New Player: "Mia is a crazed sociopath." Me: "Mia is the most resonable Smoke Jaguar I have ever seen."
MAN that opening line is the perfect thing for a Smoke Jaguar to say 😂
On the other hand though, a bunch of Davion and Kurita soldiers on a comstar dropship asked themselves what comstar would do if they asked comstar to reinforce them instead if the other way around aftwr reciev8bg a transmission pleading for help in orbit over the planet: it went something like this: "What would comstar do if we were in their shoes?" Someone responded laughing and said "raise comminication rates??" Needless to say, they landed elsewhere while informing constar that they should push as they dropped right on top of them. Focht only begins to realize this after turkayyid, but comstar under Myndo Waterly is actually the Word of Blake in it's infancy. He immediately shoots her. Executing her and promoting her protoge ( who is not an extremist) into her position when she confirms his suspicions of having such an agenda of supremacy over the innersphere. Comstar originally planned their own crusade against the innersphere. The clans decided to try it first.
“If ComStar ever crosses us, we will crush them just as easily as every other freeborn.”
Words that will not age well. Lol
I think in all these character portraits so far, each character has spoken something so gobsmackingly, painfully & epically naïve or stupid that I just don't think the game ends all that well for them.
Between that and the "House Kurita's fascist regime" line, I want to watch somebody who doesn't know Battletech do a Let's Play of this game. I've never watched one before, but I think a newbie's reactions to some of the narrative reversals would be amusing.
@@claytonhollowell4488 If you know anything about Battletech lore, this entire storyline is basically setting you up to see the most egregious, telegraphed, painfully obvious and well deserved fall from greatness of all fucking time, and rooting for the people who actually deserve to survive it.
We're gonna be under CORDERA "TURTLE BAY HITLER" PEREZ for christ sake. If we get assigned to Beta Galaxy, get ready to shit a brick.
You are in beta galaxy. Already confirmed
@@rustyshackleford3053 Yeah, but nobody survives, and then it ends on the blade of a Katana.
no matter the atrocities we of the clans perform (honorably) to the Draconis Combine scum, just remember: They had it coming!
Honestly, the Clans invading might be exactly why Theodore Kurita's good influence suddenly just faded and Kurita went back to their old ways. Lol.
@@cannibalistictoast1 One guy could never fix a hellhole like Combine, only way to fix anything there is to burn it to the ground and salt the earth it was built on
@@milankostic2571 Glad to see other people have correct opinions on the Kuritans.
@@rustyshackleford3053 all I'm going to say is Victor had it right. To Slay the dragon, you have to bed the dragon.
Draconian combine civil war would have been far more funny.
@@milankostic2571 How 'Perez' of you.
Keep up the marketing PGI, we are all rooting for MechWarrior 5: Clans to succeed
Just hope its fun at launch and doesnt need mods to save it like mw5 did
@@RumblesBettrit will be. the have make Wingcommander-Mechwarrior. the most criric will be that it is to short.
@@patrickkaleja9581 did u enjoy mw5 at launch?? I thought it was pretty crap to be honest. But the modding community made it a really great game
@@RumblesBettr jupp, loved it. on begining it was so repeteiv, but with every Update and DLC its gotten bettee and better. i used a few Mods. but nothing to Break the Vanilla experiance to much. today MW5 Mercs is exzellent.
when you Start a new Campagne there is so much to do, Wher you can make Money get Loot ore experiance. it is awesome
@@patrickkaleja9581 personally i dont play the game without a long list of mods running. Several YAML mods and coyote missions are a must for me. Hope ur right and this is fun at launch. Def a wait and see game for me
Oh nice so clans DO have tats then. "initiate enhanced imaging"
I get the feeling Mia is a crazy person, and I'm down with that. Peak Smoke Jaguar.
She went to Inner Sphere to see their manager
Mia: "If ComStar ever crosses us, we will crush them just as easily as any other freeborn."
Me: *Raucous laughter* "Keep telling yourself that!"
Tex: "Get Focht!"
Though ask what happened to Waterly's operatives after Scorpion went south.
It does look like the writing will directly engage with the complexity of Clan propaganda - the fact that all the Successor States are pretty dirty (even the "good guy" states) but Nicholas Kerensky also did a real number in setting up the mythology and lore of Clan society.
