New MechWarrior Game Very Obviously Teased (Updated with More Videos)
by Alice O'Connor and Chris Faylor, Jul 07, 2009 8:04am PDTUpdate: A few more videos have surfaced. Viewable below, the clips combine, like a Transformer, to provide a full look at what is undoubtedly a giant mechanical warrior.
Voodoo Extreme owner IGN claims it will clear up the "rumors" through the publication of an interview with MechWarrior liscensee Jordan Weisman and Piranha's Russ Bullock on Thursday, July 9 at 12:01 AM PDT. The rumors apparently began after footage popped up on YouTube, with IGN adding that the announcement "will rock your computer."
Original: A new MechWarrior game is under development by Piranha Games, according to a very short teaser trailer and unsubtle hints dropped by Voodoo Extreme. No other details are known, though the site suggests a full trailer will be released later this week.
"Oh my, what on Earth could this be about? Could it be... a new MechWarrior?! Gee, I suppose it could," were the words and links that accompanied the site's posting of the below teaser. "Perhaps a Piranha will post a proper trailer later in the week?"
Piranha Games has a quiet development history, with its most recent credit being "additional character and level art" on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of Luxoflux's robo-tastic movie tie-in game Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
Jordan Weisman, founder of MechWarrior creator FASA, announced in 2007 that his new company Smith & Tinker had licensed the electronic rights to the MechWarrior property from Microsoft--which had bought FASA--and intended to "surprise and delight old fans."
The mech combat simulator series' last installment was MechWarrior 4 in 2000, and developer FASA Interactive was closed in 2007. Microsoft has since permitted the upcoming Crysis mod MechWarrior: Living Legends to use the property.

The only thing I can say is I hope to god they don't completely ruin the series with another installment remeniscent of MW4.
MW3 was pure sex at the time and MW2 wasn't bad either. This is a foolish thing to say, but please don't ruin the next MW game and make it something like Tribes1/2 to Tribes:Vengeance. If this is something similar to a arcade shooter made for a xBox controller with drop and drag vehicle creation similar to the MW4 mech configuration I'll... I don't know what I'll do.
Not to say the UT3 engine is old, but why not go with the Crytek? Honestly the videos from legends look better then these videos on here.

On another note, I hope that for once they get the heat system correct. That was always the thing I really disliked about all the MechWarrior games. The heat system was not even close to the pen and paper system. Contrary to the video games, mechs can fire all weapons constantly while moving without overheating if setup correctly.

I'm no elitist but I'd love to see a PC only MechWarrior game.

The game is called MechWarrior, and it is a reboot set in 3015. Mechs in the trailer were indeed Warhammer, Rifleman and Jenner :)

this isn't armored core.. third person.. combo lameish game.. that game sucked..
MechWarrior is a ancient title one of the very first robot chasis control warfighter games
bein all in first person.. the game was always a great fun even when.. polygon count was under 100..
the graphics back then.. were very crappy, but back then.. they were considered top knotch.. super awesome, best new game graphics, hype level needed. Where if you look at old mechwarrior games, today.. you would go.. people played that $%^T ?..
yes.. and it was fun..
The game had multiplayer support back then.. With deathmatch enabled.. you Designed your own Mech walker from body chasis, mech engine(speed) to weapons.. mechwarrior never had any melee weapons, but plasma cannons, gattling guns, heavy rockets, ect.. and obliterate your opponents in your path..
First person shooter,. where you control inside the cockpit *was optional* when the game was on the PC only.. this games details are very limited here..
I really hate short trailers like so..
So what is to be expected?.. some of all that I said, but no story line.. Well previous stories were about nations Conflicting having a entire world at war.. An you being the ace pilot of the Mech Warrior..
Game play and graphics should be quite intresting on this next title..
its obvious it might be a lot of fighting in side a city..
hopefully you will be able to...
1 blow up buildings.. so you wont be playing in jst a city.. but on a nice plain after 10 mins..
2A vast selection of weapons, mech chasis
3Giant maps that give you enough room to counter attack and even play some what stealthy..
those three ideas would be awesome.. What be even cooler if you could.. drive tanks/aircraft/be infantry.. get out, shoot a pilot inside the mechwarrior, steal a mechwarrior.. and have an entire base..
like that amazing game called Battlezone..
Im surprised Piranha is making the title also.. it use to be under different owner..
Which even though im sure multiplayer with have deathmatch.. team deathmatch, and probably a seige and capture game play.. like most co-op online play..
What would be awesome.. would be a Story line co-op play.. as those games have become very popular..

Please, make it like MW2/MW3.
You'll almost never catch me saying this, but I'd be sad to see the potential control scheme get reduced for the 360 controller. Usually it doesn't bother me too much, but I remember my bindings in MW2 being encyclopedic, on average. :)

More information is coming to us regarding the amazing trailers we have seen in the last 24 hours. I am being told by an undisclosed source that these videos are real in-game footage of the next big thing in the Mechwarrior series. We have also been told that this game is powered by a heavily modified SOURCED Unreal Tournament 3 engine and is not the buried version of Mechwarrior5 which was canceled after MW4:Mercs was released. To put that to rest, the technology didn't exist back then to create this type of engine! If this is UT3 based then we certainly hope we will see a PC version as well as mod friendly version for MekTek to create and add content for

MW4 and Mercenaries both looked fantastic when they came out.
By the videos not so good but I just assume the videos don't do it justice.
And I could care less. Just happy to have another mech game.
How funny would it be if Mechwarrior: Living Legend (mod for crysis) actually looked better and played better than this hah.
Weee something to be excited about.

Earlier today, boards around the Web caught on fire with the reveal of a teaser trailer that implied a new MechWarrior game was in the making. While the speculation about the next chapter in the franchise has been flying around, we actually know what this mystery game is, what the footage entails, and how it will rock your computer.
This Thursday at 12:01 AM PDT, we'll have an interview with Jordan Weisman of Smith and Tinker and Russ Bullock, president of Piranha Games, to address the rumors and explain just what the future holds. We'll even have a few extras to keep you talking for months to come.
Jordan of course being the former creator of BattleTech and Producer of MW 4 :)

The second movie is pretty clear that we're looking at a Novacat. The 3rd mech (jump jetting) escapes me. I wanted to say it was an Owens but its missing the side mounted missle racks. I can't think of the name of that light mech that has the saucer shaped cockpit.....anyone know?

I like how they made the videos ominous with the music. It makes you feel a bit uneasy, and it makes it a bit scary. Some of the missions in the MW2 series were fucking scary and you were flying by the seat of your pants hoping that you could just blow off an arm of the other mech so you might last a few seconds longer, or blow off a leg and run the fuck away.
Also, they talk about fun something that will rock your computer.
I hope that this game is not going to be an MMO :-0

Not sure if this will affect the video games cause that could be a different clause altogether or not even in it.

Answer: Uziel... fairly easy, as it's a more recognizable one, particularly since MW4.
WHEN THE MECH'S FOOT CAME INTO VIEW, I SQUEALED.

1) The Foot is way too big and chunky to be a BattleTech Mech,
2) The Cars and City Art Style just doesn't fit the Battle Tech Universe.. (which is suppose to be far far into the future 1000+Years, and not look like a car/city of today)
