    Surprise Surprise (not really)

    Now how long do we wait for a new series on PS4? And will it look truly PS4 worthy? Or will it be on Vita sensibilities and be a continuing multiplatform combo like this one?

    • Zeongundam

      Shaking my head. You try so hard to be disappointed. I bet your great at party’s (Not that anyone invites you)

      • http://k-hermann.deviantart.com/?rnrd airman4

        the rule of internet trolling is to be always disappointed

      • Budgiecat

        you read my thoughts wrong. The disappointed one is you, but thats expected from an evil pilot of a Zeon Gundam! Always looking for the negative in things, jumping the gun and misinterpreting..

        The fact of the matter is this was marketed earlier as a ‘mystery’ (you were not present at said last news article…pfft you were possibly raiding innocent civilians in your ugly anti Gundam mecha frankenstein hybrid of yours terrorizing poor civilian colonists), and I made the prediction to what this reveal would be back then which is exactly what it is, so hence my “surprise surprise!”

        Lastly, as we know, Banpresto a few years back was fully absorbed into Bandai Namco, and there was a time when the release of SRW OG 2nd was delayed for quite some time due toeither lack of resources or manpower, or simply the HD work on 2D sprites was taking up a considerable time.

        In any case, visa vi, PS4 hardware should be easier to develop for than the cell, and the jump from PS2 to PS3 for SRW wasnt all that grand. As with this particular series, the map board for SRW Z 2,2.2,3,3.2 etc, was simplified for PSP standards, but with 3.2 being on Vita/PS3 only, it wasnt brought back to original PS2 SRW Z sensibilities.
        So my concern is witha new console 10x more powerfuil than PS3 and easier to develop for, and now that they have more experience with HD development, will we see gameplay and graphics evolution on a noticable scale for the next series, or will it remain more or less the same.
        And will you continue to scowl and look down upon my comments with that evil glare that only a diabolical madman hell bend on world destruction through giant mecha control can do.
        time will tell…

        • Zeongundam

          Wow! TLDR…Have better things to do than read all that. Nice try though!

          • Budgiecat

            “better things to do” = raid and terrorize more innocent space colonists with your evil hybrid ZeonGundam!

    -No E7 or Gainer

    Really? That sucks.
    E7, Gainer and Turn A MADE the foundations of the Z Universe.
    Plus that cast list is rather disappointing. I mean, Gargantia? Not something like AO (even though the show sucked, it’s a perfect fit), Demonbane or RahXephon?

    You had Aoi and the rest of Team D talking about their ‘Sempais’ in Z3.1 which was a heavy hint that the original Dancougar team would be coming back, only to find out they aren’t?

    Plus there’s stuff about the Gravion crew not coming back, which is incredibly disappointing.

    Ugh. I really hope the OG stuff is good.

    • Zeongundam

      I agree some of the stuff they took out disapoints me. And I want Final Dancouga back damn it!

    • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

      I really have my hopes in the original, the better they are the most that I anticipate their inclusion in the og verse.

      I hate gainer so Im happy with that decision however I dont like Garganta neither.

  • fyi1191

    Gargantia woah…I guess they can fit in easily. Dimension travelling and stuff.

  • Harry Potter

    I’m ok with the Fullmetal Panic whats with gargantia xD it has pretty cute girls there though

  • Zeongundam

    Can’t wait! The burning mecha nerd within me is ready for April!

  • hoodsome

    No english localization?

  • César H. Sandoval
    • Seraphimbahamut

      Yeah though just one unit from that series. Don’t get me wrong Gargantia is one of my favorite animes ever but still.

      • César H. Sandoval

        The is just the first trailer, I’m sure they will reveal more stuff soon as they always do.

      • Harry Potter

        yeah there so lazy on making mecha unlike full metal panic

        • Seraphimbahamut

          Well Gargantia did not need that much mecha, it was not the point of the Anime. I just don’t think it belongs in this game. I would rather see Build Fighters or something great. (FYI Cross Ange is the Worst)

          • Å ulskis Reinaldas

            I would like to see Buddy Complex, Captain Earth, Fafner, Gundam AGE, Broken Blade, Vandread (I hope to see it very much), Muv luv, Zone of the enders, Patlabor, Zeorymer or even Domon with his Gundam instead of some series.

