E3 Trailer: White Knight Chronicles
Continuing with our E3 mecha theme, here’s the trailer to White Knight Chronicles… okay, sure, it’s not a robot, but hell, big-ass metal thing attacking other big-ass metal things? Angst and melodrama? Sounds like a mecha anime to me.
E3 Trailer: Tekken 6
Oh be still my heart. I see an android girl, and a giant mecha walker fighting. Don’t really understand what the fuss is about the blur effects though. Another notable thing in this trailer is that one stage is apparently in mid-air, and on an incline. That should make things interesting.
