Forum Overview :: Jordan Weisman's Mechwarrior :: Giant stompy mechs in the style of Imperial Walkers dismembering each other.

[quote name="Mischief Maker"]Battletech was originally a tabletop boardgame by FASA based around these stompy mechs with very detailed damage models. The Mechwarrior games are cockpit-view simulators of said mechs. Mech commander was a series of isometric real time tactics games in the universe. Tuesday's upcoming Battletech game is an attempt at a direct translation of the turn-based board game to computer by the same company that did Shadowrun Returns, Dragonfall, and Hong Kong. The last time a game attempted this, to my recollection, was <A HREF="http://www.matrixgames.com/products/237/details/Titans.of.Steel:.Warring.Suns">Titans of Steel</A> so at the very least it'll be a gigantic step up for graphics.[/quote]
