very impressive work for such a short period. Though I thought it looked better before they started strafing and jumping around...was hoping for something a little slower paced.

Absolutely amazing. I have similar thoughts to Psyduck though. When mechs move that fast you may as well have just made an FPS. It did seem that some of the larger mechs were slow paced though. Clearly I just want Steel Battalion.

Doesn't it just look like a Gundam game with a western facade?

[Brad]

Which bits of it are like a gundam game? The bits where there are mechs and they can shoot weapons? Not sure how you make a mech game that wouldn't look like Gundam really.

Looks absolutely jaw dropping for 9 guys work, the environments look as good as some KZ2 stuff, im well up for this.

I mean the flying around shooting at each other over the tops of buildings type thing. Looks exactly like the kind of gameplay I see in Gundam games in the arcades, just without all the bright primary colours. I thought the typical image of a mech game was big heavy plodding machines.

agreed

i was hoping for something abit more 'Steel Battallion', at least thats what the cockpit shot reminded me of

OIC. Well, Armoured Core 4 had me flying around and over buildings too. I assumed Steel Battalion was the only game that had the more plodding approach though I'm not well versed in the genre really. All I know is SB rules!

Cockpit video at Gametrailers.
Wasn't exactly sold on the first trailer but this new video sparked some hype; a bit too shooty, but I'll keep an eye on it.

Ooh, twitchy and no iron sights. Could this be a modern fps that requires the ability to aim?!

Colour me interested
