It seems that the near future will be quite the fun time for fans of giant stompy robot action. Sure, a steady stream ofGundamgames satisfied some, those who love games where robots fighting isserious businesswere often left wanting.
Square Enix has placed itself in a good position to fill that niche this spring withFront Mission Evolved, an all-action iteration of the famousFront Missiontactical RPGs. The newest trailer for the game, which you can check out below, brings the drama, where a guy named Dylan needs to be reminded thatthis is war, dammit.
More than drama, however, the trailer – and its accompanying screenshots – bring a more intriguing, play-related angle to the affair: on-foot combat. I’d certainly love to see that pulled off well. Busting up a room full of dudes with an assault rifle, then stepping into your Wanzer to demolish the building that room wasin, would be utterly priceless.
Anyone else excited to see aFront Missiongame return to the fore soon? I was burned when they passed on localizingFront Mission 5back then, but maybe they can make up for it with this.
