@@Dazzxp oh come on, it's not UE4 fault that mw5 had outdated graphics and awful AA and, looking how troublesome UE5 was for other developers, i would not raise my expectations from the team, who cant animate destruction of objects (0:43) for 4 years. If they expect engine will draw it for them, i'd recommend Piranhas to wait for UE12.
Ngl, the voice acting sounds surprisingly natural compared to clanners in previous games. Nobody imagines themselves as the villain in their own story after all.
@@Overonator As junior Mechwarriors they won't be any bigger than a normal human and they won't have their face tattoos yet. The plain pale grey uniforms are on point for Smoke Jaguars and the guy at the end looks like he's made from the genestock of the scarred guy. They look pretty Clan-ish to me. Hopefully as the game goes on they'll start getting those Smoke Jaguar tattoos.
I am going to admit, that this trailer has gotten me a little excited, especially loving how much more cinematic the gameplay is looking, as well as the cutscenes.
I like the fact that you can see the shared genetic heritage in the faces of the mechwarriors - they really look like they're from the same sibko. There's something about their chins.
@@VelantegHey, the clans may be self-righteous, bloodthirsty warriors, but they’re not prejudiced like those Inner Sphere barbarians… okay, they’re prejudiced against freeborn people, but that’s beside the point. Lol
@@Velanteg But don't forget the stock was pretty diverse to begin with, and genes have been manipulated directly for several generations by this point. Within the limited Smoke Jaguar gene pool, I wouldn't be surprised if the Osis legacies were involved here. In fact, I'm willing to bet this becomes a plot point.
Doesnt really look like a step up. Still the stupid UI, totally dont get why the didnt chose the MWO from day one. I also see even less cockpit space, totally lame Arcadism in my book
Biggest issues I had with MW5...MWM5.... MW:M5?.. Was the crap AI and map design. What I wanted was to drop on a map and progress through it to achieve some goal. You know, expecting enemies to be stationed and positioned in some logical and sensible way. Instead we just got randomly spawning AI that was at best randomly littered near randomly placed objectives on generic maps. At launch they would quite literally spawn out of sight maybe a few hundred meters away, it was quite literally dog shit. The AI had no strategy, not even simple shit like "send the tanks in a wave while the mechs support from max firing range". It basically felt like a shitty arena shooter.
@@Potatotron10000 This is the main reason NOT to buy. Mercs is incredibly disapointing entirely because every battle is identical. The mechs you are against require no strategy, no thought no plan and no skills.
Honestly really excited about this. I feel Modern Mechwarrior got the mech feel down perfectly, but were lacking in the story department. So this really feels like a step in the right direction. It feels like theyre putting a lot of effort into doing justice to the source material too. This brief bit of dialogue felt very true to the Clans. And theres some small things too, take note the Clanners never used contractions in this (EG: I am not one of them. Instead of I'm not one of them). Its small, but this tells me theyre working hard on this!
Glad to see finally there is actual dialogues between pilots in every mission. MW5 mercenaries have been pretty much dead air to me. Looking good as a step up from Mercs.
This is I think the only game I’ve seen where the clanners are depicted as I imagined them from the sourcebooks. I keep watching different trailers and thinking ‘damn, that’s *perfect*’. They’ve got the fanaticism, the competence, the humorless drive, the lingo, the lack of contractions. You read the sourcebooks and the clanners are fatally flawed in their thinking and arrogance but they’re also genuinely scary. I played the tabletop game when the clans first came out. I think this just might be the game that really nails how intimidating and alien they were before all the memes and badly handled cartoons and books made them caricatures.
I’m super excited for this I hope it comes out with an absolutely epic score like titan fall. Hearing “prepare for mech combat” with an amazing score would send chills down my spine!!
Will we finally have the option for the external camera to be directly BEHIND the mech instead of to the side? Because over the shoulder is rather off-putting for targeting.
Honestly, reminds me of a BattleTech campaign I ran back in late 2000s. I wanted to play 3025, but my players all wanted to play as Clans. So I compromised. I allowed them to play as Clan Smoke Jaguar Warriors during the Invasion. But their characters were the player's actual ages, which was 27-31. Their characters were old Warriors, just before being declared Solahma, too old. They'd managed to pass their Trials of Position though and earn a spot in the Invasion. So their Cluster commander to decided to put them in the same Star and throw them at every impossible mission. One last chance for glory. And one of the best BT campaigns I've run. And thus I'm getting excited.
I'm looking at the Star commands on the lower left corner and I think I recognize the Mech acronyms. Shadowcat (obviously), Arctic Cheetah, Mist Lynx, Kit Fox, and Viper.
Straight chills, cannot wait for this to release. Hopefully we can finally live in a world where every DLC isn't full of comments begging for clan content.
