Legal Woes for Mech Warrior 5

Let the trouble begin already. It seems that the guys who hold the Robotech patent are suing the MW5 devs about some IP infringement. Let's hope this doesn't delay the development of the new Mech Warrior game.

New Mechwarrior Game Confirmed

*ahem*

I'm extremely excited for the newly announced Mechwarrior video game which is supposed to reinvent and reboot the series. This continues the trend of reimagining existing franchies, from the Batman movies to the Prince of Persia video game series.

I've always loved this series, and have played every game in the FASA universe since Mechwarrior 2. Hopefully this update is going to be everything fans have been wanting.

The trailer over at IGN (all supposed to be in-game footage) looks amazing. The mechs are instantly recognizable, their weapons detailed and deadly, and the city-scape ravaged and gritty. It's a visual feast. I can only hope the gameplay is as good as the graphics, with excellent mech controls and a good single-player campaign. Undoubtedly there will be some multiplay component as well.

No date yet that I've seen, but you can bet I'll be following this game's development until its launch.

Now, who's taking pre-orders?
