Chapter 1108 Not everyone can drive Gundam

Early February, Jiangchuan.

Wanbao Games released the trial version of "Mobile Suit Gundam" in advance and invited anchors and UP owners to help promote it.

The effect is okay!

As Wanbao Games' first FPS tactical competitive game, "Mobile Suit Gundam" has conquered countless FPS enthusiasts with its novel "driving Gundam" experience.

There is something very interesting.

That is the cool, powerful and handsome Gundam Mecha in the game, which has also attracted the attention of many netizens.

Then, someone thought of the "Original Gundam" model that was briefly put on sale at Wanbao's official flagship store not long ago.

At that time, no one knew which work the so-called "Gundam" model came from.

Some people even speculate that Gundam will be the mecha in the follow-up works of the "Dragon Fighter", "Lightbringer" or "Fruit Attack" series?

The result was obviously that everyone guessed wrong.

The Gundam has nothing to do with Wanbao's previous mechas. It is a mecha from a game.

"No, no, no, it's more than just a game!"

Just when netizens characterized Gundam as a game machine, Wanbao Games officially came out and claimed that Gundam is actually not only a game, but also an animated work of the same name.

"ah?!"

Now everyone was really shocked.

Gundam actually has animation, when did this happen? Why hasn't there been any news about it?

When countless mecha and robot anime fans went to Wanbao Animation’s official WeChat account with doubts for confirmation, they got a positive answer.

"Mobile Suit Gundam" does have a spin-off animation, and it will be broadcast as soon as March this year!

"This will be a robot animation that breaks the rules and takes an unusual path..."

Wanbao Animation's statement immediately made everyone excited.

break the usual?

Take an unusual step?

These descriptions make people confused, and they don't understand what kind of medicine is sold in Wanbao Gourd.

The Gundam body design has been exposed, and a trial version of the game has been released. What kind of Riddler do you think this is?

Most people are not willing to believe Wanbao Animation's statement.

On the one hand, the Gundam's body design has been exposed for a long time, and the game trial version also showed part of the story background. Basically, everything that should be leaked has been leaked.

Animation that breaks the mold?

Judging from the information that has been exposed, apart from the slightly novel body design, there seems to be nothing else about the Gundam.

How is this breaking the rules?

[Hurry up and bring the Gundam, I can’t wait!]

[It’s just a robot animation. It’s not like you haven’t seen it before. I can only say that the body design is good...]

[Have you not noticed some small details in the design of the Gundam body? It feels different from before!]

[What’s the difference? Let me tell you, this is not as handsome as the Duobao mecha! 】

Some people disagree.

After so many years of development, robot animation has already formed a set of fixed aesthetic preferences.

To put it harshly, although the Gundam's body design is a bit unexpected, if it were not combined with the animation plot, no one would think there was anything wrong.

But there are also people who are keenly aware that the animation may not be that simple from the Gundam's angular body design.

certainly!

At this time, no one has yet floated the concept of “real robot” works.

Without this concept, naturally no one can guess how "Mobile Suit Gundam" is different from other robot animations.

…

"They'll find out soon enough."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "Mobile Suit Gundam will open up a new direction for robot animation, that is, realistic weapons style!"

"Realistic weapon style?"

After thinking about this word, Hou Bin and Guo Hongwei nodded in agreement.

This summary is indeed accurate!

Compared with the various exaggerated science fiction and futuristic robot animations in the past, Gundam is indeed heading in the "realistic" direction.

This realism not only comes from the body design, but also from the story background and animation plot.

In order to create Gundam, Sunrise Company created a future world that is extremely realistic, full of details, and has an epic and romantic feel like a space opera, which is not part of the imagination.

The theme of Gundam belongs to the "science fiction, war" genre seriously.

It’s about the future!

But the background of this story, including the overall plot, often gives people a sense of weight as they look back on major historical events.

Sounds awkward?

How can an animation about the future world feel like looking back at history?

The answer is simple!

Although Gundam is about the future world, the core of this story is not the future, but what has happened in history.

Gu Miao had discovered it before.

In Gundam 0079, the villain Zeon has a strong atmosphere of the German army in World War II, giving him the illusion of watching a war movie.

Later it turned out that it was not an illusion.

The production of the animation "Mobile Suit Gundam" is hard to say in the later stages, but at least in the early stages, it did follow the narrative techniques of war movies.

Similarly, EVA, also known as Neon Genesis Evangelion, also uses this narrative technique that is common in war movies.

This is one of the reasons why "Mobile Suit Gundam" later became the source of realistic weapon-style robot animation.

What's so surprising about this?

Other robot animations strive to be as sci-fi as possible, giving the audience the feeling of watching "Star Wars".

But "Mobile Suit Gundam" is different. The viewing experience is like a war documentary movie from the 1970s and 1980s.

This method downplays the violation of science fiction products such as "Gundam", making people can't help but believe that if the future of mankind is really like this, a machine like Gundam may really be born.

"Gundam is a fictional machine, but what we have to do is make the audience believe that this kind of machine really exists..."

Gu Miao explained: "This kind of existence refers to giving a reasonable explanation for the birth of Gundam from a scientific perspective, as well as the specific design and operating principles of this body."

This is also the reason why watching Gundam is so brain-burning.

Gundam's setting system is quite complicated and numerous. If someone who doesn't understand it hastily steps into this pit, it will waste countless time just to understand it from scratch.

for example.

The same machine may be used in other robot animations, and it is enough to just explain its specific functions.

But in Gundam, this body will have its own model, code and serial number, as well as manufacturer, purpose of the body, department to which it belongs, as well as more detailed armor materials, engine power, propulsion, armament, special instruments...

…

"It's every boy's dream to fly a Gundam, but with the sophistication of this thing, even if you hold the instruction manual, you may not be able to start it." Gu Miao couldn't help laughing.

Robots such as the Fruit Treasure Mecha, the Dragon God, and the Demon King of Earth can be activated just by summoning them. They do not require any special skills.

But can Gundam be the same?

No, buddy! You don’t really think that everyone is like Amuro, do you? Amuro is the protagonist, and you can get started by touching Gundam for the first time, but who are you?

If Gundam is really that easy to drive, then Amuro won’t be a special case!

"In my opinion, the difficulty of flying a Gundam in combat should be no less difficult than becoming a fighter pilot in reality."

"almost."

Hou Bin shook his head and said: "This thing has not received professional training. Ordinary people can only watch it when they get a Gundam."

This is what realistic weapons style looks like.

If it were the mechas in "Dragon Fighter", "Light Messenger" or "Fruit Attack", even an ordinary person would most likely be able to activate them as long as he could summon them.

But if Gundam doesn't work, it just won't work.

Amuro is special, on the one hand, because of his talent, and on the other hand, because of the aura of the protagonist.

If it were another person, it would be the first time he piloted a Gundam and he would be so extreme, even Superman Clark would not be able to do it!
