Wow, Atlus is really pushing the XBox 360 for Strategy/RPGs: this is the third one they have planned for this year.
"Dear Atlus Faithful,
Beasts of Steel. Diverse battlegrounds. An intense covert military campaign in the middle of a tense cold war. Advanced tactics including support fire and electromagnetic pulse systems. Tons of customization and upgrade options, including melee weapons, rockets, rifles, machine guns, shotguns, cannons, and more.
Zoids Assault, a new and decidedly original strategy RPG take on the long-running Zoids series, brings all of the above and more to the Xbox 360® this August."
And here's the website: http://www.atlus.com/zoids/
Gameplay looks to be pretty similar to Front Mission and the graphics look promising so I say bring it on!

Are either of them going to be any good?
And why 3? When and where were 1 and 2?!

I'd think about resisting, but I know it's futile.
Imagine the customization on this game too.
But no. Its a S-RPG. I'm still happy though. Let the wallet rape continue.

You just have to get into the back story=
German Space Colonists find a world inhabited my living machines. They then modifiy them for use in battle.
there is nothing not awesome about that setting.
Modified for really boring battle apparently. I guess SRW games have spoiled me. I just can't watch a little machine gun fire off a few rounds, or a tank gun blast the side of a robot. I need crazy awesome animations with ridiculous attacks.
I'll still look into it, because I strive to like anything with giant robots

True story.
I like giant robots and all, but like Operation Darkness I'm gonna wait to hear how it is.
I remember that during my school years that show used to be on uncomfortablely early in the morning, yet I'd still get up and watch it.
The GCN game? Not terrible!

Bleh, If there is no color/fun time with it I may become disappointed already with this title. Zoids should never venture towards realism. That just kills it.
Which I think is a shitty direction for them to take. Why not make this super over the top like the shows are? As said above, action packed super robot wars style attacks are way more interesting then "50 Cal Machine Gun Burst for 10 damage"
Last time I checked if I wanted to play a mech game like Front Mission.. I'd play Front Mission..
I never asked for this!
When things like this try to be too serious, it always fucks shit up. Case in point- Mechassault 2. I'm still sore over that game. They fucked that one up so badly. I'm still annoyed at how it turned out.
Also just gonna say..
Every fucking "character" on the website looks exactly the same! Just a slightly different helmet.
I never asked for this!
fixd :P
Were there multiple Zoid anime series? I seem to remember vast differences in the cast and overall plots in some of the episodes. I remember one that seemed to have a largely military focus and another where a teenager and his friends traveled around fighting in some sort of tournament.
Or quite possibly I'm just crossing my Giant Robot Animes.
From what I can tell I enjoyed the mishmash of Chaotic Century and Guardian Force I was able to see and was New Century Zero was the one that annoyed me.
Giant animal-bots for warfare? Awesome. Giant animal-bots acting as Pokemon? Less awesome.
Wonder if I can find them cheap on DVD. I need something to tide me over until Avatar Season 3 comes out.
Anyways back to the game I think I might pick this up. I always thought a Zoids game could be fun and I'm a sucker for srpgs.
And god, the voice acting can hurt. So. Much sometimes.
I've been waiting years for a good srpg to be honest. The last one I really enjoyed was FFtactics for the PSX. It's one of my favorite games, and while I enjoyed Front mission 3, it's not quite as good.
Will they call it a Wardick, or Warshark?
This may decide whether or not I buy this game. Because I need a game where I can pilot a beam cannon armed wardick across a desert.
1. They called one of the "zoids" Liger, and that's awesome. After all, who wouldn't want a giant robot that's bred for it's skills in magic?
2. The "zoids" kinda look like the robots from Voltron, and I loved Voltron back in the day.
Wait wait wait... there are people who didn't like Mechassault 2 because it was too serious, and insufficiently over the top? Wow.
Also, this doesn't look too bad but the only time I like giant stompy mechs is when I'm playing Armored Core. Oh god, I just realized I can buy Armored Core 4!
My problems with the Operation Darkness demo were as follows:
1) Seems like I spent more time moving my characters across the overly big levels than actually fighting.
2) Having surprise reinforcements appear on the enemy side feels like cheating to me.