@@bluedotdinosaur I hope we get a DLC campaign later following one of more creative Clans like Scorpions, Foxes or Ravens as they move away, try to survive and build their new nations from scratch
@@milankostic2571 Im hoping we get Tukayyid!
I'm hoping for timeline progressive DLCs like what we got in MW5Mercs, aka if the game ends on Luthien then we get Tukayyid, Bulldog, Serpent Huntress, etc or something along those lines, since storyline is linear.
Mechwarrior does have a vast lore.
Yea it's called BattleTech lol
This looks promising. I am glad Piranha Games is putting in more effort. Everything seen in the video is an improvement over Mercenaries. The soundtrack and the character cinematics.
the uniforms are cool but i i feel the mech designs are a bit dated, they should look more sleek and organic like the armor these pilots are wearing, and also more complex gameplay mechanics with heavy focus on single player. thank you. stay away from dei also.
@@cagneybillingsley2165ugh get out of here. Don't care about your bigotry. It's people like you keeping games stagnated.
@@cagneybillingsley2165 why do I get the impression that you've never played a battletech game....
@@Lord_Victis buncha snowflakes....
@@cagneybillingsley2165Ah yes, "stay away from DEI" in a battletech game??? The lore is filled with powerful people of all different races, sexualities and the such, and has been for 40 years, fuck off.
All the Smoke Jaguar characters be like:
👁️👄👁️
Genetically modified clones are really interesting
Got dat CRISPR stare
That shot at 2:12 would make such a cool wallpaper
Set back 2 weeks only gives me more time to collect a paycheck and keep my affairs in order so I can play this game all weekend long!
hell yeah bro
Pretty much the same boat here.
Mia's performance was FREAKING AMAZING! Holy crap! Well done!
"He's only a paper General"
"And for that, he fucking broke them."
I love how cold this Character is played, that gives the Star of those Warrior an very very dark and for me, an authentic touch. Liam is my Favoruite Character but Mia is for me the most unique and till now the best played Character.
All are great but Mia.... uuuh cold as Ice.
Thanks to the Designer and all of the Team for this try to give MW an epic Story. As an very old Fan who loves the TT and the books... from the Heart, thanks.
And sorry for my bad english.
getting a bit of mila jovovic's alice from her
This is badass as hell. So stoked for this game
I'M SO HYPED
I'm more convinced that the actors and actresses studying "the lore" was reading a quick download from Sarna or a very watered-down bit prepared by Pirhana. Liam's voice actor is the only one that seemed to know anything about the background, possibly even a player.
Huh. I guess Smoke Jaguars DO remember when they had a clan...
I will never forget huntress
@@christopherhutchens8077 Remember the mountain with the big stone kitty on it?
*beep*
*BOOM!*
@@therealbahamut ComStar has long forgot when they had a phone company
@@milankostic2571 Or the time they blacked out the entire Federated Suns and got outmaneuvered by a FAX MACHINE.
@@therealbahamut lol forgot about this amusing tidbit.
it looks good but the faces could use a bit more polish between the flow going from eyes to jawline. they're still a little uncanny "valley-esque" and the teeth are similar to the ones from sonic that they didnt go with not bad, but not quite there. otherwise it sounds good and looks good. the dialogue seems appropriate to the hubris and pride of the clan attitude for the general vernacular. mw5 mercs was better than people give it credit for as far as staying true to how the mw2 mercs played, felt and engaged the player. i have hope for this project to be a good counterpoint to the IS. the best part is as a counterpoint mw5 title parallel to the mw2 3050 combat is that it doesnt follow jade falcon, clan wolf or ghost bear. it's smoke jaguar, so it is the history that leads up to mech3 and the decimation of strana mechty. i hope the devs took that into consideration.
I wonder how in depth sibko bonding will be explored lol
Smexy time
Sheppard level ? 😂
By now I get the feeling the only room the character interact in is the hangar. :-D
October is a month I look forward to hockey being back... this year it is for some stompy robots, I hope they release expansions for other clans as well
sure thing, and there eill maybe a UE 5 DLC for Mercs.
If there are enough sales of MW5: Clans then I think the other clans will come out as DLC. That's my hope anyway.
Well Mia its nice to meet you, see you in Tukkayid my dear.
and Luthien.... i have that gutfeeling The Status weve become in the Dragonsgambit will bring us on both sides of that battle.