Mechwarrior 5 and Piranha games are criminally underrated. Hope with this expansion MW5 gets the recognition it deserves. I forgot how beautiful the game looks
Mechwarrior Online is garbage and sullied PGI's reputation. MW5 was a barebones and stale game. They aren't underrated at all. They are rated exactly what they deserve. Time will tell if this new game repairs their reputation a bit.
@@AnanamitronI won't disagree on Mechwarrior Online, but you're letting nostalgia blind you too much. I won't disagree that mods saved the game, but MW5 is a decent introduction to Mechwarrior, on top of the multiple attempts with DLCs to fix the "barebones" issue. MW4 was just the same quality as this.
@@Ananamitron don't know what you are talking about MW5 was awesome even without mods/DLC, played it without mods.

Can’t wait for this game even if it doesn’t hold up to other people I will always support mechwarrior games u have a place in my heart ❤. Been playing mechwarrior since I was 16 I believe I am 33 now
My batchall: "I fight using nothing but a spoon." "We are Jade Falcon, great among the Clans. We are warriors who fight with the strength of the falcons claw and ascend to the heavens on the wings of the same. We remember with the clarity of falcon-sight the words of Kerensky. Through the smoke of time he speaks to us, his chosen, and urges us onward with the promise of Eden. We will retake what is ours by right, that shining jewel Terra. Not the vastness of space nor the Wolf's obstinate howl will stay us from our righteous goal. We are Crusaders and will trample all who stand in our way!"
Back to Mech 2?? YES. Looking at the current gameplay, I have one crit/suggestion: make that camera as heavy as the mech. The smooth follow does not do the battlefield perspective justice at all.
The only in game footage is the in-cockpit stuff... And based on the trailers for MW5 that's a mockup and not necessarily indicative of the final game. Real mechwarriors fight from inside the cockpit anyways.
I hope “mech combat” does not mean picking up loot containers middle of the battle. Or enemy artillery which makes no sense (as in the MW5:Merc artillery trajectories were wrong, and the red impact warnings were very videogamey designs as opposed to having more emphasis on simulation).
Great idea, let's make the game as formulaic as possible without any procedural generation where 10 years later, all of the missions will be exactly the same missions with exactly the same conditions just like the original games.
@@nineballmk2 I want it more exciting through simulation. Where an enemy tank or helicopter keeps its distance to enemy mechs, and is actually a threat.
I love Mechwarrior, but I also grew up playing Battletech. When are we going to get an actual Battletech game. No, not one that just lets you command a reinforced Lance, but one that allows you to Command all 5 regiments of Wolfe's Dragoons. Or one where you command all Army's one of the Great Houses. Am I the only one who wants to take this to the level of conquest to conquer the Inner Sphere and be named First Lord. Because that is the ultimate Battletech.
@@robertthompson2601 I'd say something about some random Steiner brat soon causing problems. Then I remember he's Jade Falcon's problem, and you'd probably enjoy that.
@@robertthompson2601 It doesn't need to scare you, you and the city you took refuge in will succumb to the firepower of multiple Atlas'. After all, stealth mission is successful if there are no survivors to report what they have seen.. 😏
OHHHH SHIIIIT! So exciting, those cutscenes are brilliant! Proper radar!? SCANNING!? Here we freaking goooo! Would love to see some diagnostic “fluff” readouts aaa Mech 2 as well, but regardless I’m so excited!!
It will be one of the best games in series if it will have normal scripted campaign, like mw3-4 did. MW5 was great in many aspects, except for quickly annoying same-typed generated missions: kill mech, destroy fence, protect garage etc
It's a UE4 game ported to UE5 during dev. And originally planned to also release on last gen console until one week before the announcement, so don't expect fancy tech. Not that you should in general for AA or lower game, that and VDB are way too expensive outside of niche case right now
Looking forward to this, although the pyrotechnics look too "Hollywood." More realistic explosions and smoke can go a long way to adding immersion and a sense of satisfaction when destroying an enemy. A quick review of IRL combat footage (especially of tanks) from the past couple years can provide all the needed inspiration.
You did good PGI, I'm here to tell you, you did good. Thank you.... Hurry up with DLC and for the love of kerenski add more friggin mechs to the roster, or lock them behind beating the campaign or something.
My biggest worry with this being a narrative campaign is this game will be insanely short. Which is why it's not Mechwarrior 6. It's just a tacked on 10 missions you finish in a single sitting.
might be double that. also I expect some of the last missions being on the losing end of the Battle of Luthien, all while a remix of Götterdämmerung from Mechwarrior 2 Mercenaries is playing in the background.
did part of the cutscene with people get AI generated? looks like it with all that weird shimmering effects on the side of that guy's head and lips @0:55
@@minnowminnow1028 why would it be compressed? this isn't some reupload this is their official youtube channel and that's not compression shimmer plus watching gameplay footage the pop up portraits look like how Bone Totem used AI for their character videos. that weird playback then rewind loop also @0:21 you can see the guy's face has some weird uncanny eyes, his left nostril is bigger and closer to his lips while his left eye socket is bigger and higher up on the head hold up a piece a paper and block half his face then flip it.

