Maybe you people don't understand what that means.
Steel Battalion was a mech simulator on the Xbox, famous for its 40-button controller that would only work with that game. It was a slavish, loving serenade to fans of simulators, and it immersed players in a way that a keyboard and mouse couldn't hope to replicate.
It was difficult beyond easy articulation.
Death in the game would erase your entire save file.
Missions could take hours.
It was one of the greatest games of the last generation.
I was one of only a few tens of thousands of people who owned a copy. And it's coming back. For Kinect.
How will it work? What has changed? I don't know. But now I'm looking at Kinect differently, and I am beginning to wonder.
