I've seen those Strike Freedom images countless times :p We want to see your build images!

Can't wait for 00 Raiser tbh. Also, seeing Epyon Gundam makes me want to rewatch Gundam Wing badly. Heck, lets just start with it :p

I don't even have it yet. :laugh:

What about you? Works both ways :p

I've shown my RX-78-2 and Gundam 00 QAN[T] a few pages back :p And you know what comes of me trying to make shots while building a Gunpla, it just can't happen :rofl:

You should take some more :D Bring them outside into the natural sunlight (Y)

^If I bring them downstairs they're going to lose their current poses. Not really wanting that to happen tbh.

Lets just wait till I've got the iPhone 4 in a few weeks. It has a better camera compared with my HTC Desire.

So I'm back from my long ass trip to Hong Kong. Now I come back and I see a new Gundam series have been annnounced. WTF IS THIS ?

oh, and I got my PG Strike Freedom. And only that. Cause I had no more space in my luggage to fit anymore MGs. Price was relatively cheap. $182 CAD it came out to. Didn't have to pay tax either. :D

^LOL! Also, that new series is a complete new Universe inside of Gundam. So they're trying new things in it with this new AGE system (it's an adaptable system). It allows the Gundam to adapt to a given situation, and get armor and whatnot on the fly.

I'm kinda unclear about the new series because on one side I don't like some of the new things and on the other side I'm really curious. The enemy mobile suits look like dragons btw. That's at least one thing I certainly don't like. The teaser showed some promising things though it to me it didn't really feel like Gundam. To me it felt more like it's a complete different series in which they use the name Gundam and in which they've got a mobile suit which looked like a blend of RX-78-2 and 00 Gundam. Oh well, we'll see how it develops.

I dunno man, that lead Gundam looks kinda ugly. :laugh: But that's what I said about the 00 Suits. I guess they grew on me. Let's see what happens with AGE. Also about the PG SF, I've spent 5 hours on 1/2 on the legs alone. THere are sooo many parts to it it's ridiculous. :laugh:

^It's what I kinda meant; it's just a mixture of RX-78-2 and 00 Gundam. You just don't mix the 2 up. I was hoping for a series like "08th MS Team" with mobile suits that looked more like this age's military equipment and with more grown up protagonists. I've never had a dislike of the Gundam 00 suits. The only ones I disliked where the Throne Gundams and at first 00 Gundam. Though for some reason the 1080p version that I've watched as a re-watch made me fall in love with the mobile suit.

I'd build 1 part a day if I'd make a PG set. That way it'd stay fun and you wouldn't get frustrated easily :p

^I know, I've had discussions about that fact several times with others. Though to my understanding they made that decisions to be able to make simpler Gunpla models. The 4th generation of Gundam 00's Gundams where even simpler.

^Because it has more detail. The one you saw/posted is a low scale Gunpla, those never look accurate. If they'd made a 1/100 MG scale Gunpla off of it it would look like the one in that image.

Did you know that Yoshiyuki Tomino (director of the first Gundam series) said that people should let go of Gundam? He never planned for this at all hype at all. He just wanted to leave it at 1 series. From the first series it also wasn't about Gunpla, they came with that idea later on.

I just don't know. With they where already trying new things with Gundam 00 by changing the whole look of what a Gundam should look like, I was alright with that. But now they're changing a whole lot more. Dragon mobile suits as the enemy mobile suit, kids who look like they're from Digimon. I'm just going to keep having an open mind about Gundam AGE. It might turn out to be exactly what a Gundam series should be. The teaser trailer showed some promising things and at least a few space scenes. The later is already a plus to be honest, this way we know it won't all be earth based. I look forward to watch the first episode and see what this series has to offer. Who knows, in the end it might as well be a good thing that they're trying to give Gundam a refreshed look.

Yeah I'm not sure about the art direction either. I like Gundam because it has a more 'adult' feeling to it, (you know with all the nude scenes and all :laugh: ) and the art direction is more tended to adults. I really don't like the Digimon art direction. More tended to kids. I guess they want to go for a cleaner look, not blood splattering everywhere and guts spewing. On that note, it'd be awesome if there was a rated R Gundam movie. How epic would that be. Like a live-action with CG comparable to Transformers. Wouldn't that be grand? :laugh:

^Nope, I would really dislike a live action movie of Gundam :p Anime isn't made for live-action, American cartoons etc are. Also, I just think that with this series they want to attract a whole new audience which is why they might've chosen for younger kids/simpler artstyle. Thought as always the story is important as well, so lets just hope that isn't toned down a whole lot. And going by the teaser trailer, they might've kept the story leveled with other Gundam series.

Also, there already is a American live-action TV movie of Gundam: G-Saviour

Yeah but that TV movie is so anime-ish. I'm talking about keeping the original gundam designs and you know making them realistic. I think it would pretty cool lol :p

Naah, IMO it wouldn't be cool at all. Just look at how they're butchering all the other live action adaptions of anime. Anime just isn't made for live-action movies.

That's cause they are doing it wrong. LOL.

