Interesting. I never got into the SRPG games in this series because of the crazy micromanagement. Hopefully that stuff is left out of this one.
They need to make an entire game based on the internet/hacking section of FM3.
Nice to see Front Mission getting some attention on the next gens. I have played 3 and 4 in their entirety and some of the re-release of 1 [on the DS].
3 was the best of the series imo.
The micromanagement's honestly not as bad as it sounds. If you ever played Battletech/Mechwarrior back in the day, it's not even as complex as that. You're basically just juggling body parts and weapons and making sure they don't go over the chassis' weight limit.Quote:

Uhhhh...so theyre finally updating the FM games, one of the better SRPG franchises out there, but its gonna be a shooter? Yeah thats exactly what we need more of. How bout porting Front Mission 5 to the states instead.

Nah, not really. FM3 expands on your in-battle options (like hijacking :)), but the parts micromanaging never goes beyond the same durability-weight juxtaposition stuff. I believe pilots have their own attributes in 2-4 as is the norm for mech-based SRPGs -- not sure if that qualifies as micromanaging.Quote:

Give FM3 a shot, Yoshi. It's gaming literature. If you've ever liked an SRPG -- and I know you're an FFT guy -- you'll love it.
After FM4 stripped FM3 of all of its awesome features (like hijacking :(), I'll take my chances with a shooter. Besides, Front Mission: Gun Hazard was pretty good!Quote:
