TRAILER

[Ironclad]

The game is looking good. It seems to be getting better. The framerate was solid, I think I only saw it drop once. The cutscenes look alright, but the voice acting is just :lol
I'm really glad they tore Advance Wars away from this.

 

[Red Blaster]

Looks like a kiddie version of BF2 from the screens.

 

[Leatherface]

cant wait for this...looks fun as hell!

 

[Fëanor]

Looks pretty cool

 

[happyfunball]

Totally badass, I dig the whole cartoony look they kept and the action/strategy gameplay looks interesting

 

[talking head]

i wish they'd get rid of the comic sans font in game.

 

[Rocket Punch]

This looks so awesome and so mine!

 

[Firest0rm]

That looks very good.

 

[captainbiotch]

Whats up with the N64 style fog .

Looks really interesting though. I've always been a believer in this game.

 

[Matlock]

Shoulda been online.

 

[Jive Turkey]

Wow...Suddenly my interest in this title has gone up considerably.

 

[Firest0rm]

Shoulda been online.

Hopefully they'll release a sequel for Revolution, which the developers have already said their interested in doing. If this turns out great then I think they should turn into a big online franchise for Revolution.

 

[blindrocket]

Whoa, I'm pleasantly surprised. Looks good.

 

[Lo-Volt]

A preliminary thumbs-up from me. Looks like some good old fun.

 

[Mupepe]

Gets my approval, so it may continue.

 

[Ninja Scooter]

looks alright. Kinda reminds me of MErcenaries. I don't think i'd buy it though.

 

[neo2046]

I want the game now

 

[midnightguy]

this game is SO mine. one of a handful of Gamecube games that will keep mine running...

OMG! believe the hype! - this game looks so badass! (gameplay wise)

 

[opkal]

Looking pretty good.

And was it just me, or does it look like your character runs in slow motion?

 

[Tony HoTT]

jesus fucker, this game actually looks pretty good except that shitty running animation. Looks pretty unique.

 

[AndoCalrissian]

I want to be interested in this game, but the lack of multiplayer is downright ridiculous.

 

[The Faceless Master]

I want to be interested in this game, but the lack of multiplayer is downright ridiculous.

WHAT?

that's downright crazy

you mean this is single player only?

 

[Speevy]

Still looks pretty bad to me. Ugly graphics, bad animation, controls look awkward. Maybe it's fun, but I'm sure there's something better on the market. Like someone said, Mercenaries would be a good start.

If you happen to only own a Gamecube, I would suggest the purchase of the Gameboy Player and the original Advance Wars.

 

[truesayian]

this is mine. looks like a blast.

 

[Zeo]

Wow, looks fun as hell. GC has some good stuff coming this year methinks.

 

[The Main Event]

Wow, I'm actually impressed.

Hype +1000

 

[Ronin]

I'm not sure if I'm watching the same vid as everyone else.

 

[Tiktaalik]

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. The gameplay looks good. Lots of explosions and action. I can't believe there's no multiplayer though. I read in an interview that the developer couldn't figure out a good way of implimenting it. Maybe framerate problems or just the lack of online infrastructure. Hopefully next gen we'll see something like this online.

 

[Deleted member 1235]

Looks really fun.

 

[talking head]

did anyone else think of this when they first saw that desert picture?

 

[Sagitario]

My brother is going to love this game...

 

[Tellaerin]

The game is looking good. It seems to be getting better. The framerate was solid, I think I only saw it drop once. The cutscenes look alright, but the voice acting is just :lol

You're basing your opinion of the voice acting on the one line of spoken dialogue in the trailer? Don't you think it's a wee bit early to be passing judgment?

I've been interested in this game since it was first announced. Glad to see it shaping up nicely.

I'm really glad they tore Advance Wars away from this.

Why? People here keep saying that, but a) the game hardly seems like it would have been a black mark on the good name of Advance Wars (especially after seeing the trailer), and b) changing the name of this game to 'Battalion Wars' is not going to magically increase the likelihood of Nintendo releasing a 'real' AW on the 'Cube, as some people seem to believe (or more accurately, desperately hope for). I'd rather have seen them keep the AW title to help promote the game (since I think it deserves to succeed, and the tie-in would definitely have helped sales), and enlist IS to provide character designs to tie it a little more closely to the other games.

 

[MutFox]

And was it just me, or does it look like your character runs in slow motion?

It does look slow...
Has looked slow since the very first vids. (Thought they would fix it.)
An easy fix though. (Hopefully they do it, looks kinda weird.)

 

[ziran]

yeah, kinda looks like they're battling on the moon

looks interesting and fun, i think i'll wait for a review though.

 

[Ash Housewares]

there's some promise, I won't lose hope yet

 

[dannyQ]

the art style is pretty unique which is pretty cool and would feel a huge gap in the Gamecubes library

and why are people comparing this to Mercenaries

 

[thestopsign]

I will pick this game up if it turns out good once it hits $20. A nice art style and promising gameplay may turn this into a sleeper hit.

 

[Bobety]

The trailer looked very cool, but no multiplayer? Thats the only reason I'd buy a game like this.

 

[spliced]

I don't know if the gameplay will suit my tastes, but the art style is really cool, it makes me think of the NES. I'd like to see an Excitebike done in this style.

 

[shibbs]

Looks really cool, much better than i saw it last time.

 

[Spike]

Hey, that actually doesn't look too bad. Hmm...

 

[MrPing1000]

looking good!, needs multiplayer though

 

[akascream]

The art in this game is first rate. I hope the action/rts gameplay was implemented well. I really like the sound of it.

Has anyone played this at E3? The E3 trailer is better than the one just released.

Nice thanks for the link, it seems I will be spending some money on this title.

 

[sammy]

This game was a blast to play at E3 --- even in its unpollished state, I came back to it more than any game at E3 (besides of ShadowofColossus)

It really made me aware that there arent many fun shooters that just aim at being *fun* --- a nice simple dose of strategy sealed the deal.

Hell my gf is even buying a Cube to get this game (and not Zelda) after she played it at E3 ----

EDIT: man, the fog really didn't seem that bad in the actual gameplay --- the sense of scale was almost on par with a Battlefield title...... maybe 'cause they aren't showing many screen-shots from the normal grunt characters.....
Anyways, the character weight/animation and the physics of the tank were some of the best ever.

They seem to be unaware that the game has no multiplayer mode.