  • Dysisa

    There aren’t enough images of people throwing up on the whole internet to illustrate how I feel about Diebuster. At least Ichiro Mizuki looks cool as heck in the trailer.

  • Fruity_Rider

    I can’t wait to kill gods with Chirico again.

  • z_merquise

    And I still haven’t started playing the previous game. Jeez, this is like a reminder to me.

  • Casval

    Could have been a great oportunity to make a retail collection on PS4 (and the last one as a separate disc) like the Alpha series on PS2, but no…

    • http://twitter.com/GNPixie Lynx

      Alpha didn’t give you ports for the PS2. It was the original discs so you got Alpha 1 and Alpha Gaiden on PSX discs with Alpha 2 being a PS2 disc.

      It was also for Alpha 2 to catch people up. Alpha 3 wasn’t included.

      With the PS4, you can’t do that because no backwards compatibility.

      • Casval

        Making a straight port of each game is not that complicated.

  • OverlordZetta

    Surprised Diebuster’s never been in it, but I guess it was inevitable.

    Gargantia is a nifty addition, but I was hoping MJP might get in. Maybe someday.

    • https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingHeroTetsuya TetsuyaHikari

      Yeah, Diebuster is only getting in it cause they finally brought Noriko into the picture in Z3, heh.

      • http://twitter.com/SrTirano MrTyrant

        Double Inazuna kick!…or triple?

  • Raiyu

    Very pleased they added Laevatinn

  • Lelouch Vi Britannia

    After War Gundam X. Oh hell yeah.
    DX Gundam is awesome, and so is Garrod Ran.

  • https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingHeroTetsuya TetsuyaHikari

    Yay for Gundam X! Boo for no mention of King Gainer ;w;

  • https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingHeroTetsuya TetsuyaHikari

    I wonder how long the gaiden is supposed to be anyway. Dark Prison was a good 20 stages or so, iirc, but that was for the OG universe, so I hope they can at least give us that many stages for it. It’s nice to see Crowe again ;w;

    • Zeongundam

      Aside from that I hope Crowe and all the other cool protagonists and OG characters from the previous Z games show up in the actual game.

      • https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingHeroTetsuya TetsuyaHikari

        That would be neat.

        • Zeongundam

          The bad is with such a big cast I’ll have trouble making everyone fit into my team :P

          • https://www.youtube.com/user/GamingHeroTetsuya TetsuyaHikari

            I always have that trouble, especially in the Z series, haha. I’m going to be sad seeing the Z series come to a close in April though. Masou Kishin finished this year and now the Z series will be finishing in April with OG 3rd coming out later, possibly finishing that series off too (although, they still have a LOT of ground to cover…).

            I really hope this isn’t the end of their crossover titles though ;w;

            • Zeongundam

              I’m in denial about OG ever closing lol. Expecting to see J in the next one thanks to Dark Prison. Personally I would love to see the W originals but if they show up it’ll probably be the last one because they’re so OP

        • Mar Mar

          I want Ialdabaoth ><

    • http://twitter.com/GNPixie Lynx

      It’s 15 stages, strictly OG and takes place between Jigoku and Tengoku.

  • Vyse Legendaire

    Gundam X makes up for nearly any missing series….::cries tears of manliness::.

  • Harry Potter

    yes its not equarion evol!

    • ajca82

      Both are in so there could be a mugen punch combination attack

      • Harry Potter

        oh still ok to me

  • Hidayat246

    >>> Gargantia on the Verdurous Planet

    CHAMBERR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • MSJ

    INAZUMA DOUBLE KICK

    http://i.imgur.com/7Yb0zBH.png

    there’ll likely be some mention of Nonoriri too heh, also boo no E7

  • kabuo

    gaiden will be 15 level and its about z the first i don’t know if there would be anime or original or both but one certain things crow of z2 will be there
