I've got to say that at the end of the day, this just looks like another run-around-and-shoot-'em-up game. It doesn't glean much interest from me.

Something more like Steel Battalion might be better to my liking, but with a further realistic twist. Maybe an ArmA mod could do that...

I've been following this one for a while, and I'm really interested. Theres a few more videos floating around, and I know Mektek has huge interest in this.

I'm still more interested in the new Steel Battalion though....

The crazy thing... they built this with 6 full time people and 3 interns in 9 months.

We can't get a mid size mod around here out in 9 months... what tha....

It looks an awful lot like Front Mission Evolved. And having played that (it sucked) after liking it from trailers, I can't seem to muster any excitement this time around. Could turn out to be the game that one should have been though.

Note the adjective "full time."  Implies 8 hours a day for at least five days a week, last I checked (40 hours a week).  If you can find a mid sized mod on HLP that has ANYONE staffed full time, you will win at least one internet.

True true... and I knew someone would come up with something when I said it.

According to the Kotaku interview, they are doing 7 to 9 hours a day, interns I think said 3 hours in a rotating fashion.
Plus other jobs and/or families.

Still impressive either way.

Looks good, I like the terrain very much (looks nice futuristic). The muzzleflash is a little annoying, and the mech needs deeper stump sounds. Jumpjets are a little overused imo, they are more flying than walking. Still, I like it.

What I don't like, seems to be a little to fast for me and a simple MP "shoot the other players".  Not really something I take joy in.

IMO it looks like it has as much Descent in it as it does Mechwarrior. It has my interest.

I once said that my computer has been able to play every game that I'd actually WANT to play because there simply aren't any new games out that interest me at all.

I can't say that anymore :(

Also, try and pay close attention to the Sounds in the game. It's just awesome.

Hopefully Hawken is moddable.  I so want a MechWarrior mod on that engine.

[21:51] <@Droid803> this will be SLIIIIIGHTLY awkward
[21:51] <@Droid803> as this rich psychic girl will now be tsundere for a loli.
[21:51] <@Droid803> OH WELLL.

See what you're missing in #WoD and #Fsquest?

[07:57:32] <Caiaphas> inspired by HerraTohtori i built a supermaneuverable plane in ksp
[07:57:43] <Caiaphas> i just killed my pilots with a high-g maneuver
[07:58:19] <Caiaphas> apparently people can't take 20 gees for 5 continuous seconds
[08:00:11] <Caiaphas> the plane however performed admirably, and only crashed because it no longer had any guidance systems

It looks interesting indeed. I hope (like Thaeris said) that it wont end up being just a random shoot-em-blast-em-up (which is nice for a while though) and have a campaing of some sort. OR be moddable so that the tube-community could make a campaing for it.
Habeeb it...

From what I've seen, looks like they're planning multi-only.

On the bright side, since it's on the Unreal engine, it should be extremely moddable.

New trailer seems pretty generic, overall, but I still like the look of the game (Descent combat pacing, with mechs).