    • State of Decay 3 is out in 2027, reveals Plague Nests with new co-op gameplay trailer by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe A few months ago, Undead Labs broke its silence about the third entry in the State of Decay series since its announcement in 2020. Today, the studio had a brand-new trailer to reveal at the Xbox Games Showcase, finally giving players a look at the Unreal Engine 5-powered title. A broad 2027 release window is now attached to State of Decay 3 too. The studio confirmed that every scene seen in the gameplay trailer (except for the studio logo) released today is from the game with no cinematic footage. "The quality bar of the moment-to-moment experience is higher than anything we’ve achieved in Undead Labs’ history," says the studio. "State of Decay 3 is being built in Unreal Engine 5, and we’re creating better quality versions of what makes our game the survival sandbox it is, and the combat experience is really, really important to us, and I think you can see it coming through in this trailer." One new aspect of this upcoming entry is the Plague Nests. These are supposed to be dynamic, dungeon‑like enemy hubs with varied “personas” that change tactics each time one appears on a map. These areas will have the best loot in the game for players brave enough to tackle them. The combat system is being overhauled too, letting players do quick and power attacks depending on the situation. This isn't just on the player's side though, as zombies themselves now have multiple new types of behaviors depending on how fresh or decayed they are. "All of these play very differently, especially as you start getting outnumbered or when you’re making noise and running around and trying to save your rear end or the rear end of your friend next to you," adds the developer. Of course, settlement building and community management are massive parts of this third entry too. These are being further expanded with the cooperative focus, giving players much more freedom for playing together than in State of Decay 2. Players will even be able to split up and build settlements in different areas of the same map with different goals. Undead Labs confirmed that playtests are already ongoing for the title, and interested players can sign up to participate by heading over here once more slots open up ahead of the full release. State of Decay 3 is coming out on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Game Pass sometime in 2027.
    • Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion gives the Slayer a brutal Chain Spear by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Last year, id Software released Doom: The Dark Ages as a prequel to its reboot series, offering a look at the legendary Slayer character during an ancient war between Hell and Heaven. Today, at the Xbox Games Showcase, id Software returned with a new announcement that unveiled Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations as its first story expansion. The expansion will see the Slayer being betrayed and cast into a "merciless purgatory only escapable by confronting haunting truths." Somehow, there is one ally in all this chaos seemingly attempting to help our protagonist escape his fate. Players will be ascending this prison and fighting plenty of new demons and abominations as they work to free the Slayer's followers. One new aspect of the expansion will be the Chain Spear. This new weapon is described by the studio as a "uniquely satisfying combat system that rewards mastery with a potent combination of power and mobility." Check out the trailer below to see the new weapon in action, where the Slayer is seen using it to even pin enemies to walls. id Software is also preparing a free update to all owners of Doom: The Dark Ages that will land alongside the new paid expansion. Dubbed the Ripatorium 3.0 update, this will add more customization options, an improved pass code generation system, and preset options for players diving into the game's arena challenge mode. Expansion buyers will also receive additional maps, demons, and new weapons to use in this mode in addition to the story levels. Doom: The Dark Ages Revelations expansion is out on July 7 across PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5 with a $19.99 price tag. Those who own the Premium Edition or the Collector's Bundle will receive the expansion for no extra cost as well.
    • Hyped for this. Replayed the remasters recently and they're so well done, and Crash 4 was great too. I trust this team to deliver.
    • Ninja Theory's new Hellblade game is action-focused and set in Purgatory by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Ninja Thery has been building its award-winning Hellblade series since 2017, delivering Senua's Sacrifice and Senua's Saga since then. Today at the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, the studio had a brand-new installment announcement featuring Senua again, but this time, she is in a version of purgatory, and the focus is on the action. Simply named Senua, this new entry is described as a "full-on action-adventure" experience, delivering an expanded focus on combat, puzzle-solving, and freedom of exploration. The developer says that it is keeping the same high production values and storytelling features of the previous games while giving what players have been asking for in the gameplay department. The entirety of Ninja Theory is now working on Senua, giving the project much more manpower than ever before, while also letting the team draw on its action roots from Devil May Cry and prior titles. However, the studio also confirmed that its previously announced Project Mara horror experience is no longer in development. Alongside snappier traversal moves, Senua will be able to take stealth and direct combat routes. She has access to her own sword, plus any enemy weapons as well, with dual wielding also being an option for most dropped melee swords, axes, and other weapons. Outside of melee combat, Senua will be able to use special abilities that let her alter the reality around her. The world is said to be about twice the size of Hellblade 2. While this won't be an open-world experience, the linear story will let players explore their surroundings further than before. The story of Senua will be set after the events of previous Hellblade titles, with our protagonist being stuck in her own version of Purgatory. The series' well-explored psychosis themes will return as well. "She’s trapped between life and death on a quest to reach the afterlife and be reunited with the ones that she’s loved and lost," adds the studio. "Her belief is that by healing the wounds of her life, she can find the peace that is the key that unlocks the gate to the afterlife." Senua is releasing on Xbox Series X|S, PC, and PlayStation 5 sometime in 2027.
