On the one hand, to me, “mobile suits” should feel titanic and weighty, larger than life. So yet another Gundam zipping around like a demented chimpanzee on crack is… I dunno. Fighting space robot aliens is also a choice, since the man-vs-man and political background is a key part of what distinguishes Gundam.
On the other hand, a Gundam game in 2027, by Bandai-Namco, scored by Mick Gordon? That is such incredible levels of hype and I really, really hope that this is good.
I’m not familiar with the Gundam series, but I’ve seen the YouTube video of why Guillermo del Toro’s Pacific Rim works while the sequel does not, it feels like the people animating the promo should have as well. The gameplay looked better then the pre-rendered scenes, which should never really be a thing.

Yeah! Huge robots should feel like huge robots! They need to have heft behind them! I ask all excited though lol
You can have heft and speed. AC6 is my benchmark, and I’m not seeing that here.
The pile driver hits like a truck in AC6 and you can still put it on a spindly butterfly build that basically never stops boosting.
This whole trailer looks like a Monster Hunter reskin
