EDF | "DESTROY ALL FANBOYS!"

http://www.youtube.com/get_player

This EDFIA teaser packs in 38 seconds of suspense while lending itself to as few minutes of questions. If it’s created using the upcoming game’s engine, I like the elements not found in the Sandlot-developed EDF titles such as the flames coming from buildings, exploding vehicles and blowing debris. That giant metal spider is a great touch, as are the redesigned spider models and better animation from those screaming civilians. OK, I’m sold – just get me some actual gameplay footage along with full details on all the game modes and I’ll be even more giddy.

I was HIGHLY skeptical for about a week or so, but a few pokes around the Internet has pretty much confirmed this. Now, all we need to find out about are who’s developing and publishing (I’m thinking Namco Bandai might be involved here), which consoles it’s on and if there’s going to be an actual retail package (a MUST in my book). I have to run out in a few minutes, but I’ll edit this post later or cook up a new one next week on my unrepentant love for the EDF series, Sandlot and the Simple 2000 lineup.

Awesome news – now let’s hope it’s playable at this year’s Tokyo Game Show!

* Well, more or less confirmed, folks. I’m in the process of digging around for actual screens or game footage. GameStop Manager’s Conference banner and “official” looking logo on an otherwise empty game page or not, true 100% proof only exists if we can see what the darn game looks like!
