My favourite game just gotten upgrade last week..
Gihren's Greed or 基連的野望 PSP version
is the Wargame for Gundam history covering from the 1st episode of the 1 year war to the end of the Universial Century..
covers topic include:
- Politics
- Production
- Resources mgt
- Research on MS (Mobile Suit) and Machines
- Strategy Map: Solar System + Earth covering major districts
- Tactical Map: Hex based covering major areas of earth and space
- Unit covering from 1 Unit e.g. Gundam to a Squad for 3 Zaku
- Every Ace Pilot in History (all episodes) and plus
- Every MS in History and possible variations through research
Tried a few turns yesterday,
these are the first impression:
- top graphics, everything is redesigned and with higher resolution graphics
- Buying and development seems cheaper and faster overall
- there is a Chaos vs Stable Political situation depending on the way you handle your occupations
-
- a new way to collect $ and resource is by forcing special tax on your people.. thus creating chaos level
- i think the diplomatic politcal sysem is gone.. i dont like much of it anyway
- Change in Tactical system,
-
- one of the important trick is gone. you are not allowed to enter new Strategic segment during battle (thus stealing other segments the cheap way, i.e. no more tricks)
- Assignment system, now its very easy to assign per unit AutoRun functions, thus making gaming much fasters..
-
- however, i'd still like to see a system where you can assign objectives, like attack here, defend there..
- Change in Manufacturing
-
- everything seems faster now, creating a Zaku IIF now takes 1 turn only
- also one can upgrade MS in the battlefield
-
- allowing upgrades of older version with newer technology
- can change from Space mode to Ground or underwater mode
- can change from normal version to Ace Pilot version (when the Ace is the pilot)
- this change make it very easy to migrate old technology into new ones and not needing to create and wait
- very good for the game and actually realistic.. (but i dont really understand why u need 3 MS to create one Ace.. oh well, so much for realistic..
likely, i'd spent more than a few hundred hours on different version of it in the last 10 years
from PS1, PS2, PSP x2
