I like that mecha... but would I like the game?

I am just tempted to get the collectors edition for the mecha, but I hadn't heard anything about the game before. (consumerism++)

Well, time to read about the game.

I can't help but think that this is an elaborate disguise for an MGS spin-off/tribute

I get the same idea from that short trailer, and I am buying it.
I hope it gets as "cinematic" and involving as old time MGS.

omg... how many games do they relesase in a year?

 

[sarkwalvein]

I just spent a lot of money on a PS4 Pro Spiderman edition.
And I kind of wanted to get Forza Horizon 4.
And this looks quite nice.
I think I will go bankrupt this year.

Nice but mecha ? Not my things. I guess I will pass on this one.

 

[KingVamp]

It looks nice, but I want to see more game play.

I know right? It's almost like they're a publisher or something.
