You want videos about ‘mechs?

We got videos about ‘mechs! Lots and lots of videos about ‘mechs!

Piranha Games went YouTube-crazy today, uploading six new demo videos for MechWarrior Online via IGN:

Video #1: Video preview

Video #2: Light ‘mech developer breakdown

Video #3: Medium ‘mech developer breakdown

Video #4: Heavy ‘mech developer breakdown

Video #5: Assault ‘mech developer breakdown

Video #6: Mechlab developer breakdown

It looks like there are plenty of options for ‘mech fans to try out and lots of ways to tweak and customize your ‘mech to suit your play style. It’s a little reminiscent of World of Tanks, but with more options.

Oh, and lasers. They make everything better.

       Dang, if I knew we were supposed to wear our SWTOR hats, I would’ve worn mine!

  • lostlune

    • iamthemikeb

      Is it weird that I’m replying to this from the barber shop?

    • lostlune

    Oh MikeB, you silly man.  ;p  You never played BattleTech tabletop.  Light, Medium, Heavy and Assault are the classifications from the TT game, which is where MechWarrior spun off from.

    Though I’m glad to see MWO getting some attention!  I cut my strategy gaming teeth on BattleTech when I was growing up (RIP FASA *sadface*).  I first heard about MWO a couple years ago, but dismissed it as a rumor.  I ran across it again a few months ago and was skeptical about it actually being an MMO.  Glad to see that it’s something being covered here on GBTV!

        I don’t know if “cool” would be the word I’d use to describe my Car Wars obsession :)

    <3 old school battletech. glad they're using some of the original 'mechs instead of the bland new wave of lame ones introduced in the 90s.
