More on the new Mechwarrior

With the announcement of the new Mechwarrior game, there seems to be a good deal of early buzz and anticipation already. I’m actually quite surprised by the whole thing, as I figured people just weren’t into the half-simulation/half-action type of games anymore. But not only is the new Mechwarrior announced (not as a sequel, but as a series reboot), but it’s also including some of the original “unseen” mechs, such as the Warhammer and Rifleman whose image rights had been lost over the years.

For more info, IGN has a news article with the new Mechwarrior trailer and a 6-page interview with Jordan Weisman.
