Heavy Gear Assault, the mech game that recently announced crowd-funding plans, will be based on Unreal Engine 4. MekTek Studios and the perfectly named Stompy Bot Productions announced use of the engine today, and released a new trailer to show off just what it can do with UE4 behind it. It takes a lot of horsepower to make a robot rollerskate.
Typical! You wait a decade for a giant killbot game, then three come along at once. Publisher Stompy Bot Productions today announced Heavy Gear Assault, seeking $900,000 in crowdfunding to bring the free-to-play multiplayer game to PC. It's being made by MekTek Studios, the folks who jazzed up MechWarrior 4 for its free re-release in 2010.
Between MechWarrior Online, Hawken, MechWarrior Tactics, and the Transformers games, it's a fine time for fans of big stompy robots. Tentatively add another to your list of anticipated robo 'em ups, as the appropriately-named Stompy Bot Productions yesterday announced that it's licensed the Heavy Gear franchise for a new video game.
"I loved and miss heavy gear. So fucking awesome. Amazing music too. "
