Best video game news for a long time.

it does seem like it has been a while since there's been anything from the bt/mw universe.   but boy this looks hot.

I mean, unless they seriously rape this (which we all know they still have that chance) I don't see this turning out badly.

I agree that they seem to have the best of intentions.  I appreciate what they are trying to do with the information war aspect, assuming that satellites have been shot down and such and that information is limited to what you can scout on the battlefield.  I appreciate that they are trying to make good reasons for running a light mech, as other than speed there was little to no good reason to in the previous series because you couldn't really punch hard enough with them.  I can envision being able to use cover intelligently in the urban landscape in order to harry a larger mech in hit and fade type operations, especially if they lose lock on you when you're out of a certain range, too.

However, even with the best of intentions this could get dumbed down a lot before release.  What we're seeing here looks to be more of a tech demo than anything else, because their language in the interview was very much future-tense, answering with what they are planning on doing, not what they have already created.  They have only been working on this since October last year, so they are really still in the honeymoon period for a game's production.  I'm guessing they are probably still over a year from release, so while I am looking forward to it, I don't want to get too excited due to it being a long way off.

KvP:
Mechwarrior 4's gonna get freeware'd soon on account of all this. I would've preferred Mechwarrior 2. It was the only retail game on Powermacs worth a shit.

Oh I guess Daggerfall is also free. Don't know what that has to do with Mechwarrior, but hey, great game.

The extra letter:
This could be quite, quite awesome.

I remember back in late primary school running around pretending to be piloting a battlemech. Yes, I was a sad and nerdy child.

MechWarrior 4 was pretty damn awesome, though.
