I've not actually watched that vid as I can't get it to load. It starts buffering then hangs. Don't have the patience for that. ;)

you missed nothing
about 7seconds of a city intersection with a car at the foreground
then comes a big mech foot in front of the screen making the car shake ...

for a teaser it's a very short one with a lot of tease :roll:

AWESOME. "MechWarrior" confirmed as a series reboot. Trailer just came out midnight PDT, looks great. Just need to hear about some gameplay elements (controls and customization) and I'm good. Well, would've preferred Clan stories, but I'm happy enough with a new game.

nice, thanks infernus for the links. :D

I hate that word "reboot." What's so awesome about completely disregarding all previous games and starting all over again? It's not like Tomb Raider where they pumped out sequel after crappy sequel until the whole franchise became a joke.

well... if at least they make a new nice simulation mechwarrior game
and given the time we had to wait for it ...
I will happily disregard the loss of previous mechwarrior history


In any case it's not done yet since they are still searching for publishers according to those articles... :?

Previous MechWarrior games is the sole reason most of us are interested in this. The very word "reboot" implies they will pretend they never existed.

really ?
I think I played mechwarrior 2 & 4 or 3 & 4 not sure
the storyline was nice but nothing spectacular as I remember them

unless you're talking about something else perhaps ?

there's not so much battlemechs games around nowadays ...

I don't think we played MW for the story line.
It was more for the way we could customize a mech and bring it into battle.
We could put 6 LLR into a novacat for a no heat match.
I was a hell of a laugh when we brought the mech and someone forgot to turn off the heat.
Once we fired we blew up.
Also remembered a flying daishi. :)

Just because it's a reboot doesn't mean they will forsake the original games. It's not like you can't go back either. Besides, the previous games weren't a continuous series or anything (just chronological), so it doesn't even make much of a difference whether or not they add a '5' to the end.
Speaking of the previous games though, specifically:

Sounds like they'll try to make a new patch too, so it can add all content including MekTek Studio stuff as well.

That's awesome about free Mech 4... I can't find my discs. :(

Although I'd like it way more if I could use all the extra MekTek mechs in the single player... :)
