Mechwarrior 2 for the win! but no though I am still a huge fan of the battletech universe and I hope it doesn't go away because blowing crap up with giant robots will never grow old for me!
Giant robot games - where did they go?

Armored Core for Answer was released last year, and it's decent.
I'd suggest you stick with the classics, though. My personal favorites were Mechwarrior 2 and Armored Core 2: Another Age.
Which clan were you?

Oh gods, someone besides me remembers Mech 2.Drake the Dragonheart said:

I remember R.A.D. as well, but only played the demo. I wish I had found it when it was on shelves.buggy65 said:
I actually keep my Pentium 3 around running Windows 98 SE so I can play Mechwarrior 3 and so I can play Carmageddon 2.Wicky_42 said:
On topic, however, I was honestly thinking the same thing. I've got several Mechwarrior games, Heavy Gear 1 and 2...I've played armored core but since I don't really have a PS2 or PS3, I never got to get into it. Even the PSP one looked good, but I forgot the name of it. Shattered Steel was a game similar to these; it was made by Bioware, who are still around and flourishing. Earthsiege was a good game like that too...
Nowadays, I don't see anything like this. Even the Mech Assault games were starting to lose the "customization" factor. I even remember seeing a Mechwarrior 4 arcade game where you sat in this yellow cockpit thing that would shake when you were hit, and you had a couple joysticks and pedals. Might have been a dream since I can't find anything about it anywhere, but I do recall it.
Anyway, no, there aren't Mech games. And it's because they aren't in demand from enough of a market. PC sales are very, very low compared to what consoles have been making. Game developers don't care so much about making a good game as much as making money, so they just put out an FPS that people will 'actually play' because they think it's their best bet. Game designers from these series have been doing other things as far as I know. I know someone recently bought the rights.

Actually, the day I made that post about R.A.D., I did some searching around town. I actually found TWO used copies of that game still around. The game only cost $10 as well, so I picked one up. If you're still interested in trying it, I say check out your local game store and try your luck. If I could find 2 copies in Omaha, it shouldn't be too hard to find it most anywhere.AceDiamond said:
