2009 MechWarrior Trailer

After 10 long years of patient and some not so patient waiting a brand new Mechwarrior game is upon us.

The new Mechwarrior game is being made by current liecense owner Jordon Weisman head of Smith and Tinker and original co-founder of Fasa Corp, the creators of the battletech universe, and Piranha Games.

This game is not MechWarrior 5, oh no, it's a complete re-boot of the series going back to the start of the forth succession war in 3015, 35 years prior to MechWarrior 2 released in 1995.

Although this game will appear on both PC and Xbox 360, the companies have assured use they won't be taking this game in the direction microsoft took the series with the interesting but insulting to any true mechwarrior installation of MechInsult... I mean, MechAssault. The technology is at the point now where a true mechwarrior experience can be had on a console as has been had by many generations on the PC.

Although there's no release date, the game as been in production since October 2008 with concept and brainstorming by Smith and Tinker and Pirahna Games. This Trailer is in game footage of what has been acheived so far. And the time nears to a release date being confirmed, we can only pray that the game goes from looking fantastic, to 31st century stunning.

Check out IGN for a 6 page Q&A by Jordon Weisman and Russ Bullock of Parahna Games.

didnt this get cancelled?

[MLVStan]

@Coolcow6 Nope, still in production. Its all just very hushed up a the moment. But the guys behind the game at Piranha Games have said time and again they're making it, and more info will be revealed SOON(tm).

This looks INCREDIBLE!

[MLVStan]

@decep3107 Yep sure does. After nearly 2 years in dev now it should be almost insanely incredible.

[ERIKSWENSON123]

this is a total jizz on the screen moment. I can't wait for the game to be released! Finally back to the true mechwarrior!!!

[baker187]

ive been piloting mechs since i was six and all i gotta say about mech warrior is HELL MUTHA FUCKIN' YEAH!!!!

[Radintoriov]

@MLVStan The team and assets are now being used for Mechwarrior Online. So, technically the game is still being made, it's just going to be different. At least, according to the devs, 'mech handling and the like should still be exactly like in this trailer, only with a better UI and being more streamlined.

[thesquirrelherder]

Worst pilot ever, he had speed and maneuverability on the atlas and could have made it chase its' own tail but chose to engage repeatedly at hand to hand range with a mech 30 tons heavier and packing an AC/20..disgraceful.

[Wuanslm]

Last thing I knew about this game was that it got turned into an MMO. That pretty much killed all the interest I had.

[The4LA2Baker0]

still not even a release date.... WTF

[BILF1231]

Good god how much longer do i have to wait for this to come out...

[cigambane]

So Mechwarrior is just standing still trading shots until someone falls over? lol THIS is what you are all foaming at the mouth about?

Ok ok, it's more than that but damn, this trailer makes it look terribad :/

[igorbog88]

Did the hula dancing toy have a rifle ?

lol

"You need to go to Russ Bullock's Twitter page, and see that everything you just said is actually not true."

Actually, according to IGN, in September 2009, Harmony Gold's CND order against Bullock and Ekman was over to licensing issues.

A trailer this polished reflects a game that doesn't need much more "development," which speaks volumes regarding Harmony Gold's paranoid stranglehold on cannon-forearmed, bipedal machines.

cant wait to have a good mech game again.

@CaptainSeato You need to go to Russ Bullock's Twitter page, and see that everything you just said is actually not true. Jordon Weisman said in August that HG has a small issue, they had more problems from M$. HG was sorted within Weeks. Piranha Games have an NDA on the game from their publisher, to not spill any beans till the time is right. According to Russ the CEO of PG that's going to be this month sometime. Bryan Ekman's, lead dev, tweets show they're well in the development of the game.
