[nem]

That vid is awesome - can say hand on heart if it's 360 only I WILL buy one just for this.

It's on PS3 as well

Yup the BUGS ARE EVERYWHERE, HELP, we need the EDF.

Is this funny?

More vehicle info here!

The Epsilon Armored Railgun, the HU04 Bruto Helicopter, and the E651 Titan tank are featured. All three vehicles feature seating and armaments for three players. There's basically room for a driver/pilot and two turret gunners in each war machine.

From the snaps on that site, it looks like the mothership and the walking fortress are returning.

I think I love the pandemonium going on in this shot of the tank:

Played the ps2 version yesterday. I swear it hit 1 frame per second at one point. Still amazing fun thought. I'm on mission 67 and can't kill the huge mecha Godzilla.

*CRACKLE* Updated news incoming, Storm 1!*CRACKLE*

There's an updated list of vehicles on the EDF4/2025 website - http://www.d3p.co.jp/edf4/#weapon


There are several options for each type of transport, including three tanks and two mechs.

Let's just hope they don't decide to charge extra to play it in co-op or buy robots to collect the weapon-drops...

Amazon.co.jp has it up for pre-order, but there's no news on a Western release date, however it looks like http://www.namcobandaigames.eu is getting ready to post more information (nothing yet, though), so it's looking positive we'll get a release in Europe too.

There is also a NEW trailer:

This needs to come out ASAP. Pretty much the only game announced I want this year!

Quality subtitles in that vid.

My favourite lines were:

"You beastly creature!"
"You giant creature!!"
"There is a possible threat that these new flying giant enemies will become stronger than Wing Divers!"

I'm with Loftgroover. This really is my only game on the radar in 2013!

This needs to come out ASAP. Pretty much the only game announced I want this year!

Aye me too, been playing IA virtually non-stop since November.

[nakamura]

The English in the trailer and PEGI rating pretty much confirm it will hit our shores.

Boop............

[MisterBubbles]

Hope we get this classic line " This is HQ, it looks like these monsters are beating off humans." .

[Yakumo]

Had mine on order from Amazon for months now. The odd thing that my pre-order said it was ordered on January 30th ??? Still, 1500 odd yen off so I'm happy.

*CRACKLE* Come in, Storm 1, are you reading? Over.*CRACKLE*

Website updated! List of enemies added. So far, it's the same enemies from 2017 with a couple of extras including:

WASPS!

I like the shape, such as a bee,
Huge creature with the ability to fly higher than the wing diver.
Flying freely through the air,
By projecting the human hunt giant needle from the end of the barrel.

MOBILE SHIELDS!

Foreigner with a new weapon of defense screen generator, carry.
Not armed, even dull movement, combat power is equal to zero,
Spread domed called protective screen
Raises the energy of the wall to block any physical attack.
Are powerless not reach the inside of the screen even airstrikes defense,
Protect friendly forces from any attack.
