Here's a quote from the main page and some media. [quote]Heavy Gear Assault is the first next-generation mech game in development for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms. Featuring fully destructible environments and Gears, episodic singleplayer story missions, robust multiplayer e-sports integration and dynamic gun-and-melee combat that puts players in control of their pilot, Heavy Gear Assault pushes the boundaries of mech games as only Unreal Engine 4 makes possible.[/quote] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPtM811cGEg[/media] [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xklK8POQ4JI[/media] [img]http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/04/HeavyGearAssault.jpg[/img] [img]http://megagames.com/sites/default/files/game-images/Heavy%20Gear%20Assault%201.jpg[/img] [img]http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/26/HeavyGearAssault.jpg[/img] My personal thought... I think it's promising but it will not have that open world feeling the previous games had, judging by the screenshots and the concept of the arena battles, unless the arenas are huge.

I'm sold.

Sold.

This reminds me of Phantom Crash.

Holy shit I never thought they would remake this. Doesn't look like they're going to remake the Zero-G battles from HG2 though, and that's disappointing. I liked those.

Fucking sold!

Sold! SOLD! [B][U]SOLD![/U][/B]

SELL! SELL! SELL! Is there any game footage out yet or is it still all demo stuff?

Reading more into this, I ain't dropping a dime onto this until the Battle Module comes out or is close to coming out. I want to see more of this before I decide about giving them money, just to be sure.

This looks fuckawesome

looks alright but I'll wait till i see something special or something better to come out for this game to peak my interest.

[QUOTE=Agoat;43626812]This reminds me of Phantom Crash.[/QUOTE] That's what popped into my head too! :D

Is there any way to play the old games on newer PCs?

I still have an erection from HG2 This reminds me of the 3d tv show more than the games though

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;43630511]I still have an erection from HG2 This reminds me of the 3d tv show more than the games though[/QUOTE] Fightbox? Or Bamzooki?

[QUOTE=Morbo!!!;43630511]I still have an erection from HG2 This reminds me of the 3d tv show more than the games though[/QUOTE] I used to watch the SHIT out of that show and always found it funny how in the first game you play as the northerners which is where the shows team of antagonists come from.

I can't remember much of Heavy Gear, were there any arena battles in the two old games?

[QUOTE=PaChIrA;43633088]I can't remember much of Heavy Gear, were there any arena battles in the two old games?[/QUOTE] There were exactly none outside of multiplayer if I remember right, which is why this is so jarring to me. I played a little bit of the first game, and much more of the second when when it was new. It was a fun alternative to Mechwarrior 3. I'm happy that they've actually been working on this after the initial funding drive fell through, but I'll be holding off on buying into anything until I see real and hear about real gameplay. Considering the size of the mechs and style of the game I'm wondering if this will control more like a first person shooter than a walking tank.

Added a referral link. Use it please. :3:

I wish someone would remake HG1. That had some fantastic MP considering its age.
