Euro Gundam Live demo "soon"

By Robert Purchese Published 23 July, 2007

Matter of days, says Koei.

Koei has told Eurogamer this morning that the Dynasty Warriors: Gundam Live demo will be out across Europe in "a matter of days".

The US version was released earlier today, and the slight delay is due to localisation issues and a pending PEGI rating.

The demo's already out on the PS Network, and gives you a sample of the cinematic button-mashing gameplay we found to be really rather good indeed when we imported it for some close-up scrutiny earlier in the year.

"We wanted to ensure that every Xbox 360 owner had the opportunity to enjoy the perfect melding of the Dynasty Warriors signature gameplay and Gundam's Mobile Suits before its anticipated debut," said Makoto Iwai, big cheese at Namco Bandai America.

"The online demo of Dynasty Warriors: Gundam offers a glimpse of the unrivalled experience that made it a chart topping success in Japan."

We'll keep our eyes peeled for the Euro-date.

Dynasty Warriors: Gundam is due for release on PS3 and Xbox 360 in early November.

    It's good if you like DW... and Gundam.

  • Artemis_Matsas #2 5 years ago

    Yep, it's good. I thought that i was over this kind of game, but i liked the demo very much.
    Another one to look after.

  • Monkey_Puncher #3 5 years ago

    I'm amazed people can still enjoy these games, played Dynasty Warriors 4 through to the end and that was more than enough for me.

  • Steroyd #4 5 years ago

    I had to learn ON MY OWN how to make a foreign account and downloaded this... that is all I'll say about the demo.

    Speaking of demoes, was Sony retarded enough to take out the Minana no Golf Demo 5 in the Japaneese store, or am i really that bad in reading Japaneese?

    And Eurogamer recently looking into European gamers affairs, did I type in the right url?

    The PS3 US demo was utterly mediocre so at least I know not to waste my time and HDD space downloading the 360 version.

  • menage #6 5 years ago

    Never played DW before, because the theme didn't appeal. But this might be good. I watched some Gundamn, so this could be fun.

  • 3william56 #7 5 years ago

    Maybe there's two demos out. Because the one I have is utterly bl**dy tedious.
    Robots queue up.
    Slash slash swipe. Repeat.
    Robot explodes.
    Use special move.
    Robot explodes.
    Repeat 65 times.
    Mini Boss appears.
    Repeat 5 times.
    Area secure. Move on. Stock spikey haired anime bloke spouts gibberish.
    Repeat until universe develops sentience and implodes.

    What is it with the PS3 and making big stompy robots boring? Armoured Core even sucked. Next they'll make a game with non fun monkeys! It ain't right!

  • BBIAJ #8 5 years ago

    Not seeing this on the US XBLMP, what gives?

  • absolutezero #9 5 years ago

    Yup, theres no demo on the American Marketplace. Another demo being taken down?

  • Dizzy #10 5 years ago

    This is the best selling PS3 game in Japan! Better not be shite.

  • YourMessageHere #11 5 years ago

    "Euro Gundam" - a phrase that manages to make Gundam seem cheesier than usual. Like Europop only stompier?
