It's Mechassault all over again, both from the trailer and the fact that Day One is behind it, but thankfully it doesn't carry the Battletech license this time, so it won't yank over all the Battletech fans. It'll probably be fun, but it won't hold a candle to the more sim-like Mech games that come out this year. At the bare minimum, it's more competition for Piranha, so it's probably good for us.

[Lima Zulu]

I guess, we should pray that MWO will never look like this...

How do you guys feel about this?

Micro$ofted!
They couldn't get the MW:4 Series properly, so they went and nagged some consoleros with their MA series.
Now with MW:O coming up M$ seems to hope they'll get a piece of the action throwing NagAssault 3 on the market.

They wouldn't dare this! They'd never be able to move out on the streets without helmet and kevlar vest!
On the other hand, the'd never ever be in the danger of starvation with all that vegetables the'd receive. Even if that would be a little old.

Can't wait to try it!

Honestly, MWO and RoT are so different that I don't think it should cause too many problems. The folks that like arcade deathmatches will choose RoT, those that prefer sims will choose MWO. Also, MWO is PC, and I'm guessing RoT is Xbox. I think the only audience MWO will lose is those that have a need for a mech game that wouldn't have any other choice before RoT.

I am looking forward to all the Mech games coming out!

That game looks suited for people with twitch skills. aka COD people.
Not something I would like since the game doesn't seem to have any tactics/strategy to it. Also face pace with mechs usually doesn't go well.

I know a game with fast pace, twitch skills and a lot of teamwork and tactics involved. It is called Starsiege:Tribes (yeah a mech universe, but no mech involved) and Tribes 2.

Good for you. Didn't you get a spare beta-key?

[Webclaw]

Absolutely laughed my head off when it said, quite seriously I might add, "From the makers of MechAssualt"

[Fantine]

It is a very nice game, I have featured reign of thunder on my blog

You may want to check the tags on the Youtube video again. Even IGN seems to think it doesn't have a platform announced when one of the tags is clearly "PC game"

Still, could be interesting, I'll probably give it a shot. Consider it a backup if MWO turns out to not be to my liking.

Yeah oops sorry, i posted twice and forgot to remove one. Thanks haha.

Read the first few pages....I love it how the MA console fanbois were dissing the BT PC "purists and elitists" and look how that turned out.
And of course, they shut up quite nicely now. lol not really a bright idea to insult the Mechsim gamers, isn't it?

Anyway, game doesn't really look too shabby but it doesn't really hold much of a candle against Hawken, which is a more closer competitor to it. Cartoonish artsyle is nothing wrong but I'm not sure if it meshes well with giant stomping robots. Battlemechs are supposed to make people believe they are THAT 50 tons of metal and destruction but cartoonish graphics do not portray that aspects. So the mechs in this game look like plastic toys.

Plus the video shows too much of AE damage cluster**** so I'm not sure what are they trying to impress on potential players. That DIDN'T look fun at all.

But well, can never have too much of mech games so this is a good trend.

Its a F2P game. While still not 100% confirmed, F2P and PC are basically, to quote RockPaperShotgun.com, like dogs and lamp posts .

[Saint of Sinners]

Not impressed with the mecha designs.

Anyone catch the release date?

[HATER 1]

removing the battletech from it will potentially make it a playable game for me. my biggest beef with the MA games is not staying true with the universe fluff.

that being said, the game itself doesn't look that good to me. the movement animations were clipped, the weapon effects were frequently over the top, and i thought i saw a few 'flying' mechs (gundam style).... not on my list of likes. As far as the speed of the game goes..... holy sh!tballs...... they could make a side game in there just for drag racing those mechs.
