THE GUNDAM GAME WE NEED?! Gundam Breaker 4 Network TEST Impressions

[@ryouchiha6554]

I had no idea they were making GB4. I got heavy into GB3, even getting the break edition. I cant wait. I hope my favorites from G Gundam make a return.

[@jake120007]

so far it looks like GB4 has equal or more suits than GB3

[@kyakukid1]

​@jake120007 It has more suits including being able to customize more on your Gunpla. You also can use SD Gunpla's as playable Gunplas.

[@kyakukid1]

It's seems we're back in business. I hope they keep the import feature like the previous GB games.

[@MrJulio632]

8:50 you can change the FOV, for normal, lock and lobby camera, it's because the options were all in japanese

[@rifqihanief2909]

yep its all in japanese which requires trial and error for me to try out the right configuration xD

[@rifqihanief2909]

i really hope they change the way option parts cooldown works... it's probably my number 1 gripes with the game right now

[@KaiHyouookami]

I also commented this in Aoshisan's video but I feel like, aside from the absolutely silly idea of the global optional weapon cooldown, the only real issue I could end up having with the game is... how they seem to have gone out of their way to push you into dual-wielding melee. I can think of at least one alternative way to allow you use of the "strong attacks" of each weapon without needing to combo into it from an entirely different weapon: using the "back + weapon" command. My understanding of programming leads me to believe the Tackle button could also be used in a similar way. By which I mean it could function as a normal "strong attack button" when used during a weapon combo. It could even allow you to do finishers with optional melee weapons, which could be either cool or broken, depending on your perspective. But I don't know what kinda spaghetti code they're working with, so who knows if that's even possible.

I need a release date for this game already

So if I understand correctly for the extra/sub weapons are all linked together for a cool down? If so is the cool down the same, eg 5 sec, or for example if you use something like Vulcans the global cool down is 3 sec but if you use funnels the cool down now goes to 10 sec? I personally think it would be better to go back to individual cool downs. If they really want to balance just give stronger things a longer cool down or just a single use.

[@DoubleScoopTV]

feels like they've learnt nothing from New Gundam Breaker's failure with trying to restrict the player so much.

[@Yusei255]

They said the reason behind it was to stop certain option parts from being too overpowered.

[@RedWolfVion]

Yes, this was due to fear of the strength of certain optional parts I believe but we'll see!

[@muhammadihsanmohdghaus5339]

@@Yusei255 lol. Imagine they say that but then later gave us the hp sponges enemies that can one shot us. GB3 higher difficulty was very frustrating for the few early missions. Had to change the options and ex to prioritise full break so i can end them even when they have hp left. It was horrible. Lol.

[@KaiHyouookami]

@@RedWolfVion If you think about it, that makes very little sense. How does sending every single optional into a cooldown serve that purpose? Any other game would have individual cooldowns with high cooldows for the parts they're so afraid of. What they're ACTUALLY saying is that they don't want you to be able to chain different ranged optional parts (which sounds absurd, considering they still allow you to choose not to fire all your missile pods at once, for example). Or at least that's the only conclusion I can come to.

[@santobell]

I found the global cooldown on the option parts and the drop from the jump to be the most annoying. I think the cooldown timer if global needs to be tweaked. In GB3 many builds relied on option parts sometimes over primary gear. It restricts the creativity of builds in a Gunpla is Freedom type game. And I still wish they separated shoulders from arms and legs from waists. One thing I noticed and it may be a coincidence but the social hub area has the same textures, look and feel and the metaverse social spaces which bring me to think this game will at some point link into that social system.

[@RedWolfVion]

Aaah that would be quite neat actually lol

[@skv0ra]

Ok, fantastic! We're back to Breaker games being Breaker games, and this being on PC will open a plethora of mods and community support well past whenever Bandai pulls it from their stores eventually.

[@fluidwolf]

Honestly really excited for the game myself. But I got three big issues with what I have seen(didnt get to play the network test sadly) 1: First is the mentioned optional equipment cooldown. Using one sending them all into cooldown feels like it is going to negatively effect combo expression and just the fun of building a gundam with a huge optional arsenal. Especially since there are suits that have a lot of built in optionals like Full Armor Gundam which I feel will be held back by this set up. Also since using one optional puts them all on cooldown it will probably lead to a lot of players finding either the strongest or the one that is the most effective for the cooldown and using nothing but it. Having cooldowns for them seems fine enough imo but having one cut you off from them all feels overboard. 2: I feel that the EX all running off one meter might create a very similar issue honestly. The most cost effective ones will be the only ones seeing use because why waste shared meter on a less effective option. Though it doesn't have the cooldown issue the optionals have 3: Last thing is something I don't think many find an issue with but from what Ive seen the fact that a lot of the missions seem to be bloody palace style with you being ranked with every room and then teleported to the next to be ranked again. To me it creates a different feeling from previous entries and could make an atmosphere where it feels you have to be constantly competitive which I don't always enjoy. Using less effective options that are still fun is nice in the other games but this game it will give the experience of being slapped with a failing grade which feels discouraging.

[@dingo535]

Good stuff, I know this is kind of old at this point but this is great early coverage!

[@chaosgale123]

The gameplay you show us is very impressive thank you for the network test videos👍

[@RedWolfVion]

Thanks!

[@MrJulio632]

I played the test on PS4, the game runs like a dream, it not even once went to the jet engine mode

[@Yusei255]

Im glad rhe camera will be able to be zoomed out.

[@wanaan]

I think the melee looks a bit too floaty. But I think the shooting and thr mecha cuztomization are both looking great.

[@donavanbell4299]

I have one word to describe this: beautiful

[@watermelonpizza7824]

It really sucks that all of your option parts have a unified cooldown.

[@MrJhound4]

The universal Option Parts cooldown is dumb. If Option Parts share a cooldown, why would I bother having more than one? What incentive do I have to use different option parts if I just find one good one and then I have to wait for everything else to come back if I use any of them? It's crazy how all they had to do was enhance GB3 and yet they chose to hamstring players with asinine restrictions. More constructively, I would say, go back to GB3's systems and just BUILD off of those.

[@richtanner4879]

Different parts for different occasions

[@MrJhound4]

@@richtanner4879 Are the fights ever really different enough to warrant that?

[@bruticus1496]

@@MrJhound4ever try a full funnel build? It uses multiple options slots

[@MrJhound4]

@@bruticus1496 Yes. I have a Gundam with C Funnels and regular funnels in GB3. I know that there are separate gauges for each option part, that go into a cooldown when that option is expended. What I am saying is GB4 looks to have a cooldown gauge that makes all Option Parts unavailable when you use any of them, and that is no fun.

[@richtanner4879]

@@MrJhound4 it’s probly more fun to use more than not just the best option like using Vulcans to extend air combos or missle pods

better to play with controller or keyboard mouse?

between for the part leveling it is similar to gundam breaker 3 or gundam breaker mobile

they should really kept the options parts system from gb3

i don't remember it exist on psp. GB3 was also on the psvita.

Is it gonna be free? Cuz i dint see the whole i only saw which console will be released

No this game won't be free since it's part of the Gundam breaker series so I would assume it will be around $60 at launch maybe even $70

Zeonic front ? Crossfire? Gundam battle operations 1, side stories, ect ect But yeah they don't make weighty grunt war gundam games anymore, and mech warrior 5 had a gundam mod but it got abandoned
