Details inside with two sexy pictures of very large robots
Microsoft have announced that Day 1 Studios (creators of the original) are currently developing MechAssault 2 and expect it to be ready for Christmas. For those who like their destruction to be at the hands of preposterously large mechanoids, notable details are below and, of course, those shiny new screens await your perusal.
The major direction change that Day 1 have taken revolves around the playable character. In this latest instalment you"re no longer restricted to playing as only one Mech. Now you are the human controller, rather than the Mech (although there"s no viewpoint difference) and as such can control various vehicles. This should open up the gameplay a tad and add some variety to the fun as Tanks, Vertical TakeOff, Landing crafts (VTOLs) and BattleArmor will be at your disposal besides the more standard Mechs.
