From PC Gamer: I do so love MechWarrior games. I'm somewhat concerned that it's from the same publisher, and wouldn't want their development team spread too thin. Must remain positive though. More MechWarror is a great thing! Go reserve your callsign now!
I probably won't be playing this one. While it's a viable strategy game, I doubt they'll do a good job of it.
Yeah, that's probably what they're aiming for. Unfortunately I do think they're spreading themselves too thin, and they don't have enough experience or credibility to pull this off.
Yup. You hit the nail on the head. It looks like they got the rights to develop on the MechWarrior IP and they're going in guns blazing. Now, if MWOnline and MWTactics turn out to be amazing games, then I will admit defeat. It's hard to see that happening though. The MechWarrior from the golden days is a hard thing to live up to.
...Mechwarrior of the golden age. It was a niche game like most other popular sims at the time. Anything they make now, I can guarantee it will be better in terms of graphics, user-friendlyness, and gameplay control unless something goes terrible terrible wrong.
hell, I would almost prefer it remain a niche market for MechWarrior games. That just means I don't have to worry about too many trolls.
I would like to see mech sims come out, at least 1-2 decent ones. I grew up in starsiege and loved every moment of it.
