Ben-DutkaThese days, you just can't have a release date announcement without pre-order incentives.
Today, Square-Enix has announced that Front Mission: Evolved has received a finalized release date of September 28, 2010 for North America. Developed along with Double Helix, this high-tech mech extravaganza will be available for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 and PC. If you like what you've seen thus far and wish to be part of the action this fall, you can nab two exclusive classic Front Mission wanzers if you pre-order your copy at either GameStop, Best Buy or Amazon. Dropping your deposit at any of these retailers will net you Calm, a relatively benign-looking war machine that is "unmatched in melee combat as well as long-range firefights when equipped with the appropriate weapons." Rexon will also be included; it's another mech that has been featured in past titles in the franchise, and this one is a "skilled sniper-type." With gameplay that appears to be fast, fluid and entertaining, Front Mission: Evolved could hit the mark.
The strategy/RPG formula may be no more but that's okay; companies like Nippon Ichi will still keep that aging type alive for a while. We hope.

Im not sure how I feel about this new version of Front Mission. Yesterday,I played FM3 and loved every minute. Im hoping this version will not let me down.
Unfortunately I have not liked what I've seen thus far..
Im both happy and sad about this ditching strategy. No matter how great a strategy game is I just can never finish one. Turn based strategy games bore the hell out of me. Either the gameplay gets old fast setting up combos/chains/formations, I can't control my entire team in a turn while the enemy can, or the enemy AI isn't worth a damn.
I LOVE the stories but I haven't beaten any turn based strategy game in years.
This isn't looking bad at all. It might very well be a proper Shogo/ZoE fill-in.
I wish this to be good, but I doubt it. Hopefully the reviews will change my mind.
nice, lets hope it does not turn out like that other mech game!
looking forward to play this game
yea… remind me how the japan dev.'s are running outta money game looks underwhelming and they haven't even shown any gameplay and it's coming in 2 months? terrible execution..
