quote:
As long as I'm working at Fasa Studio at Microsoft, there will always be a possibility of another PC mech simulation. It would be an understatement to say that I love this game. The last 6 years of my life have been spent day-in and day-out working on Mechwarrior. I am in this business because I played MW2 and loved it so much I had to become part of the industry. (well, that & X-wing).
I am a die-hard sim fanatic, having played everything from Janes, Microprose, Looking Glass, Origin... the list goes on and on I have a whole freakin shelf floor-to-ceiling with sim games. I am a sim-head. Sure it would be great if more Sim games were mainstream, or weren't so hard to learn for most folks. But that in no way hinders me from wanting to make another mech game.
It's somewhat humorous reading the posts that declare that Mechwarrior has moved to the X-box permanently. I would submit the people saying this have little or no knowledge of our business. MS is still firmly behind PC game development, that should be obvious from recent announcements.
PAINGOD was a core force behind Mechwarrior at MS, and is probably one of the main reasons MW4 actually got shipped. He was a good friend and will be sorely missed, but understand that he wasn't the only person passionate about MW on the PC at Fasa, myself and several others still firmly believe in the MW vision.
So yeah, no promises... dates... even a hint of what the next MW incarnation might be. That's the reality. But everyone needs to know that the flame is still burning, and when the opportunity arises it will become a bonfire. It would be kind of silly to completely dismiss MW on the PC given it's history, and the potential for greatness again on next-generation hardware.
This BBS and the people here have always been key in helping our development efforts... And we will be back to start the brainstorming when we get the chance, that is a promise.
Thanks
