@Cyrisaurus: I agree. Star hawk was the first thing I thought of with this game. And yes many will say that Starhawk ripped off transformers..but this looks like a blatant rip off of starhawk ideas

Uhh... they directly ripped off Starhawk with that jet/mech. I usually look past games for having similar ideas, but that's a little too blatant.

Haha come on man, you can't be serious. I have seen that shit in cartoons, video games, and the first god damn transformers movie. Warhawk/Starhawk are not the first.

I played it, it's pretty not great... Good start but the balance is wack. You can basically capture without any risk as long as you have a base nearby because you heal so fast.

Hold it!

Did that guy say the Fat Princess people shut down?

Yep, he did. He said when Titan Studios shut down, they formed Carbon Games. I never got around to Fat Princess but it looked like it might be a good time for a bit. Not sure how it's doing now, seems like a very multiplayer reliant game.

For sure. FP was one of the best games I've had the pleasure of playing in the past 10 years.

Yeah it was fantastic, too bad most people on PSN don't have head sets which made coordination impossible at times

It's hard to hear due to the background noise, but to me the last second of conversation sounds like this:

"Well, the game looks awful."

"Yeah, it's...it's...pretty great."

I just spent some time playing the game and it is pretty cool. The only problem I have with it is that there is a lot to learn but the tutorial isnt very good. I still dont know how to make the individual units move and what each unit is. Other than that, the game is pretty fun. I would suggest people try it out this weekend if you are interested because there are some unlockables for only this weekend.

You know what. Yes! This is what I want for game coverage from now on. Just some dude playing a game, and learning about it. I'm so tired of trailers. Give me a Quick Look EX any day.

Why didn't someone think of a jet that turns into a robot before?!?! Or is it that it is a robot that turns into a jet?

I always wondered why no one used the "jet into mech" idea in games. Robotech showed just how awesome it is.

Videos like this always make me feel like I'm missing an inside joke.

But that game does look alright.

Red Alert 3 and Starcraft 2 did it.

I love the idea of a more streamlined Herzog Zwei.

This game is a sci-fi DOTA with a focus on much faster combat. It's really really well done and free. I'm enjoying it a lot.

@mrwolf710: Someone handed me a controller mid game and I had no idea what I was doing. I just got home from PAX and want to try more because it seems like it has a lot of potential.

I remember when IGN announced this for PSN. So seeing it at PAX, running on Chrome Browsers, was a shock. The game looks awesome, but ...nuts to that. I wanna play it with a PS3 controller.
