Mytran Wars intro takes a page from C&C

by Andrew Yoon { Mar 31st 2009 at 9:00PM }

Deep Silver's long-delayed turn-based strategy effort for PSP is finally coming ... we think. The company released the intro to the upcoming game, and the live action sequence reminds us a lot of the classic Command & Conquer cinematics. This three minute clip emphasizes the importance of resources in the game and sets up the conflict with -- you guessed it -- giant robots.

This definitely looks interesting, but I gotta say, from the pictures, it looks like a turn-based strategy game and not an RTS. I'll take your word for it, Andrew. Either way, it looks very intriguing and I like the art style. The PSP could definitely use more of these titles, so I am probably going to pick this up when it releases.

It's actually turn-based. I've been so used to typing "RTS" that it slipped my mind! But yeah, if you want to check out old coverage of the game:

This game definitely looks good and that's where it ends. The gameplay is uninspired and boring, the interface mechanics are clunky and slow and most of all, the voice acting is simply horrendous. Now, I'm not one who usually complains too much about bad acting or story because let's face it, the majority of video games have pretty lame story and voice acting, but the acting here is sooo bad it hurts. It's really painful. And yeah, it is definitely an SRPG, not RTS.

Is it a RTS? I don't think so. Then since PSP Fanboy died, no one at Joystiq pays any attention to the PSP anymore, posting stories only as an afterthought...

I still love the PSP! Look, there's a number of PSP stories back to back! But yes, there are typos and oversights which I'll try to be more vigilant about.

ehh hopefully this will be fairly good. alot of turn based games are really unbalanced for me

If this game is even half as good as the legendary Front Mission games (IMO), then I'm sold.

Hot but single? Rich but lonely? Well, life is so wonderful, why not find someone who is similar with you to enjoy the happy time together??

Hurrah for the slight return of some exclusive PSP news. Like others I was (and still am) dissapointed with the change in format. Gone are the days when there was a overseas release date post and gone are the times when even the smallest PSP news was given it's own post. There's a lot of good PSP news and gossip showing up around the web but none of it seems to make its way to this blog. Instead we get the throwaway, all-console-inclusive posts. This used to feel like a community of PSP owners and enthusiasts, but now it seems like it's just another cog in the Joystiq machine.
