Mech Warrior is back!

[Treize69]

In the video.  There's some zig zag hide and seek at point blank range and a damage model that looks the same as AH's.  That's their showcase/trailer for the game... Color me unimpressed.

Just FYI, 100 ton Atlas and 70 ton Warhammer Battlemechs aren't really known for their agility and ability to dance ballet. Especially not in the Succession Wars era, when  'Mechs were held together by bailing wire and happy wishes.

It looks like a kid's game.  The mechs are made with papier mache but they stay together after that hail of missiles..  Looks like the realism's what's made of wire and wishes

[Die Hard]

Keep trolling. One of these days Skuzzy will get you.

[moot]

Eh. 
The video shows a 10 story machine that zig zags back and forth.  It also shows a hail of missiles doing just about nothing.  Hence the comment that the trailer is unimpressive.  It doesn't do justice to a franchise as long standing as Mechwarrior.  If that's trolling, then..

Is there any expected release date on this?

I still remember Mechwarrior 4 and the different expansion packs on it.  Game has always been fun.

I know that Hollywood is trying to produce a Mechwarrior movie but I havent heard any news about that for a few years now.

Troll & Wizard hat - a quip about not seeing the forest of corny for the technically accurate trees.  A ten story mech is something that ought to make for something more inspiring than zig zag and peekaboo behind buildings, and really arcade physics that let you down from the expectation of mechanized carnage and proper tactical combat.  Instead of zigzaging like that he coulda razed the buildings around the enemy mech and maneuvered around for an ambush.  When the enemy mech came out unfazed, they coulda had a minimum of damage showing, and/or there could've been a more credible death sequence and dialogue/voice acting.

It's the same as Fallout 3 was.  In that game the character animation and voice acting stuck out like a sore thumb from the rest of a quality game.  The authentic Fallout cues were there but the execution had false notes.  Same thing in this trailer.

Moot,

It looked like the first, light mech he engaged he took out by destroying the building it was standing on top of.

I stomp the ground, and snort, to alert you that you are in my breeding territory.

Just watch this one. http://pc.ign.com/dor/objects/18954/mech-warrior-project/videos/mechwarrior_spc_rewindtheaterr_070809.html

The Warhammer blows off the arm of the Atlas. The first light scout shatters the windows out of the building it jumps on, yadda yadda.

As for a credible death sequence, I'd say taking out that Atlas plus a few city blocks is a "pretty credible death sequence".

Now if they bring back the Wolf class....

I'll be buying it, Wolf class or no.

  I had completely forgotten about that thread.

In other more on topic news I'm intrigued, will be keeping my eye on this one.

i have nothing bad to say about this new mech warrior, the last 2 are absolute junk, the game scale is way off and the mechs absolutely sucked.

then again im a  huge fan of anything with big machines runing around and killing eachother, even B movies like robot jocks.


And moot, who cares what they did in a what..3 minute short clip, when YOUR in control of the mechs you can do whatever you want. Anyone remember hoew horrible the "players" were in some of the first "and still current" game demos?

far from 1337, but it gets the point acrost,m the graphics and attention to detail are boobies "reaches down and hits a button to launch scanner" looks down when hes ejecting..all that good stuff.


heck we still dont even know if the game will end when/if you loose your mech, what if you can run around on the ground and still direct fire support .ect?

Wowo, just wow..

can't wait for it after mechwarrior 2...but somehow that video feels like deja vu !
