Supposedly Namco Bandai only puts up digital store pages a week out from release.

New Gundam Breaker - Announced for PS4 - 2018
- Thread starter iFirez
- Start date
Cross posting from the Gundam OT, since I missed this thread.
Japanese players' complaints are spot on. Controls feel laggy, part switching on the field unnecessary, breaking boxes is not fun and the game has slowdowns even on the pro.
Huge disappointment after each of the previous game in the series being better than the previous one. Definitely not grabbing this one, at least not day 1.
I very strongly recommend anyone interested in buying the game on release to check out the beta:

Getting to the mission is simple enough and you can probably do it fairly easily even if you don't know Japanese.
The game starts with a tutorial, but looking at which buttons the game wants you to press in the tutorial window, should be enough to fumble your way through it.

I'm really disappointed at what they've done to Breaker and THIS is what they decided to officially bring to North America.
Not the case on Steam iirc, at least recently. Dark Souls Remastered, Little Witch Academina, Naruto Ulitmate Ninja Remastered all had Steam pages on the day of release rather than pages a few weeks/months beforehand or preorder pages like Ni No Kuni 2 & SAO Fatal Bullet did. I guess those are bigger games that warranted pre-orders better? I dunno
Good thing half the reason I want the game is to have assets to make Gundam mods with, if this is true.
Played through the beta. I've extensively played through Gundam Breaker 1, 2 and 3.
1. The controls feel totally different than the first three Gundam Breaker games, but I got used to them pretty quick.
2. I like that you have to break boxes this time around. I hate how in previous GB games opening item boxes was dependent on a button press that would sometimes cause something different to happen.
Yeah, I'm keeping my preorder, but I could see how this might not be fun for some who isn't hardcore into Gundam. So its like most Gundam games.

I'm really conflicted. I LOVED the stupid builds you could put together in GB3 and I'll miss that a lot. I was ready to accept what was different until I played the beta and the framerate shit the bed on top of everything else. I'm super bummed.
i just tried this demo.... FUCK THIS GAME. I'll just stick with GB3... I really wish NGB wouldnt come out here because this will just reinforce that they wont bring anymore gundam games because the ones they brought have sucked.
This game runs super poorly on the pro, i have no fucking idea how bad it must run on the ps4 normal. Lets all look forward to importing Gundam breaker 4 when thats announced because their New franchise is doggy doo doo.
Sad to hear the bad impression of the new game, but I'm still going to get the PC version whenever it comes out.
Well I'm buying this day 1 still because I love Gundam and to support Gundam on the west, so sad to see so many bad impressions specially when GB3 was so much fun
Just tried the demo and yeah the controls and movement feel sluggish, and there are slow downs and hiccups on the base PS4. I am liking the picking up pieces of other Mobile Suits and equipping them on the fly if even just to get a look at what they do and look like without having to back out of a mission and go back to the customizing menu. I'm picking this up day 1 on PC hopefully I can get the game running at 60fps brute forcing it with raw power of a 1080ti and 4770k.
I've never played a Breaker game before, and intended to go through it in co-op with my brother but with the impressions I'm hearing this isn't worth picking up at launch.
Am I better off buying Gundam Breaker 3?

If you can get the English language Southeast Asia version of Gundam Breaker 3 cheap, sure. Why not.
I was going to buy it on PSN and family share it.
Buying codes, Gundam Breaker 3 Break Edition is a little cheaper ($72 CAD) than New Gundam Breaker ($80).
I'll wait to see the reviews for New Gundam Breaker first, but I planned on picking up GB3 before this game was announced.
Do it, cant even look at NGB... its the second niche game i was looking forward to this year, and like the first also became a massive disappointment (DW9 was the other game :( )
Dark Souls Remastered wasn't even up until day of release IIRC.
A shame the new one sucks, just get GB3
heres a cool trailer showing off stuff
Thanks for the suggestion! DW9 still hurts. :(
It was on PSN for pre-order about a month prior to release with a kinda crappy pre-order theme. It just wasn't on Steam until release day, it was really odd.
I'm so mad that I'm probably going to end up buying this game anyway just because I love Gundam.
I get the feeling the game had a hard deadline for release and Namco Bandai was like "get it out by ____ or else. Just patch it later."
Then someone pointed out it was coming on PC and they were like "Oh fuck, we don't want our first Gundam game on PC to get blown the fuck out for being shit, delay it hard and make sure you include all the console patches on day one."

This is really sad. Mainly because most Breaker games (1 and 3) had various problems upon release, which were addressed in a very solid manner. BN definitely wants the franchise to do well and the fixes they announced only confirmed that.
Too bad they waited so long with the demo (I assume it wasn't ready, but still), since releasing it earlier might have meant a day 1 patch with the above fixes.

Amazon shipped my copy today.
Still working on Super Robot Wars X, but I'll try to put in some time this weekend. Bring it.

So I believe there are no review copies and/or embargo for this, right?
Looking forward to the impressions. If it's solid on PS4 I'm getting it sooner than waiting for PC.

ditto. Im rubbing my hands together like the birdman waiting for this.
I haven't seen any reviews online aside from Famitsu who didn't like it much.
If you know me from here and GAF, you know I love Gundam games good or bad. I have no problem taking one for the team.
Apparently the game has no multiplayer for the campaign and no difficulty settings. The only multiplayer is in the 3v3 mode.
This seems like a really big step back.

Hmm... I guess I'll be waiting for a little bit longer then.
Anyway, here's a launch trailer.
