Steel Battalion

[Everay]

wow, it comes out in a few days, and i wanna know, how many of you put your money down on it, and plan to play online with Line of Contact? besides OMA, i already know hes preordered too, and from what ive read about this game, its gonna be good with clans

here is the video of the online game shown at E3, and im gonna tell you now, this video is filled with alot of over dramatic acting.

I have that game. It's cool, but very hard to a) learn b) find deskspace for. That control rig is big and bulky and if you don't place the pedals right, they're a real pain to operate.

Also, I wonder how they'll get voice-chat to work with it, since the control rig has no port for the headset.

It's cool, but so is all the loot it takes to buy it.

[Everay]

you plug your controler in slot 2, and the headset plugs in that controller, simple, and i know, ive played the game before, a local game....not cafe, but a place to play games at has one, its pretty fun. i did well with it.

and since LoC (Line of contact) will be heavly into team based gameplay, mabey we could feild enought people, if enough of you guys are gonna play, for a clan.

[Rayder]

What's the going rate for this game? Last time I saw it, the controller alone cost something like $120.

[FlakMan]

It's finally coming out? I thought it was already out for XBox. :huh:

[Peacemaker]

HFS. Teh ownage. Get a PSU squad going for that.

[Dharkbayne]

Teh sequel. Hoob.

[OneManArmy]

they are re-releasing it. its already out but in limited quantities so they are producing more so people can play LoC. yay! oh and its $200

[Rayder]

Including the desktop controller of course.

[Everay]

and excluding LoC, i think, im not sure, ive heard yes and no to that already. but then again, it was yes from Gamestop. no from Capcom.

[Fragmatic]

If I can get a PAL version, and rustle up the money, then yes :)

[OneManArmy]

yea, LoC is a seperate purchase.

[Everay]

so far thats 3 people, 2 more for a full squad, and you need xbox live as well

[Fragmatic]

I got XBL

Just want a PAL release, I'm not gonna get an NTSC Xbox for one game, and the game, and get it shipped over (We're talking about �700 for all that)

[Everay]

what do you mean, PAL and NTSC?

EDIT nvm google rocks, i see, that sucks, im not sure frag. ill look into it.

damn, i dont think so frag, sorry man, but i can say that at some time or another they did release it in eroupe, and that they are gonna release LoC there, so check into it at your local game stores.

[OneManArmy]

its the zones of sort for electronics. europe goes by the PAL standard and americas go by the NTSC standard. in other words DVDs, games, etc from one region wont play in another. (helps cut down on illegal copies i suppose)

[Dharkbayne]

I'm pretty sure you could mod it somehow to make it play it. Not completely sure though.

[Fragmatic]

http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001777EY/026-4578421-8266036 ???

hmmm. �120 :P If i can get a steady job temping for a week,. thats 1 weeks wages....

one thing... is LoC online only?

[Dharkbayne]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3079273123&category=20386 Found this, too bad I don't got 200 bucks



EDIT: LOC is NOT online only I believe, it has online, but also SP

[Fragmatic]

1. That ebay auction is in the US
2. It's NOT PAL

[Everay]

well, im not sure, ive heard both, but LoC might have both online, and offline, but the offline game will be identical to the original game. but, im not sure. also,,,120 eruo, thats like 180 american....fucksocks.

[Fragmatic]

1. THAT IS NOT FUCKING EUROS!
2. It's sold out there, I can get it for around �130 case (Yes, �, that stands for Pounds, not as in weight, as in Pounds Sterling, currency, notice how it differs from a ?, which is the euro sign)
3. If I can get a job temping for a week, I can get the money in a week, then I just have to find a place to pre order (it's out in a month)
4. I have to renew my XBL sub, and get a new headset
5. A table to place the controller on as well.
6. and 120? is = $151.976 USD, and �120 = �226.151 USD, because the pound is stronger than your puny American currency!

edit -

The ? = the image below, just the forum software won't display it!
Stupid capitalist American forum software :p (Yes, that was a joke, I live in a capitalist nation too)

[Dharkbayne]

I know it's US, I want it. Derrrr. :doh: :pooponfragmaticshead:

[Everay]

sorry, frag, its just it all looks the same to my stupid unintelligent american eyes, oh powerful one :p

now i know the difference, will i make the mistake again, yes.

and thats alot of money, damn, but still cheaper than what ill pay, bastard. :p

[Fragmatic]

In the rant, I was referring to everays post dhark, but you posted that after I mentioned me purchasing it.

