  • Today, we're taking a look at Mobile Suit Gundam: Gundam vs Zeta Gundam. This 2004 PlayStation 2 title is absolutely enormous and a serious contender for the title of "Best Gundam Game Ever".
    The combination of enormous roster and fan service makes this one truly special.
    I mean, who wouldn't want to know how the story of Zeta Gundam would be altered if Lalah had survived the One Year War? Would Lalah and Char be able to stop the Titans with Kamille in the cockpit of the Zeta Gundam?
    Scenarios such as this make the title an absolute MUST PLAY for fans of Universal Century Gundam.

      @@CyberBullyOfficial In case you didn’t know Gundam extreme vs is an 2vs2 arcade fighting game series that still get new entries and constant updates
      it occasionally got a console port but it’s rare and the arcade version were only available in Japan so I won’t blame you if you don’t know about it.
      And I won’t even compare the two games together as Extreme vs is an arcade third person fighting game unlike AC6 which is mainly a third person shooter and actually had a singleplayer campaign

    I grew up with Zeon vs Federation as a teenager and it is what got me into watching Gundam series. This year I've been playing Gundam vs Zeta Gundam on my phone with a telescopic controller and I've almost finished the UC mode, which is quite a slog to get through due to the sheer amount of (repetitive) missions. That said, the game works surprisingly well as a mobile game considering how short each mission is. This series has its roots in arcade multiplayer which I think explains some of its shortcomings that you mentioned in your video. I've had to retry some of the hard missions a few times, but you easily accumulate tons of points to max out upgrades which make these fights much easier. It would be nice if more people were playing this game online as there is a custom server for it nowadays, especially if someone could rebalance the stats of the less competitive mobile suits.

    Gundam Vs. Zeta Gundam is such an incredible game. I loved it as a kid, even if I had never seen Zeta Gundam and didn't understand the story. What impressed me the most when I replayed the game as an adult is the wonderful animation used for all the mobile suits. The Zaku is my favorite, clunky and slow like an early MS would be. It looks so menacing as it rambles along with the heathawk drawn and ready to cut down some GMs. Overall the melee animations look really good too. I love that the Zaku I is restricted to hand to hand combat, the punches and kicks it delivers all feel so satisfying. You can really tell that this is a Capcom game.

    Content-wise, the variety of scenario was great, even if the gameplay wasn't that varied and yeah the friendly fire was mighty annoying.

    Capcom went all out on Gundam vs Zeta Gundam, I remember the original MSG: Federation vs Zeon and DX versions on Dreamcast as just straight up ports from the arcade version. There's so much value in this game that I find it hard to believe Hori didn't release a game specific arcade stick for it lol.
    All Gundam VS games have a "communications" buttons, if you're playing solo, it tells the AI partner how to play (aggressive, evade, concentrate on your target, concentrate on off target or default), if you're playing the arcade version with a friend/partner, the communications button will send status updates over to your partner every time your press it. Zeta Gunadm was actually the third arcade game I got into competitively in the local arcade scene with my sparring partner in 3S and CvS2. The most cheese team are two Hi-Zacks with the missile pods, they low costing MS and their tactic is easy; stunlock targets with machine gun, confirm stunlock and use missile pods for guaranteed damage, rinse and repeat lol.
    I actually prefer series specific VS games because there's much more variety in MS selection, the later VS games like Extreme, Full Boost and Maxiboost are all Gundam heavy with no hardly any grunt MS to choose and not much mono-eyes. Gundam Seed Rengou vs ZAFT is when the gameplay mechanic was probably perfected/super fine tuned as you can use your boost meter to block if you had a shield, melee combat flowed better and movement/mobile was made better.

I want to SEE the how and why Amuro joins the AEUG early (Being one of it's founding members even!) in the alternate scenario, Kamille in the Titans in ways outside of the gameplay, show us the attack that got his parents killed and his bonds with folk who, in the main and other timelines, would be his mortal enemies.
    Show us the Zeon Victorious in OYW Scenario along with the Federation Striking Back in 0087-88 beyond the blurbs! CCA Years Early Scenario (The Bleakest of the Timelines)!

