MechWarrior 5 Mercenaries - Biome Update Teaser 

I ask, please, that if you have to choose between releasing on time/earlier, and making a more complete game, please delay the release. I'd much rather wait a bit longer than have to deal indefinitely with missing or rushed stuff.

"Oh god, oh god, please be good" intensifies.

Please don't screw this up!

BattleTech releasing next month, MechWarrior 5: Mercs at the end of the year, and MWO still going in between all of it. It's the year of the Mech!

As we alll want, do not fuck that up. Release the game a year later if needed.

For a 3 month period between the mechcon demo and this. The visuals are looking far more polished. I'm actually quite pleased how they're turning out. Really starting to get the hang of the unreal engine it looks like. Things can only get better if they don't make an uhoh.

This seems to be going in the right direction. DIBS ON THAT ATLAS.

I really love the look of those lasers.

please tell me this trailer music will be in-game. It gets stuck in my head like nothing else.

Cannot put into words how f#*king ready i am for this game.

Guys, this is looking GOOOOOD. I had the opportunity to play MW5 a little bit at MechCon, and I can already see that you guys have made substantial progress since then. I'm really excited to see what you guys have to show us at MechCon this year, too!

For anyone that doesn't know yet. MW5 will be an Epic Game Store exclusive for a year! They moved the release date back to December. If you want a refund, they've set a deadline for September 1st. Also if you do refund, you get to keep the MWO goodies they gave with the pre-order.

Man when will the K2 pilot learn about minimum range on his ppcs

I'm in love. Those deserts look especially good.

Going through the comments, one cannot help but notice how bad is the PGIs reputation with people who actually play their games :)

Well hopefully hey have full mod support so the community can fix any of the games shortcomings.

I hope this game actually feels old school... Pre-MW 3* I also hope they allow TrackIR or VR for the pilots head movement separate from the Mech's torso and other hardware like Sidewinder style Joystick, Throttles, and Rudders "HOTAS" to be implemented I also hope an upgrading system of the pilot him/herself like the tabletop version. I also hope the lore is prominent and expressed thoroughly. ...my expectations is gonna make me hate this isn't it :-(

Awesome, the details about the campaign sound great aswell, the only thing I am missing is a bit more of a reaction from the mechs when they are hit by an explosion. It would be much more satisfying when you feel them take a missile instead of not moving an inch.

i heard that MW5 will have 4 player coop. is this true? anyone know

This makes me very excited - if you can deliver the tactical/tweaky side of things as well, then this should be excellent. Congrats in a very nice Teaser. :)

Destructible terrain, and gorgeous environments is nice and all, but how about answering the questions that actually matter: Is Death from Above and/or charging/melee attacks viable tactics? Do the mechs become sluggish or difficult to aim when the mech's heat scale is near shutdown? Can I drop buildings on my enemies and expect them to be damaged by the falling debris? Likewise, can I shoot a bridge out from under an enemy's feet, and expect them to take damage in the fall? Can I backhand a mech and land it on it's metal ass!?!? Do the enemies have good AI? Will severely damaged mechs have lengthy repair times? Will this play like a mech sim, or just be another attempt at a shitty twitch FPS? Will ANY of the shittier gameplay issues that plagued MW:O be addressed at all? These are the questions that must be addressed before my faith in PGI is rekindled.

looks frigin epic and sweet. Keep up the good work pgi!

Nice musical theme!

1:52 that fps drop...

i love the way it really presents the scale. they feel like massive machines blasting each other over long distances. love it.

Wow, I have been waiting for ages to see this single player mech genre come back to life. MW2 and 3 were so good back in the day, I am so glad the devs are making a proper single player game now and it looks drop dead gorgeous. I can't wait!!! Mechwarrior is back baby!!!! We even have a great battletech strat game coming as well. Good stuff!

This looks AWESOME! Can't wait. Loved the original Mechwarrior games. This looks to be even more epic!

WOW! Looks better and better! Helecopters and explosions need tweak, but the mechs are awesome. The environment looks more detailed than last time i saw :) Thank You for the great work! We are waiting :)

Looking awesome guys, keep it up!

As one of my favorite youtubers has recent said "Giant robots are fucking awesome"

Will this game have EyeX integration?

Watched about 20 times! Soooooo excited! Definitely a reason to upgrade the system!

Actually looks, sounds, and plays like the originals. Saw falling trees, vehicles, heard guitar rifts!? ... is this real?

Wow, jump jets that are not feeling like hover jets! Impressive.

Looks absolutely stunning!

Cool, you should add people and soldiers walking around, because it adds a better sense of scale.

looks pretty amazing. Im hoping for a great, deep, campaign experience. I think the big stompy's look a bit slower than MWO, which is a positive IMO.

This really is The Year of BattleTech!

Just get me in the cockpit of a Mad Dog and Ill be settled, cant wait

Hot damm, this is epic. Thanks for the preview. The days of MechWarrior 2 will not be tainted with Childhood wonder. My screens will be filled with the fireballs of VTOLS, and tanks. Seyla!

I have goosebumps, I feel like a kid in the 90's again

I'm VERY excited about this. It looks absolutely awesome. That said there's a couple of things I'd like changed graphics-wise: 1) 0:49 physics-based building destruction would be awesome, instead of rubble falling away in sheets.Some fire/burning effects would be cool too. 2) 1:15 the giant tree on the right is REALLY cool, but I feel like all the giant trees are the same model. Couple more variations wouldn't go astray. Then again, maybe you guys have higher priorities than little details like this:).

awesome! i hope it is complex as mw online and maybe weathereffects. rain and thunderstorm would be enough for me. i also hope there is a financial part for your mercenary organisation. finding very rare unique weapons/mechparts during missions would be a cool motivation to play it forever.

