GREAT interview with 3 of the developers working on MechWarrior Online.
Full Interview Here
Highlights for me:
MWO: What part of MechWarrior Online surprises you the most? Is there any part of it you think will surprise the fans?
...
[EVAN] I’m amazed how good the game looks so far. Mechs look awesome. Environments look stunning. Animation looks smooth. Gameplay is fantastic. We’ve achieved so much within such a short amount of time. And we’ll continue to add and polish the game.
[ENRIQUE] The richness of the environments is off the charts, and there is a cathartic satisfaction in being able to blow off the arms of your opponents.
...
MWO: What systems or options are there in MechWarrior Online to customize the way your ‘Mech works?
[THOMAS] Where to begin really… let’s put it this way. If something isn’t customizable but it should be, we’ll make it happen eventually. The beauty of frequently updated content is that we can listen to our fans and get it done for them.
[ENRIQUE] Designers will be able to answer that better than me, but I believe the weapon systems will be the main customization option, along with armor skins.
MAN! I CANNOT WAIT!
