Mechin' Good: Mechwarrior Details Approach
Blue has noticed that there have been some rumblings from Pirhana Games about their new Mechwarrior game. An announcement announcement! There's already a bit of information on their site, including this: "Gamers will pilot a deadly BattleMech and use information warfare to dominate a dynamic-destructive urban battlefield. The game features include classic and new mechs from the BattleTech universe with persistent character development and plans for a single player campaign, as well as, co-op, and multiplayer gameplay." You apparently play "a wayward nobleman" who ends up with a motive for revenge when his family are killed during a planetary invasion.
Worringly the site also runs with the headline "Not Your Father’s MechWarrior" which makes me sad because I am my own father. That said, the CG teaser which we first posted a couple of years ago (below) does look promising, and seems to get the plodding weapon-blastiness that is Mechwarrior.
