News:: A Gundam fan and a newcomer try out the beta for Gundam Versus

When it comes to video games starring the Gundam franchise, it stands in an odd spot.

Despite the anime being popular around the world, the games, which cover numerous genres and come out frequently in Japan, are nowhere to be seen internationally. With the last home console game, Dynasty Warriors Gundam Reborn, having been released three years ago, fans have been hungry for more Gundam. Namco appears to have heard their cries with the release of Gundam Versus for PlayStation 4 planned for later this month. As you can probably tell, I'm very excited for it.

A beta was released that ran over the course of September 2 to September 4. I roped in our own Bass to give the demo a try. He hasn't tried anything in the franchise whatsoever, only heard snippets through me, so I thought it'd be interesting to get an outsider's opinion on the matter. That way you can get the perspective of someone who likes Gundam, and someone who would be more focused on whether the gameplay appeals to him.

I swear I'm the unbiased one in this case.
