Man, is this going to have the story mode, the complexity, the customization, the money system, the politics, etc. the first game had? Or is it just going to be another mind-numbing shoot-em up that Microsoft turned the franchise into?
Brilliant demo! I was actually looking for some news on whether the legal issues had been resolved when I came across this. Can't believe I haven't seen it until now.
Guess we have to assume the project is still on hiatus until Piranha and Smith & Tinker can find a developer to work with them and decide how they want to re-write the game, minus the Unseen mechs (why, oh why did they have to use a Warhammer in the demo?)
@jurassicparkboy it's not actually 'delayed' as much, but more of 'not started developing' yet. You have to keep in mind that this video was just tech demo for recruiting potential publisher(s). Now that DNF is done, I would hope that we get some more information, since Piranha Games has now proved itself to potential publishers. I just hope that they don't consider DNF as the best they can produce. (keep in mind that I don't actually know WHAT Piranha Games was working on the DNF project)
What I don't understand is, how does Harmony Gold stand to lose money by the mech designs being used. If anything they would make money by having new people interested in the industry. They just seem to be the little child in the corner saying everyone copied their drawing whenever there is anything roughly similar to theirs.
so just to ask, mechwarrior 4 Mercs aint ever coming back, right? cuz if it is, im gonna sit here, and cry, and cry, and cry,,, until i get it through my head lol
Unfortunately, I'll have to side with Harmony Gold on this one. The Warhammer looks JUST like the Tomahawk this time, gun placement and all. 3D's just too much evidence to support their copyright infringement case.
@Digolgrin Harmony's purchased the rights only for the TV series of Macross/Robotech it was only when they started to licence Robotech as a RPG that they decided to sue FASA over EVERY anime design not just the ones restricted to Robotech that was being used in the wargame Battletech. Rather than try and fight Harmony and go broke winning FASA agreed to abandon/redesign the mechs/vehicles in question
rofl some of my fondest childhood memories include sitting in my dads lap in whats now my brothers room playing the joystick of Mechwarriors 2 and MW2: Mercenaries with my dad using the keyboard to steer...also a uber fond memory is again in my dads lap for the first time playing MW3.....gahhh i want this game just to recapture those old feelings
I have fond memories of all 3 game series, MW2 - MW4, but I 100% agree that Mw3 was the best. It felt the most like you were walking around in a big, slow, ponderous war machine. MW4 series felt more arcadish and less sim-like, not to mention the weapon sounds were horrible (gauss cannon goes "BLOOOOP??!?!").
I really, really hope this new game is: 1. not an arcade game and more sim-like, 2. easily moddable, and 3. doesn't play or feel like a crappy port from the console to PC.
The funny part to your statement is that a fair number of Mechwarrior mechs are direct knock offs from Anime mechs. Hell, the mech being used in that scene is based off of the Macross's Tomahawk. So, don't be so quick to label all Anime mecha as "fast paced" and "arcadey." ;P
I remember seeing this like a year ago...does anyone know if there is a website or something dedicated to updates for this game? I'm looking forward it :0
If people want their customizable right down to the weapons pods mechs with clan mechs ontop for icing, go play an already released and great game Mechwarrior Living Legends which is a mod for Crysis which is now cheap as anything (still costly on steam though). Because this isn't going to be another stupid Mechassault game Xbox fan boys. It's going to be a canonical game with cannon InnerSphere Mechs, not OmniMechs or fully modular. You want modular, go play something like Armored Core.
It's a fully released Beta atm which you can download for free from their website if you have Crysis. I've never played it on LAN but I believe that it dose support it.
That has to be the worst pilot in that whole army. I mean, come on! He started to walk in blindly into the smoke after you could PLAINLY see the arm of an enemy mech walking in front of you. He should have backed up, sprayed a few rounds and took cover. In my opinion he deserved to get shot down for being an idiot.
knightl3y is right, go to Piranha's website, their currently looking for a world builder to create multiplayer maps and artists experienced enough to lead art teams. A couple of months back they were looking for experienced Unreal Engine 3 programmers (I'm talking C++ programmers, not Unreal Scripters). Their doing a lot of upsizing atm.
It's my personal belief that in truth this truly was a "promo" in every sense of the word. Much like the Iron Sky trailers or the Halo 2 trailers. In reality, I bet their only just getting started, or only 25% complete. We won't likely see anything remotely new until E3 2011. These things are more often then not done to see how the public reacts and to gather if the project is worth investing in or not for their publishers, that or to appease their publisher.
The clans have made mistakes before while battling the Inner Sphere, losing because they did not take time to learn about their prey, a basic strategy of any predator. I simply adapt, keeping the honor of the Clan ways, while learning of my enemies in the Inner Sphere.
LOL Carrying on with the Dragoon's original mission, that is good. I hope you are deep undercover learning all their political secrets so that we may exploit their moral weakness. We may yet win back Terra, crush the Exarch and his Realm under our claws and fulfill Kerensky's Prophesy. Seyla!
The Atlas emerging from the smoke reminds me of the opening video sequence for Ghost Bear's Legacy - which I think was the best of the MW's released to date.
Holy fuck! I'm so glad I only found out about the reboot just now. It must be frustrating waiting for it all this time. Saved me a year and a half of grief.XD Can't say the same about Ride to freakin Hell tho'.
@Musclecar123 I still don't know what he screamed at the end. Was that payback? fall back? stay back?
@el00023 Ill be honest - ill be happy if they just manage to bring back the old Battlemaster - although I have a feeling that its one of the 'unseen'. The fact that its not been in any game since the '89 original kinda makes it a viable deduction.
I sincerely hope they bring back the customization that the assault brand took away. Yeah the missile boats were annoying, but pimping out your mech to fight the way you want to was 1/2 the appeal for me. Side note, i doubt it'll make an appearance considering the setting for the game, but I'll miss my ryoken(stormcrow) =S
