Get Excited: New MechWarrior Game Basically a Lock

It’s been a while, MechWarrior. Doing well? Still raining death upon your foes and causing millions of dollars worth of collateral damage? Good! Man, after you took your gigantic, metallic show on the road to Xbox territory, we never thought we’d see you ‘round these parts again. Now, though, PC-focused IGN sister site Voodoo Extreme is dropping hints right and left that you’re back to stay. And who are we to disbelieve teaser trailers, announcement dates, and even developer info?
Who’s this “Piranha” developer, though? Your old handler, FASA, may have gone under in 2007, but we could’ve sworn former FASA owner Jordan Weisman acquired rights to anything involving your virtual visage. Guess we’ll get to the bottom of this caper on Thursday, July 9 at 12:01 AM PDT. Or at least, that’s what IGN says. (And IGN? Seriously? Guess all the long nights we spent together mean nothing, then?)
In the meantime, we’ll be clicking the first link that we somehow placed in this unspecified letter format (Snail mail? Email? Smoke Signal? We don’t even know!) to watch those teaser films that are so thoroughly soaked in IGN’s pungent, musky perfume… Where did we go wrong, MechWarrior? Tell us! We promise we’ll fix it!
ooooh

I just got wood when I saw the title. Time to start dusting off the old force feedback 2.
MW2 was my first PC game ever

You could say that MW2 was the whole reason I bought my first PC. Hopefully the new one is even better than that.
Best news I've heard all year

There is a god... they should stick to the same format but make it more RPG style. Now if Lucasfarts would make a sucessor to xwing alliance all would be right in the world. Bring on the WOBBIES, down with the jihad.

If it is a MechWarrior game, please let the 'Mech builder be closer to the tabletop's rules than what MechWarrior4 had. I want to be able to play the custom designs I made for the tabletop game as close as I can, damnit!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE!

Now, I'll need to build ap a COre i7 machine for this, and what's the best joystick out there? Is it Win 7 compatible?

That would truely rock if another MW came out. I played MW2:PM and MW3 online for many 'O nights, and remember them fondly.

Now...if Wing Comander would be anounced....then I would be the hap hap happies gamer there was!!

Without a doubt!!! After Wing Commander, everything else always felt so damn boring! Never could find a space sim that had the same vibe or even came close.
Heaven was found in many wasted hours playing Wing Commander: Privateer. One of the first "open" games that let you go anywhere you wanted, although there often wasn't much to do once you got there!
