But have they improved the graphics? MW5 Mercs had a lot of pretty eye watering textures and needlessly low poly models. It looked like it was 10 years old as soon as it was released. Also the lance mate AI was absolute trash. It was really best in co-op with actual humans helping you ...then it was good fun. Having said that though, co-op was only fun with MODS which shouldn't need to be the case. Coop players should be able to customise mechs on their own, not only wait for the host to do it all (we got mods to allow this, and to bypass other silly design choices). The functionality of the mods needs to be implemented in the new game

@Slayer119988 4 дня назад

I got into MWO quite late in its existence, although I have been aware of the Mechwarrior and Battletech franchise for a long time. I dove into the lore eagerly since starting MWO, finding it to be exactly what I like being raised with other dee[ sci-fi franchises. Right off the bat, comparing MC5: Clans to MWO, its great to see well designed human characters full of expression and life. What surprises me about clan Smoke Jaguar in the new game is how sophisticated, "modern". and high-tech they are. Learning most lore from online wikis like Sarna, and watching just a bit of the early 90s Battletech animated series on YT, I assumed they would be much more rugged and barbaric as the animation portrays clan Jade Falcon. The third person perspective is another big surprise. MWO offers it at the expense of losing your battle map. Its almost taboo for some long time players to hear someone uses third person.

@spacedghost577 4 дня назад

Highly, highly recommend BlackPantsLegion's "Tex Talks Battletech" series on youtube where he goes over lots and lots of lore in awesomely narrated videos. In case you haven't hit this part of the lore yet - Clans have better tech than the Inner Sphere. There used to be a "Star League", an alliance between all the great houses of the Inner Sphere, with a Star League Defense Force (SLDF) that had the best mechs and tech to keep the houses in line. After the Amaris Civil War, there was no clear next leader for the Star League which led to conflict and eventually the SLDF Commander (Aleksandr Kerensky) decided to leave the Inner Sphere and take his followers with him. They became the Clans, while the Inner Sphere continued warring between houses which led to declining technology and knowledge about that technology. The Clans eventually returned, with some wishing to conquer the Inner Sphere and some wanting to protect them.

@spacedghost577 4 дня назад

MechWarrior is completely different, basically bigger tanks with legs and scifi weapons. There's no dodge button, you need to use cover and torso twist to spread damage or protect certain weapons, damage is applied to different parts of the 'body', etc. To be clear, I love both, but they scratch different itches.

@screenmonkey 4 дня назад

Tanks with legs is a simptom of the fact that the controls for the videogames were limited and most people didn't play with the more advanced rules in Battletech, with the advanced rules and the earlier novels, mechs are more maneuverable along the lines of a human, Omnimechs (1st Line Clan mechs) are for the most part dedicated dueling platforms not the old multipurpose humanoid (mostly) Battlemechs used by the Innersphere.

@StrikeNoir105E 4 дня назад

@@screenmonkey Indeed, in old BT lore mechs did move more akin to anime mecha, which is likely because Battletech was heavily inspired by the various mecha anime coming out in the late 70's and early 80's, made more obvious by how a lot of the classic designs like the Marauder, Shadowhawk, Warhammer etc., were licensed designs from various anime like Macross. Mechwarrior though sadly cemented the "walking tank" portrayal of Battlemechs, and by the time technology caught up people have been exposed to walking tanks for so long that it has become the default image of battlemechs for many.

@CatsOverdrive 3 дня назад

_"Looks a lot more methodical than the chaos of Armored Core..."_ That made me smile since, I just got off from a grade 50(out of 100) raid mission in MW5. The amount of light mechs, mediums mechs, choppers, and combat vehicles the game suddenly, and happily threw at me...I'll just say, MW5 have it's own brand of crazy whenever it feels like it(the fun of procedurally generated missions).

It looks visually cooler than ever in effects and graphics. But the speed of the mechs seems too fast. Like there's no real momentum to any of these walking behemoths. Every is instantly at full walking speed and can instantly change direction. It looks like it's skirting the line of being another "mech game" that is really just a giant robot skin over normal fps movement. The faster all these multi-ton giant robots move the less and less sim and more ordinary shooter with a mech skin the game becomes. Also is there no collision or friendly-fire between mechs on same side? I really like the set up for this game of starting out as a newbie. But it's a big turn off if they're FPS casualizing the game's movement and tactical elements (no collision?) that make it actually feel like you're piloting a giant death robot made of tons of steel.

