Mech Warrior is Back!

When I got my very first PC back in '96 the original Mech Warrior game was the heat! I spent hours and hours playing that game and even went out and purchased the Microsoft Sidewinder joystick to aid in the robot pwnage. I'm proud to tell you that those Mech Warrior days of yesteryear are back!
Supposedly some of the above footage is "in game" and although the graphics are decent I've got some concerns. First off the Skull Boss character literally looks like the head was stolen out of Lego based game. The cylindrical shaped head and square body are far from scary.
Next the mech fight feels an awful lot like the battle of the Monitor and the Merrimack. For all you non Civil War buffs, the Monitor and Merrimack were two heavily armored ships. They took turns firing cannon balls at each other and the balls bounced off or did little damage because of the armor. A long slow and boring battle, which is how Mech Warriors feels. I have visions of long tedious battles in the middle of a desloate I Am Lengend esce hull of a city. Long shot for shot trading fights whilst ducking for cover behind a conveniently placed parking structure.
So who knows how this game will shake out. It has a TBA release date, and will be available for XBOX 360 and PC.
