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.
Gonna have to disagree. I actually played ancient city way back when on ps2. I'd have to say it was most similar to resident evil having a baby with a doom mod. Dark, yes, but only dark. Otherwise, its hard to distinguish from any other fps style horror/adventure title.
Armored core, on the other hand, has the scale and the engagement that is much more in line with later souls releases. Kings Field has the tone, but Armored Core has literally everything else.
The only thing I don't really like about this trailer is the art style, particularly of the characters. Not liking the characters being photo-realistic, especially when the cutscene ended and the gameplay graphics were significantly washed out greys (growing problem in modern realistic games), you know the characters are going to look worse.
I would rather they gone with an art style like Screamer, where the mecha and environment are semirealistic and lighting is good, but the characters are still cel shaded. I feel it would have fit better.
