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!

You could say that MW2 was the whole reason I bought my first PC. Hopefully the new one is even better than that.

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!