    I believe this game was released around the time that Zeta Gundam was being released in the states with their 200 dollar dvd set that has the pencil sharpener MS and a sweet poster inside. Zeta Gundam took me nearly the entire 2000s to watch and collect on physical media and was satisfying when I finally finished the series.
    Great video as always. I never 100 percent completed my game by my save file of nearly 20 years still works to this day thankfully.

    I love the Gundam Vs. games. But my favorite is always going to be the SD G Generation series. I get to experience the game and make my dream team of mobile suits while learning about MS I'd have never learnt existed (pre-internet). Very specifically, I'm talking about the ones where you can choose the story you're going play through since the other games have an overarching story that blends series together (I have MS I like from said games, but I'm not too sold on the stories - I still like the idea of different tech from different shows interacting with each other).

    Here in LATAM Gundam isn't really popular and I got this game for PS2. It really helped me get into Gundam since it provided little info into the story that made me curious so it was what made me a fan of Gundam. Another nice touch is that it has a "museum" of mobile suits with little descriptions that also made me search more about the MS and their pilots. I spend hundreds of hours into this game after watching the anime when I came back to it. This really sold universal century since at that time I only knew Gundam Wing because of cartoon network

The audio is in japanese but all the menus are in english, plays like journey to jaburo but with alot of refinement.

    My favorite Gundam game is on the PSP. Gundam Battle Universe. Now it does not have the high quality gameplay of the Gundam vs Gundam series which is best with(or atleast the best console release) with Gundam Extreme Vs Maxiboost on.
    When it comes to the storyline, you can start at any of the timelines. So if you choose 0079 you'll be able to start as a Federation pilot with a GM or a Zeon pilot with a Zaku 2. 0079 includes missions 08th MS team. If you choose 0083, you start with either a federation pilot in a GM Custom or Delaz pilot with, some form of Gelgoog I don't remember which. 0087 you can start as either AEUG, Titans, or Axis and so on.
    If you start as a Federation pilot on 0079, once you get to 0083 you can swap allegiances and go to the Delaz fleet. So all the mobile suits you acquire on 0079 will stay with you and you'll have 0079 federation suits, 0083 zeon suits, and then whatever you move over to in 0087, 0088, 0093, and then the extra missions that do other UC series.
    There are more than 200 mobile suits and early on, movement does feel heavier, so it feels a bit closer to a Gundam more bound in realism. As you complete missions you upgrade your mobile suits in all statistics of your choice. Aiming, weapon shot speed, etc to each weapon indivudally, but then mobile suit movement speed, boosters, HP, etc.
    There is both land and space combat and it feels really good in both. There are a lot of missions that follow the storyline with some dialogue in the missions but much like the Federation vs Zeon or Gundam vs Zeta Gundam, aside from the dialogue and the mobile suits that you combat against, there's no storyline outside of combat so you do have to know the story of Gundam for this to really follow it. It's an amazing game if you don't like Gundam but it is an absolutely must own if you're a fan of Gundam, especially UC.
    It's the best gameplay the Gundam series has had except for two. Gundam vs Gundam/Gundam Extreme vs series has the best the series has ever had when it comes to ground combat. Battle Operations 2 has the best ground and space combat when it comes to any Gundam game bound in realism, for a free to play game it's absolutely amazing when it comes to combat but I don't like the rock, paper, scissors mobile suit requirement, doesn't matter how good you are when one suit always beats another.

    zero-G is kinda realistic.. without pressing your boost, you rotate around your center.
    your hitbox is dependent on the orientation, and your missiles have a parabolic arc... allowing you to aim from behind debris.
    you can actually command your ally to adopt a combat stance,
    its Normal, Close range, long range, assist or evade.
    Normal is they do their own thing.
    close range they use melee most of time.
    Long range is basically sniping.
    assist is they support fire on whomever you have targeted,
    evade is they stay away from combat only taking pot shots at the enemy.
    as for the recover mechanic, its not where you got hit... there's a mechanic for most mobile suits
    i set the bar to short but fast fill to keep triggering the recover boost.
    lets say Mk2, (i might have remembered this in reverse)
    first you lose your head, dropping your accuracy and losing your vulcans.
    then you lose your left arm, unable to reload your primary weapon.. leaving you with only a beam saber.
    i cant remember the specific of the others
    i think zeta is head or grenade launcher based on the main weapon then waverider parts reducing your MA mode speed and thrust gauge.
    Rx78 is head then left arm,mimicking the final battle of A baoa qu.
    Gms also the same.
    the only units immune to the loss of parts is Big Zam/elmeth.. as in you dont see any actual loss of parts.
    i did play AEUG vs TItans in the arcades.
    one guy kept challenging me and my friend... he used the zeta, i was a Mk2 user, my friend was hambrabi or ashimar main. being cheaper units, we managed to keep him from winning.
    final round, we decided to end his fun. we picked space and we went with twin balls...
    balls are very cheap... we could afford to die 5 times total. he only needed to die twice.
    balls also can snipe... press and hold down the target change button.
    balls reload very fast. so we kept dodging and sniping him.
    we finished it off with the manipulator attack

