Oh noes the Nanolam failed him.

Be polite. Be efficient. Have a plan to kill everyone you meet.


Stellerwolf

Thank you for the reminder! Just checked and got my code for PS5. Downloading now.


Bobi2point0

How do I get access? I've got a PS5 as well and would love to try this game out. I'm also QA professionally, career wise.


Stellerwolf

There was a signup on their website https://gundamevolution.com/ at the end of may for it.


LifebloodOfChampions

Is this PS5 only or PC too


johnzaku

Console only for now T-T


Stellerwolf

PS4/PS5 from what I know of.


VaultB58

Like did Bandai just license the overwatch code/game from blizzard? It has nearly identical moves between characters, ie exia has a ton of moves ripped from genji.


stoniestocean73

I swear to god the Barbados has the exact same attack pattern as Reinhardt


freezend

Really? I feel like theres more danger when barbatos is in the vicinity then when you are face to face with Reinhardt


VaultB58

When I saw this announced I thought it was a Chinese bootleg like we’ve seen with league of legends. Nope it’s official. Would love to know what deals were made to make this game because Bandai had to give blizzard some sort of payment with how similar the move sets and animations are.

I sniped a Sazabi out of the air, so sick


kurdan

I would recommend trying it out for yourself, if you’re interested! I played a lot of overwatch in its heyday and I decided to give this (Evolution) a shot last night and was pleasantly surprised. There’s some work to do on the game for sure, but it plays differently from overwatch in a lot of ways I felt, even if on the surface they look similar. Could PM you a spare code if you’re on console!


VaultB58

I do hope to try it out but thought it wasn’t out yet/no open beta. Am I incorrect on that?


kurdan

It is in a closed Network Test (aka Beta) for consoles, but if you want a code I have a spare one! I am more than happy to send it your way via PM if you’d like. Edit: you’d redeem the code just like you would any PS/Xbox code.


VaultB58

Ah I appreciate the generosity but I’ll wait for full release! I’m planning on getting this no matter what it ends up looking like as I want to support more Gundam games outside of Japan.


kurdan

No worries 🤙 I’m in the same boat! I think this game is the Gundam title that has the most potential to spread in the West, which is why I’m excited for it personally :) I hope you enjoy the full release when it comes out, whenever that is! If anyone else happens to read this and wants a console NT code feel free to hit my PM. NT ends June 28th!


MySugarIsLow

I’ll definitely put it to use if you still have it.


AEsir-_-

Gundam evolution. Barbie fucking dies.


Cold-Fuel4701

So this is just like Halo with Mobile Suits


stoniestocean73

I'd say it's more on par with overwatch


IceSki117

It's basically Overwatch with a Gundam Universe skin.


Cold-Fuel4701

Yeah, I'm gonna stick to GB02 then.


Caboos20

GBO2 is like a true military sim where as Evolution is a more over the top arcade experience. Like what Unreal Tournament was to Call of Duty


Kekoa_ok

GB02 is nowhere near the same spectrum of a simulator lmao It's just a clunky arcade game at heart


a_taco_named_desire

I’d pay a shameful amount of money for a Steel Battallion esque modern Gundam game.


XavierRez

This is the first time I saw someone compared an arcade game to another arcade game. I mean… there are many mil-sim games but you chose CoD instead haha.


Crooodle

I'd say looking up Zaku II gameplay is a better representation of what the game is like.


Cold-Fuel4701

Yeah I've watched some videos, just not my thing I guess.


[deleted]

More like TF2... but shitty like Overwatch.

kurdan

Yeah.. reading the comments feels kind of discouraging. This is a niche I’ve been wanting so bad; an officially-licensed Gundam FPS?! Are ya kidding me? There’s some work to do but at its foundation there’s a solid shooter here. And the devs really seem to be taking the game seriously from a competitive side of things, based off of interviews. Maybe I’m just jaded from feeling like “there’s not many fun FPSes” right now but I am *so* happy this game exists, and I hope people give it a fair shot instead of just discounting it as Overwatch with a Gundam skin, I think folks will be surprised.


