There are some critics who claim that hardcore video games and genres such as action titles and shooters simply cannot be done well on current motion control technology, that the Kinect, Move and Wiimote devices are reserved for casual gaming only. But if one type of action-oriented “hardcore” type of video game could work well for for the motion controls currently available on the PS3, Xbox 360 and Wii, it would definitely involve mechs.
Say hello to Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, a hardcore game in development exclusively for use with Kinect. Veteran gamers should remember the original Steel Battalion since it came out with its own super-expensive dual-joystick, 40-button controller which let you fully simulate what it was like to pilot a Vertical Tank (what the mechs are called in the franchise). The original Steel Batallion debuted on the first Xbox to rave reviews but only limited copies of it and its sequel Line of Contact were sold. Since then, fans of the mech genre dying for a more realistic and in-depth mech game have been waiting for Capcom to bring out another and that time is soon.