I'm betting the campaign dies on Wolcott, if anything.
@@jeremysaklad6703 maybe, it is possibel that the story lead us away to a personal agenda, maybe hunted and joinig the Wolfdragoons
Oh, man. The real joy of any dedicated Battletech fan is going to be gradually watching these poor little lambs get worn down and destroyed by the pressure of trying to keep to their stupid ideals in the Inner Sphere. Mia looks like a ripe target for getting that shit shut down hard. Welcome to the inner sphere, LARPERS!
I feel like a circle of equals while one is wearing an armored cooling suit and the other is in a jumpsuit isn't very equal.
In the clans it is. Mia is younger and therefore considered the higher bid.
I think PGI would overjump themselves if they implement people changing clothes' scenes. I guess in this game everyone will be wearing same suit all the time. Maybe one day they develop their mocap skills (or whatever it is) and make cutscenes even more alive, cinematic, where people wearing different cloth, haircut, changing appearance in general
Eh, for a formal trial of grievance there's actually a mandatory cool down between challenge and the circle of equals. Plus negotiating unaugmented (hand to hand) vs augmented (in mechs, battle armour or aerospace fighters). In other words plenty of time to change.
@@phyzzip that did not look formal
@@_sore_thumb_ I dont think there is bidding in singular combat. It's meant to reduce the number of people/equipment lost and in a trial of grievance like this you're already as small as you can get.
Another banger 🤙🤙 beyond stoked for next month!!!
Mia is a badass! Thanks!
I am eagerly awaiting this game and really rooting for PGI on this one. I love that they are embracing the clanner lore....but I can't be the only one who is freaked out by these character models right? I get some super creepy uncanny valley vibes from all of their faces. Especially Mia's haha
I've been wondering why they look so bad myself.
@@secondimpact7836 Her hair looks really bad, especially for a military unit and from a practicality standpoint. In hand-to-hand combat, it could easily obscure her vision.
Bad character design, guys.
@@kdbx2sec A glorious mechwarrior engaging in barbaric fisticuffs for serious stakes would be most dezrega.
It's like they couldn't figure out how to model or texture teeth so they just made her lips cover them no matter the speech
Gee that's a lot of build up to defending war criminals. Task Force Serpent couldn't come soon enough. (Excited for the game!)
0:53 guy on the right " Initiate enhanced imaging "
Glad voice acting is a bigger focus this time around. MW5 had some uh, questionable performance at times.
Not sure it was the performances, more that the script was just awful.
I agree. MW5 felt like a reboot and I prefer Movie Cinematics rather than In-game.
Fahad will break open a case of timbiqui dark
@@nurgle333 I just started a brand new campaign for the bazillionth time, and I "still" want to know where I can get my hands on a case (in real life). Sound like a missed opportunity for someone to brew/market a new product. LOL
Damn, this chick looks insanely strong in battle
Homegirl, just don't get killed and waste those carefully engineered genes. XD
we will be a part of the 30% surviers
I can’t wait till this hits gamepass. I loved so much about mech warrior 5 but it lacked a campaign I could really get invested in. I tend to only get into games with a sweeping story with character development. So this is precisely what I wished mech warrior 5 was
Wonder if she makes it to 20th may 3052, in which case she'll have to eat those words😂
no she won't
Man this game gonna be goooood.
What would be nice next is an open campaign of the Clan Invasion, starting with a Trial of Position in a Crusader Clan.
Edit - surprised to see the comparisons of Mia to Natasha Kerensky haven’t begun.
Starting at 2:07 Mia had her suit on and her opponent did not. So I would question the circle of equals as she had armor and her opponent did not.
Mia is younger and of a lower rank, balancing the bid.
PGI need to thin their paints
I really hope PGI started each of these character primers given to the VAs at the beginning with "okay, so you are 100% the bad guys. We need you to really get that in. You are cruel, uncompromising, eugenicists who think everyone opposing you is less than human."
I don't think they did, but we can only hope.
Why would they do that? These characters don't think they are the bad guys. I don't think they are the bad guys either lol
"If Comstar ever crosses us"
Oh you guy will be very "crosses" indeed. Turned out, if you guys got ask nicely enough you'll just let someone "crosses" you.
So do mental note, keep a war crime tally of each of them (Perez will be the undisputed champion for sure though
well congratz .. you got me cursing at my monitor cause of "that"
Very caring but fierce and determined. Nice.