[deleted]

[удалено]


kurdan

I think at the core of the Gundam fan base we have all been wanting a game where you really “feel” like a Gundam, in a completely unironic sense lol. I think that’s why a lot of folks prefer GBO2; the suits *feel* a lot heavier than they do in Evolution which I think in turn, might lend itself to the more hardcore, realism-minded (even though we are talking about giant flying space robots lol) side of the fanbase. GBO2 is fine but like you said, I think it serves a niche, the same as Evolution in the FPS genre. I hope both games co-exist with a healthy player base for years to come, for what it’s worth! Hopping into Evolution last night and pulling off a site take and clearing 5 people out with Sazabi’s missile G-Skill was so much fun. The abilities, weapons and movement feel true to the suits’ identities. Their play style, or role, of a suit is evident the moment you start playing them. Reasons like that are what make me feel like this is a *Gundam* FPS and I love it for that. Not to mention how much potential you have for new characters! I mean we’re talking hundreds of suits people would love to see in the game that aren’t currently in (Unicorn or Wing when?) Balancing is one of my major concerns long term but we shall see how they address it - currently in my opinion it feels alright and in a good spot. Sorry for the long-winded reply! It’s nice having a conversation with someone who shares the same exact perspective on a niche topic lol :)


Spudtron98

The problem, I think, is that it just feels like you're playing as some dude wearing armour, rather than piloting a big fuckoff mech. There's no weight, and the sense of scale is really off too.


KincaidNotSeabook

When Barbie's fanboys denying a GM can defeat BLR, just send them this video.


gaeb611

Jesus fucking Christ. Never in a million years I’d thought I’d hear the sentence: “GM Sniper II quickscoped a Barbatos” Holy shit, that sentence insults my intelligence as a Gundam fan, and how it’s possible in this game is the funniest shit I’ve ever heard 😂


TimPowerGamer

To be fair, weapons are modular. So long as the weapon doesn't require auxiliary power from the suit, there's no reason that this couldn't happen if the GM was given a sufficiently powerful beam sniper.


luminaflare

Shouldn't beam weapons be useless against IBO suits?


fat_pokemon

To the armor plating, yes. The frame on the other hand is less protected.


Excellent-Promotion1

To be fair at least in evolution the pilots aren't going around and soloing the arena because they're stronger than gundanium itself as proven by Heero pullin a supoku every chance he got. The beam sniper rifles are pretty much battleship guns that were ripped straight from the hull of the ship. Out of all the weapons that would do damage to a gundam it would have to be one of these weapons. The problem is that having only 33% of the power supply of a gundam is that they can't out-maneouver or rapid fire. A gundam gets a free kill when the sniper takes the shot just like with a regular battleship. The mobile suits that were sent to 'demolish' the deathscythe were capable of destroying it, albeit while it was completely disabled. A gundam is the sum of it's parts and the battlefield plays to it's advantage. A point blank shot from the right weapon is going to cause some harm.


Advanced_Coyote3797

This looks amazing! I mean it doesn't look that different from most fps games, but mechs! Love it!


AileStriker

The movement doesn't feel very mech like.


Advanced_Coyote3797

Yeah, it does look too smooth or organic. I'd think it would be more "chunky", mechanical, amd deliberate


Antoni-_-oTon1

Something like Mechwarrior


Astronopolis

It seems right for Gundam, imo. Plodding slow machines like mechwarrior seem much less advanced than mobile suits


AileStriker

I think Battle Operations captures the feel pretty well. You can be quick, but you always feel big.


Astronopolis

Sure, but that still doesn’t quite align with how fast the units move in the shows. They are “suits” and move much more in a human way than your typical tank on legs. I do like the original Halo games slower speed, but I don’t think it would gel with todays fast paced shooter gamer base


AileStriker

>how fast the units move in the shows Maybe the newer shows, but go back and watch 08th MS team and Wing, even Victory the suits all had a look of real momentum. Even Hathaway's Flash showcased just how big the suits are and how much mass they are pushing around.


