Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor

Ever since a new Steel Battalion for Kinect was announced, we have been wondering how exactly the original game's 40 plus button controller would translate into motion controls. Now we have a much better idea.

We've had some hands on time with the game, but the trailer below provides a much clearer picture of how it all works. You'll be gesturing to change viewpoints, change ammo types, and punch your teammates among many other things. It looks there is going to a self-destruct option that will be similar to the eject button from the original game. In the original Steel Battalion for Xbox, if you didn't eject from your mech in time when you were near death, your save would be deleted and you would have to start the game over. The self-destruct button looks like it may serve a similar purpose here.

Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor should be available this summer for Xbox 360.
