My childhood replayed

It seems like these days everything big and new from mass media is just an attempt to remarket my childhood. Transformers, G.I. Joe, Ghostbusters, Land of the Lost, Mechwarrior, whatever. Most of them are pretty big failures, or in the case of Transformers don't manage to find that winning formula even if they hit upon success.

But wow! I just saw the new Mechwarrior trailer...

when I was a kid playing the old battletech and citytech I imagined it just like this. No matter how bad they screw it up as the years go by, you never entirely forget that original feeling playing the game.

Incredible job Smith & Tinker, now what are you going to do for Shadowrun?