I see you're wearing your "no forum sense" hat today then?

[Fragmatic]

and thats alot of money, damn, but still cheaper than what ill pay, bastard. :p

I know :D Still a shitload for a game though.

But... I have to pay -
�130 for the game (inc pre order)
�25 for new Xbox Live headset (no, can't get the cheapy madcatz ones here)
�50 or so for a table and a �5 for a trip to Ikea to get it
�however much it is to renew xbox live for a year (I think about �50)

So �260 to play a game, that's 2/3 weeks wages, that's also $490.302 USD

Sorry, I'm grumpy :p

[Everay]

so, right now thats at most 4 players, least 3, since me and OMA already have the money down and Veteran already has it, and Frag has to get the money together still, so hes the fourth, and Frag counts as the Brit guy (all clans or outfits have to have at least 1 brit guy), so, anyone else?

[Rbstr]

I would love to have it, but i have to shell out for everything Frag needs, in $'s of course

[chaoslord]

EDIT: LOC is NOT online only I believe, it has online, but also SP
LOC is online only. http://sbc.pippin.us has a lot of info and more movies on it(not my website).

[Everay]

of course thats not your website, but, i checked it out earlyer today, along with the capcom fourms. good info, on how to pilot a VT, and stuff.

[Fragmatic]

So that's an extra �40 or so for original SB :P ARGHGHGHG

[Ogge]

blablabla..... i dident ready most of the post cus... most are just spam... but

its online only
NTSC= not the same color

[Everay]

no, see, the original game comes with the controler for 200 bucks. american.

[AztecWarrior]

$200 for that? You could buy weed for $200!

[Dharkbayne]

You could buy weed for 10$

[OneManArmy]

yea but you could buy lots of weed for 200! or some of the good nugs.....


but let us get back on track. this game is gonna own your socks! (and your mammas socks!)

so what I dont really have 200 either but i do have a credit card ;) :D

[Biohazzard56]

$200 is steep

[Incompetent]

I already have the original, i zoned out on it but i'm going to try and pick up LoC.

edit: fielding a PSU team would be elite

[321]

Man that video takes forever to download.

[Dharkbayne]

I already have the original

D I E. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:
:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

[Fragmatic]

It's getting re-released anyway, so why worry?

[Dharkbayne]

I still can't afford it.

[OneManArmy]

sell your body for cash. simple.

[Everay]

:brow:

yea, feilding a PSU team would be awesome, and thats one the purposes of this thread, i wanna get a few of ya together, and we can feild our own team, and LoC, ive been reading up on it, and reading what people have said after its beta (NDA was lifted i guess), and its just, wow, my socks have flown off my feet.

[Everay]

http://sbc.pippin.us/getvideofile.asp?FName=tekki_2.asx

another video for LoC

[Fragmatic]

So you can intercept enemy comms like that? that's cool :D

[Everay]

http://sbc.pippin.us/Video/SBCO.asp

thats all the streaming vids i can find, for now. the top one is realllly good.

[Ivan]

I've been thinking about getting to. Add me to the list of might buy it.

[Everay]

4 days till its rereleased, 6 days till LoC comes out.

honestly though, i still dont have the rest of the money for them (besides what i laid down as preorder) :( ,but ill get it

[Ivan]

I can't get it right away. I have other things to pay first. So I think I might be able to pick them up next month.

[OneManArmy]
