They changed the title for NA

From IGN

August 25, 2006 - Namco Bandai has announced the official name for the PS3's upcoming Mobile Suit game in North America and it's... wait for it... Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire. Already known in Japan as Kidou Senshi Gundam: Target in Sight in the Land of the Rising Sun, Crossfire is the first 0079 title made specifically for the PlayStation 3. Fans of the series can expect to see it in November/ December in Japan, but a North American date hasn't been disclosed yet.

Mobile Suit Gundam: Crossfire is set in the popular "One Year War" period and gives players the option to use both the Federation and Zeon forces. Multi-point destructibility, environmental carnage, and gaining new military ranks are big focuses.

Two mech games available at PS3 launch; Armored Core and this. I think most sane people will chose Armored Core

aaaaaaaaaand... im bored.

(fairly clean models)

PhatSaqs · Aug 25, 2006

Less screens more vids.

Looks good tho.

Aeon712 · Aug 25, 2006

Shots look awesome, I'm hoping 1st quarter NA release or I might have to import.

mckmas8808 · Aug 25, 2006

Again looks good, but need to see it in motion.

NerdEyeBlind · Aug 25, 2006

Looks pretty good. Hopefully the city battles take place with more buildings that are fully destructable...

I like the textures on the mechs.

Majmun · Aug 25, 2006

Some Ps3 games have some seriously good AA. Including this one.

mrwilt · Aug 25, 2006

Multi-point destructibility

Sounds awesome.

My bad.

Looks like crap. Sony should just postpone the whole launch.
Better?

The models do look good but out of curiosity what causes the jaggy shadows (see left leg) in this shot?

radicalbunny · Aug 25, 2006

Damn, what happened to this game? Am I the only one that remembers how this was looking a year ago? I know it's a Gundam game and all, but I remember this was damn near jaw-dropping back when it was first unveiled.

*i won't bring out the original gundam ps3 pics 'cause i'm sure someone else will*

Lighting looks flat and geometry+environments are lacking. GAF standards are sinking at a montrous pace.

LOLLers.

Target video FTL!

Massive downgrade total.

Etc. etc.

Get used to the pixilated shadows cause you will see a lot more them next gen

Notice how I avoid those terms, and reasonably point out the specific areas of the game where I've noticed a change? If you wanna avoid discussion, fine, but take that weak ass projection somewhere else.

Sorry, actually I'm agreeing with you. I was just kidding around.

It looks about as good as it did at E3 (minus the bullshot anti-aliasing), which is to say, not particularly great.

Hopefully it now plays better than it looks, because that was even worse at E3.

I've grown a bit used to them since Splinter Cell...but it'd be nice to have them more defined.

A single layer of a good post processing effect can fix the lighting problem. Lets wait for TGS before jumping to conclusions.

Tokubetsu · Aug 25, 2006

Love me some Gundam. Surprised they never made a ZETA game...Would have loved that but any 0079 game is fine <3

All this game needs is a giant physics based tumbleweed.

jacktion · Aug 25, 2006

Your wish is my command. Here's a shot from last year.
Both look good imo. new one's less so, though.

fully destructable root structure with realistic wind physics

Bad_Boy · Aug 25, 2006

looks like the previous build we saw weeks ago.

Low shadow map resolution. Cheap to process. There are some real-time soft shadow methods although. Will be interesting to see if they are implemented in the coming gen.

That is from cg.

While the game obviously isn't at that level, seeing it again suggests to me that a scene such as this is entirely possible on this new generation of hardware.

drohne · Sep 15, 2006

i'm repeating myself now, but perhaps what it takes to really appreciate next-gen graphics is a couple days of wii screenshots. that looks amazing. though of course it's no armored core 4.

Goddamn. I was really looking forward to THAT. So was that cg?? I remember all the sony fanboys screaming that it was real time.

Yeah, that's about what I'm thinking.

I'll have to hang onto some Wii screenshots for viewing just prior to the opening of a new PS3 or 360 release in order to truly appreciate those visuals. Watching that collection of Wii games in motion almost made me feel as if we were back in 2001 or something.

No kidding. It's like bizzaro world. Looking at the DMC4 thread and seeing what some people say then looking in the Wii screenshot thread and seeing what people say will make your head spin.

they will say something about expectations and 'being good for the hardware'. that's when you laugh heartily

LiveFromKyoto · Sep 15, 2006

I'm not really familiar with Gundam. Is this a cartoon about robots squabbling over who gets the Grand Canyon or something?

Kinda hard to summarize since there's so much of it, but yes, that's basically it

string pissAndMoan ( string x ){
