mechwarrior 5

quote:

Reports are surfacing that Vancouver-based Piranha Games is working on a new Mechwarrior game and unlike most rumors, this one is accompanied by a video.

It was 20 years ago that the original Mechwarrior appeared on PCs, a groundbreaking game that let players build and deploy an elite mercenary unit throughout the five major Houses of the Inner Sphere while hunting for the marauding forces who destroyed their planet and killed their family. Three full sequels and numerous add-ons have followed, although the series has been idle since the 2002 release Mechwarrior 4: Mercenaries.

When Microsoft pulled the plug on FASA Studio, the developer that took over the series from Activision following Mechwarrior 2, it looked like it might be the end of the franchise. But in December 2007, FASA founder Jordan Weisman announced he had licensed the rights to Mechwarrior and other properties through his new startup, Smith & Tinker, saying he wanted to "surprise and delight old fans, while welcoming new fans to these fantastic worlds."

That moment of surprise and delight may be rapidly approaching: Voodoo Extreme has posted a nine-second teaser along with a message saying, "Perhaps a Piranha will post a proper trailer later in the week?" A link to the original Smith & Tinker announcement regarding the FASA rights is also included.

You don't get to see much in nine seconds, true, but this sure looks like a new Mechwarrior game. For one thing, those flags on the left side of the screen as the video opens are blurry but don't try to tell me that's not the Federated Suns insignia on them. And is it just me or does the end of this trailer remind anyone of the opening of this one?

Stay tuned.

I kinda like robots in games, and real life for that matter, so it seems fun to me. If I'm a ghey then so be it.

MechWarrior 2 was the shit back in the day, though my PC was too slow to run it properly. The franchise needs to continue.

too many fucking buttons. i like simple games, for simpletons.

if a manual has more than 8 pages, then fuck off.

Like you'd know what to do with a manual.

Zone of the Enders 2 is by far the best Mech game that has ever been made!

dont compare your favourite piece of arcade trash to battletech thankyou very much.

Trash my arse. You're too busy talking about your crap to realise that ZOE is clearly better. Story wise and Gameplay wise. You're lucky that there's no ZOE:3. Playing you off to some keyboard cat.

The game received positive reviews from game sites, though its short length, cluttered story, lack of replayability and awkward dialogue (due to poor software localization) have been widely criticized.

so, run along and play your arcade thumbstick games with the other children.

I may be a child but I know that I'm more of a man than you. You pride yourself on being a 'man' when all you do is talk down to others. Dude it's a fucking forum not some place for you to express your hatred for yourself. Dude, you should run along and play your mechwarrior and it's awkward story line. When you finish the short story line and it's little to no playability please do TA a favor and headbutt a knife or stop breathing.
