The mecha …err, wanzer game Front Mission 3 does a lot of interesting things to the series. Some improvements include = a morale system for characters and enemy opponents that could possibly eject them from battle. The Pilot Eject system allows characters to commandeer vehicles mid-battle, fight on foot, and salvage complete enemy Wanzers after fights. This was the first title in the series to utilize CGI cutscenes for more gripping storytelling. Front Mission 3 expands upon the series’ own in-game Internet system from the previous game to find information or buy hard-to-get wanzer weaponry. If the last few remakes are an indication of what comes next, this might be the well-thought-out entry in the trilogy resurrection.
It’s expected that other systems will be getting this title, and a physical will be released.
