IGN has released the official reveal trailer of Mechwarrior, the newest Mechwarrior game. The game is being developed by Piranha Games, developer of the latest Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen game in conjunction with Smith and Tinker, the current holder of FASA Corporation's old holdings. Smith and Tinker was founded by Jordan Weisman, director of original Mechwarrior series. The reveal trailer shows footage the developers claim are rendered in game and feature ... uhh features that they claim are also in game. Among these are unmanned surveillance drones you can launch from your mech, dynamic destructible buildings that can collapse under the weight of certain mechs, and tons of fine details such as objects around you shaking as your mech takes steps, windows of buildings shattering from heavy mechs landing on them, and low caliber bullets bouncing off mech armor. Along with the trailer, IGN has also released a lengthy interview with the visionaries in Smith and Tinker. Apparently they plan to restart the Mechwarrior franchise from the very beginning so newcomers don't have to learn 25 years of Battletech history to get the story. They have big plans to return to a classic time when mechs were worth more than their pilots and losing one in battle was a big deal.
