New trailer for Kinect only Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor



Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor is set in 2082, in "a world devoid of semiconductors, where war is waged with rudimentary weapons as new superpowers for dominance. In a twist of fate, the U.S. army has been forced to begin major landing operations on what was once its own soil."

The trailer seems like a mix of Saving Private Ryan, and giant mechs. Steel Battalion for the original XBOX used a pretty kick ass controller and foot pedals. It used this setup, along with a great presentation, in order to create one of the most realistic mech games.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor for Kinect, according to new reports, uses a combination of XBOX 360 controller for "VT movement, aiming and firing of the main guns" & Kinect for things like "from starting the engine to operating the scope or manning the turret-mounted machine gun". If the trailer is any indication, we're in for a treat sometime in 2012.
