Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. Full Boost (機動戦士ガンダムエクストリームバーサス：フルブースト) is the sequel to Mobile Suit Gundam: Extreme Vs. The game was announced on November 28, 2011 for release in arcades in 2012 and is headed for a PS3 release on January 31, 2014, with additional units exclusive to the console version. The theme song for Full Boost is titled FIGHT IT OUT feat. K(Pay money To my Pain, performed by both Akihiro Namba of Hi-Standard and Takeshi Ueda of AA=. An additional update called Maxi Boost is slated for release in March 2014 with even more units.
Gameplay[]
Extreme Vs. Full Boost retains the trademark gameplay of previous installments of the Gundam Vs. series, with a few adjustments and changes. During a standard arcade battle, each team is given a resource meter of 6000 points; when a mobile suit is shot down, its cost is deducted from the meter, and the first team to hit 0 loses. Each mobile suit costs 3000, 2500, 2000, or 1000 points, with higher cost machines being more powerful while cheaper machines are much weaker. A few missions, particularly boss battles, eschew this in favor of making a single machine the target and having its defeat be the goal of the stage (the player's side still has a resource meter and will lose as normal if it's depleted).
Gamplay makes use of four primary buttons: Shoot, Melee, Jump, and Search. There are also three sub-commands used by pressing Shoot and Melee (Sub-Weapon), Shoot and Jump (Special Shooting) and Melee and Jump (Special Melee). In addition to these, machines can have two different charge attacks, activated by holding the Shoot or Melee button until a meter on the ammunition display fills.
Extreme Vs. adds in two important gameplay changes. Extreme Action is the ability to dash-cancel one's attacks, allowing the player to string together larger and more damaging combos. Extreme Burst is a super mode, similar to older games' Awakenings, activated by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together when a meter at the bottom of the screen is filled. Several machines (primarily those piloted by the protagonists of each series) also have a super-powerful Burst Attack, executed by pressing Shoot, Melee, and Jump together while Extreme Burst is active. Full Boost will give Burst Attacks to every mobile suit in the game as well as spliting Extreme Burst into 2 two types, Assault Burst and Blast Burst. Assault Burst gives grants a boost to attack power, speed and melee range while improving the lock on range. In addition, the EX gauge will not be depleted completely upon using an EX Burst, though the time spent in EX Mode is more than halved. Blast Burst offers a defense increase as well as speed and melee, though not as much as Assault. In addition, the EX Burst depletes the gauge completely, just as in Extreme Vs. However, weapons that require the user to stop and fire can now be cancelled.
The PS3 version will feature its own Mission Mode, similar to the original's Trial Mission. Missions are organized in a list rather than a map and class and the Extreme difficulty is added. Additionally, the difficulty of these missions can be adjusted by the player. There are much less missions, but an online co-op feature has been added to allow friends to join in and assist them. Level caps have also been extended beyond Lv 38 as well. Replacing the emblems from Trial Mission are figurines of the playable suits as well as the boss units. Lastly, the game will feature custom soundtracks similar to the first game, but the feature has been significantly improved to not only adjust volume levels, but they may even be used during online sessions.
DLC for the game's console release will include the MSA-0011(Ext) Ex-S Gundam as a first print bonus as well as alternate costumes for pilots and even characters for units as well as themed HUDS, features that were available in the arcade release through a Namco-Bandai Passport. Many of the other DLC units are either pre-existing NPCs such as the GNX-609T GN-XIII, color swaps such as Poe's MRC-F20 SUMO or pilot swaps with cost adjustments like Lacus's 1000 ZGMF-X19A ∞ Justice Gundam.
As of Version 1.08, a new GP Points system will be added. These points can be gained by playing or logging online. With these points, players can purchase the alternate costumes and HUDs without having to spend money. In addition, you can also use these points to purchase "trial" versions of the DLC units themselves and will be unlocked for play until you finish play of whatever mode you are in, lose or are disconnected from the servers.
