Shin Gihren no Yabou (A new Gihren's Greed Game)

Last week a new Gihren's Greed game was announced in Famitsu.

------
What we know so far:
-Release date is August 25th
-Gundam Unicorn is in
-A promotional code will be released that will allow you to have 16 Mobile Suits and 10 characters from the start. http://www.b.bngi-channel.jp/gihren/ima ... /img01.jpg (image of that here)
-Gameplay has been changed drastically from the last three PSP titles, the game plays similar to the Saturn version with the world and space now being a giant territory map, only this time it seems the map is dotted with cities, factories, airbases, and fortresses as well as the essential base territories.
-There is a new pilot and commander scenarios where you can select a pilot like Amuro and play as only a single unit throughout many important events. The commander scenarios however allow you to select someone like Dozel Zabi and command multiple units on a map. Then of course there are the classic faction scenarios which operate the same as the factions in all the past games.
-Shoal Zone territory is in the 0079 era now as well.
-CG animations for map attacks?*
-Funnels are now map attacks and or can be both map and standard attacks?
* "?" means I'm unsure, I'm just going by what google translate told me. :P

So feel free to discuss, speculate, be merry, etc. Any new news and I'll update the thread. Also translations and translation corrections on news are very much welcome.

A new preview from Dengeki:

If I've read the Google Translation right:

-Gundam Unicorn will not have any scenarios/factions/events associated with it. Only Mobile Suits Characters are included.
-No word on if units and characters from Hathaway's Flash are returning or not. (Probably will but it would be nice if we were given a hint)
-Events cover everything from the OYW up to the Second Neo-Zeon struggle.
-In some Commander Scenarios it is possible to progress and take over the faction you are fighting for and become a faction leader.
-Map attacks have a CG animated cutscene.
-The pre-title screen opening movie will be animated (as in anime, not CG) and 1:30 min. long and features animated scenes from the game outlining the possible routes you can take. Soldier of Sorrow is the music used in the opening animation.
