Battletech is coming to GOG. WOOT!  :bd:

Isn't that the one in development from the creators of the Shadowrun Returns series?

They made millions on the Kickstarter (once more) which unlocked what I thought were essential to making it awesome - a dynamic campaign.

I've been following this. Would have backed it, but the single player alpha skirmish has been significantly delayed.

Being a Kickstarter which unlocked a ton of extra features, it was inevitable that this thing would take a lot longer to be finished.

So many KS projects like this drag out so much longer.  :-\   

Just hope it comes as advertised.  It's one of the few upcoming PC games I'd actually go out of my way to check progress on.  8)




Think somebody posted an Alpha video of the early gameplay awhile back.

June 1st is the rumored release date so we will know soon whether the game passes muster.

For the game, or the SP skirmish alpha build?

EDIT: Sorry, missed Tpek's post above.

^Hahaha!

As someone who has no Battletech experience, this game looks pretty awesome.

I've played it, and that was like..right around the time of The Clans being added.

It's a blast when you're with people. FASA even made their own line of minis for it.

But I've never played anything resembling it since maybe..Titans of Steel? But that was it.

+1. Somehow missed out on Battletech in my youth. (I remember following Robotech in its bowlderized American syndication for a while...).

Anyway, this looks pretty rad.
