My dad had MW4 when I was a kid (I'm 23), and the opening cinematic just blew me away. I don't think it's an exaggeration to say it was the coolest thing I had ever seen at the time. I still get goosebumps every time

I'm wishing for the real thing. Pacific Rim worked. Robot Jox is underrated. Give me my MechWarrior movie!

What spirit in this old Mechwarror 3 game , its like they managed to realistically portray they grimness of war, struggle for defense against an overwhelmingly strong enemy, bravery, and integrated it all in to a Mechwarrior combat game. Its pure genius and talent.

That Mech Commander part ... damn, it holds up friggin well, loved that game back in the day !

"It is the 31st century, and mankind is once again at war." Am I the only one that gets goosebumps every time they hear that line?

I first saw the MechWarrior 4 cinematic on my grandma’s computer when I was 12 and I fell in love instantly. I have been a fan of Battletech ever since.

The Mechcommander part brought back so many memories. I played that game in a league for thousands of hours.

I still remember when i get my MechCommander. It was a gift from my uncle and i probably played thousands of hours. Heck i even buy a dictionary and learn english because of that. It's been over 20 years but i still remember every mission, map, caches, power-down mechs and minezone locations. Never saw any mech game close to that greatness, fuck i'm playing battletech now and what i got a dozens of ugly random generated cgi pilot portraits with zero soul. Btw MechCommander had a picture portraits with triggered ingame animated movie-scenes. It is superior with every single aspect and i still got it, modded on my computer.

This is an excellent cinematic intro to the Mechwarrior universe. Not only do you get a glance into the politics and conflicts, but a feel for what an engagement could be like. Agreed, we need a Mechwarrior movie.

those 3dfx times was so good :~(

I"m so sad that these types of video game cinematics weren't big budget theater movies. I guess the visuals weren't good enough for cinemas and making them look better would have cost a fortune. Still it would have been nice to see something like this.

Thanks man. Nice flashback. MW 4 Intro always gets me... had to blink tears away.

as long as they use the lady's voice from MW2 during system functions

would be nice to get a new modern "mech commander" with bigger maps and worlds.

I liked the part where they tried to make the Clans sympathetic and human at the beginning, and then the Clanners died. I found the 'last stand' to be particularly amusing. "I'll hold them as long as I can..." right, so about fifteen seconds? Yup. Good job there Star Captain!

I enjoyed this. Made me feel like I was reading the books series again. Well done.

I don't honestly have the skills nor time, but SOMEONE should make a mechwarrior VR game! Since you sit IN your cockpit for the entire game it'd be PERFECT for VR - ESPECIALLY if you had any of those old virtual world Battletech VR pods from waaaaay back when!

It took KZfaq algorithm 6 years to recommend me this it's as if a sign telling us that history is going to repeat it self XD

Piranha Games is about the last standing owner of the IP or any USPTO trademarks. The WIKI myth that Virtual World Entertainment survived in any form after 2005 might be a bigger myth than the Hollywood MechWarrior movie. Thanks for all of the great MechWarrior memories!

Chris Kubasik was once attached to write a screenplay for a BattleTech movie. (c. 1995) The project dissolved due to creative differences. A producer (one of the ones who created the idea for "The Lion King" by saying "Let's do 'Bambi', with lions!') was intent on it being a "coming of age story". I checked Kubasik's recent work on wikipedia, and I have to LOL when I realize exactly where I think a lot of his inspiration for "The Booth at the End" came from. :)

Wing Commander & Battletech are two very successful game and book franchises of the 90s and deserve a movie!

Thanks for making this it was truelly enjoyable to watch. People always seem to think having a big Atlas makes them God... tilk a scout shoots 'em in the back lmao. Perfect cut scene of my play style! People underestimate a scout's potential up until they realize what has happened. Thanks fir that cut scene! And I agree, a real Battle Tech/ Mech Warrior movie should be made! Its too rich of an intricate universe to not be so! They did Dungeons and Dragons, they could surely do Battle Tech!

God damn... for something this old, this looks awesome! Damn AWESOME!

This brought back some old memories.

The only problem I see with a mech warrior movie, are the mech designs. While practical and efficient, they also look like the offspring between a toaster and an AH-1 Cobra.

It is the 31st century and mankind is once again at war The battlefields of the future are dominated by huge robotic war machines known as BattleMechs Piloting these awesome weapons of war are men and women, the elite of the elite, knowing that each battle could be their last They are MECHWARRIORS.... Gives me goosebumps everytime. It is from the Mechwarrior 3 release trailer isn't it? I had this on a demo and trailer CD back in the day. Good times!

Well done good sir. You've done the Battletech universe proud with this one.