That chin and jaw💀
Mia is loyal? Maybe....but to whom? I think Mia has more of a sense of right and wrong than loyalty to The Clans. We will see.
Nice to see the Smoke Jaguars make an appearance
Battle of Tukayyid proved her wrong about Comstar.
Mia gives off real little sister vibes. I wonder why? 🤫
I mean the entire main cast are siblings ( I'm saying this assuming you don't know much about battletech lore, if you do, apologies on the pointless explanation) clan Trueborn warriors are made in artificial wombs using DNA from previous exceptional warriors, raised in a Sibco, and those who survive (the vast majority die or fail out from tests) go on to become proper MechWarriors, thus your entire star are all siblings
They are, the entire main cast are siblings
The charakter that is comming into view around 0:54, is he haveing an enhanced imagine implant?
Sure looks like it.
Mia is perfect as a Smoke Jaguar. That is a Crusader
Mechwarrior, FrontMission, Gundam RPG, Is THE BEST robot game
enjoyed the first frontmission on snes a whole lot .. but gundam ... just isn't for me
There's something off about her model. Maybe it's that her lips look too full?
A lot of the gamers are going to think Mia is excellent. I have a hunch.
Someone is picking a fight with space AT&T, you dont do that in the early days
anyone got any side corn?
Thing is, ComStar is much more than just Space AT&T. They control the international trade currency in the Inner Sphere, faster-than-light interstellar communications, and the Mercenary Review Board.
ComStar is a organization you really don’t want to mess with. Lol
absolutely cannot wait for this game
Kinda getting tired of all of the Marketing myself.
I just want to play the game. I don't need a Cover Page for each of the characters.
Here is what I need in the game (Not in any specific order):
1. Good Game Play
2. Lots of Mechs and Weapons to choose from
3. Good Story
4. Good Graphics
5. Time between missions to actually repair and build mechs and not be forced to play before I am ready.
6. PLEASE take out the stupid camera recoil that moves only the camera instead of the actual guns. I get incredibly motion sick when using ballistics that have recoil in MW5 Mercs.
7. MOST IMPORTANTLY!!!!! Replayability. If the game feels like it is only good enough for 1 or maybe 2 playthroughs I feel like I will have wasted my money. That is why MW5 Mercs was so great, I wasn't always forced down the same hallway so to speak. And no, before anyone responds with "then just go play Mercs". I don't want to. I am tired of it. I've played through it dozens of times.
Man when are we going to get to hear the Clanner Speak? I want to hear some Batchals, Affs, and Negs in this game.
We already have, it's been sprinkled throughout all of the trailers, some gameplay clips have showed people saying Quiaff, I think calling someone a Surat, and the such
"She knows what she's doing."
Pull the other one!
She's a clanner, and a Smoke Jaguar at that! The Wolves didn't fully know what they were getting into, and being rational/adaptable was their best plot armor in the invasion. This dutiful chimney kitten has been raised by the fundamentally flawed book. She is going to be SO out of her depth.
No Aff, Quiaff in the dialogue? 😂
Oh, it is there, just not in this specific featurette.
Yes, actually. Watch some of the other clips. They mind clan dialects. Note the total lack of contractions, except where spoken dialect actually becomes a point of contrition between characters. One actually gets chewed out for how he talks.
just hope the AI is actually made for mechworior this time...
Since you aren't hiring pilots, I hope from the get go they have the best AI possible
@@Galaxy613 they should be, after all they are clanners!
Those you don't know; "Mia is such a waifu." Those who know; "No, no she is not." "But I can fix her." "This ain't about fixing."
this looks dope, hope its not an epic exclusive again
The performance is well done,
but those animations are horrendous.
…I can fix her.
They need to work on the facial modeling of her character...the lips look strange. Otherwise I am amped.
Seems like her face doesnt move much compared to everyone elses. Makes her voice feel off for her expression
And when Mia Challenged That other lady to a circle of equals I didn’t expect it to be Hand to Hand Combat. I thought it was a Mech one. Dang
Hand to hand is typical for informal Trials.
@@Significantpower k
@@Significantpowerwell I hope we’ll be able to know the last Clan Mechwarrior on your team soon
Love these!
Looks very promising.
Initial release date: October 17, 2024.