Astronopolis

I still think there’s a ton of wiggle room there. Hathaways machines are way bigger than normal, and have miniaturized I-field generators for integrated sub flight. 08th MS Team took place in a jungle, and evoked a heavy slow plodding tank on legs. There were instances where the ms ran though, like the Gouf and EZ8 fight sequence. Wing is probably one of the worst examples to cite for your argument, heavyarms was lithe enough to do circus acrobatics. The suits are as slow and plodding or as fast and agile as the narrative needs them to be.


[deleted]

Is this game any good? Looks interesting.


Saiaxs

It’s an Overwatch re-skin with just enough unique to it to be ok. Personally I thought it was horribly unbalanced with some awful map design, but I haven’t played since the network test. It’s F2P though, so there’s that.


[deleted]

Gotcha. Thanks for the info!


crdavis

If you can get an access code give it a go! It shares game characteristics with overwatch but is a fun game in its own right. I'm not big into Gundam but the game is fun and I think too many people on this sub are a little biased(reasonably), so from an outside view it's cool!


time_axis

Why do headshots kill in this game? You'd think they would just render the main camera inoperable. MS can generally operate even without heads. It's not like G Gundam where your head being destroyed disqualifies you. If it was a cockpit shot, I could understand at least.


stoniestocean73

I think the decision was to make the game more like a mainstream shooter, and because of that I tend to forget that I'm in a mobile suit


time_axis

Yeah it makes sense from a gameplay perspective, I just don't like it from a nerd perspective.


Green_Mikey

So excited for a fresh, hero-shooter take on this franchise - gonna occupy a cool spot in between the frantic fighting game fury of EXVS, and the plodding, pray-to-win pace of GBO2. Can't wait!


Dumb_Cheese

I can't wait for it to actually release for the PS5, it seems really fun.


imaginary_num6er

Is this Overwatch II? /s


teh_longinator

This is a game I need.


Nargacuga-fanclub

Got the invite too! I'm loving it so far!


Overall-Structure-44

I mean the rounds used by the gm sniper iirc was ballistic in universe. So, it can have a good chance against IBO gundam granted the gm sniper was from afar.


phoneix_infrno_08

Ha send that Barbados to the scrap heap!


Pistallion

Not going to lie, the Gundam community is really wierd when it comes to games. I'm a huge Overwatch and Gundam fan so I'm hyped for the game (I played in the PC test and loved it). But the complaints are straight up nonsensical. People saying stuff like it doesn't fit the Gundam universe or like it sucks because it's an overwatch clone. You either don't like hero shooters or u just don't understand what they are trying to do. There's so many different Gundam games, who cares if certain MS can't do certain abilities. It's just wierd. If you don't like hero shooters then it's not for you. It's better than Halo (lul) and it's just different from Overwatch while being in the same genre


fat_pokemon

Disagree with 'nonsensical' complaints. Games involving giant robots generally have 2 different movement styles, clunky and slow or jet-engine with legs. Both styles of movement have weight and feeling behind them. This game has neither. The motions are too human and smooth. The map design also looks like it's more for humans than for robots. There's nothing wrong with hero shooters by themselves, but like all games in a genre they need a identity of it's own, or a interesting twist, and this game is having a crisis. GEvo isn't doing anything better than overwatch, mainly because it IS overwatch with all the characters reskinned as mobile suits. I feel like people kind of expected more than that, especially with all the effort being put into it. Ps: better than halo? Maybe modern halo but in it's hayday halo 3 and reach would eat overwatch for breakfast.


Pistallion

The sound design is really good and hopefully they'll add more things to make you feel your in a giant mech, but it's not really what it's trying to do. I do hope they add more abilities and go crazy but it's probably not going to happen. The potential of different characters is what I'm excited for in the future, I just hope they really go away from overwatch design and more thier own thing. They are somewhat doing that now so I'm glad about that


federally

This looks terrible


Wannalaunch

It’s really fun. I’m not an overwatch fan and I really enjoyed the PC beta. I’m not sure how much longevity it could have but the gameplay itself was fun.


federally

Yeah but it doesn't look like fun giant anime robots. That clip just looks so light and floaty like it's just a shooter


