there have been rumors for a while, pretty much ever since that company bought the rights to produce a mechwarrior game.   I'm not surprised in the least.  In fact, I am not even that excited.  I want a new mechwarrior, but I've been waiting so long I've grown bored of waiting. I just hope it is good.

I used to be a huge fan of the Mechwarrior series, but alas, I've been spoiled utterly rotten by Steel Battalion: Line of Contact.

I wish I could say I was excited about this news, but I'm sure it'll have that same watered-down "mass appeal" they tried to achieve with later entries in the series and Mechassault.

Here's hoping for a full-blown sim, with the deepest customization options yet!

/wishful thinking

I hope to god they make the Ui like that of mechwarrior 3, the roaming reticle was the biggest thing I felt that separated the series from other FPSs, and mechwarrior 4 ruined it by making the reticle fixed. And the customizability of 3 was sweet.

I'm stoked!

Those 3 videos made me bubbly in the pants!

Look at my avatar and my nick and go figure.

I would also love a new Mechwarrior game. I actually hope for two diffrent games (probebly not going to happend):

1. A simulation style game with RPG content like the earler series.

2. A turnbased "tabletop" game focusing on tactics and stragety. There was one RTS like Mechwarrior game but I can't remember it's name. Like that one but turnbased instead of realtime and much more complex gameplay.

Although any Mechwarrior game will be great aslong as it isn't arcadeish or shootemupish

The Front Mission series was the best example of this.  Although I haven't played any since Front Mission 3, they were really well done back then.

Mechwarrior 1 wasn't a very good game at all.  It wasn't particularly bad, but it had little to do with the actual battletech game.  Mechwarrior 2 on the other hand was awesome.  Every release since then has been pretty good as well.  If they make a new one, I would hope it would be a first person game that follows the FASA rules like MW2 and later, and not a top-down view that used none of the FASA rules like the original.

Also, here is the status of the Crysis mod: Mechwarrior: Living Legends.

I hope that it gets finished enough that it actually gets released.

I'm a bit perplexed why so many people who liked mechwarrior hated mechassault. Personally, I liked 'em all. Nothing quite like creating mayhem with a giant robot. Mechassault WAS Xbox live for a bit there. Mechassault 2's campaign was ok, but way too short. The online stuff, though, rocked. So much diversity. So much fun. Just hope the next installment brings justice to the series name.

As long as it more like MW3 than MW4 ill be happy. I believe (thursday?) ign is going to have exclusive details on the game.

Yes on IGN on thursday night they are showing a world premiere so... Im there when that shows up!
