Titanfall

Link to a game play demo of this new game. Regardless of how it places. I think the concept is pretty badass. I am thinking of doing this in 15mm Any idea as to what to use for Titans?  (Mechs)

Unfortunately I think the game looks super boring (COD-esque...snooze fest).  The concept is okay.  You can find a TON of Japanese anime style mecha for reasonably cheap online.  Easy to modify into something like those Titans.

Boring? Really, I think it looks pretty good.

Oh totally COD ripe off, the old original designee team for COD made the game. And not to boring to me. But is it over the top? Totally
I like the grittiness of it. I will check out the E-bays, and maybe find some of the not to flashily mecha to try.

Looks cool.  Those mechs are pretty similar scaled to a lot of the ones I have been using for my 28mm games.  For 15mm you could probably look for mechs in the 5-7cm range.  Don't discount toy lines.

I really like the look of that. Don't quite get the whole robot Jedi thing though with the force push on the bullets.
Looks fun. Looks a lot like that dream pod 9, heavy gear stuff.

I think the force thing is supposed to be a magnetic field or some such thing.

I imagined as much, just seems a bit far fetched  . Oh yeah, this is a thread about walking machines. I may be getting this game.

Yeah, it does look really boring to me.  I'm absolutely sapped out on the overly repetitive FPS regardless of how you dress it up.  This game just screams COD.  If that's your thing, that's fine, but COD is the Michael Bay of video games.  Definitely not my cup of tea.  I went cold turkey off of FPS's a couple years ago, and I've never been happier gaming.

You might have some luck looking through Reaper's CAV range for mechs. They are reputedly "N scale" which can I think is 1:160. Not sure if they would be big enough to what's shown in the game, but I've been having a look at lots of 1:144 mech models from Japan (Macross etc.). They do look a bit tooooooo characteristic of that genre, but some could be a bit more generic. However, they are massive. I can't tell how big the mechs are supposed to be from the video. You can buy a fair bit of infantry and armour in 1:144 scale, too, so it might be worth checking it out.

However 15mm seems to nestle somewhere around the N-scale mark so it might be an option for you.

As to video games in general, I can't say they hold my attention for very long... unloess there's a really juicy storyline e.g. Fallout 3. Although visually it's quite cool, I can already see myself pinching some ideas from it.

I really love a very old game called Slave-Zero which had you in a big robot suit combating the tiny military It's a bit dated now but here's some footage:

I believe the suits are about 24feet tall. So I am guessing two stories high on average.
I am leaning towards  the Kruasan miniatures Earth Doom, Corsair Battle Dress suits

Maybe with hand replacements. Any body have any of these? Maybe post up a pic for size comparisons.
Oh and another good on from Kurasan.

Who took up those micropanzer Russian power troops? They would be pretty good.
