Front Mission Evolves Into Action Game This Spring

The giant mech strategy series turns shooter this September, when Square Enix brings Front Mission Evolved to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC (in 3D!!!), hoping to lure in a new legion of fans of piloting massive Wanzers.

Square Enix has dated Double Helix Games’ Front Mission spin-off for September 14, bringing futuristic Wanzer combat to players offline and online. Four multiplayer modes will spice up the mech on mech campaign, portions of which we’ve already played at last year’s Tokyo Game Show. Square and Double Helix sound excited… are you?

Perhaps this new trailer will convince you.

    Maybe I’m easy, but when it comes to games that involved giant robots beating the crap out of each other, all you need to do is advertise “Giant robots beating the crap out of each other” and I’m sold.

    Sadly, this doesn’t convince me. I was hoping it would, but I still can’t get excited about this game.

    I would have loved a current gen Front Mission strategy game, but it looks like I’m going to have to settle for the classics. Time to hook up the original playstation and pull out Front Mission 3 I guess.

    Released the same day as Halo Reach…? Sounds like a good plan!!! ahem.

    The trailer is so hilariously “Western market”. I bet the Japanese trailer is all about the story and doesn’t even have the “cool guys don’t look at explosions” ending.

    Hopefully it is able to fill the giant robot-sized hole in my heart, at any rate.
