This looks stupid, I really really hate Japanese style mechs.

The game is coming out in three months which means it's pretty much done. The game will be terrible.

I hope the new Mechwarrior game performs because this just ain't what I'm looking for in my mech-em-ups. Looks like an off brand Armored Core...

Don't compare this to Armored Core. Armored core customization was multitudes more complicated, as well the mobility in Armored Core is what these guys wish they had implemented.

So it's Front Mission meets Armored Core minus everything that made Front Mission fun and/or interesting. I Also it says a lot about the game when the Devs can't even get excited enough to talk about their own game.  
Finally... Robo Bullet Time?

Do want Front Mission strategy game again!  
 
Instead, you do your best to ruin everything that made Front Mission awesome and unique.
 
EDGE system? You gave my Front Mission bullet time? You Fucking Idiots.
 
Its easy to tell these guys don't know what any gamers or fans want... uggghhhhh. Failure.

@MarkWahlberg: It is a Japanese play on German vernacular. It is pronounced Vaan-zer. 
 
It bums me out that they are turning Front Mission into an action game. I miss the old SRPG days. The side scrolling Front Mission titles weren't bad. If by some chance this turns out like them (doubtful) I might give it a go.

I really really really want in a game like this to be able to pick/customize for the giant mech similar to the one from the later episodes of Excel Saga.

At first I was all like, "FUCK YES! A FRONTMISSION GAMEON MY PC!", but then I was like, "wait it's not aTurnbased Strategy game?". Then I cried myself to sleep for a week.

Definitely.  I loved Chromehounds and I love the SRPG Front Missions, but this game doesn't really appeal to me.

Yo dawg, I heard you like turn based strategy so we put action in your turn based strategy so you can cry while you don't buy it.

I like Front Mission, but as a turnbased SRPG.  Games like Front Mission 3 and 4 I loved.  I'll give this one a chance, but I generally don't like actiony mech games.

- Touting really generic things as 'features' "Three leg types guys! Cool right? Right?....guys?"
- Really dorky white guys talking about this stuff, I felt a little bad for them.
- Loved the comment about the amount of detail in the environments - looked like something out of an MMO.
 
And I was willing to overlook all these things in hopes of a good customizable mech game, until the cutscene shot at the end; bad just bad. Also, sounds like Nolan got himself some more work as Generic Brown Haired Hero.

Robust customization? In mechwarrior I could choose from dozens of mechs and dozens of weapons, and potentially millions of weapons/heatsink/armor combinations. Plus this game looks too fast paced.