I love the game I just wish that they would make it for PlayStation 3 but the game is awesome

As former Khan of Clan Jade Falcon in Brian "Necromancer" Bisson's MechWarrior League. I approve of your creation and composition.

Dude this was so awesome, I love what you did with the endings, openings, and cutscenes from the Mechwarrior game for Battletech, shame there'll probably never be a real movie, but thanks for doing one with what you had. ^_^

I certainly hope they can bring the good video clips back with MW5. This was a one of the things I really liked about the original MW games.

10:26 Mad Cat: "The fuck?.....YOU WANN FUCKIN DIE!?"

If only mainstream consumers loved the series as much as I do. It's virtually the only american mecha series.

Thanks for doing this ...LOTS of good memories ....MW3 on a rig with good specs is worth an evening and MW4 is not bad either. Fully agree a realistic Mechwarrior movie is perfectly doable nowadays but with the quality of cheesy and PC screenwriting I see it would probably be a wash. The Battletech universe is hard edged and gritty....not PC....and the machines do mean things to just about everything...

Watched it again, now I want to play the MW4 games yet again!

Nicely done. Brings back a lot of memories of those games I had played over the years....good times! =D

Call me a nit picker but I find it amusing that Battlemechs are built on assembly lines as if they were modern day cars.

Great movie, brings back some memories. Thank you. Maybe one day someone with a Hollywood budget will make a MechWarrior movie trilogy or do a TV series of it like Battlestar Galactica. There's enough worlds, politics, and people that they could run it for years like Dr Who or Star Trek with a similar style of philosophical and ethical real world problems in a parallel running world.

Interesting, Davions using Clan mechs in the opening sequence. The Steiners were invading with a mix of Clan and Inner Sphere mechs. This is the opening cinematic from MechWarrior 4 Vengeance.

I Loved going to the virtual reality center in Chicago when I was a kid. I wish someone might take these old pods and update the software and quality of the experience and1 even using either magic leap augmented ve* or full immersion VR Oculus type setups. That would be SO DAMN AMAZING!

This makes me wonder why there isnt an official movie yet.

Formula for successful mech warrior movie. Rabble rabble rabble... DAMN CLANNERS!!!...rabble rabble rabble.

14:22 "Tanks and light battlemechs". All I see are medium through assault

Not perfect, but you edited that well! I enjoyed seeing the footage.

Played 1, 2, and 3 as a kid as well as countless hours of the xbox game with a friend. I was always on the lookout for people with mech warrior on pc when I was a kid because I didn’t have a pc of my own and every on e and awhile I did find someone. I could either watch or play for hours just entirely engrossed in the environment and my young mind trying to grasp the concept of piloting one of these titanic beasts. It was a great time and I’m really saddened that I haven’t seen more singleplayer mech warrior type games lately. Luckily mech warrior 5 comes out this year! Lets hope that it lives up to the standard and doesn’t follow the path of mech warrior online.

This is so awesome!!! I got into mechwarrior games with MW2 and then MW2 mercs. 4 was the only one missed. I loved how you took the cut scenes and made as cohesive a story as possible considering all the sources had different stories and cinematic styles. GREAT job!!!

Meanwhile, in-game it's, "Shoot the FOOT !!! and circle !!"

I really enjoyed the film presentation. I don't mean to stray from the original universe but this reminded me a lot of the cutscenes from the first Command & Conquer. A perfect mixture of news snippets and action scenes to help construct the story in a realistic perspective. Great work! Had an awesome director!

the opening music makes me get misty a little, every single time. Gods, give us a mech movie.

My favorite weapons in all of Mechwarrior are as follows: 1) Clan ER PPC. 2) LB20X. 3) AC20. 4) Clan "Streak" SRM (deadly accurate and outstanding for a close in slugfest against another mech) 5) Clan medium guass rifle

This makes me want the mech games back on my pc. PLEASE GOG.

Well... Suddenly, it was really interesting film. Despite of overall picture quality... I just could not stop watching it. Thank you very much for this.

"It is the 31st Century and mankind is once again, at war." - Has the Battletech universe ever known peace since the fall of the Star League?

Well done sir, even though the material is not your own how you placed the cut scenes and utilized the clips shows that you have a knack for storytelling. Thank you for sharing this.

Still love these games ….

The good ol' days..3dfx :D

Thank you, love the creative efforts put into the storyline. I've been a MW fan since the beginning and appreciate your work.

I agree with everyone here.. maybe a petition of sorts to get a film started with some good advisers so they get the story right... A good MechWarrior Movie.. not Pacific Rim... but a real mechwarrior story. You could begin with the movie where the Star League leaves.. then the next 10 minutes or so with tell the story of the succession wars.. and begin a story with the Clan invasion... go from there. Pretty sure a successful movie would beg for more.

