Dear mr games man.
Please primarily develop for the pc and later port to the console. Do this with a two pronged release schedule, this will allow maximum dps (demographic pleasing statistics) on both groups.
Please take the concept of a simulator somewhat seriously, I am not talking a derp flight sim, but something to make me feel like "I AM MECHWARRIOR".
Please do not mess with the lore and instead draw from the insanely rich rivers of it that already flow. I would heartly suggest the employment of one of the well reported battletech writers, (Stackpole comes to mine most immediately) this would ensure a lovely rolling story in a style that we are all accustomed to.
Please as a later (post release support is insanely important what what) a campaign/mission editor. You realise I trust you are dealing with a francise that has long been dead in the mainstream, so longevity on this is a must. I hope to be playing this ten years after release.
To further the above post, please make full usage of the tech availible to you at the time. Obviously you have to be aware of the lower powered gamers out there *cough* console scalability *cough* (and I am not trying to teach grandmother to teach eggs here). But this is of course 2011 and Mechwarrior is primarily a PC francise and the modern PC is able of such lovely looking things that so rarely get included due to people trying to appeal to everyone.
But most of all, please, please, please, please don't kill the francise for a quick buck. To some people this is their lives, not just their livelyhoods.
Thank you man who will most likely never read this rambled and incoherent open letter.
Yours Brofully,
Billy Tiberious Wolfhound Mcdonalds Tinkerbell Taylor
