Nice to see their physic engine works :^)

Overall though it doesn't seem impressive. Looks like it will be bland and repetitive. The fact that none of the ground units have any impact triggers me.

Also

If only. They mentioned the game will feature procedural generation ala MW2: Mercs, but this being PGI they sure as fuck won't include any of the handmade content of MW2 or the ability to continue the game if you fail a mission.

I frankly wouldn't have a problem with them reusing the engine to add more campaigns, mechs, weapons et al, so long as the content was of good quality. I could care less about the graphics if the physics, weapon handling and other mechanics worked well, but we know it will be the same kind of shitshow MWO is.

Why wouldn't it be? The terrain was extremely flat, there was nothing interesting on the map and the compound looked as generic as possible. It basically looked like any randomized map from MW2: Mercs, only with more polygons.

>>13887248

Can't be a Polygon writer, he was actually hitting things that were mobile with a 50% chance of success and using the jetpack. Still, if this is the kind of dumbfuck they have developing the game no wonder they consistently fuck up even the most basic mechanics.

threadly reminder: PGI killed off every single fan project that sustained Mechwarrior for a decade, out of spite, because their hat simulator wasn't selling well enough.

MW5 looks like dogshit, still the worst handling Mechwarrior title, including MW1. instead of a proper physics based cockpit movement, around since MW2, they did a cheap animation. sound effects are irritating and bad. lifeless world interaction. jump jetting looks like riding an elevator. landing does nothing. shit.

It's a Shadow Hawk, box standard configuration. 55 Ton Medium. It goes 86kph which isn't really that slow for that time period but not that fast either. Above average is best to say.

Apparently they aren't going to allow in depth customization of the Mechs which actually I am kind of fine with if they do it in a non retarded way but knowing PGI they will be retarded about it.

Still more triggered that the game is meant to be set during 3015 and there's a Prototype Mech from 3025 in large numbers present.

It's been a while since I've played the old mechwarrior, so odds are you're right about the gameplay. Looking at the video again, the graphics are definitely behind, I guess I overlooked that since it looks sort of modern.

Yes they do actually, the thing is that in a Salvo only maybe 2-4 of an SRM6 will actually lock a target with the rest going wildly off course.

explicitly, in ordnance terms, a "missile" has some form of guidance system while a "rocket" is a dumbfire self-propelled projectile

you can't have a "short range missile" that is a dumbfire rocket, that's just retarded, then it's a "short range rocket" and it certainly isn't fired in salvos of just six

frankly while I love mechs and have enjoyed battletech and mechwarrior games the very first time I started messing with battletech back in the late 80s I was dumbstruck by how fucking stupid the weapons are. long range missiles fire in volleys of 20 but short-range only up to 6? why such fixed capacity of we're talking about a whole fucking galaxy of vendors? AC/2s have range out to bumfuck (actually ridiculously short given the scale of things) while AC/20s only have the range of my dick? and what the fuck is with LB-X cannons having IMPROVED range when they were explicitly stated to be cluster munitions?

the entirety of battletech is a black mark on FASA's game design record; mech designs stolen wholesale from other properties, nonsensical setting (you don't "lose" technology, it just doesn't happen once you're past the information age), absurdly stupid weapon balancing, nevermind that the whole concept of giant skyscraper-sized walkers is fairly batshit to begin with

Instead of hammering out a reasonable agreement Harmony Gold went full Yid and tried to sue FASA for every penny they were worth and in the end got nothing.

heh.

and yeah, not "outraged," but doesn't it feel a little cheap when you see the same old elements in every game? that's why I'm mostly tired of fantasy games because they're overwhelmingly lacking in creativity compared to science fiction properties. don't you get tired of seeing fighter/mage/thief/cleric/bard/monk in every fucking game?

I'm not saying every game has to be completely original and certainly there's value in common elements both in ease of understanding the content and also in terms of charm or nostalgia for people who are subject to that but Battletech to me was the most creatively bankrupt of FASA's properties, that's the point I was driving at. both Shadowrun and Earthdawn are more interesting from a creative standpoint, IMO

anyway on topic for the thread I'm vaguely interested in a new mechwarrior game but personally I'd be a lot more interested in a new mech property or a new heavy gear game with proper customization, sigh

Pretty sure I can explain that one. The fluff is that SRMs have minimized delivery system and maximized damage potential. Even the missile's casing is explosive because why not. So packing too many in one place is a bad idea for you and any friends in a small radius.

