Steel Battalion: Heavy Armo[u]r
-
So has anyone played the demo?Â
I quite like it. Not totally sure the kinect bits add more than a press of a button on the joypad, but it is different and is a nice change to see a hardcore kinect game. Reckon I stick in a pre-order. Comes out 19th June I think. -
I don't know if my kinect's a bit dusty or something, but it essentially didn't work for me.Â
And even if it did, what's the point? It doesn't feel any more like driving a tank if it did.
Would way prefer one of these babies...

Demo worked ok for me, but only did the tutorial so not tried in heat of battle. Agree that the proper controls would be better, but that was never going to happen was it?!

Ah I wanted that so bad! Read about it in the official Xbox magazine back in the day. I think I even dreamt that I had it. -
Fucking beautiful bit of kit that. How much was it again? I'm sure a few from here had it. Jealous as fuck. -
Dunno the cost, but I remember reading with much delight that it had a start up sequence.

I have it then I bought the online only Line of Contact and they took the servers down the next day. Yes, I know. Anyway, it takes pride of place on top of my wardrobe.Ross Kemp Investigative Journalist

Getting pounded by reviewers - the Edge 6 was higher than most
And I found it on my door mat tonight having forgot about my pre order. Oooops. -

Send messageThe demo seemed like it might be reasonable, guess not.
Saying that, I do reckon there might be some entertainment in it if you go in with the right expectations. -
I enjoyed the demo, so I've discounted the reviews saying the controls are outright broken. And the stompy tank angle really appeals. We shall see.

I was really excited for this but the demo put me right off. I loved all the immersive POV style of gameplay but found the Kinect controls lacking in accuracy causing quite a few moments of frustration when I tried to pull the scope down I kept pulling levers or dragging myself to the view port etc.
So for that I'm out.Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff. -

Can you not control it using Kinect? Maybe its OK played traditionally.Gamgertag: JRPC

Nope, Kinect has to be used. It's designed into the game from even the first actions. ShameNot everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.

Send messageI was dead excited about the possibilities of this, but it seems to be getting some middling to poor reviews, so bugger this for a bunch of soldiers. IGN gave it a three, if I remember correctly, and they're super generous at times.For those with an open mind, wonders always await! - Kilton (monster enthusiast) -
I REALLY wanted to like this, I really did. While the use of Kinect is cleverly implemented and rather ambitious at times I'm just shocked at how poorly it actually works. How did this get past the testing stage?!Not everything is The Best or Shit. Theres many levels between that, lets just enjoy stuff.

So, er, yeah, it's a bit crap.
Thing is, the kinect picks me up fine - you can easily see my arms waving about, but the game just doesn't want to follow them with the overlay it shows on top of the kinect picture. Very frustrating. Just starting the VT up can be a pain in the arse.
Having said that, when it gets going and works (or you're doing a bit that doesn't need kinect integration; much of the movement/firing falls under this definition thankfully) it is ok. Not brilliant, but ok.
I was desperate for a more hardcore kinect game, and a mech game. This, unfortunately so far, itches neither scratch. -

Cos I copied and pasted it from another forum I think. Sorted now.
(another forum I posted on, this is my thought on the game) -
I feel a bit sorry for kinect - people will use this game to slag it off, but it isn't the technology's fault from what I can see. It is purely a poorly made game.
Bad sign posting; cut scenes that are as if they're being played in the wrong order; terrible mission design. These are all part of gaming 101, and nothing to do with kinect.
Such a shame.
Howdy, Stranger!
