It's not MW5, i'ts just "Mechwarrior"

 

Well most of the battletech/mechwarrior community is referring to it as Mechwarrior 3015. But yeah it is the first in the new series essentially making it Mechwarrior 1. Cheers

Who gives a damn. I say let her be who she wants to be and the media keep their grubby noses out of her business.

Nice! But, I guess I need to complain. Is a destructible environment to much to ask for? A parking garage can take only so much missle fire.

But, it looks excellent!

What? That jenner at the start of the fight landed ontop of the building but the Warhammer (point of view) shot SRMs at it and took  out the building and the jenner fell into the rubble. That's where all the dust and smoke came from. Hope that answers your question! lol

Watch the video again.

Awesome news.

I love mech games. Mechwarrior, Mechassult, Armored Core, Gundam, Mission Front, etc.  This is the worst teaser I've ever seen. It's like a clip from a short cenamatic. Well all three together is coo but why split it?

They released one small clip a day I'm guessing to build hype for the announcement for a long over due game.

I'm really hoping for another Mech Warrior game, but man that video sucked.  So short and no information whatsoever. 

Their just releasing bits and pieces of it till they make the big announcment. I'm just hoping and praying that it's not another mechassault and that it's going to be a simulator.

Pirahna Games has been releasing in game footage of their unannounced game in production.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h6V2ysIq180&feature=channel

The game is said to run on the Unreal 3 engine and that this is actual in game footage.

The Mechwarrior community is buzzing with activity. Long time since that has happened.

Expect details on the game to be released on thursday when Pirahna games and Smith and Tinker (owners of the mechwarrior IP) hold a press meeting.

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Pirahna Games and Smith and Tinker are going to do the FULL reveal TONITE (well tommorow actually) at 12:01 AM on thursday. http://uk.pc.ign.com/articles/100/1002275p1.html

They'll be showing the full trailer and releasing game details.

You deserve it!

Both.

I like to call him AA. 

This will look good on his resume.

Niether one will be " The Next Big Thing ". But that doesn't mean they won't be good either. They don't have the mass appeal that games like WoW or EQ has.

But going off a hunch. I'd say TOR will be very big here in the west simply because it's Star Wars. So I've got my money on TOR (though I don't plan on playing it ).

*sigh*

Having spent ALOT of time in both games.

I'd say that if you want to do alot of PvP Guild Wars is for you.

But if you want to do lot's of PvE WoW is the way to go.

So.

PvP - Guild Wars

PvE - World of warcraft

Also if you're not looking to spend alot of money Guild Wars would be cheaper.

Maybe anet will release details about the book this september at PAX and give us a little progress report on Guild Wars 2. If they dont release the game before all three books are out then we wont see GW2 for a loooooooooooong time. And if i'm not mistaken the third book in the series isn't due to release untill sometime in 2011, that means we wont see GW2 until almost 2012...

Not even sure i'll be able to devote any time to gaming in that point of my life so bye bye GW if that happens.. 

Praying for a PAX update.

It would be nice if it looked like this DoWII trailer.

Just dreaming though, that video is all about hype.

God I love the warp spider exarch. Pure badassery.

I'm giving you 50 experienced developers (artists, programmers, the whole deal). You are the project manager, the direction of the game is completely open.

What type of MMO do you make? What are the games goals?

A Battletech MMO.

That's it.

Because the companies that own Mechwarrior are a complete and utter bunch of [censored] who have not only bungled their own IP into oblivion but insist on trying to kill anything mecha related that doesn't pour money into their greedy little hands with [censored] lawsuits that drag on for years without basis. Heavy Gear would have made a great MMO if Activision hadn't run that IP into the ground with their own incompetently managed and now defunct development studio. The only IPs with any depth have been crippled by bad decisions and getting companies to invest in anything but elves and orcs is an iron clad bitch to begin with.

Well you can thank M$ (microsoft) for stopping mechwarrior production on the PC and porting it over to f*cking xbox and watering it down to a dumbified dumb fest. Those bastards were only concerned about $$$$$$ and didnt care if mechwarrior went down with their plans. And I hope they burn in hell for it.

Now that M$ got their fat lazy asses off the IP and sold it to the development studio behind the MW PC series we might see some good mechwarrior titles come out soon.

I think a Mechwarrior MMO simulator would be cool. Could give it the sandbox form of EvE. Except instead of fighting in ships in space you fight on planets in mechs. You could ally yourself with the clans or the inner sphere and choose an allegience to fight under and then find your squad/guild from there.

So from the get go you'll:

1) Create your character avatar

2) Choose to be Free birth (IS) or Clanner (Clan)

3) Choose your allegiance:

     Inner Sphere - Fed Suns, FRR, Capellans, Draconis Combine, Lyrans, WoB

     Clans - Clan Wolf, Clan Ghost Bear, Clan Jade Falcon, Clan Steel Viper, Clan Coyote

     Mercenaries! - Hansens Rough Riders, Eridani Light Horse, Kell Hounds, Grey Death Legion

4) Find a squad/guild

Of coarse you would start off with a light mech, and perform PvE missions on your own or with your squad to get your c-bills rolling. After that you and your guild can claim a planet or an entire star system to call your home or base of operations. You can build structures on your planets that give you benefits. Like a satelite uplink for communications, an armory to store your stolen, salvaged or manufactured weapons. And a mech bay to store your mechs.

Battletech has alot of politics in it so there would need to be a simliar political system as seen in EvE.

A battletech game like this would consume my life.

1) AN AUCTION HOUSE!! No more trying to type out messages in an already overcrowded trade channel.

2) Ranger Trapping a viable and SOUGHT FOR playstyle in PvP and PvE. (even though this probably won't happen)

3) Keep all the core classes (and their names).
