PC World was one of the ‘real’ media outlets at Nvidia’s shindig Friday night (had I known that’s who I was overhearing do the interview.. I’d have introduced myself to them!). Â Today, they give us the article they wrote after talking to James, and, more importantly, playing MWT!
Full article is here. Â Read it, enjoy the pretty screenshots (they got better ones than I did). Â This little blurb from them is not something I’d overheard, or talked to James about, so it’s good to see how this part of the STAC system will work:
Your mechs have a base set of gear, but the gear you acquire in STACs may contain better stuff. In fact, there are dozens of weapons manufacturers and weapon types, much like the huge variety to be found in the RPG-esque shooter Borderlands. Some weapons may offer improved chance for a critical hit; others may generate less heat. Still others weigh a little less, allowing you to mount more of them in one of your mechs.
Glad to see it’s not only us fanboys who are excited for the game!
