Pacific Rim The Video Game PS3 Gameplay : Gipsy Danger vs Knifehead | 4K HDR 60 FPS

Описание: Pacific Rim: The Video Game is a 2013 fighting game developed by Yuke’s (famous for the WWE 2K series) and published by Warner Bros. Interactive. It was released digitally for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 to coincide with the release of Guillermo del Toro's film.

Here is a detailed breakdown of the game, its mechanics, and its legacy.

1. Overview
Genre: 3D Arena Fighter / Brawler

Developer: Yuke's

Platforms: Xbox 360 (Xbox Live Arcade), PlayStation 3 (PSN)

Release Date: July 2013

Status: Delisted (The game was removed from digital stores in 2016 due to expired licensing agreements and can no longer be purchased).

Note: This is often confused with the mobile game released the same year by Reliance Games, which played like Infinity Blade (swiping to attack). The console version described here is a traditional fighting game.

2. Gameplay Mechanics
Unlike fast-paced fighters (like Street Fighter), this game attempted to simulate the sheer weight and scale of 2,000-ton machines.

The "Weighty" Feel: Movement was deliberately slow and lumbering. Attacks felt heavy, emphasizing timing and strategy over button mashing.

Health System:

Jaegers: Had two health bars (representing the two pilots). You could survive if one pilot was knocked out, but you would be severely handicapped.

Kaiju: Had a single, massive health bar.

Energy Management: almost every move (blocking, dashing, attacking) required energy. If you depleted your energy gauge, your Jaeger would overheat or become sluggish, leaving you vulnerable.

Customization: Players could create their own Jaegers using parts from existing mechs, changing their stats (Speed, Power, Armor) and paint jobs.

3. Character Roster
The base game included a small selection, with many characters locked behind paid DLC (Downloadable Content).

Jaegers (Playable Mechs):

Gipsy Danger (USA, Balanced)

Cherno Alpha (Russia, Heavy/Tank)

Crimson Typhoon (China, Speed)

Striker Eureka (Australia, High Damage)

Coyote Tango (Japan, DLC)

Kaiju (Playable Monsters):

Knifehead

Leatherback

Axehead

Otachi (DLC)

Slattern (DLC)

Onibaba (DLC)

Raiju (DLC)

4. Reception
The game received mixed to negative reviews (Metacritic score roughly 39/100), though it developed a small cult following among hardcore fans of the movie.

The Good: The character models were high-quality and faithful to the film. The sense of scale and the "custom Jaeger" feature were praised by fans.

The Bad: It was criticized for feeling like a "cash grab." It had very little single-player content (a repetitive survival mode), clunky controls, and an aggressive microtransaction model where you had to pay real money for essential characters and even basic paint colors.
