Excellent taste, friend.

Excited for the new game from Harebrained in the works, the demo was pretty cool.

good, if you want to support American products, and don't want to buy imports.

bad, came from a questionable origin.

/m/ has a sizable fanbase around the battletech franchise.

Neat setting. I could spend all day reading through Sarna.net. Hasn't had a good vidya game in many years though.

Mechs are slow and clumsy as all hell. Most of the time you could replace them by scaling up a tank.

Other than that, the elementals are fun,the table top mechanics are great, and I'd love to delve into the fluff.

Yes, the thing I hate about a mecha game are the mechs. Sue me.

>>15789301
There's a "funny" story in that. Turns out Harmony Gold really doesn't respect the licences it buys.

>>15788156
>take the sleek and sexy designs from Macross
>make them blocky and ugly
why

>>15789763
You aren't alone anon, I find battletech mechs to be too big and to look very unwieldy. Something like Knightmere/Wanzer/Votoms size for Light/medium mechs and the Heavy/assualt being proto-mechs/light mechs in BT would be dope in that universe.

>>15789763

>the video game mechs are slow and clumsy

FTFY

The table top mechs in Battletech are Anime as fuck.

The vidya get the feeling all wrong. Every mech except for the heaviest Assaults should be able to jump without jets. The light mechs can do fucking cartwheels. The mechs actually fight hand-to-hand complete with dodges and cross-counters.

No video game has ever gotten the true spirit of the tabletop game.

For what it's worth, I think the opening cinematic of Mechcommander gets closer than probably almost anything else. Even that's a sad shot off from what they're capable of, though there's one point where the Raven does a quick pivot on one foot that's totally dead-on.

I think in general the model animations in Mechcommander, if not particularly diverse in what they show, at least had a really good smooth, human-like gait to them. Like I said, still not pushing the boundaries to the level we know BattleMechs can handle, but still a step up from the "ka-chunk ka-chunk" feel you get in most other BT games.

It's kind of sad because the one fan animation that got it down to a T couldn't continue.

MechCommander and MechWarrior 3 had probably the best intros Though there is that weird moment where the Summoner/Thor looks down at its leg at an impossible angle..

RJs don't even make much sense unless they mimic the digitigrade pattern.

Otherwise they're just crappy bipeds.

Also, I heard that Robotech spurred a lot of transforming plane/mecha lawsuits and many third parties decided to stay clear and stop making stuff with transforming planes/mechs. Supposedly that's one of the reasons why nothing similar to Bulk Slash has been made since.

This sounds like an epileptic tree theory to me, but given how crazy lawsuits tend to be should I be surprised?