Please tell me it's going to have good and properly impactful sound design by the time it comes out instead of rolling out with the same flaccid sound effects of MWO. Reactor explosions also need to come back, even if they're just occasional and under very specific kill conditions.

have not heard one computer system voice in any video, hopefully she's there to tell you about the weather conditions of the planet, etc. Details like that made MW2 so memorable..

That was very satisfying to watch. Hopefully it pays off.

Effing gorgeous! Love the scaling of the Atlas vs trees in the Forest there. Everything looks so tactile. I suppose I should start saving for a 'rig upgrade now, lol. Betting this won't be as processor bound as MWO, but still....

Reactor online. Sensors online. Weapons online. All systems nominal. My body is ready. My pants are wet. brb.

Hahaha, those laser beams looks like nowadays laser pointers :D Guys, that's not how a high intensity laser capable of destroying metal looks.

Well at least they got footage of someone that can shoot.

Amazing!

I hope to God this game rekindles my childhood of playing MechWarrior 2 and the original Mechwarrior: Mercenaries.

Wow, MegaMek 2002 sure looks great.

Looks amazing!

Can't wait!

Oh man I need this, sweet sweet MechWarrior! Is there a option to upload the main theme to RU-vid? Please Piranha Games.. I need it to play in the back as I play MWO.

Cool!

Just please tell me you will be set up to use force feedback joysticks!

Looking good from this side of things.

Nice job! Glad you guys let your VFX/lighting team give the game some love. I'm enjoying the heck out of all your preview videos, but until now they looked a little flat and barebones. But not anymore.

Looks nice !

The framerate differences are painful to look at - okayish 45 fps - smooth 60 fps - horrid 15 fps - smooth 60fps. *concern*

Can't wait! Just placed an order for a new computer build. Last time I built a computer was to play MWLL lol!

I literally had just made a joke about PGI's trailers on my last livestream when I was playing Battletech, comparing the Battletech trailers to MWO and MW5 trailers, and how PGI trailers pale in comparison by just showing random action scenes with cliche action music...the timing here is surreal. PGI, have you seen the Battletech trailers? How they actually convey real information about the game, what it's gonna be about, how the game will play, presenting it in a neat and quick way in a simple yet informative 1 to 2 minute video that both appeals to old AND new players, and actually does an amazing job of exposing the game to new people and bringing new people in? Which I may remind you is something this franchise could definitely use. I'm hoping the game is good but my god your PR needs some serious work.

The enviroments are looking alot better :D

"Look at the bright side kid, you get to keep alllll the money"

Looks great!

That city map looks AMAZING.

awesome cant wait

I am very much liking the destroyable buildings, the Atlas walking through the light sheds, and the overall look of it.

Much better, very very very nice!

i can wait till mechwarrior 5, my dad played number 1 and 3 and i am currently playing MWO so i cant wait for this sequal

Looking good! Poor K2 always getting beat down, I will help it rise to victory. Love seeing the Atlas stomping through a building like a speed bump giving zero f**ks.

Looks great. Cockpit seems to allow for greater visibility, and graphics are very good. If this game is due to be released sometime in 2018, then an announcement of a release date should be out very soon.

Can't wait to play this in VR!!!!!!

I really hope you guys include non-MWO mechs in this game. Such as the MW4 themed mechs. Maybe even for skirmish/MP you get some designs (THAT ARE NOT MWO'd) from later TROs like the Lament.

This game better have HOTAS support. Do you hear me Piranha Games?

As long as the mercenary side of the game is done to this level or better this could be the best MW Mercenaries game to date.

YEAH! Holy shit, I can't wait.

As far as I am aware... I am yet to see any lancemates in any gameplay videos. I mean, that's a thing in this right? It is mercenaries plural after all... Please do correct me if I am wrong.

I just blew a cool shot on my keyboard from watching this... PLEASE BE GOOD!!!

fantastic

hope they can roll some of this amazing biome damage model into the MWO client in the next year as well

Does the eject button actually leave your character on the battle field? I have been waiting for this feature since MW1.

Well done! I liked also the Game name style similar to MW2

I truly hope you put more critical thought and effort into this than the slapdash money grab that the last several years of MWO have been.

You guys this trailer is AMAZING! This game is so damn polished, the graphics are beautiful. Please do NOT allow this IP to be bullied into a Christmas release. If it's not ready, then so be it. Christmas or not you have a following here. Your game WILL be bought regardless. This game is going to be the crown jewel of the entire series. PLEASE DON'T RUSH IT!!! And for gods sake PLEASE no micro-transactions!!!!!

I may need a new PC for this... looked Dope

I haven't played MWO for probably two years now. I don't understand what this is as all the website info seems linked to MWO. What is different about this game? Is it single player campaign with updated graphics or what? I can't find any information about what makes this a distinct product from MWO. Help? Thanks!

We need this also in VR!

Clearly, there is still hope for this game. I just hope they take their time and do it right though

Weapon sounds are finally on the right level. There isnt enough "wooms" in mwo, this looks more like a real battlemech.

The four cannon Rifleman is a keeper. Are you bringing back the Bushmaster? It's the only 'Mech I ever truly loved.

Nice!

while this looks amazing I do have some questions, first: what is that mech that looks like a up-sized raven with huge cannons at 0:25, is it a new unseen redesign? second: is the lighting still under work? the shadows don't act naturally and appear to just be dark splotches. if this is the case then I hope the game isn't rushed out before it is implemented properly.

Man I really want to be excited for this but the visual effects for the weapons are really killing it for me.

We need this.... So much... Any chance MWO will be implemented with this new engine?

*Grabby hands* Gib plz ;..;

I know the focus is on the graphics, but that music though. Please tell me that's the main theme or something, because that guitar's excellent.

Much better!
