Finally pre-ordered the US version. Weekends until launch are set!

Also some recorded loads of gameplay over the weekend. Here's some with Guison and Atlas:





Currently uploading Zaku Amazing now.

Game is pre-ordered finally.
... and now I see I need to clear up space on my hard drive for the weekend access.

Edit: Forgot I still had the JP and NA versions of Gundam Versus installed. That's an easy 50GB back.

I Tweeted at Bandai Namco USA over the weekend about a physical version of the game, but they're doing a good job ignoring me so I'm guessing digital only. That really sucks.

Here's a schedule of the open access times:
MBON_schedule.jpg


It starts and ends at the same time each session, so once you figure out what 5AM CEST is for you it will be the same. That also applies to this chart for the additional time for digital preorders, via the Japanese website:
unknown.png

Generally it lines up with the end of the 'open access' time in the first image for each session except for the two red highlighted items which are before that week's normal open session. That first red line is about 13 hours from the time of this post, which is still today if you're on the west side of the Atlantic (it's actually Midnight for me in Bermuda). The 2nd red line is the day before the final session. That means, for people who have preorders, they will have a whole 3 days of access 'today' and on the last session.

Bandai's dropped a pre-order trailer:



Same stuff as usual, but gives the dates of the Open Access in PDT. And like mentioned above, this weekend and the last weekend have 3 days of Open Access vs the normal 2 if you've preordered.

Do y'all think the Japanese physical version will have English text? Thinking about pre-ordering the Premium Sound Edition but if there's no English I'll just go digital on US PSN.

Based on the Open Access client which is essentially the whole game, the JP version will use your system settings for the language. I have the JP client and it displays the English version.

Despite what I was told, doesn't seem like I can record footage.

Or is it MP only? Edit: It is not =[

Time for more training.

Gonna try and Git Gud with Turn A. I usually stick to 2000-2500 suits just to not be a liability to my partner, but I wanna be solid at least a couple 3ks.

I've played about 5 hours of Gundam Versus and have maybe an acceptable understanding of how that game works, but this just seems like it's on another level.

Seriously, why do I see videos under the game but I can't record? Or is it streaming only? I can't just record footage to help advertise this game? Why tf not?

Or is it a JP only thing (as that's all I'm seeing I believe)?

It's mechanically less complicated than Versus without the boost dive and strikers, but it's faster and the arenas are nowhere near as big.

Streaming only. And when it streams from the PS4, you'll only get one track (the Crossbone one). Blame music licensing. All of us recording are using capture cards of the sort.

I've never streamed, can I archive it/save it to my PS4 after? Does it stay on YouTube? Is that a game by game basis and if so, does this allow it?

More than simply playing, I like editing little vids together. Sometimes that's part of my gameplay.

If the game allows Remote Play one thing that's also possible I did before, Remote Play to a PC and then simply record that with OBS or similar.

Don't know about youtube streaming (it should), but you can just grab your Twitch archives afterwards from the site. Or just remote play like everyone else is mentioning here. ^^

And here's some highlights I grabbed from yesterday:

I think I'll try to find time to download this and give it some play next weekend. I've always wanted to check out this series. In the meantime, I'll give the tier list a glance and see how my favorite mobile suits rank.

The PS4 is the extent of my recording know how. And only have a YT account. I'll give it a try.

Is the double weekend Fri and Sat or Sat and Sun? And does it kick in if I pre-order after it ends (meaning it re opens it right away or waits until next weekend)?

Aside from a few straight ass suits, a lot are relatively fun to play as regardless of tier considering how well BN have translated their signature moves from the anime/manga into the game.

Haha, just jump into the Gundamnation room whenever it comes online. A fair amount of beginners in there. :) Hopefully one of us posts here when it does.

Is it still up for the weekend?

If you've preordered, yes. It runs until 8:00PM PDT today.

As for the double weekend... the times are: Friday 8:00PM PDT to Sunday 8:00PM PDT. So 48 hours for pre-orders versus 24 for non-preorders. And yeah, it should recognize you've pre-ordered it and allow you to play for this current session if you do it now. Finally, there's no access to it outside of those times.

Wow, Reborns Gundam is the only S-tier! I'm a 00 diehard so I'm not complaining but whoa.

I might get this during a sale, I'm not going to play it online. I only played the PS2 and PSP games.

I think I'm gonna buy an arcade stick again. I sold my last stick before I moved overseas years back. I plan to move back to Japan, so I'd like to be more familiar with controls on a stick so I can segue back into it in the arcades more easily. Any recommendations for something good that works on PS4 and PC and will work on PS5 (if any company has made that kind of promise...)?

As Deathscythe, I had 3 wins in a row with a Heavyarms player and then they leave and I got whooped by a 10 win team =(.

Btw, thanks for the pre-order info. Did so and here I am playing again.

Zaku Amazing counter kills are the best.

Reborns is a complicated unit, but well worth the top tier action. TBF, most of the 00 units are really good to great across the board.

Dunno about being forward compatible as of yet, but the Razer Panthera is probably your best bet atm. There's always the Hori RAP line as well. I use an HRAP Kai whenever I decide to play stick with this game.

Buster Gundam feels really good to use. I'm surprised it only costs 1500. Too bad it's butt ugly. It looks like a bug.

There's no real word on PS5 compatibility but worst case I assume brook will have an adapter out in the future. They've been real good this gen.

Really any PS4 stick should be good to go. With Steam controller input stuff, it's very painless to use anything on PC too. Hori and Qanba are both good brands. If you got any questions you can always hit me up.

Maybe I'll go sorta budget side since I doubt I'll take this stick with me when I move. Anything good sub 100 usd?

There's something satisfying about using Red Astray RD and boosting in for those sweet melee combos. I'm a Deathscythe Hell type of guy, and Red Astray feels just as fast.

Ok so seeing "arcade port" and "arcade controls" got me looking at my fightstick that I put away after getting a Hitbox like it might need some love.

Does it control well with stick vs controller?

Yeah, it plays fine either or. Whatever you're best comfortable with. Some things are easier on controller such as charge shots, but it's not like it can't be done on arcade sticks considering its origin.

Has there been any news if this is coming to PC? I know we recently got gundam crossrays on PC and Breaker also came out there so I was wondering if I should hold off in hopes of a PC release
