Why do the protagonists of Mechwarrior Cinematics always forget they have an ejection system?
Some mechs had ejection seats as optional and those systems can be expensive/ hard to get at times also a glancing head shot could seal the cockpit also a full on head shot would kill the pilot out right .... or the poor sod had the disease called "red shirtitus" or less common "4 days till retirementotus" which are both fatal 100% of the time.
Sometimes it's a more pleasant fate to die in the cockpit.
The hunchback punched out.
Its the late succession War Era
Mechs are VERY hard to replace, to the point that in some places its almost MadMax, corbeling incompatible mechs together just to have one. Due to their expense and family history, dying in your mech is better than facing the shame of losing a irreplaceable piece of equipment.
Or as a more condensed version: it does not look as cool
The ejection systems are notorious for not working correctly or even at all in many instances. And there’s no guarantee the enemy isn’t up for a bit of “skeet” shooting.
The quality is much better than the old one. The set up is somehow even dumber. Like really, "Did you see all those dropships landing over there? Let's go that way for a few C-bills"
Makes the intro to MechWarrior 4 look like a Shakespearean play.
PGI lacks creative talent. the only good thing about them is they got a good battlemech illustrator/designer.
@@sifrimh They really don't understand drama, or dialogue. "Big thing go boom" really describes the plot of all their various promo videos through the years.
Yeah yeah... Alway bitching on MW cinematics as alway since I have memory... Just wait a decade and let's see if that holds.
4:14 Victor's left arm is gone. Couple of seconds later, arm's back.
Attention to detail does matter.
PGI classic details
Yes attention to detail is important and if you had paid attention you would have seen the Victor's left arm wasn't destroyed, it only took damage to it
This could suggest this wasn't an animation, but a recorded gameplay
@@celticlad3251 The arm is literally not there, it's been completely destroyed. Then in the next shot it's reattached.
the only problem with this trailer... is that we basically fills in the shoe of that idiotic son who thought chasing C-Bills inside a city that just got invaded by multiple dropships worth of enemies is a good idea right?
I am not sure I want to be that guy... who just got his own dad killed.
That idiotic son is only in your head, my budget is 1,4 billion C-Bills.
Haha spot on Iono! I was hoping for some form of character creation, voice, gender or so.
Instead we just got this guy, no offense to the voice actor though!
@@Daemonettee totally agreed. It would've been better with more player customizaton of the commander, like the HBS Battletech game. Hopefully modders can help out
Would you rather still be that guy who got his mech arm blown off by a vtol
Tbh, still better than the original story
"family business" is pretty much a tradition now.
I kinda prefer the first opening. I'd rather be the green young son who's dad got killed in his training exercise than the idiot that caused his dad's death by being greedy.
Quite a step from the regular "I have money" merc intro in Mechwarrior
What do you mean by the first opening?
@@worldoftancraft when the game was released. This game is older
@@worldoftancraft the intro got reworked some time ago. it used to be different.
I would of sworn Victors had jump jets... would of fixed that whole being stuck behind a bit of trash pretty easily
Depends on the variant .... Most don't have jump jets. Some pilots get rid of them to be able to put in more weapons, armor, heat sinks or other mods into the mech. Now the mech in the vid could have had jump jets but the battle damage could have made them inoperable. Also using jump jets in battle make you a very inviting target especially when fighting with multiple bogeys single handed
@@celticlad3251 look at the apologist.
@@celticlad3251 Unless Black Inferno put them back on when they had it, I know for a fact that Victor had jump jets.
Thousand times better? Are you effin kidding me? JJ capable victor stopped by some rubble? Victor having it's arm blown off and then having it magically reattached in the next frame?
"Look at the bright side kid, you get to keep all the money."
I’m willing to bet that’s where they took inspiration from. Unfortunately, the quality doesn’t compare, even with better graphics.
@@mq5731 at this point, I don't know if is nostalgia or legit criticism... This kind of appreciations have always been on mechwarrior trailers from the very beginning... Except for the 1, 2 and 3... Because TH-cam didn't exist back then.
That... was really sub par. I can only imagine what the original intro was.
Put your glasses on grandpa
Lets just say that it was so bad that this one actually got me excited.
Well that was one amazing third graders animation project.
I hope they cut the tutorial too.
