Back in 2012, that was the first time I watched "G-Saviour" on UA-cam. Personally, I liked it even if it's either canon, semi-canonical or non-canonical to the Late Universal Century timeline. Plus I kind of like the Late U.C. Gundam stories even more than the One Year War timeline, I mean Zeon's pretty much overused even if they're still popular.
its really sad that a lot of the late UC stories failed and were panned and as a result sunrise doesnt seem to have any interest in portaying that era. Especially since some of the most interesting designs were in late UC
The plot for this game is ripped straight from Armored Core seriously the final boss at the end there is basically Nineball and it’s pilot Hustler One. Who also ended up being an unmanned mech being controlled by an out of control AI which happens a lot in that series.
Based on what i saw in this video: i really like the mobile suit designs. Late UC is such a hard thing to come across in the US, and even though its not a really good story based on what i can tell, its certainly still fun! Thanks for sharing!
I would not be mad if Sunrise embraced G-Saviour and eventually did an animated remake OVA. The G-Saviour Gundam would definitely need a serious power upgrade, though. That far along in the UC timeline and the thing is as powerful as the Gundams from the OYW. What little it has is not nearly exciting enough for a Gundam by today's standards.
I don't necessarily think it would need a power upgrade. Technological progress does not always go down a straight line. It could be that as the old scientists and engineers pass away that a lot of our knowledge and experience in building mobile suits gets lost. If done right this could be an interesting part of the story. It could also help to keep a lot of the combat grounded compared to having suits that are near super robot territory IMO.
@@AzraelThanatoskit had a reissue iirc a couple of years back. It's not impossible but you can get it for cheap if you have the connections and luck (got my second one at a surplus shop, sealed and everything). If you do get one, be wary doing the sharpened v-fin thing, probably the most fragile part in a most sturdy kit.
21:50 From what I remember, the amount of HP you have really doesn't affect the fight. Raven's attacks do something like 75-100% per hit. One of the few times he landed a hit that didn't just kill me, I remember getting to the boss fight with 85%-ish health. I managed to sidestep one of his ramming charges and still getting grazed by it, leaving me with about 10% health. You get like 1-2 hits with this guy tops.
imo the voice acting reminds me of old PSX armored core voice acting, which I've come to love over time. They sound like Japanese VA's that recorded their lines in English, I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case (as that's what PSX AC did). This was also probably* before having a team dedicated to localizing dialogue became a thing.
I felt the same way with that final boss. @22:00 I've seen the ending of the game on youtube a few time so I forget if I really did beat it. The final form is too fast but I think I was able to trap it in a corner a few time for some hits. Good video.
Ahh G-Saviour. I always remember it sorta as a fever dream during the entire run time. Admittedly during a rewatch it wasn't really what I'd call horrible, just plain and forgettable. It was so far divorced from UC that it might as well have been in a standalone universe. Atleast it was a short ride and didn't waste my time with its mediocrity unlike with Gundam Wing and Gundam Seed (I regret those 100 episodes of Seed and Seed Destiny). Also with the mobile suit designs, all of them are designed by Kunio Okawara, which was also the main designer of every series thus far including Gundam Wing, X, and Seed. Okawara is rather iterative when it comes to designing suits, which was why the game had mechs resembling ZAFT and SRA units since those two shows came before and after this one. The mechs in the movie were also designed by Okawara, they just weren't translated well to CG. Check out the lineart.
Movie was just too ahead of it's time. The deliberate artificial food shortage isn't so outrageous as a political point now that "lower the prices of eggs" is a thing.
Saying no one is trying to dig it up is a bit rough there is a huge chunk of the community that would love nothing more than to see it brought back and redone right. Generally to consensus is that it was done dirty, the film is arguable trash but also pretty on par for films like this for the time, the novels are good the game was fun and the Mecha design is actually great with some of the ideas penned for this game and show going on to be common place in new Gundam media going forward. As the years move on it's gone from shunned to the underdog and Bandai should give it another shot!
For your sanity it might be best not to try to connect the two. But there is a G-Saviour manga if you want to go down that road. I don't think the two are connected though.

one interesting thing about the movie is that it Budget is Dirt cheap, the project cost about 200 mil Yen at the time

Fun fact Atheren Zala's vc in Gundam seed actually was in the G savior movie

Regarding the Australian level you can find old Zeon OYW Mobiles Suits in the map like Z'Goks or Zakus scattered about in the map.
And here I thought my time with this game was done. Might have to go back and take a look.

I played the game and watched the movie years ago...I've been hunting for the single model kit they'd made for it
Let me know if you ever succeed in finding one.
@@Mobilesuitk9 It's more of a price issue with the ones I have...not quite willing to pay a hundred for an old high grade

He really is a tough enemy on normal and hard. On easy he was a little difficult, but not that bad.

They don't talk about G-Saviour yet they made Gundam build fighters real. The live action school drama Gundam show.
build fighters is really cool
It's only cool if you're 12 years old
@@zentran2690 people that deny that controlling a plastic model is cool has some really heavy self confidence issues.

So this takes place during Gaia gear ?

After, because the federation no longer exists
@@kevinbaumhoer7359 no Gaia gear is in its own version of uc
Ubisoft!!!!??? 6:15
You caught that sooner than I thought it would take people to find 🤣
we need a history of armored core development. What just happened here.
Did this get an official eng release? and if it did was the difference between the japanese version?
Woah, I had no idea that the worst Gundam media somehow got a video game.
The character sucks a lot, plotholes, but fine to me
