    As always, I really appreciate yall's support!
    Just know that the Gundam content won't stop coming, even if there is more Dragon Ball being sprinkled in to prepare for Sparking Zero.
    These old Gundam games don't get enough love. Gundam Breaker 4 is right around the corner. Personally, I don't think it will capture the spirit of these older titles, but we'll surely be covering it.

    Very few ppl cover this game on youtube!
    Personally, I think this brings back memory a period of time when Bandai would make a whole game dedicated to a single show, which is something we simply don't see nowadays.
    For that alone it's worth experiencing. I just think the control schemes in this game doesn't really work well at portraying each suits' unique weaponry. It ends up feeling very "spammy" as you keep on using the same attacks most of the time. If we ever get a game with a mission based story mode that faithfully recreates the scenarios from the show, while giving us a control scheme more akin to A.C.E 3 or the gundam versus series where the distinctive weaponry of each suit is very pronounced, that'd be a dream come true.

    Maaaaaan this took me back! Back then (thanks to school) I could never watch Gundam Seed or catch it on TV... To make things worse my classmates would always play their Gundam Seed Battle Assault games on GBA and would never let me play...
    But I guess it was kind of a good thing, since I was able to pickup Neverending Tomorrow and beat it! So I got to play Gundam Seed and learn the story as well! Heck the library the game provides is pretty damn good when it comes to C.E stuff!

    Great video. I like the Cosmic Era for the most part, but the gameplay in this feels clunky and unintuitive, which prevents me from playing it a lot. A lot of things in this game feel unfinished and that might be because the game was rushed to be released before the end of Gundam SEED Destiny. I might go back to it one day for completion sake.
    If you are looking for a good C.E. game, I recommend Gundam Seed Destiny: Generation of CE, which was also released a month earlier than this one. Its in Japanese but I've beaten it twice. It's probably my favorite C.E. game.
    There's also Gundam Seed Destiny: Federation vs Zaft 2 Plus. It's full of content and the gameplay is stellar.

    While ive never played a lot of the well known good games like zeonic front or journey to jaburo (though i have recently found and bought them), I highly recommend trying and reviewing one of the PSP games. Gundam Assault Survive is frankly amazing for a psp game letting you play through a lot of key UC series as your own squad rather than the show's main cast. Youre even given a personality quiz at the beginning, the results of which giving you a free early mobile suit unlock like the rx-78-2. With many variations unlockable through development and progression like ace units such as Ramba Ral's Zaku I, or Haman's Gaza C. Many suits having other modes via pressing X and square at the same time like zeta transforming, but theres things i find hilarious like the magella being able to swap between tank mode and flying as the detached turret on and off like the most threatening magella tank ever, and the gundam using the g armor on its legs to fly and drop super napalm. Sorry about formatting and length as im on mobile, but i would be very happy to see a review on what i believe to be one of the best gundam games, or even just comments if anyone else has played assault survive and if they liked it or not, if they have any nostalgia for it like i do

    The reason SEED is so similar to the original anime is cos it's a pseudo retelling of it.
    The sequel series, SEED Destiny, keeps the trend by being like Zeta Gundam.
    The Stargazer movie wasn't a Chat's Counterattack analogue but the new SEED Freedom move IS apparently the SEED CCA. (Unsure, haven't watched it yet)

    I really don't get the decisions that led to that HUD design for this. Why have the radar big ring at the bottom and then still do a flat radar on the bottom left? Why keep that green range-of-fire box there all the time? Maybe reduce the size of the partner's image on the top right by about 25% so it doesn't take up so much precious real estate. It kinda sandbags on the immersive quality Encounters in Space had in exchange for really, really reminding you you're playing a SEED game.

    You're 100% on the nose when it comes to the gameplay taking an L once you enter melee combat as that was my biggest issue with the game (and the most cited problem people had in the day) as it ruined the flow of the missions. I eventually got fed up with it and made it a point to try and avoid close quarters combat unless I absolutely had no choice as missions were pretty fun otherwise and the inclusion of many units from the side stories/manga was really cool for the time. The SEED (and 00) Universe were pretty well known for having additional pieces of media to check out that expanded upon the main narrative and in the case of SEED, was considered better written.

    Pretty much mirrored my thoughts on this game. Gameplay's pretty good except for the Attack Mode thing. You actually can use your firearms in this mode though to switch things up, which is probably why it feels as clunky as it does.. Some MS use different weapons when you do this such as the Freedom using its railguns
    It should be noted that Never Ending Tomorrow uses clips from the original TV broadcast of the show, so it's gonna look a lil' offputting to some people more familiar with the DVD and HD Remaster releases.
    While Mission Mode does feature other characters from the show, half of the playable cast and extra units are from the Astray manga side stories

    I remember watching the first two or so episodes but didn't like it. The plot was too much of a copy of UC, while the designs were too outlandish for me. It all felt like a shallow rehash when I experienced it. Is the show worth watching? Did it age well? I was introduced to Gundam through Wing like most people my age, but Wing sure as hell didn't age good at all with that extra corny plot and cheesy dialogue (Epyon still looks god tier of course). G Gundam was surprisingly good in the last half of the show.

      I personally liked Seed. I agree the first half of the show is kind of a UC clone, but it starts diverging into its own thing near the middle. The last half of the show is actually really good. Overall I’d say it’s mid tier Gundam IMO. It’s aged better than Wing, but no where near something like the 08th Mobile Suit Team.
      The series is available on UA-cam for free right now under the official “GundamInfo” channel. It’s worth checking out if you have the time.

    • @marcosdheleno
      @marcosdheleno 4 місяці тому +3

      seed was meant to be a remake of the original series. kinda like a precursor to the origin. but as the budget for the series fell, they decided to make it its own thing.
      it does have many paralels to the uc, but that's not really saying much. for as many things it does similarly, it also has completely diferent aspects to it.
      like for example, the fact its a 1v4 in many ways its far closer to something like vifan than it is to 0079, kira is also not amuro. from personality to how he fights.
      as for the outlandish designs. that makes no sense to me. the most "outlandish" would be the aegis. which is an experimental space hit and run model. and, contrary to the vast majorities of transformable machines in the entire franchise. the aegis cannot fly in atmosphere. the strike itself is very similar to a mix of the original rx78 with the gp01 and the victory(or better yet, the formula 90 which was itself a retelling of the 0079 but poorly done).
