Mechwarrior 5 possible teaser (mechwarrior confirmed)

Post by John Doe117 »

IGN has an article with currently 3 different short (very) that is hinting at a mech game. Mechs look like battletech to me. This could either be a Mechassault 3, mechcommander 3 (has followed other mechwarrior games in the past, 3 and 4, so its not likely), or Mech5.

I want so hard to believe... but it doesn't look like Battletech style to me. :(

What I am afraid of is another mech assault... or mech4...

What do you think the other two 'Mechs are? The one looks like a Flea, and the other, maybe a Warhammer?

Although the videos are RIDICULOUSLY short
I am very optimistic about this (you guys are so pessimistic)

The 2nd video's mech looks like a Jagermech

the 3rd almost does look like a jenner -- maybe the original IS jenner

Don't know if I'm skepictal ... but certainly wondering what this means for my favourite hobby, MechVM. Or for the future of mech2.org, but we may know more after this interview.

i'm not really concerned about what it will do to our community. I mean, we're still around after mech3-4.
If anything, I predict a peak of interests by some wanderers looking around for previous versions of mechwarrior to see what they were like. They might stay, but most likely will go. But i think its worth mentioning (again) the additions of subforums for different games/genres we're playing now, along with mech2, so that those who wander in can see we're not only mech2 players

Do not worry about mech2.org going away.... mech2 survived like pepsi said 3-4 it will survive 5 as long as it is completely different than 2.
If they go back the roots of it then there may be a problem, but coming from the studio producing it I find that highly unlikely.
I still say for all we know it is going to be a MechAssault type game....
