Gundam EXVS MaxiBoost On (MBON) announced for PS4, also coming to US/EU
- Thread starter KoolAid
- Start date
So how good is this game exactly? As much as I love Gundam anime, Rise from the Ashes was the only game that I've ever really enjoyed. So if the hype is real, I might be down.
Lupus Rex (and Maxter) was dangled for people to get into EXVS2 lol
A legitimately good game even if you didn't specifically like Gundam.
This is great news. Hopefully it gets localized because Gundam Versus though not bad, it is nothing close to Gundam EXVS.
The series has been around for nearly 20 years at this point.
Excellent, thanks.
I've been on a gunpla hiatus since before the holidays despite buying some kits for my son and family. Matter of fact, haven't touched one since my calendar photo-shoot. This news plus that 40th anniversary video thing is pulling me back!

Really?? I skimmed through the thread and though only an EU release was on the cards. Awesome!
yes but exvs3 will have to be announced and out in arcade for a year or two.
pissed it took this long to get a ps4 release of mbon, i skipped versus too so been longing for some ex action
That more than likely got announced today, too.
Now the consoles are two iterations behind the arcades.
Better than most fighting games tbh. It's a legitimately great fighting game. Easy to grasp mechanics and execution and a lot of fun at all levels of play.
I don't think I'll ever get used to seeing GUNDAM in large English block letters, even after Bandai's attempts in the 00s with all the shows and toys and PS2 games. Katakana just looks more natural.
I'm sure that was worth letting Gundam Versus turn into a husk for EXVS2.
i am more than ok with this. the problem was having the console versions being a completely different game from what was in the arcades and split development. Id rather have an arcade version at home that was 2 iterations behind.
Also, who cares if its two iterations behind. You dont think they are going to give us the same game in the arcade do you? They don't want to cannibalize arcade sales.
After versus came out for PS4 I wasn't expecting them to bring over mbon since it had been so long but I'll take what I can get. All my ps3 stuff is in the garage so it's been a while since I've played
It just seemed like a missed opportunity to not wait a year and release MBON in 2018 on the PS4 alongside EXVS2 in the arcades.
So weird if they use the old artwork and not use any of the newer Gundam properties like Narrative, Thunderbolt or Hathaway's Flash.

There's no reason why they still can't add via DLC. We saw that with Full Boost getting Maxi Boost units for a decent clip. Even Versus was getting MBON units close to arcade release for DLC like Phantom Gundam and Hot Scramble.
Plus MBON already has Thunderbolt Full Armor Gundam, Atlas, Psycho Zaku, Xi and Penelope. Full Boost was way ahead of the curve with Hathaway's Flash units, haha.

Extreme Vs. Force came out in the US and had an English logo too, though YMMV on if you consider it a mainline game or not.
They did, they just crammed a bunch of anime shit in it to try and make it more marketable I guess.
Alright, I'll try it out!
2020 is gonna have me so broke!
They released a PS4 port of VO, VO:OT, and VO Force in November on the Japan shop. Uses the same great rollback code of the 360 VO:OT port
There was also some anime crossover VO game released some years earlier on PS4 too.
Basically the only meaningful difference is that Versus got review bombed on Amazon by bitter JP gundam fans and everyone took their opinion as fact.
It was still a great game and the most egregious issues were a handful of fan favorite suits missing, and a few universal system additions that pissed off hardcore fans.
MB and to a lesser extent MBON was dominated by melee cancer suits that had specific movement options that other suits did not have.
They basically added the 'Boost Dive' mechanic to GVS in order to homogenize that aspect, but it made the controls more unwieldy.
In a similar vein they also added the universal Striker system so that every unit could choose an assist unit, which had always been limited to specific units in previous releases.
I still personally think GVS was a better game than vanilla MB, but slightly worse than MBON.
EXVS 2 is where it's really at nowadays though.

Really crossing my fingers for a PC port with crossplay sometime down the line so I can force my friends to play this with me.
Still, fucking lovely news!

GVS ps4 a better game that Full Boost? I don't know what to say to that!
You read that wrong. Full Boost was one of the highs of the series, up there with Rengou vs Zaft II for me personally.
I was referring to vanilla Maxi Boost which was the one that felt broken with long range units being absolutely outclassed thanks to the accuracy changes and speed changes on most guns.
MBON fixed a lot of the issues with vanilla MB, but still had plenty of melee cancer suits.
GVS basically fell between those two for me, as melee cancer was still ridiculous thanks to the Boost Dive but at least everyone could use those mobility options to balance it out.