@knightl3y Yea it was fun in MW4 Mercs, I forget what mech I used but I loaded it with several ballistic weapons that hurt at lose range, those nova snipers didn't like me too much.
@Ghostmatrix666 That is one thing I really like about mechwarrior, and MechAssualt Screwed it up, was that you customize everything, down to tons of armor, and electronics
why are you saying you love the daishi, vulture, and shadowcat? none of those even appear in this video. On top of that this game is probably cancelled due to copyright issues between Tinker and the owners of robotech. i wouldnt get your hopes up.
Why would the owners of Robotech object? Ever since the Unseen were changed so they no longer ripped off the Robotech likenesses, there hasn't been a problem, has there?
@TheR3dline Actually I've checked the latest news, all the legal stuff is being cleared up, they just need the right publisher to show is what they said
@aggrressor Negative on that one, this was pre clan invasion, the Fafnir was developed after sometime during the fifth or sixth succession war I think, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure what I said is true.
Mechwarrior was a bit more "reasonable" (however absurd giant robots might seem) in that yes they were just very large, lumbering tanks on legs. It is not meant to be like the anime robots that gracefully move about but more reminescent of traditional armor in modern warfare. Honestly, I like that it seems that way and trying to make it "fast paced" and arcadey was what ruined the console mechwarrior games.
I'm with you and against your comment. The slower pace is indeed more realistic, and yet the faster pace of Armored core (or at least faster action) is what I think made it more fun. At some times it was too fast, but I've always wanted a game lot AC but a little slower.... maybe a AC/MC (pun!) is a good merger for ideas... no? haha
I have to go with jimmymortis on this one. Slow lumbering death machines are far more "realistic" and less represented in the community. This might also bring forward the idea that battle is more than pixel hunting and backflipping with 200 foot robots that have lazer swords and are all shaped like humans with actual working hands.
AC is an enjoyable game, but it it stay away from MW, that way at least we get a choice, rite?
I think what we have to remember is that mechwarrior is essentially meant to be a more faithful military sci-fi than other big robot works. Other than faster than light travel and a few other technologies most of the things in mechwarrior make sense from a military, scientific, and mechanical perspective. For example, most weapons in the game are hard point. THAT is what the game is meant to communicate, and mixing it up would just water down what the game is "for".
One thing the Mechwarrior games seem to have forgotten is that the pilot inside the Mech is affected by inertia too, and if the torso suddenly jerks 20' to one side from an AC20 to the shoulder, the pilot is probably going to be knocked out as his head bounces off the bulkhead. And if the Mech falls over...a 40' drop is a 40' drop, padded cockpit chair or no. That pilot wouldn't be in any condition to keep fighting, even if the Mech is.
@snarlsnap Hey, you, you do realize that since the pilot is strapped onto his seat, that when the mech moves, he does right? Well the funny part in your comment is the fact that when he moves, the mech tracks his movements and responds, you ever read any of the Battle Tech universe books, they show tactics that Mechwarriors use to keep shit like that from happening.
@snarlsnap And another thing, this thing weighs in at 75 Tons, it will take more than an AC20 to knock it back a step or two, so thank you for overdramatizing that. And get your facts straight, an AC20 knock down a heavy mech, please. It would take an Alpha strike of the combine power of several guass rifles, and a PPC or two. You want to know how I know? I've done it before.
@6666Destro You're talking about fiction. You haven't done any of that before, because none of it exists. It's all imaginary, on paper, or on a computer. Have you ever been in a car accident before? I have, in real life. And you don't need to be knocked back 40 or so feet to be knocked unconscious. If your car is T-boned at 30mph sideways even 2 feet into a guardrail and your head bounces off the window, it can knock you out. Even if you're "strapped in to your seat" (seatbelt).
@snarlsnap You do realize that every mech contains what is called a gyro mechanism, has the ability to torso twist, and move its entire torso up and down. This means that what the pilot was doing was that he was making to where most of the force from the blows that the atlas was launching would be glancing, and all he would expirience is the turning of his mech from his stand point. The blow is also lessened by the gyro mechanism, which if you will allow me to explain is why he isn' knocked out.
@snarlsnap Now this gyro mechanism is a series of metal circles, magnets and electronics, and what is does, is that every blow that the mech takes it will allow the mech to twist while providing friction via magnets and this causes the pilot not to take on as much force as he would without one This allows for the pilot to take multiple blows and still keep fighting, now do you understand what I am saying or do I need to explain this further, sorry for being a dick earlier I was having a bad day
One could only hope it will not be. This is the last game we need to ruin by consolizing it. Sadly tho, it makes more sense for a publisher to release a product on multiple platforms.
Sorry, but the Timber Wolf was designed about forty years after this. Hell, the Clans haven't even invaded yet--they're still busy with their Succession Wars at this point in time.
Haaa video still being played, take that Golden Sun, or whoever their name is thats complaining =\ But yeah, suddenly comeing nose to nose with an Atlas is neeever fun XD Poor warhammer....he fought bravely =O Im thinking that Jenner pilots feeling pretty stupid for jumping ontop of that building though >.>`.....
@legionofyuri that actually depends on the pilots and the situation, I think in that situation, I could have pulled it off, maybe. Probably would've been a closer fight.
wow this is insane! Whatever they make, if it is as good as this I'd die for it! Huuuuge fan of MW3 here and wow I thought i would never see new MW game, this is a dream come true.
you know that FASA wanted to create a Scale Cockpit of a mech and then put the Mechwarrior game in a screen?With a Aereplane Joystick?

