AX09: VIZ Media Liveblog
Okay, VIZ’s panel doesn’t actually start for another ten minutes ish, but it looks like everyone thought they were going to start at 3 instead of 3:30, so they might start early, so I thought I’d get the liveblog going early. (I knew they were starting at 3:30, but I got here early ’cause I’m awesome like that. And because I’m trying to avoid Internet difficulties causing delays.)
Anyway, everyone’s sitting here just watching a collection of someone’s funny images folder on the big screen, which is actually proving rather fun. But I see the VIZ reps up at the panel, so hopefully theyll start soon!
Gundam Senki Preview Video
Wow, for those of you waiting for a Gundam game that takes place in the Universal Century and will feature 3rd person combat, then wait no more (well until the game is released.) Gundam Senki for the Playstation 3 will feature a revamped RX-78, which is the original Gundam we all know and love. Not only that, but this game will also feature a metric ton of original anime footage, created by Sunrise. This footage will also mend in with the actual gameplay as well; like a character’s head suddenly popping up on your screen complaining about how your soul is held down by gravity, for example.
The story is about an officer in command of the Earth Federation’s special unit called the Phantom Sweep Team. There job is to hunt down Zeon remnants at the end of the One Year War. Of course Zeon can never except defeat, so a unit of theirs called the Invincible Knights are launching a counteroffensive of their own.
The game is looking great so far, and hopefully its better than Crossfire, which was a PS3 launch title (and a POS as well.) Essentially, it’s like getting an OVA and a game in one package, so you can’t go wrong with that.
