a new mechwarrior game has been teased! it's a franchise reboot being developed by piranha games, who dev'd teh transformers 2 game (queasiness) but it's being produced by jordan weisman (the creator of battletech).

after reading about the dev house and kotaku's description i was a little uneasy. my fears were calmed when i read the full ign interview. jordan said that while "it's not your father's mechwarrior" it will keep the series' action-sim roots and won't be dumbed-down like mechassault. it really seems like this guy 'gets it' about the franchise and will do right by it.

doesn't have a pub or release date, but right now they're planning on a 360 and pc release.

EDIT: forgot to mention, they're planning 4-player co-op! hope that's local as well as online.
