Iron Galaxy Announces Action Game, "Extinction" for PC/XB1/PS4
... would have cleared it up some. When I clicked the title, I thought it'd be something like an action figure mass melee game.
Anywho, considering the last game that tasked me with attacking on some titans like this was "Ragnarok Odyssey: ACE", I can deal with this.
I don't feel like we see many 3rd person action games that try and work a combat scale like this anymore. It definitely looks like it has a higher level of polish and focus than your average EDF game (which I still enjoy immensely), and thank goodness it's not another boring military gun/arrow shooting bullet-time game or some trite zombie hoard me-too.
I'm also glad it's not forcing some obvious loot or custom main character stuff out this early. RPG elements in EVERYTHING has gotten pretty tiresome as well. I don't mind if it ends up with some, though I'd honestly prefer a focused weapon set and dev-designed armors.
Last years E3 made me feel as if everyone was pulling from the same genres, enemies, and themes much too often. Even if this game has derivative parts, at least they look to pull from things 3, 5, or 10+ years old, rather than from a similar game 3 booths down on the show floor. That's already oddly refreshing.
