Pelikopteri | Battletech interview [1/2] - Designing the game once again @pelikopteri | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 17 hours ago.
It's time to BattleTech! Meet Mitch Gitelman and Jordan Weisman from Harebrained Schemes, the great chaps from USA, makers of the new (and the old!) BattleTech wargame for PC. In this first part (out of 2) interview we talk about the launch of the new game and how it went - and then start talking about the redesign of the 30+ years old game rules for a modern 2018 game.
Video originally from 2018. Not previously released in Youtube.

There's been dozens and dozens of different BattleTech versions during the almost 40 years of its existence. Board games, add-ons, role playing games and all those different videogames. We've really been waiting for the rebirth of the classic game and now it is finally here - but not in the way everyone expected. The game has been redesigned once again, with new rules, rule variants and modifications.

Also, whats in there, inside the deep core of BattleTech? What makes it like it is and how do you make a new videogame out of it?

And: the Clans. The damn Clans. Why, oh why?

Watch the interview and look out for part 2, in this very channel!

The year is 3025 and the galaxy is trapped in a cycle of perpetual war, fought by noble houses with enormous, mechanized combat vehicles called BattleMechs. Take command of your own mercenary outfit of 'Mechs and the MechWarriors that pilot them, struggling to stay afloat as you find yourself drawn into a brutal interstellar civil war. Upgrade your starfaring base of operations, negotiate mercenary contracts with feudal lords, repair and maintain your stable of aging BattleMechs, and execute devastating combat tactics to defeat your enemies on the battlefield.