    GVSZG is honestly my favorite gundam game of all time, I grew up playing this on the ps2 and I probably sunk 100's of hours of my early childhood playing it trying to 100% this game. As much fun as the new VS games are I kinda wish they would return to the slower methodical pace of GVSZG. I feel like every move you made you had to be precise to get the best results out of your mobile suits.
    Also Fun Fact! If you have 2 players and you choose the G-DEFENSER and the [G] gundam with the 180mm Canon, you can ride the G-DEFENSER in Canon lockdown mode with the [G] Gundam and you have a makeshift AC-130 Gunship 🤣

    I always wanted to get into the Gihrens Greed games they seem like deep gundam grand strategy games that also have a lot of "What if" senarios. But they never got translated. Tho I hear their is a English guide to the games.

      It is definitely possible to play any of the Gihrens Greed games even if you don't understand Japanese. I can't read or speak one word of Japanese, but I learned to play the game through a lot of trial and error. The hardest thing is just figuring out what the menu buttons do since they are all in Japanese. There is a fan wiki that has translations of the menus. If you can figure out what the buttons do then you can start moving your forces around and building new units. If you have some familiarity with the timeline and characters of UC that will also help. The game is extremely hard and unforgiving. I have been playing it for over 10 years and even I am forced to restart campaigns sometimes if things get out of control. Don't feel bad about playing on easy or even very easy, the AI will totally cheat you on resources. Even if you push the Federation back to Jaburo and they have basically no income, they will still be building new units and trying to keep pace with your army. Besides the fan wiki with menu translations and guides for game events, there is also a fan made English translation patch but it is only completed for the Zeon campaign I believe.

    exvs gamese are fast but you need like a fuckton of button presses to move in a direction the correct way
    like, hold direction, press boost two times, release boost, press boost again to go up, release direction while you go up, release boost then hold direction again while descending. this only to move in a direction with a good boost management. They are incredibly clunky, if you count also things like charge partitioning, stepboost etc

    I personally prefer Federation vs Zeon because I like the campaign mode where you are playing as a regular mobile suit pilot instead of the heroes a lot more even though Zeta is my favorite UC series of those dubbed so far. Now a version with a campaign mode based on the Federation vs Zeta style and the UC mode separate would have been incredible.

      ​@@JarboeGaming In my opinion, the first one has a better, more prominent story, mainly due to the fact that characters are split up into teams. This allows for some expected team-up, like Amuro (Zeta) and Quattro, or some completely unexpected pairings that surprisingly work well like Elpeo Ple, Domon Kasshu, and Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft or Master Asia, Heero Yuy, and Jerid Messa. The interactions between the characters are what really make the game stand out more than its sequels.

    I actually prefer Federation vs Zeon over Gundam vs Zeta Gundam. The reason for this is because how the campaign mode worked. Instead of playing through each mission that each character played through, you played as your own random character starting with a small amount of mobile suits. As you complete missions these mobile suits retain their damage and if you play on hard mode this damage is not recovered. You choose which missions you'll play throughout the one year war going from 99 to maybe 109 missions at most depending on which you attempt or avoid. Even though I like GvZG because of how much more content, I like the progression of this one more. However, this isn't my favorite Gundam game, I'll be making a second post.

It has a couple odd graphical glitches though, particularly with trees. But I actually thought the gameplay was really solid. I may cover it in the future.

I really recommend everyone try it, it has more mecha, more pilots, more levels, more gamemodes and IMO basically peak gameplay feel of the PS2 games.
