Capture from the video
See those two, round black bulb things above his head (and to the left?) He’s not shooting out of a window, he’s shooting out of a cockpit.
Oh look at this high rez screen from ages ago.
Either a complete coincidence, or nifty stuff.
EA probably heard I have banned myself from their products, and this is their clever way to get me back. I love giant robots.
What’s not to love about a game featuring a man with a gun shooting out of the shattered window of the cockpit of a giant robot?
Mmm Mechs. I need to write up my proposal for a MechWarrior MMO. If for no other reason than to get the itch out of my system. 🙂
Oh man, that would be sweet. I’m a huge Mechwarrior fan myself, and well, since there hasn’t need a new Mechwarrior game in forever this would be the next best thing.
I couldn’t find any solid evidence but I thought Interplay ultimately owned that IP? I know they sold off a lot of it when they went down, namely Fallout to Bethesda. But I wonder who actually has the rights at the moment. Shattered Steel from BioWare makes perfect sense though.
@Cap’n : that is pure, pure joy 🙂
@Tesh: Please do! It has long been a joy of mine ad well since the Fasa desktop days!
@MMO: especially since it seems ad though the new Mechwarrior title is back in courts over IP rights.
@Liam: interesting thought, although I’m sure if Bioware EA really wanted they could have re-purchased the rights. Does Interplay still make games?
All in all the new pic, with the slanted rails and the oddly placed bulbs was a weird choice if it isn’t SS, but stranger things have happened.
