What was this called in Japan?

Look how small the XBox looks compared to the controller.

It was called something different(Japanese ish) last time I saw some screenshots so I presumed its been renamed for the States and maybe Europe.

It was "Tekki", not to be confused with "Tenko" that's all about running a female prison camp during WWII.

That controller is absolutely mad. I mean .. it's like three times the size of an Xbox FFS. This is getting out of hand! ;)

This is a multiplayer game right? I mean, you'd need at least three Japanese people to operate that thing.

There is EVEN a eject button on it. You need to flip open a small plastic lid and then push it...geekpoints!

The controller is easily the most over the top piece of gaming hardware ever, I just hope the game is actually worth it.

what you really want is a force feedback link between the eject button and your chair.

WTF?!?... its even got a button called "Washing!?" 8o)

(The "Washing" button is just below the Tuner Dial and above the "weapon controlL - main" button).

So how the hell does that work?!?

LOL! I hadn't spotted that. Maybe it's for the windscreen wipers? Or maybe it makes your mecha go down to the laundrette and wash you some clean underwear?

you can import the JAP version with the controller for £240, the controller is 3 times the size of the xbox just to give you an idea of how big the brute really is.

If someone was to spend so much money on it I hope it lasts more than about 10 hours or the game itself isn't much cop...

the interface is a bit claustrophobic, i hope you can change to an external view at any time during the game.

lol

this chap reminds me of a story told by a mate of mine who manages a pension fund for a bunch of firemen in Minnesota. He had to go over there to give a presentation to them. Ended up spending most of it explaining the concept of foreign currencies.

Wow they've really spruced up that HUD, it's not invasive at all is it?

You know, I don't get that upset anymore with Otto when he makes comments like that one, because it's become obvious that he just doesn't know any better.

On the other hand, for the many of you that get that slightly unsettling feeling when you read one of his anti-(insert various countries/cultures/consoles) posts, you should be ashamed of yourselves for not speaking out against them. Just sort of looking the other way when someone misbehaves publicly has social consequences.

I know, I know, many of you probably agree with his views, but my comments are directed towards the rest of you that know better.

p.s. I know many of you think I'm an ass (am I allowed to say that?), but please try to think about what I'm saying, anyways.

Woah cyber nicco, what did I do? That was a true story. If you want to read anti-americanism into it, then that's your spin.

one of his anti-(insert various countries/cultures/consoles) posts

Hmm. I'll admit that I can come across as shall we say mildly hostile to some aspects of American culture. I like to think that I back up my views though. I don't think I've ever said anything against any other country/culture. Well, maybe Belgium. But I'm allowed, I live there.
