish we had more Gundam games like Battlefield Record and this. Mission based shooters, now it's just Battle Operation 2 and VS series.
Check out Another century's episode 1,2,3 and R. All made by From software as well.