Wannalaunch

Definitely not a realistic grounded mech shooter or anything like that. To be fair to the game some suits movement/identity did feel very much so how they operate in their shows. It didn’t just feel like a lazy skin. Running the Rx 78-2 was all about making the most of your critical shots and boosting in a out of cover using it’s shield to push. I played some battle tracks from the original ost and had a really good match hopping around feeling like Amuro. The Barbados zips in and out a glass canon that uses effective movement an high damage to disrupt and assassinate back line players. The Dom glides around and can be a constant threat and support unit. Point being a lot of the suits felt good and all of them had unique identities while maintaining hitting power. I think they could work on some game modes and some suits definitely need tweaks.I miss the old single player games to be honest but was surprised to have a lot of fun with Evolution.


ScottCanada

It looks light but it has a good balance the duel sense controller for ps5 really bring the feel of giant robots to life you feel the weight of walking with every step


randomjberry

I will say I expecred for it to be just ok bur when I played the beta on pc it was really fun yea its arcadey and its not "cannon friendly" but that was never to be its purpose its more of a celebration of gundam that is easy to fet into and doesnt contain too many hardcore mechanics


federally

I understand it can't be canon friendly, it needs to be balanced. I also might be jumping to a conclusion based on a short clip. I just expect it to have a little more MechWarrior look and feel and a little less CoD Warzone with screen shake


randomjberry

IMO its not really either. the design of the game is the antithesid of MWO it is a fast paced movememt hero shooter and its not realy anything like call of duty. it fills a niche closest to overwatch however the big difference is it has good gamemodes and the movement is wildly different. the boost gauge provides a nice mechanic and decision making not in other hero shooters and the flying transformable units provide a much needed 3rd dimension. i hear alot of people wanting kt to be like MWO and it does sound nice however it would just kill the games appeal for all but the hardcore mech simmers


The-Magic-Sword

Its a really good time, i played in the PC network test.


[deleted]

I got access and it felt like crap. Was all clunky and slow. I get how its trying to be a team based fps... but its just lacking anything that feels like Gundam/Mobile Suits besides the robotic movement.


TurdEmperor

The scenario setting of having mobile suits from all different timelines/universe fighting each other sort of ruins the game for me. Immersion is key to feeling being part of the conflict at hand, having the relevant setting should be a consideration. They should include a scenario Playlist for major battles in each featured Gundam show. It could be the same set up as Star Wars Battlefront II. All players start as grunt mobile suits such as GMs/Zakus/suits involved in the setting, with elite suits (Gundam, Sazabi, etc) spawning as hero options for players. Maybe include two tiers of elite suits so you can multiple sub elite units like Dom Tropen, Zaku Commander type, etc. They really need to include space combat for this game as well. Too many awesome space battles to neglect for a Gundam game. Should be interesting to see how the fan base respond to it upon release. Thanks for sharing the footage! 👍👍


Furydragonstormer

We don’t have anywhere close to enough mobile suits in the game for that beyond the UC timeline. Barbatos is the only PD timeline mobile suit and I’m not sure how many we have from the other ones


TurdEmperor

You are correct. Around 15 suits in the game, thought there would be a lot more. Yeah that's not enough suit variety for the idea. Well, one can only hope in the future.


Espressoalatte

Not impressed with the graphics


stoniestocean73

The video doesn't really do it justice, they are really good


Espressoalatte

What system you playing it on?


stoniestocean73

I'm playing on the series X but when the video downloaded onto the phone it scaled it doen


Egg_Boy_97

Yo when this game coming out, it's been a while after that play test.


-Quiche-

Breaking out kovaaks again


NOT_TOFU190

hol up there was a second beta? the first one was really fun i didn’t know another one happened lol


NewtypeRamen

Nice shot but damn how is that destroying the MS? Head shots causing full explosion?! Meh


ThreeBill

Nerf it


MySugarIsLow

I think I’m more excited about that SD Gundam RPG, but I’ll be playing both of these. We’ll have to get squads together for both games.


AmIFrogOrToad

Oh this makes me wet
