    That's all I know about it aswell. Apparently insanely difficult, but with some fun here and there.

    To some it was a bad game, but to me it was a crazy ass fun shooter where you get to shoot giant ants, robots, and robotic T-rex.
     
    So I can't wait for this to come out!

    Yes! EDF 2017 Was the best budget game I've ever played. I mean, whats not to love about it? Mechs, robots, ants, motherships, explosions... and a fully destructable environment. Best  £17 I've ever spent

    Oh, yes, EDF 2017. "Do you like death? Then die!". One of the best collection of one-liners in history.

    Great news, been hoping another one of these would come out.  One of the first low budget gems for the 360 as well.

    This. 
     
     
    EDF 2017 was awesome, 
    I have put like 30 hours into it over the last few years, And I still put it in from time to time and play for a couple hours  
     
     
    Also,  
    EDF 2017 is NOT "the first one" 
    That honor goes to  Monster Attack  (Feb, 2004)
    Then EDF 2017  (March, 2007)
    Then Global Defence Force (April, 2007)
    Then Global Defence Force Tactics (June, 2007)

    Only Earth Defense Force game I've played was on the SNES. These later Earth Defense Force games looked terrible.

    It was a good game in some ways.  If they sell it at $30 or lower, it'll be a good deal.
     
    What are the chances this'll be a 3DS game instead of 360/PS3?

    Awww, shit. That is AWESOME NEWS. God, EDF 2017 is the duck's nuts. I keep meaning to go back and have a few grind sessions with it so I can be in more of a position to tackle the harder difficulties. I think I've got only got a few levels on Hard to go, but then I've got bloody Hardest and Inferno to do. I'll probably have to try and enlist a second player for once if I'm going to conquer those.
     
    Man, this news has made my morning.

    @Devil240Z:  Global Defense Force is definitely available in the UK, and is brilliant. As well as standard soldier dude you can play as a girl with a jetpack and all sorts of crazy experimental plasma weapons.
     
    Also, great news about a sequel. Haters need to play past the first ten levels, because the remaining forty or so from then on fill the screen with all manners of giant robots, spiders, godzillas (godzilli?) and spaceships all gunning for you. It's great.

    So have they said anything on what console it will be on? I'm hoping to see a Wii release... but a PC version would be bad ass (probably will never happen).