Like clans more than being a company just earning more money to buy more mechs, like a company sim.
Having a story and all that.
I know they are all genetically enhanced, but why the hell did they use the same base face model for every character and just fractionally alter it? Is it a deliberate design choice or am I losing my mind?
Because Clan Trueborns are created in batches, almost always from the same two donors (i.e. Bloodnamed warriors from that Clan). And with limited opportunity to acquire genetic sources from other Clans or outsiders, only one I know of is the Inner Sphere Phelan Kell being adopted into Clan Wolf and winning a Bloodname, there are going to look similar to each other more often than not.
@@kevinhuening5274 Thanks dude, I kinda gathered that but I wasn't 100% sure and that explains it. I know they are enhanced, but I didn't know it was in "Batches" and that explains the similarity between them perfectly.
@@distantblaze561 Enhanced isn't quite the word I would use. Its more like takeing genes from the best warriors and cross them by chance. Thats why the performance of each warrior can be quite different and why they create them in batches. Haveing a higher properbility of getting someone above average.
A lot of each batch dosn't even become warriors.
Still thanks to carefull choosing on who to mix the average clan warrior is superior to normal humans. Higher reflexes, stamina, etc. Still an elite human with tallents or just a hell lot of experiance can go 1:1 with a Clan warrior. Exceptions on both sides exists.
Where they realy startet tinkering is with Elementals and Space Fighter pilots.
These guys are all fraternal twins grown in artificial wombs from the same two "parent" donors.
we get a cat fight probably over a "madcat" lmfao
she kinda looks like the star wars outlaws girl
Well, tomarrow is the day we all should have been able to jump into this game, but now we gotta wait till the 17th cause someone saw a decal that wasnt in the right place. sucks.
ONE MONTH! JUST ONE MONTH LEFT!
Love these trailers
I'd nominate this game as goty if the final mission is your star fighting on tukayyid
God it bugs the hell out of me that they use modern terms like "right side of history" and stuff like that takes me out of the story that takes play 1,000 years from now. I'm hoping this is good, but I'm guarded.
That might be an underlying theme for this game, to be honest. Everyone in a war thinks they're on the "right side of history." The Jags did, and look how they ended up.
That's a pretty common trope throughout all of the novels, not too surprising to see it show up in the games
Damn, I wish I could do an american accent like this actress can. I mean, I know she's a professional, but still. Just can't seem to get it right. It either comes out half-baked or it becomes some kind of weird backwoods Deep South thing.
I so hope we get to end on tukyid after that opening line
They should have made Mia look like Alea, who is a fox.
Really gets the hype flowing, quaiff?
Six seconds in and I'm laughing so hard. May the Blessed Blake have mercy upon your faux Vatborn soul so you may learn the folly of your Heretic ways.
I love that opening sentence how wrong it turned out to be...... what you get for underestimating your enemy....
Сладенькие больно, сомнительно что так будут выглядеть те кто с детства сражается...
Who amongst us has never once wanted to fistfight their boss?
Even in the game, it is impossible to defeat the Syndicate in the battle for Lucien. What's the point, why play if it's impossible to win the battle for Lucien, no matter what you do!!! Zero freedom of action. Bullshit. Rave.
Her upper lip animations look a little odd and stiff like she's got facial paralysis, Devs should see if that's bugged out.
Something about these characters seems really artificial. And I'm not just talking about chins and necks clipping through their clothes. Their flesh seems really plastic. Yes, I am aware that battletech has that sort of technology. No, people don't all look like they've had body parts reconstructed with myomer.
She looks like Beans from Rango.
wish they would do a recreation of the Jade Phoenix trilogy or blood of Kerensky trilogy if they were going to do the Clans. I'm sure they don't want to give Stackpole or Thurston any royalties though.
What I would do for a Aiden Pryde campaign dlc
the cutscenes have so much perfect AI hair its distracting af, character trope is par for the course
Oct 17th?! Was the 3rd for a while. Grr. Must have been pushed back because of Starfield's DLC. Or that was the Epic preorder date.
На каком Unreal Engine будет игра? На 4ом или на 5ом? Есть ли смысл мучить 4ку когда у вас есть шанс сделать отличную игру на современном 5ом?
"she might do things that may have players screaming at their computers or gamingconsoles" ... why? will she like lag my machine ... like on closeups?