You don't have to imagine: th-cam.com/video/4atHKhJyfHI/w-d-xo.html
XD Most is tutorial so skip to the 17 minute mark for the portion the update is based on...
Very shake weighty
"Look on the bright side,kid. You get to keep all the money."
Now, this Opening is a lot better!
I played it for a few hrs it feels like they made the game easier and the progression goes faster
As someone who has played pre steam launch and post, it feels the a bit easier but at the same time it's harder, it doesn't have the same problems the launch did
@@unpotatoedsalmon nor does it have the good mods that it killed.
I like how they used the hype of a Tex Talks Battletech launch reinvigorating interest in the Battletech universe to launch their trailer.
I don't think that was intentional, just a happy coincidence
id guess it was intentional, and theyd be stupid not to use such an opportunity, in all seriousness they can need any attn they can get after burning many of the long time loyal fans of the franchise by screwing them over with that EPIC bs. if its promised on steam, then thats what shozld have happened. and seeing how many sales they lost from ppl that simple dont touch EPIC, they prob lost money even with the bonus they got for the exclusivity deal
@@naomy1701 Tex initially planned to release it on Tukkayiid day the 20th, they always planed to release mw5 on the 27th
Wow they had the chance to redo it and this is the mess we get? ya don't feel bad for refunding the first time
Game seems to be improved in all aspects, but friendly and enemy AIs are still basic at best. A pity that they left off infantry at the last moment. It's the usual PGI doing PGI. Let's see how the mods will improve this game.
typical bait and switch tactic of PGI.
@@sifrimh true, but honestly if they are going to release infantry as a mod for PC, it'good for me.
Eh, I don't know. I feel like PGI needs to stick to working on the multplayer stuff and lets HBS handle any singleplayer Battletech/Mechwarrior games from now on, since HBS can obviously handle making a game about giant robots without it being cheesy... MW5 just kinda felt like PGI was tripping over itself trying to appeal to the single player audience.
Edit: Coming back to this game after the new DLCs and various changes that were made, and I can tell you it's a hell of a better game than it was when it first came out. Having a pretty great time with it! Plus the modding community really makes some great stuff. I highly recommend WAR FX.
HBS isn't making any more Battletech games. They made the pretty clear looooong ago.
@@deepakmelrick2998 Ah, I didn't know that. Shame, they did such a great job with Battletech.
@@deepakmelrick2998 They aren't? Thought they were just working on another project and it wasn't confirmed if they'll do a sequel?
@@timebrain3188 Nope. Once they got acquired by Paradox, they decided to move away from Battletech. There was an announcement following the last update to Battletech that confirmed this. Hopefully they will rethink this.
Agreed. HBS understands plot, character, and ATMOSPHERE way better than PGI ever will.
Much better, i approve of this message.
Still think the Mechwarrior 2 into has more character than this. Hope the games good.
This one is waaaay better than the original intro. The original was soo bad i don't want to even remember that exist
Still waiting on discount codes for having to buy it twice damnit. Mayne I'll wait it out until goes on mega sale.
Buy it twice?
@@TheMadwizz - It's most likely that he already brought it from the Epic Games store & wants to buy it from Steam.
@@TheMadwizz when MW5 went on pre-order two years ago, it was promised to be released on Steam. This did not happen when PGI took the EPIC elusive deal. PGI did offer refunds for those who didn't want the Epic version, but I missed that window, so I own it on Epic Games. My pre-order content is tied to an Epic games account I never really wanted to begin with. This for me is a one off title. I have no other Epic games installed nor do I intend too. At this point MW5 hasn't been installed for months now.
There was a great deal of salt, rage and venom between customers and PGI. I think the fanfare of the Steam release is picking at a few scabs and that rage is starting to boil again. I know I'm not alone in this.
PGI justified the year long elusive deal by explaining how the bonus they got from Epic for exclusivity helped with putting the finishing touches on the game and stabilized the company. I don't fault them for that. Business is business, but when you burn a portion of an already small, niche but loyal fan base..... some of us find it hard to let it go.
@@roberth.4009 thats one of the issues people have with EPIC (and why steam had put in the new clause about "if you promise its on steam,its on steam" because Epic speficially goes for companies that advertise them selfs as primarily steam. Like ya the money is nice,and lord knows PGI needed it after the 8 years of decline...but its still anti-consumer practices with the way Epic does it.
4:38 "no!" *ding*
I mean a Victor standing that long to a King Crab is something else.
