Gameplay Details and New Trailer Unveiled for Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor

It's alive! Announced at last years TGS with the briefest of trailers, Capcom have finally fully unveiled Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, a first person mech combat game exclusive to Xbox 360 and Kinect.

Set in 2082, Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor depicts a world devoid of semiconductors, with warfare fought in vertical mech tanks across the war torn streets of North America and the rest of the world.

The game is set to deliver an "unprecedented level of control and interaction", by utilizing the traditional Xbox 360 controller for tank movement, aiming and firing of the main guns. Kinect is used for a "wide variety of other combat-crucial actions", from starting the engines, to manning the scope and turret mounted machine gun.