I sincerely hope they bring back the customization that the assault brand took away. Yeah the missile boats were annoying, but pimping out your mech to fight the way you want to was 1/2 the appeal for me. Side note, i doubt it'll make an appearance considering the setting for the game, but I'll miss my ryoken(stormcrow) =S

Specially fun was to compete with friends all using the same mech but different weapon loadouts
knightl3y 2 years ago
Yup, it was cool to see how everyone would load em out
Ghostmatrix666 2 years ago
@knightl3y Yea it was fun in MW4 Mercs, I forget what mech I used but I loaded it with several ballistic weapons that hurt at lose range, those nova snipers didn't like me too much.
clideb60 2 years ago
@clideb60 sounds like you were using what I call a shotgun mech
6666Destro 1 year ago
@Ghostmatrix666 This is pre-clan invasion so Mechs' were not fully customizable. They had a few loadouts per chassis that were typically used.
Clan Omni Mechs introduced the ability to quickly and effectivelys swap out components.
If they are going for a proper inner sphere setting, then the mechs should not be customizable.

@Ghostmatrix666 That is one thing I really like about mechwarrior, and MechAssualt Screwed it up, was that you customize everything, down to tons of armor, and electronics

Truthfully I have no idea - I just remember from the earlier Mechwarrior games that it seemed to be most balanced regarding firepower and mobility.
Whatever Mechs are used hopefully it will be fun.

why are you saying you love the daishi, vulture, and shadowcat? none of those even appear in this video. On top of that this game is probably cancelled due to copyright issues between Tinker and the owners of robotech. i wouldnt get your hopes up.