Yes THIS is what we wanted all along!! I guess they took a look back at the older mechwarrior cinematics and took a lesson from that.
It’s better than MWOs origional trailer, but still nowhere near as good as Mechwarrior 2 or 3s
speak for yourself. this intro is terrible. it's way too dark and cluttered, you can't even see what's going on at times. the whole plot is stupid, the voice acting cringy af. "This is a ghost town" - yeah it's a video game, let's have the characters say some cool shit like in cod... the Victor is missing an arm at 4:14, seconds later he has it back... even the mechwarrior 5 trailer from 2010 was better.
@@NinjaContravaniaManX Bruh the Mechwarrior 5 trailer from 2010 was awesome. I'm just saying it was better than this
th-cam.com/video/ea3spOtjLmI/w-d-xo.html
Saying this trailer was better than the MWO original launch trailer is like saying a puddle of dog pee is better than dog shit.
Farrrkkk, this looks REALLY good.
Why did they send two mechs to gather salvage crates when only one of the mechs has a single hand?
Neg, they both have one hand so if they cooperated, that is like one mech with 2 hands! 🤣
That was great!...at least I think it was, I couldn't see most of it because it was too dark.
So we left behind, not only Dad but a Rifleman Pilot and a Phoenix Hawk Pilot? Wooooooooooooow. And we never mention them once.
Look on the bright side kid, your not the only one that's wanting some pay back.
Now we are talking!
Feels better than the original. But those ACs definitely need more BOOM.
Certainly better than the old intro but the premise is moronic
Does the game still have this absurd enemy spawn system? When enemies are spawned right next to you? (And btw unlimited enemies)
No😊
A trailer of famous last words.
Watch all the MechWarrior intros. They seem to do the same thing. Rush to get back. Kill off one of the stragglers. Dash off planet. Your dad dies in MW3, MW 5/MW5Mercs. Your partner Dies in MW3mercs. Cuz. Look at it this way kid. You get to keep all the money.
what a sh...y father he keeps dyeing in these intros 😂😂
Wow. We have a first name now. Only been a year and a half.
KInda dark... as in I can't see whats going on.
No melee... Dam
What the fuck do you mean the Victor pilot’s cut off. He has JUMP JETS. He can hop that fucking rubble pile and leave with the Centurion.
The dropship (massive firepower) could have easily fried that king crab.
2x PPC, 3x LRM20, 7x MedLas, 5x LargeLas...better hope you alpha it though because twin AC20s could bring a Leopard down.
@@T0tenkampf Really? You're gonna need some missiles to back that up most likely, dropship hulls are tough.
@@KillerOrca i don't know how MW5 scales armor, but from TT stats a Leopard class has less armor than a KGC mech and no internal structure.
@@KillerOrca not if you hit the engine :)
@@KillerOrca But Aerospace rules are different from BT, aircraft and dropships have a lot of weak points that don't need an armour penetration to destroy, just a critical to hit roll.
Eh it's really dark, and the mech animation are jittery.
Well they are basically walking tanks not Japanese anime mecha. Battlemechs usually move in a more mechanical jitter rather than fluid human movement like in gundam.
@@danney777 According to BT lore, they are very human like.
@@cobra1414 in appearance. maybe a few exceptions like the Phoenix Hawk (which was originally a harmony gold macross design, hence the japanese anime) and mechs like the spider. Which Lore because there are a ton of non canon games, books, and merch.
@@cobra1414 I mean yes you can maneuver the like rolls and what not but a king crab is 100 tons and have never seen in canon material a heavy or assault mech move acrobatically even with jump jets.
I mean, you are right in that BTech mechs are nothing like Japanese anime mecha with their crazy space-magic tech, but they are still not janky 21st century robots either. Having rewatched the video just now, I have NEVER seen battlemechs have such an abrupt Up-and-Down to their walking animation, in any other BTech videogame.
The other source of jerky movements may just be because they recorded the video with actual players. Some of those movements are like a player moved their mouse rather than being done in an animation software.
Why does Optimus Prime always have to die?
I can't figure out what mech Nik has, is it a Victor or a Charger?
Victor. Gun on the hand. Chargers are nothing but light lasers at this point in time.
Whoa, you xed that terrible story of the PC version? Jealous!