Yes said shimmering effect can be caused by TH-cam compression, TH-cam compresses anything uploaded to it, even if it's the original upload of said video.
If the game actually has cutscenes with facial animations and character models like this, and if they happen at least once before each mission, then my hat's off.
It looks ok. For U5E lvl. I'm still waiting on games that look like the examples shown when they reveal the engine initially. Nothing comes close to those concepts.
I can't wait for this, this looks good and a story driven mechwarrior game is what I have been yearning for. Sad we don't play as clan wolf but also this looks great
ngl, anything mechwarrior is already insta-buy for me, but this trailer was legit - hope it's indicative of the production values for the rest of the game. Excited!
The lore is so deep and rich, any attempt to tap into it and not cornball it up should be praised. That said, like MW5:Mercs- no one wants 40% of the combat footage to be methodically swatting flying npcs with the same crash animation. That is not going to impress or bring in new players. Dynamic mech on mech combat please! Look at the old HAWKEN trailers.
It is its own game, I actuality wish it was dlc , I dont think it will be big enough to warrant it being its own game and would be nice to all the content be together
Over/Under on this getting delayed out of 2024? Many AA and AAA studios have long lead-ups to launches with dates, and we're still at "2024". Also, the biggest things haven't really been revealed: is the mechlab as gimped as it was in MW5? How many mech chassis are included?
@@JustinFrost302 What makes you think this? MW5:Mercs isn't F2P so I expected it to be the same. Also the IGN preview that was just posted doesn't indicate anything about it being F2P.

look good, i saw the mech fall down after get shot by AC at 0:47. Hope it is part of the game and not just some cutscene.
That's a gauss cannon
It looks ok. For U5E lvl. I'm still waiting on games that look like the examples shown when they reveal the engine initially. Nothing comes close to those concepts.
This looks very good. Can't wait to see the launch date.
HOLY SMOKES, THIS LOOKS SICK!
выглядит перспективно
I can't wait for this, this looks good and a story driven mechwarrior game is what I have been yearning for.
Sad we don't play as clan wolf but also this looks great
Hopefully in the DLCs we will play as the other big clans.
@@FernandoAPrado if they did this as DLC it would be amazing. Each DLC you play the events of another clan during the invasion
Ahhhhh clan smoke jaguar
Is it supposed to look like a retro game?
Christ on a stick not this shit again....
Games are more than their graphics....
ngl, anything mechwarrior is already insta-buy for me, but this trailer was legit - hope it's indicative of the production values for the rest of the game. Excited!
The lore is so deep and rich, any attempt to tap into it and not cornball it up should be praised. That said, like MW5:Mercs- no one wants 40% of the combat footage to be methodically swatting flying npcs with the same crash animation. That is not going to impress or bring in new players. Dynamic mech on mech combat please! Look at the old HAWKEN trailers.
please dear God don't let this just be a MW5 dlc
It is its own game, I actuality wish it was dlc , I dont think it will be big enough to warrant it being its own game and would be nice to all the content be together
Over/Under on this getting delayed out of 2024? Many AA and AAA studios have long lead-ups to launches with dates, and we're still at "2024". Also, the biggest things haven't really been revealed: is the mechlab as gimped as it was in MW5? How many mech chassis are included?
More than likely, these developers don't know how to make a good mw title. Nor how to tell a story smh
NGL The gameplay looks like footage taken from the Clan Mod's used in MW5, the visual representation looks like a exact copy of MW5/
❤
WTB....and really hope there is more co op benefits then MW5 Mercs was
I'm an Inner Spheroid down to my bones, and even I got chills from how good this looks
IT'S A GOOD TIME TO BE A MECHWARRIOR FAN
I became a bit worried about clans after the last mercs dlc. it was a disaster honestly. but this looks promising 🤞
Can't wait! Preorder available when?
think it will be free to play
@@JustinFrost302 What makes you think this? MW5:Mercs isn't F2P so I expected it to be the same. Also the IGN preview that was just posted doesn't indicate anything about it being F2P.
@@JustinFrost302why would it be free to play? It’s not MWO, it’s a single player/Co-Op game.
I love this!
When did Deadpool loss his healing power?
Please story of Japanese subtitles.I like Mercenaries.but,I don't know story.very sad…I love KING CRAB＆UARBANMECH!!!Looking forward to!!!
