Cross Platform

[SkylyDawn]

I REALLY hope this is cross platform with the Playstation version...or at least cross save.

lmao maybe do your research first? This isn't a first person shooter, its not even a SHOOTER to begin with. Its a third person action game with a pretty slow and methodical pacing, like the Mobile Suits are vehicles for your pilots, not just running around at breakneck speeds like in Gundam Evo

While that is also true, there are multiple coverages on Sony asking for extra premium fees & positive publicity if devs/publishers want their game to be able to crossplay.

I'd understand why Bamco wouldn't wanna do it, but locking Gundam games behind Sony after 2016 is a stupid move to begin with. Real shame for the people that will have to restart their progress (and bank).

sigh, at least let us have the ability to use our ps4 account. just cross save would be nice.

Heck, even if it were a one-time, one-way deal - transfer over your progress from PS4/5 this one time at launch or whatever, but you can't bring that progress back over to the console - I'd still be more than happy with that.

Alas, it is not to be, it seems.

Without crossplay it's going to die pretty quick unlike that brand new and shiny Gundam Evolution, they waited too long to port it to pc.

It's really not like that, mouse and keyboard won't have any advantage over Controler due to cameraspeed locked behind the suits turning speed.

You don't know the coding yet, and I have zero faith win BN codes. The aim is always easier with mnk, this is a fact.

Yeah, I found that out a little after I posted. I'm years into GBO2 on PS4/PS5, and have no reason to start from scratch again. A pity, I would have liked to play with my friends who don't have PlayStations. I hope everyone enjoys the Steam version!

On the opposite, Gundam Evolution is the one who's likely going to suffer hard, since it competes directly with Overwatch 2, which I doubt Bamco would spend money that much on marketing like Acti-Blizz does to counters it.

Meanwhile, GBO 2 doesn't have any kind of competition on PC, since Gundam Online has ended its service not a while ago, and there's currently no similar game available out there.

The general gaming community is not hyped about OW 2. The multiplayer part is an update to base overwatch, so there is no additional purchase there. The only thing that buying OW2 does for someone that owns 1 is getting a single player campaign.

As for why there is little hype? Horribly handled the first game on many fronts. From the constant anti-community updates, from removing multiple picks of the same chars, to forced role queus, and the extremely brute forced and generally failed attempt at making it a self sustaining esport at the cost of the casual community. OW2 has a lot of work needed to get some of it's rep back, dropping the game to 5v5 and making tanks tankier(and more) is not that path.
