Who do you think will pick up the new MechWarrior?

Topic.

I think there's a good chance Microsoft may pick it up, right now development is only going on for the PC/360 version (With no PS3 version in sight), though it's hard to imagine Microsoft picking it up after they just sold the rights to it.

I hope Activision don't pick it up, that's all I have to say.

I hope a company like EA picks it up and not a company like Ubisoft.

Yeah, I'd be cool with EA, they've published some awesome stuff and for some reason Mass Effect 2 is still a 360/PC game (Though I wouldn't be surprised to see a PS3 port.). So yeah, EA's awesome.

Only things I care about from Ubisoft are Assassin's Creed and Splinter Cell, therest is junk to me.So no Ubisoft pl0x.

its probably going to be a smaller publisher....possibly atari (who are big...but are small fry compared to the likes of EA and activision). i know i will be picking up the PC version on its release though....unless its crap.....but i hope its not. i hope its not MS. if it is then the chances are very remote that we will see a PC version. there would be a bigger chance if sony picked up the publishing rights :S.osan0

Haven't all the MechWarrior games been on the PC, indeed have been the main platform?

MechWarrior has always been a very PC series, so I think it would be stupid for ANY developer to cancel the PC version.

Hmm...I thought Atari was dead, I know they've published Riddick but what else have they've done recently?

considering the history MS, and FASA studios have i think its just a matter of time before MS announces itself as the publisher.

Interesting, why did MS drop FASA anyway? MechAssault seemed pretty good.

I really doubt it would be Activision, they don't publish anything that they can't see annualization coming from. And this is the first MechWarrior in years. I would actually put down a small wager on Sega picking it up. Or Squenix. Squenix seems to be trying to move in on the PC-Publishing game, and Sega just in general has been surprising me by publishing decent games recently.kieranb2000

That would be intersting if Square Enix did it.

And what else has Sega done good on to-date apart from Valkyria Chronicles? (That game is AWESOME!)

I can understand maybe why they dropped FASA because of Shadowrun, but why would you ever drop Ensemble? One of the stupidist things I've never heard. Microsoft needs to buy/make more 1st Studios.

Ah, forgot about those. Though that's probably since I haven't played them, so I can't judge.

Well I know they're publishing Alpha Protocol and AvP.

[QUOTE="kieranb2000"] It probably didn't sell. That and MS recently got rid of almost all of their developers. Except Rare of course. They paid too much for Rare to just through them away.kieranb2000

Yeah...Well maybe Robot will be better, and I'm sure Microsoft will keep an eyeon them, Halo Wars 2 with Natal anyone?

Alpha Protocol looks interesting and cool, and CANNOT compare to Mass Effect 2 at all. I'll have to wait for reviews because I don't know how much Alpha Protocol is pushing the RPG genre like Mass Effect 2 is.
