Gundam PS3 gamplay footage - E3 2006

This is a video I took of Gundam PS3 at E3. Gundam was billed as being about 30% finished.

The graphics were amazing, and both the Gundam and enemy Zaku mecha displayed damage as they were hit. Unfortunately for fans of the anime, Gundam moved very slowly. The game felt more like a tank simulator than a mecha combat title. It's tough to provide the player with a sense of size and speed. Gundam PS3 was great at the former, poor at the latter.

While they may tweak it, I expect Gundam PS3 to remain a slower game focusing on firepower than agility. It was gorgeous and the Gundam universe is ripe for storytelling, but don't expect fast anime style mecha combat from this title.
