Piranha Games announces MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries, a new installment in the mech combat series. In spite of enduring affection for the franchise, this will be the first single-player MechWarrior game in 15 years. This is being built with Epic's Unreal Engine 4 for release in 2018, but they reassure MechWarrior Online players that a live team will continue to support that game as well.

PanzersEast: Have to think to myself.... will I play the first one by the Winter Sale?  Probably not, then I should remove Dragonfall
PanzersEast: but that is thinking too logically.... and Steam Sales are about ignoring Logic

Hawt. And I don't just mean the heat sinks.

Looks exceptional. Surprised 2018. Looks like they have a pretty solid foundation already.

Looks just like Mechwarrior Online with some extra voice work over the top.

What that done (and Titanfall 2 did not) was give your mech a sense of weight and scale.

I loved Titanfall 2 - but it did lack in that department I thought.

Looks good. I'd love another Mech game.

Although I'd love another Mech game, modern 3D software gives me motion sickness.  I wish they included a way to turn down the "realism".  I never had trouble with older FPS games but the trailer for Battlefield 3 made me sick in 2 minutes flat.  I lasted 15 in Call of Pripyat.  Makes it feel like my brain is spinning inside my skull.

I'd love to see you try out VR.  :2funny:

I can't believe that it has been 15 years since the last single-player MW game!

I also can't believe they're calling it "Mercenaries" again. Really, guys? Or does this mean you're just remaking the plot to the 3rd part of MW4?

Then I wouldn't be responsible for who I threw up on!

I'll have to live with the new Battletech Kickstarter I backed.

Am I the only one unimpressed with that vid, and how it just looks like they're using the MWO client to shoe-horn in single-player content? 

Meh.

Guess it's because much of my past Mechwarrior enjoyment was in multi-player.  Back in the waning days of LAN parties.  ;D

I'll just go do some MWO whenever I feel the need.