Excited for this but I'm really hoping this is a precursor to Mech 6 being done fully in UE5 and having all the features and more of Mech 5.

@cgrumler 3 дня назад

While I do have concerns about lack of replay value (I've sunk SOOOOO many hours into MW5 Mercenaries because it has tons of replay value), I'm thinking that being able to pilot Clan tech for the first time in ages may help make up for that. :)

@googhouls 4 дня назад

It looks good, i really like the missile trails and the lasers. You know what the best upgrade over mw5 is? i didnt see any tiling on their terrain textures. I think what will make or break this game is how they do the battle of tukayyid. It needs to be BRUTAL. Wave after wave wearing down your armour and amunition, mission after mission slowly sapping you of your pilots and resources until there is nothing left. Im talkin objective: survive but on a much bigger scale than what you would see in other games. I'd like to see more before i buy it though. ill have to wait for some reviews. Seems like you intend to when the time is right, see you then!

@mikeschertzer941 3 дня назад

Is there any information about "end game" here? I get that it's a narrative driven game. But is there anything to do at the end of the story? Or is it just "start again or stop playing"? Also...do you think that the commitment to cross platform play will make the game less mod-friendly on PC? Seems to me that the best thing about Mercs games in the MW series is that (1) you can play forever and (2) at least MW5: Mercs had so many great mods on PC.

@2236gaming 4 дня назад

Because of the story driven approach on MW5 Clans I wonder if the Ai pilots can eventually die and you still can manage and hire new crew. I put an insane amount of hours into the MW5 Mercenaries despite its flaws, I'm so ready for this one.

@Freezezonian 3 дня назад

My big question so far is is it just the clan Omni mechs for the main story or can I slowly waddle my way into battle in a Stone Rhino? Otherwise this looks great and I'm really excited for it.

Actually the "death blossom move" you speak of where you fire all your weapons at once is called an "alpha strike."😄 Also fun note, Clan Smoke Jaguar are genocidal monsters. You are playing really really bad guys.

It's a shame the Ebon Jaguar didn't make it in. Perhaps in a future DLC pack if the game does well.

@revolrz22 4 дня назад

Those uncanny valley characters worry me. Yes, I get it, we're in for the mechs. But once upon a time battletech had good stories to tell with people at the core. I'm glad they're trying to go back to a linear story, but the way these characters are animated makes me doubt the game. Especially considering the mechs aren't particularly well animated either.

@nighthowell 4 дня назад

Something looks....off. With the LRM trails, the physics of the blown up chassis, some of the animations...the environment destruction looks choppy, as in the same "disappearing tiles of building" MW5 had. I'm surprised they couldn't improve it more meaningfully over the last game with UE5. The character models remind me of mass effect andromeda, not in a flattering way. Still hyped, and modders will of course take it to the next level.

@Vanq17 4 дня назад

Hey ACG, are there any missions that you can repeat? The one thing I loved the most about Mercenaries was just cruising around with my crew and slowly making my team stronger and stronger. Is this game just purely story-driven missions?

@joeldoxtator9804 4 дня назад

This sounds like what Mechwarrior 5 merc was supposed to be. Feels like we have been playing a demo these last 5 years. I just hope the story is long enough to warrant the price of a full game as most of the assets are just a flip from MW5 Merc. I also hope they keep the random flying about the galaxy for missions of the previous title after you are done the campaign. Otherwise the life cycle of this game will be limited and you will still need MW5 merc to play out a career outside of the story campaign.

@AbbreviatedReviews 4 дня назад

Robot Jox, The Last Starfighter, and Starship Troopers? That's like a full decade of scifi cult classic movie references. But this already looks better than Mercenaries, even if it's just that the characters aren't a bunch of mannequins posted around the ship interior. Though there's something a little strange about those face animations. They don't necessarily look bad, but some of them look a little odd. Nothing I saw here has made me any less excited for it though.
