    Question will you pay for Tekki?

    maybe my girl could get that for me for Christmas but if it gets to be up in th $240 range it is way out of my/her limits. If $$ wasn't an issuse it would already be a pre-order. just... can't... pay! Any game that is more in $$ than the console it self isn't something i can do. Will you get this good/bad game????

    I'd have to read more reviews on it, See it in action before parting with my $$.

    If its good I will get it, BTW its around $400 in Aust if it comes out.

    I'm assuming your talking about Steel Batalion, if so, the only way this game will have a following is if they have a definate list of games that will be released that are compatible with the controler.

    And even at that, i feel most would wait to see the games actually materialize in stores.

    $250 is a tough nut to crack for 1 game, and unfortunatly for SB i can think of 5 games i would want that will be released around the same time.

    I wonder if i'll be able to rent this bad boy at Blockbuster??

    ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!! I wouldn't even consider for half a second paying 250 to play one game... no where near worth my time and money. If I were rich I wouldn't care, and would probably WASTE the money, but as it stands, there is absolutely nothing of Tekki I care about. I just wanna see it in action, don't really care to play it, and I'm sure no one in Japan is buying it... frickin stoopid to even put it out if ya ask me.

    I would buy another XboX before spending that much on a single game with the controller. It would be slick if they can make a version compatible with the standard controller and just use a bunch of menu's for the other controls....
    Anyway, I will have to see it with my own eyes before i would even consider buying it.

    I'd buy it.......as soon as my ***** turns pruple and smells like rainbow sherbet. Nah really though I wouldn't even buy it for $150. I'm gonna be bathing myself in Live goodness by then.

    lol, oh c'mon you guys. This game isn't for casual gamers or general hardcore gamers. It's for hardcore mech gamers! The ones that really want to play a mech game as realistic as Tekki and ofcourse use a pretty decent mech controller. Plus Capcom didn't have us (casual and hard core gamers) in mind when making Tekki and the controller. Sheesh, I wouldn't mind just seeing the whole switching on the VT thing works. I won't by buying this game but I am damn well going to have a go as soon as I can find a Kiosk for it!

    PS. I might get it when it comes out for only £100. £80 - 60 for a second hand. So I pretty much have to wait a year or more after it's release before I can finally own it. That or I can sell 30 of my games.

    TEKKI WILL NOT COST $250

    Since that's settled....

    I will be there the day Tekki comes out to pick it up. It is a sweet looking game, and extremely innovative... I just need to find some space for the controller....

    OK... here's the deal... if it costs more then 2 games, I'm not buying it. Too bad.

    It's just way too much. I'll have to read the reviews too.

    I wouldn't mind trading for the game.

    If it's 150 YES I will get it. If it stays 200 I may not.

    That controller is just toooo much price wise and depth wise. I bet it for some it will be a prized possesion and for others it would just take up space. Personally I have a problem with 6 buttons, 2 triggers and 2 analog sticks at times...LOL! So I know this controller wont be for me. But I would like to see someone who knows what they are doing use it.

    So in summary to me its not worth the money, but to somone else its worth more. Have fun with it whoever buys it.

    Assuming that the price is $150 (just because this seems to be the general consensus) My main problem will be how to play this.

    The controller seems large, even considering the number of buttons and such. I have a small room and no table between by bed/couch and my TV. Sure I could move a box or something to play, but I'm not sure how it'll all work out.

    All that aside, as long as the game lives up to its hype, I'll probably buy it. Would be nice if it was a persistent universe, (maybe it is, but I haven't seen anything that states that.) but hopefully it'll get me by until they finally release the mech game that I've been waiting for lo these many years.
    RIP Dave

    from what i read over at gamespot, the controller is really plastic feeling (since its all plastic i guess). Doesn't have alot of weight to it and they felt like the actuall controls for movement and trust would break (joysticks). Said it was fun though, but no force feedback which kinda sucks, a game like that really should have some sort of force feedback to make it more realistic.