Why would the owners of Robotech object? Ever since the Unseen were changed so they no longer ripped off the Robotech likenesses, there hasn't been a problem, has there?

@aggrressor Negative on that one, this was pre clan invasion, the Fafnir was developed after sometime during the fifth or sixth succession war I think, I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure what I said is true.

Mechwarrior was a bit more "reasonable" (however absurd giant robots might seem) in that yes they were just very large, lumbering tanks on legs. It is not meant to be like the anime robots that gracefully move about but more reminescent of traditional armor in modern warfare. Honestly, I like that it seems that way and trying to make it "fast paced" and arcadey was what ruined the console mechwarrior games.
jimmymortis 2 years ago 10
I'm with you and against your comment. The slower pace is indeed more realistic, and yet the faster pace of Armored core (or at least faster action) is what I think made it more fun. At some times it was too fast, but I've always wanted a game lot AC but a little slower.... maybe a AC/MC (pun!) is a good merger for ideas... no? haha
foreverspellman 2 years ago
I have to go with jimmymortis on this one. Slow lumbering death machines are far more "realistic" and less represented in the community. This might also bring forward the idea that battle is more than pixel hunting and backflipping with 200 foot robots that have lazer swords and are all shaped like humans with actual working hands.
AC is an enjoyable game, but it it stay away from MW, that way at least we get a choice, rite?
knightl3y 2 years ago
I think what we have to remember is that mechwarrior is essentially meant to be a more faithful military sci-fi than other big robot works. Other than faster than light travel and a few other technologies most of the things in mechwarrior make sense from a military, scientific, and mechanical perspective. For example, most weapons in the game are hard point. THAT is what the game is meant to communicate, and mixing it up would just water down what the game is "for".

@jimmymortis
One thing the Mechwarrior games seem to have forgotten is that the pilot inside the Mech is affected by inertia too, and if the torso suddenly jerks 20' to one side from an AC20 to the shoulder, the pilot is probably going to be knocked out as his head bounces off the bulkhead. And if the Mech falls over...a 40' drop is a 40' drop, padded cockpit chair or no. That pilot wouldn't be in any condition to keep fighting, even if the Mech is.
snarlsnap 1 year ago
@snarlsnap Hey, you, you do realize that since the pilot is strapped onto his seat, that when the mech moves, he does right? Well the funny part in your comment is the fact that when he moves, the mech tracks his movements and responds, you ever read any of the Battle Tech universe books, they show tactics that Mechwarriors use to keep shit like that from happening.
6666Destro 1 year ago
@snarlsnap And another thing, this thing weighs in at 75 Tons, it will take more than an AC20 to knock it back a step or two, so thank you for overdramatizing that. And get your facts straight, an AC20 knock down a heavy mech, please. It would take an Alpha strike of the combine power of several guass rifles, and a PPC or two. You want to know how I know? I've done it before.
6666Destro 1 year ago
@6666Destro You're talking about fiction. You haven't done any of that before, because none of it exists. It's all imaginary, on paper, or on a computer. Have you ever been in a car accident before? I have, in real life. And you don't need to be knocked back 40 or so feet to be knocked unconscious. If your car is T-boned at 30mph sideways even 2 feet into a guardrail and your head bounces off the window, it can knock you out. Even if you're "strapped in to your seat" (seatbelt).
snarlsnap 1 year ago
@snarlsnap You do realize that every mech contains what is called a gyro mechanism, has the ability to torso twist, and move its entire torso up and down. This means that what the pilot was doing was that he was making to where most of the force from the blows that the atlas was launching would be glancing, and all he would expirience is the turning of his mech from his stand point. The blow is also lessened by the gyro mechanism, which if you will allow me to explain is why he isn' knocked out.
6666Destro 1 year ago
@snarlsnap Now this gyro mechanism is a series of metal circles, magnets and electronics, and what is does, is that every blow that the mech takes it will allow the mech to twist while providing friction via magnets and this causes the pilot not to take on as much force as he would without one This allows for the pilot to take multiple blows and still keep fighting, now do you understand what I am saying or do I need to explain this further, sorry for being a dick earlier I was having a bad day
6666Destro 1 year ago
@snarlsnap Also the pilot is strapped in using a six point web system and they are wearing helmets, just in case you didn't know.

One could only hope it will not be. This is the last game we need to ruin by consolizing it. Sadly tho, it makes more sense for a publisher to release a product on multiple platforms.