Also SRMs have way lower tonnage/space costs, so you can just pack more on for the same effect

your argument sort of falls apart when you take a second to realize I knew what I was talking about – the designs were taken from another source, not developed in-house.

as I said, other games from FASA were much more creative and original (even though Shadowrun borrowed heavily from contemporary cyberpunk works, particularly william gibson's, it still introduced a lot of interesting and new ideas to the cyberpunk theme) so it's not like I was saying that FASA is uncreative, I'm just shitting on battletech for being a nonsensical mess of a game lacking in creativity. I don't even hate it, I've played quite a lot of the tactical game, the mechwarrior pen & paper RPG, and also the electronic games, I just think it's not very good (likewise D&D, exact same story)

>>13897536

MAV looks pretty cool, but the company's website is bullshit and it's hard to find basic information about the game on it – does it support co-op or even single-player campaign play? are there at least botmatches? or is it purely competitive multiplayer like so many other games? (Robocraft, Scraps, Crossout, Gear Up, Terratech) I do see a mention about the game having good AI on a reddit post so clearly there's some kind of PvE, but is it fun? I'm really interested in the "actually see your weapons on your mech" building, I have to say

That's kind of what the Shawk does in that config, to be fair. An AC5, a MDLAS, an SRM2 and an LRM5. Fucking unexciting as hell up close.

God if they're forcing stock there are going to be some mechs that are fucking UNPLAYABLY BAD.

PGI are dumb as a sack of bricks and slow to react to anything. I don't know how many years it took them to implement balance fixes for shit that people were complaining about when the game was closed beta, only to make shit worse, or how long it took them to roll out Clan wars (which is half assed at best). I have absolute certainty MW5 will be a DLC shitfest on the level of Train Simulator.

They've already starting shitting the bed and have placed their lootboxes 'under revision' since EA shat the bed for everyone. Users don't even know if they can legally sell the unopened lootboxes they have to each other or not without getting banned. I don't think either of you truly realizes how much and how bad the bed has been fucking eviscerated with shit for everyone by EA.

Plus take into account PGI are going too busy trying to counterjew Harmony Gold alongside Harebrained Schemes since Harmony Gold is going to lose control of everything in less that 10 years or so, and thus is desperate for money, to risk a federal probe/investigation.

I realize everyone is panicking and praying the gubmit gives up on legislating their predatory shit, but I don't think they will stop them from flooding MW5 will DLC. It certainly won't have a multiplayer component because that would directly compete with MWO, though if MWO were to suffer a just death I'm sure PGI would simply release a full price "expansion" and continue Jewing with MW5.

>trying to counterjew Harmony Gold alongside Harebrained Schemes

>MechWarrior 5: Mercenaries is completely standalone and won't have any microtransactions, Bullock tells me. Instead, the game will be a "you pay full price, you get the game, you're done" kind of deal. Developed in Unreal 4, MechWarrior 5 is being made by a separate team than the one working on MechWarrior Online at Piranha, which has been publicly available since late 2012. It will be self-published, and there is no plan to utilize a platform like Steam's Early Access to release the game in an unfinished state. "I can't really see anyway that will work for this game," Bullock says.

>http://archive.is/tEsyf

Who knows. Hope for the best expect the worst. It's not being made by the same fags who made MWO and I think that EA's fuck up is going to force a lot of companies to backdown for a long while on trying to overtly jew the customer.

>I'm sure PGI would simply release a full price "expansion" and continue Jewing with MW5.

This is more likely to me. Probably just all their planned DLC separated into bundles or something. Still, I think that's better than having loads of microtransactions and DLCs.

Heavy weights is in the video, but its a different suit with no stilts, no head and no arms. Its very risky to put weight on a lightly (one man team) designed thing like that exoskeleton, one fall and your legs/arms will be twisted or crushed by that weight. I myself am at a loss of how to design something like this and 99.9% prevent heavy weight from hurting yourself. This is kind of why tractors, tanks, and things are designed the way they are, away from the body. The cockpit is protected, this exoskeleton isn't close to that.

All three parties involved self-destructing and leaving nobody to C&D fan projects would be ideal scenario, but since we live in this time and age I'll settle for MW5 and Battletech burning down.

>>13902285

And availability of said mechs is randomized. They talk some bullshit in the interview about some other factors (date, your location) influencing what mechs you can buy but we all know it's just going to be a shitty RNG slot machine that has you grid and pray you get to buy a mech variant that isn't actually shit.

Keep an eye on next months update. Currently there are bots for singleplayer offline and the bots use builds that other people have used, rather than random generation. If you lose against a bot you'll see it more often and the AI will choose that MAV for other people too. With the new garage and part unlock system meaning points to buy your parts straight across from experience gained, you can fight robots with some sense of progress until the next mode is out. As I say every time I shill, there's a demo so go fiddle fuck around with it if you want to see the game running.

With the advent of the new part-buy system for the arcade mode people've started running servers with bots on one team, players on the other. CURRENTLY that's as far as the co-op goes. I fucking love the game, I think it's fun. The gitgud mentality is strong in the community too, people requesting things be made easier usually get shut down.
