The patch job blues
SinceNew Gundam Breakerreleased last week, word has quickly spread about the state of the game. It’s in extremely rough shape in almost every aspect, with critics and fans tearing it apart in the aftermath. While not everything can be fixed, Namco has revealed its plans for the PlayStation 4 version throughout July and August.
These changes won’t cause it to become a good game, but it is a step in the right direction.
First we have the following changes scheduled for sometime in July:
In addition to these changes, the Kapool fromTurn A Gundamwill be the focus of anew event stagestarting on July 4. This is actually good for those wanting to focus on the customization part of the game, as the ball-esque design of the Kapool is very distinct. That being said, I don’t believe the idea of releasing only one new mobile suit every two to three weeks for a limited time is going to help keep players invested like they are hoping for.
However, additional plans are scheduled for August as follows:
There’s not a lot here to say that you can’t already tell from reading the list. The game released in a bad state, with a lot of features we take for granted from these types of games missing. If this was the state of the PS4 version at launch, I can’t imagine what the PC version was like before the delay.
New Gundam Breakeris available now for PlayStation 4, with a PC release scheduled for this summer.
