any update on pharania game's Mechwarrior 5?

[whatever]

any news on the harmony gold vs mechwarrior epic court case?

[(TLL)Sky_walker]

They had some legal troubles, but these seems to be sorted out and.... no news after that. I guess they're making more mechs than these 3 we seen hehe

[Wizard^^]

LOL

Lets hope so or it will get boring fast

well typically most game devs don't start their marketing campaigns until they're about a year from release.

[whatever]

that's cool hopefully by then mwll will be my counterstrike and mechwarrior 5 will be my single player shoot em up mech Sim!

hahah i edited my original post full of sarcasm and the irony of harmony gold and battletech situation but reread what i posted and it was a little to much

grumble pants... hahahah.

Ready for a bombshell? MW5: Reboot will not be released on PC! KABOOOOOOOM! *little Clanner kids runs in pain of radiation* * I laugh, then stomp on 1 with my mech*

I can proudly say, this is wrong. My son made this post. (we use the same PC sometimes) "MechWarrior" will be on PC and 360. (the real thing left out is PS3) http://www.piranha-games.com/MechWarrior.html

yeah they had leagle issues with the original producers of the table top (not the makers) something about design issues because they owned the moulds for some of the mechs...............its one of those rather gay things that continually ruins games....these kinda issues have been prone to hold up game production till the game tech becomes obsolete and the game dies before release, taking the money ideas and will of the inovative designers with them :-(

if i were them i would release the game without the disputed content ....then release it as a community mod/skin for no profit resulting in no leagle claims for greedy cocks

we can do without our favriot mechs , if their is great community versions handy, we just want the game

Uhm... No.
The legal issues are with Harmony Gold, who hold the right to the Robotech franchise in the US.
The design issues stem from Fasa blatantly stealing a few Robotech designs back in the day, now it comes back to bite them, again.

According to an announcement on MEKTEK, they were able to get info about MW3015 at the GDC conference they went to and the game is moving ahead and making progress

Yea, the problem was with a group of mechs called 'The Unseen' which were some of the original mechs of Battletech, blatant ripoffs of some Robotech stuff. The 'Unseen' mechs were eventually redesigned enough so they could be re-released and are now called the 'Reseen'. The Warhammer used in the MW5 trailer is one of the 'Unseen'. My pure guess is that Harmony Gold got wind of one of those mechs that were originally in the lawsuit was in there, thought they could make some easy legal cash and sent out a notice, they remade the Whammy with the reseen look, and told Harmony Gold 'no u, we have reseen now' and it went away. Speculation, though.

Edit: I just read something, and apparently the Whammy in the MW5 trailer is actually a Warhammer and a Rifleman (the unseen versions) crushed together. I suppose that makes it a re-reseen more resembling the old style. (The Reseen Warhammer is FUGLY.. aw hell, here, I'll show you):

Ew.

Actually, to be a little more accurate, FASA claimed that the images they used for the Unseen mechs were licensed to them from another company (one who didn't have the rights to do so, meaning that either FASA lied about that or they got conned).

Full list of Reseen mechs:

Locust
Wasp
Stinger
Valkyrie
Ostscout
Phoenix Hawk
Shadow Hawk
Griffin
Wolverine
Thunderbolt
Ostroc
Ostsol
Rifleman
Crusader
Archer
Warhammer
Marauder
Battlemaster
Longbow
Marauder II
