"Capcom game for $200"

Capcom have announced a planned November release for "Steel Batallion," a tank combat game for Xbox that will be packaged with a custom 40-button game controller and will sell for $200 in the US so £200 in the UK.

As long as the difficulty curve isn't too high. It would be a tad frustrating to keep dying all the time and having your save go with it.

I bet it would make a good Xbox Live game.

If you think the controller is hardcore - wait till you see the game. When your mech is about to blow, you have to make sure you eject in time. If you go up with the mech, its not a case of going back to your last save point or the beginning of the level - the game erases your game save !
So if you die as such thats it, your career is over and you have to start again as a new pilot. Now thats hardcore !

Seems a little hard to find FIVE brilliant games at once these days...

Woah.. sounds good. But I'd rather get five brilliant games than one brilliant game and a cockpit.

Pretty hardcore stuff then.

Gonna keep my eye on this one...

Actually no they're not - this controller is huge, complete with foot pedals. Remember, thoe whole idea of it is to give you the feel of being at the cockpit controls of a mech.

£200.00? 40 Buttons? Sounds like someone's having you on mate.

You should be able to test out the custom controller though. The Xbox pad will be seriously limited if the custom thing has 40 buttons.

No doubt Gamestation will have one set up for demonstration.

You will be able to buy the game on its own for around 40 quid.

£200 eh?

mmm...wonder if Blockbusters will be renting it out for £3.75?

Seriously though, a game that costs more than the actual console? There bloody well better be the option to try before you buy!
