[QUOTE=acds;28964527]Which looks like shit on consoles and has a ton of pop-ins (heck it looks pretty bad on PC too compared to Crysis 1).[/QUOTE]
It looks fine on both.
I was not ready for the awesome that hit me while watching those videos.
This game looks amazing. It's like a mix of phantom crash and mechassault (not that anyone's played phantom crash :saddowns:)
I hope there's heaps of customisation.

I loved Phantom Crash! I always ended up getting frustrated though.
[h2]NEW FOOTAGE[/h2]

[editline]14th June 2011[/editline]
With voiceover by the art director
YESYESYESYES
Upgrades, customization, beauty, everything!
Though mechs still move a little to swiftly.
Edit: Nevermind it's a light mech.
Would be cool if it had a full sp campaign, but I guess that's not to expect from indie of such quality. Or coop for that matter.

I don't think anything is beyond this team.

Hopefully
They mention "Like HALO" too often in the interviews.
RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE
A LOT of new footage has been released.

Oh, and apparently someone has acquired the rights to make a movie out of it. Yeah, already.

They do mention Halo a lot but they're talking about the pacing of gameplay, which was one of the things Halo did very, very well.

Holy shit. Apart from the visuals (which we've already said are absolutely mindblowing) there are a few things that made me love this game more:
-THAT FUCKING GUNSHIP JESUS CHRIST
-You can recharge your health by going into sleep mode. Good, because I wondered whether you would be able to replenish damage.
-The music is incredibly atmospheric.
The only problem I have with the game is the backstory. I've heard it all before: "we've built up the Earth way too much, and now natural resources are at an all time low. SO GO FIGHT FOR THAT OIL SON OR WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE."
Reminded me of Cortex Command.
Eh can't really complain about the last thing since this is MP only.

No no no, it's not Earth. It was some kind of mining colony that got cut off from the rest of the galaxy somehow. So they had no reason to preserve the planet's resources, until now when they're cut off and running out.

The music [I]is[/I] amazing though.
I would love to be able to kinda out maneuver enemies with the flying requiring skill.
[QUOTE=MadPro119;32068850]I would love to be able to kinda out maneuver enemies with the flying requiring skill.[/QUOTE]
Looks like you're in luck, because the fuel burns so quickly and players have so much hp this game is going to be all about maneuvering.
[QUOTE=NanoSquid;32069001]Looks like you're in luck, because the fuel burns so quickly and players have so much hp this game is going to be all about maneuvering.[/QUOTE]
But becuase fuel burns up so quickly it seems like maneuvering wont matter quite so much. I want longish flying gunfight chases, backwards, upside down through tight city streets, under and over bridges, with the winner triumphant due to his superior skills in flight.
Recently thats all I have been saying. I want an fps where its about movement not shooting. I tried Brink with the parkour system but that sucked.
So, how far has the project come? I know that it seems pretty playable, but I would like to know when to expect this game to be arriving. I think that this is one of the few mech games I've ever been excited about. I can't wait!
They said early 2012 in the last video up there, but he also added a "We won't ship it 'til it's done" at the end. Which is a good thing, they want to make sure it's polished.
Well, I only got to wait a little bit longer...
Thanks!
I almost burst when they said 9 people are working on this

3 of which are just interns, so really it's only [I]6[/I]
Gameplay looks like a mix between Mechwarrior, Tribes and UT3. Awesome.
