Apparently it's Unreal Engined, and hoping for a release on PC/Xbox360/PS3 via Steam at a low price.

Looks absolutely stunning, especially for an indie, downloadable title - quite possibly the best looking UE3 game to date.

Well, they certainly made a good first impression just by allowing me to NOT use Flash if I don't want to. Kudos for that.
Graphics look fantastic, will be keeping an eye on this. It's been too long that we've been without a good Mech game.

The artwork really is both impressive and clever - a lot of the buildings are apparently instanced, but the assets are complex enough to hide this very well.
The mech designs themselves are somewhat mixed though, they don't have enough character - and they clearly haven't considered how all that engine exhaust smoke would make it pretty hard to see from an FPS view

I didn't know these guys are what used to be Project Offset before Intel scrapped it according to that Kotaku interview. That explains the impressive visuals.

Makes sense if it's only 9 guys with a limited budget. A good single player would quickly start adding to the cost and effort involved.

Its soo jittery!
the lack of AA, the animations, the particles and the smoke/rocket trails!
ITS ALL too JITTERY!
Seems to have a lot of potential though!
There arent many fast paced modern mech games for pc!
Would be sweet with a very interactable evnviroment, and varied locations, add a jungle or forest with trees to hide through and break.

Me(c)h, it's just a FPS with Battlesuits, not proper Mech's!
Someone should redo Mechwarrior 2 with more detailed models, tesselated terrain, modern bells and whistles like AF and AA, have customizable controls...

Yeah it looks like Shogo style Mech action. Mechwarrior was more tanks-on-the-battlefield style gaming with mechs out on open terrain or expansive cities and most of the mechs were beefy lumbering juggernauts (there were some little speedy jump-jetting mechs though). Mechwarrior also felt like a serious simulation of a complex vehicle and war scenario, unlike Shogo which felt like a shooter.
I never tried Heavy Gear.

Heavy Gear was awesome. Rather than being mobile land battleships like some of the heavier Battlemechs from Mechwarrior, they are all relatively small (for a mech) focusing more on being maneuverable wearpons platforms than battleships that are slow and can take a beating.