Being a bill collector never was easy
That is why you put JJs on your Victor.
naw, you just skill hill climb and speed burst. then you just wall walk your way along the obstacles.
They did a stackpole
would be better if they had humans talking from inside the mechs to make it more immersive. this feels dry , just like the last one.
(big mech talks to other bigger mech)"... meh.
wish the game would look anything like that, or play anything like that... and yes, Commander is definitly right, a Centi with left arm missing ( else barely scratched) is in no condition to fight... >_
The Centurion that was in need of repair originally had lost its left arm, a leg, and all it's armor. That king crab would have large lasered him and he would die.
Its a cool intro, but i still love the mech commander 1 intro.
Why do the protagonists of Mechwarrior cinematics always close distances with short ranged enemies and then forget they have an ejection system ?
Been playing this today, kinda feels like the original release was a beta or this is a re-release lol. Graphics and sound are WAY more polished (almost looks like a different engine), you can find upgrades for your mechs systems to use in the mech labs as well and not to mention they fixed the horrid spawning system. They should have just waited a year and given us this instead and avoided a lot of the bad opinions it got originally as it looks and feels like a much better game, what were they thinking?
They needed to release it and make some money or they were never going to be able to finish it. Piranha is the actual definition of a (very) small indie company at the time of making MWO and MW5 (they were only very recently purchased by a larger company).
They needed the c-bills
Yeah,I think that's a better intro
👍
quality
I tried playing this on PS, totally sucked. Is it worth the money for PC? Does it need a joystick?
Stackpoled
So they retconned the original opening???
Yep
by the looks of it, this one's in for a retcon as well.
This feels like a fan made trailer, not the up to the quality I expect out of Mechwarrior games. The only other Battletech franchise game that had an in game rendered trailer was Mech4Mercs, but that gets a pass because it’s a he beat game in the series, and it was a stand-alone expansion on top of Mech4 Vengeance which had a cgi/live action intro/trailer
This update is already awesome, just cause this
Basically the story for the EXPANSION trailer is... the starting story of the base game?
>.
ok.. just out of curiosity... WHAT THE F is that mech @4:00 on the low-right screen? That's not a P.Hawk, is it?
You bet your ass it is
@@tplambert I've never been a fan of the P.Hawk... Personally. ::shruggs::.. It just doesn't do it for me, I guess. Not going to argue that there are a great deal of people out there with an unhealthy (opinion) fascination of the mech. Me? I just don't understand that, i guess. :) --- but thanks for verifying it. (B.t.w, what is it with the fascination for that mech? I'm curious.)
@@timothymccormick5208 I am not a fan of the mech either. I can’t comment on the obsession with it. I think maybe people find it looks cool I guess. My favourite mech overall is Zeus. I also like Mongoose (from. MW2 mercs), Dragon and the Crab.
@@tplambert I hate the Zeus with it's lack-luster weapon loadout.. but aesthetically, it's QUITE SEXY!... (which is why it's one of my more favorites, same with the Victor 9B.)
@@timothymccormick5208 in the battletech game it’s indeed difficult to work with, but it’s got good speed for an assault, can take a pounding and can harass big ‘painful’ mechs from a distance. It’s never a mech to go toe to toe, but to pick from a safer distance. I think people get confused where to place it because it’s neither a full on lrm boat, or a direct combat tank. Slotted in between though it performs its role admirably. If you are Willy waving a victor right in front of the enemy, the Zeus can happily pick away with a large laser and ac5. That damage over time is pretty alright albeit not devastating.
Indeed , btw quite disappointing that Xbox release doesn't have a HOTAS support ( back to PC it is then)
Is HOTAS supported on other titles on Xbox?
I really like how it was so dark you could barely see anything. That is when you know the animators are crap.
Where is the Infantry?
Lies. That they were.
This is defiantly more of an epic send off and battle than what we had originally before the update, big approve!
ill give it a few points for being in engine, but the animations and effects just make it pretty lackluster to me. Maybe my bar is to high
Honestly, this trailer is a fuckton better. Like it actually is setup well enough that I got a bit invested in the Drama. But I am also pissed off they made the MC be a dum dum "hurr durr Daddy letsa gosa take moneyz from burning city Daddy, hurr durr". Outside of that, this makes me hopefull.
well, Rhianna has better voice acting in this one, that's for sure.
Well this is better than before but better than before is not hard. Why do I get the feeling that the attackers have a weight limit?
