FiringSquad chats with Sang-In Lee of Team Beam as he talks about Exteel, the upcoming mech action game from publisher NCSoft. You can check out the interview right here (http://www.firingsquad.com/games/exteel_interview/). Here is a snip:

FiringSquad: What can you tell us about the kinds of mech vehicles and weapons in the game?

Sang-In Lee: The robot types are separated into three categories: basic, mid-sized and speed oriented. Each robot (or Mechanaught as we are calling them in North America) consists of a head, core (upper torso), arms, legs, and jetpack. By equipping different parts, players are able to create a wide variety of visually distinctive robots with very different combat styles. The right combinations and practice will allow players to employ a winning strategy.

Basically, the interview consists of the guy claiming his mech game is different because the mechs are more like humans than actual mechs. Then he proceeds to explain what a "mech" is. Man, I'm sure pumped for this title.

Good luck competing with Chromehounds guy. This is about all the MMO I need in a mech game.

And the winning strategy invoves buying each part as a separate purchase right?

I played this at E3 a couple of years ago. It was suprisingly fun. Isn't this the one based around microtransactions?