Man they still only had 480p in the 31st century

That is some really cool work! oh i love mechs ^^

This was good times, could not wait to finish dinner and log in to join my league.

still better than all transmormer movies

Just saying, MW NEEDS to be a movie, and I think Bruce Willis would make a kickass Lance Leader.

Chancellor Tzun Tsu - Reasonable? Great video BTW!

Love the mw4v vid dissapering cig in his head set 😆 this is a grate live action scene why can't this crew do a live .movie

Someone sholud started real full-lenght movie on Kickstarter seriously For HOuse Steiner!

Dat Vengeance intro still op af.

"I'll hold them as long as i can" **activates beast mode**

Not to shabby. Took a it to get used the old graphics...but I remember a lot of those game sequences.

Remember ROBOTJOX

THIS IS FREAKING AWESOME!!!!!! ~~I never knew (tear) such film existed.... Ya know folks.....I always wondered what being "legged" would be like in real life. This actually proves it in my mind. 15kph now sounds reasonable. lolololollllll

For what it was, not too bad.

Its odd how davion / Stainer are fielding a absurd amount of Clan/Lostech for that timeline. I remember when this game came out and kinda hating it. Felt like they dumbed down the mech customization tried to turn it into a FPS shooter. Multiplayer almost always boiled down to everyone just stacking PPC's and sniping.

Wow I was impressed how fast they build battle mechs.

9:54 he's singing the ejecting song. so much fun.

bring back live action cut scenes and cinematics

Loved this game. Had the expansions as well.

If no one else will put this here, then I will. They attacked MY HOME PLANET!

I had these games. How nostalgic.

Reminded me of the good ol days in my Canis!! A.K.A. Dragon~~

MechWarrior needs to get a really good movie yes they are good the most of it from the games and that's it we need a MechWarrior movie like Star Wars

i am a mech warrior fan i played mechwarrior online before mechwarrior online had it's onwn game! i a real mech pilot! and there should make movie and spend a bit of money on it! it would be cool! also take the download block off this, this deserves a desent player to watch this on! please allow us to download it!

That first video still gives me shivers.

One of my favorite games.

Loved this!!!! Well put together!

would love to see a full length movie

Nice I like this good job on making it.

A Battletech movie worthy of being called "The BattleTech Movie"? Now it could be done, but it has to be done from the concept novel, evolved through a light novel format, turned over to manga teams for the storyboard and character design and then live acted in front of a blue screen . . . BEFORE you allocate special for the effects budget. Why do I say this? Because to take something this deep and give it insufficient coverage, vis a vis its vast and broad backstory, is to cheapen it till it looks and feels no different from all the other brain garbage out there. It'll have to be somewhat like a a series, but more of a 12 hour movie divided into convenient one hour segments for general consumption. As for the plots and subplots, Kung Fu movies are redolent with them; revenge, rivalry, secret missions, failed coups, invasions, assassinations . . . mesh a bunch of those together in the background against the panorama of the Inner Sphere in, say, 3030 or so, to keep the mind occupied while you tell your Heroic Epic in the foreground. I know it's gonna be a headache, but I'll take the romantic lead role. It doesn't pay as well as Arena Mech Jockey, but I get to the bars before they close.

well done, liked the ending, with the arrival of the clans!!

Nice shot, Sig 2!

This is mercenary Gavin Agian, of the Centurion VII (starkiller) we hold Carvevr 5 REPAEAT Baxter is in control again, well done Odo! We are Leaving!! (in the Hicks voice)

9:55 i don't know why i laughed so damn hard :'D... JEKTING!

I still find it very hard to believe that three Light 'Mechs were able to take down a Mad Cat (Prime?) with as little firepower that they used. Even with rear armor hits....

you can still play the game on gameranger , the mechs move very smoothly, the weapon are great all mechs are unlocked, each game is different because you build the mech to the maps there are over 300 maps check it out. you can always ask for help from the coyote clan there helpful guys.

Ah dammit , this vid sure hit my soft spot .... MW4 Vengance was my first online game , its also the origin for my gamertag ;) Miss the good ol days..... Hope the bring out a decent MW movie soon...

Terrible graphics for a movie from 3063

Lol i wouldnt want to be facing off against a MadCat if i was in a Raven either

Mech 4's opening cutscene is why the Vulture (and yes it's a vulture you clanner scum only, winners get to name things) is and always will be, the absolute best big stompy robot of all time.

mw2 mercenaries was the best. the cd rom could be used in a cd player to listen to the soundtracks.

A well done animated series would be great
