The Return of MechWarrior?
Want to know what's going on? IGN has the full details.

July 7, 2009 - 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.

The rumors started earlier today when a short, nine second trailer that shows off a city street and a number of slick looking sports cars. The street starts to vibrate as a stomping sound can be overheard, and shortly thereafter, what looks like a mech leg crunches into view. The video then ends as debris is propelled from the ground due to the impact.

With FASA Interactive officially dead, the rights to the MechWarrior franchise were acquired by Smith and Tinker, which was founded by FASA founder Weisman.

trust me, I jizzed in my pants as well when I saw the vids....even just watching those videos was like finally reaching the surface of the ocean after holding my breath until my lungs were on fire.

 It has to be a sign in the right direction.

*UPDATE* A second and third teaser trailer have just been released. The second is taken from inside a parking garage and shows a large bipedal mech stomping down a street with the wreckage of buildings burning in the background. Two cannons are visible on the body of the mech, and as it swivels, the trailer ends.

The third teaser trailer shows what appears to be a Jenner mech leaping atop a building.

Score!  I was right about the Jenner...

 It says "3rd person shooter"

 so...I think it looks cool.....but, I aint completely delusional.

now days, economy, cost of games, etc..  Any dev releasing something like this that doesn't have a following such as first person shooters, it would be suicide to only release it on a single platform.  You won't see it on the wii, but it will be on pc, xbox and ps3.  

This is amazing and eye opening news for sure.  I'm sitting here ******* jizzing on myself and thinking about how many kids I have to make and sell so i can buy a new entertainment system just to play this.

I will be a one game person if this thing is arcade-ish at all.

it was on the daily fix on IGN for today, they didnt give a game title
see for yourself:

I stand corrected, then.  "Traditionally", Front Mission is a turn-based Strategy RPG.  

@Scare:  It's a crapshoot, though...small-name titles more or less need to be multi-platform to survive, but there's a whole other round of headaches involved in doing it.  You've got the 7-'core' PPC derivative, the 3-core PPC, and whatever powers the Wii...and if the hardware layer's not abstracted out right, porting them becomes an expensive proposition.

Regardless...I'm anxiously awaiting more news.  If it's Mechwarrior 5 [or 6, don't remember what they're on now] it'll be a sim...if it's MechCommander 3 it'll be an RTS...and though it's heresy around these parts, given that it might be multi-platform it probably won't be MA3 then.  I don't see MS giving up their exclusive mech-game line.  

I think our wildest dreams might just come true. I read somewhere that Pirahna may be involved with the developement, I did'nt see that coming.

Gentlemen,

I feel we need to do our jobs as mechheads, as supporters of the mech franchise and as members of this site.  We need to get out there and help the buzz about this game.  Every community that use to play, may be interested in playing, hell even the damn sony forums need to see this.

I'm not saying hype it up, i'm saying draw some attention so that we can prove M$ wrong when they said there was no fanbase a few years ago.  obviously they believe a little now as they are publishing it, something has happened for sure.

I'm going to start going to as many sites as I can.

peaces!
