i was looking around some ancient cd's i burned years ago, looking for something or other (dont even remember what i was looking for now...)
and what do i find?
my long lost copies of 'mechwarrior 3' and 'mechwarrior 4', and i got to thinking a bit...
'mechwarrior 3' came out in 1999, and 'mechwarrior 4' came out in 2000...
and now its nearly 2006... what happened to one of the greatest gaming franchises *ever*?
why has the gaming industry forsaken one of its best franchises ever? i mean, come on, seriously, GIANT ROBOTS! that *ROCKS*! :)
now, i know that the whole giant robots theme hasnt entirely disappeared from the gaming industry (armored core for the ps2, mechassault for the xbox, etc'), but what happened to giant robot/mech games to the PC?
why has it been 5 years since this franchise made an appearance?
and more importantly, wont it *ROCK* to have a giant robot game with today's wicked cool graphics?
im sorry if this seems a bit rant-ish, but i just thought i'd share my thoughts... :)