And seriously a centurion losing the left arm has to run from a spider?
When seeing the opposition the dad could have recalled his fleeing son so they could take them on 2 vs 3 with not so bad odds actually.
Why not show the MASSIVE invasion force? Why not have other mechs from the unit fight and die to warrant the hasty escape? Even com chatter would have been nice like „this is charlie company, we are being overrun at xyz!“
The Igor would have made more sense to run from in the release dates cutscenes, as it carries 2 ac10s.
Now if only they can fix that shaky HUD issues when you are being jammed. That made me so dizzy I had to uninstall the game.
There is a fix for that its called destroy the jamming device
Jake....
Something about the style of these mechs is off and has me missing mechwarrior 4 dearly.
just bought it like 2 hours ago , now i cant even start the game cuz it gives me LowLevelFatalError and somehow all the Files are swapped around in the Game's Directory :D:D now i gotta wait another 4hour to download the game (: yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay......
disable your mods
@@celestialserpent6078 never played with mods , like I said after i bought and installed the patch the whole. Files where ffked up:D worked fine after a clean full install ,epic games is a good launcher 🤣🤣
the sorry is just as horrible as before ... goes in the city that is being invaded, gets his dad killed and runs from a light
If the promo video looks like sheet, imagine the whole game (((
Most shit games have promo videos to hide their shame
Wow! This was not even remotely as good as it should have been.Both the old Mercs made me a little invested in the characters.This just seems like a bad tabletop GM's quick way to start an adventure.It's been done too damn much in this franchise but at least it was usually done well.Maybe the stompy robot part will be good.Gonna see what Tex thinks :-)
Просто охуенно )))
This intro has more story than the actual game, unfortunately
PGI needs a new script writer and a director who understands the game. This trailer is pretty bad.
Mechwarrior 5 is one of those few games where cinematics match the real gameplay
Great intro, should've used more of the older trailer themes.
Why spend money on this that could be used to make the game better.
This game is beautiful but the enemy and friendly AI is really poor. That and the teleporting heavy tanks that magically appear in your flanks ruin this game for me to the point that I won't buy it and I'm a grog from Battledroids times. Watching this just pisses me off that there is no MWO5 planned so i can play within a company of friends vs. Real opponents. I'd buy the game and even my ridiculous number of mech packs to see that, though some kind of allowance would be cool. YOU SEE THAT PGI, WILL BUY MECHPAKS.
As far as taking risks goes... this one was really stupid.
look like combo of MW3 + MW4 + MW2 intro
only MW3 intro vs this is a Hollywood blockbuster vs Bollywood worst.
All these new graphics and it still isn't as compelling as the MW4:Vengeance intro.
I know everyone is jizzing their pants with this new cinematic but the idiocy of seasoned veterans getting into a sieged zone for no good reason is beyond words. The old intro was rough but it set the characters and motivations much better and in a more organic way.
OK they ripped off the mechwarrior 2 mercs intro, but if your going to rip off one of the greats might as well be thst one
"The Commander's" voice acting is not good. And why do commanders in Mechwarrior games never eject?
Because how else will you get control of the company
Pros: graphic, cons: copy paste revenge story from mw4 , lackluster terrain, dumb as door nail AI, near zero consistency in damage, and well a lot of everything else. wait till it drop to 15$ then buy, even if that, better buy mw4 mercenaries , load up mods and enjoy.
Zero consistent or are you just bad at aiming?
@@burnttoast.2017 You damage mech leg, you turn away, he miraculously heals. That what i ment by consistency in damage, Clearer?
@@brankolazovic5385 This isn't gameplay
@@brankolazovic5385 can't say it isn't shitty though
@@brankolazovic5385 oh, yeah. Vanilla mw5 sucks so much I forgot about that mechanic
looks clunkier than mechwarrior 3..
Exactly my thoughts. This is the MW5 they should have released in 2019.
Mechwarrior Living Legends. That's what we want. Die hard fans want that. ROC Battletech fans is your ONLY democratic. You're not going to pull in new fans with this b.s.
*demographic. you're not wrong, it's just a wrong word.
I like how they sold out and still couldn't make it any better despite getting an extra year of time and money
MW3 had better cinematics
This is terrible... sad thing to see when hopes were so high...
Holy crap. This is actually good.
by 90s Hollywood standards or today's RoP standards?
