MechWarrior 5!

General
OMG OMG OMG! Besides being a fan of FPS games my second favorite franchise has always been the mech-sim, primarily the MechWarrior (MW) franchise.
Ever since Mech Assault was released on the X-Box I was wondering when they we're going to release another MechWarrior. Sure, an arcade style game in the BattleTech universe was fun but I absolutely loved the customization in the MW series, especially MW3's mech lab.
My heart sank when I heard, I believe it was last year, that the developers of the MW series closed down and I had given up all hopes of a sequel. But now there is a new company working on this along with one of the founders of FASA studios so I have high hopes.
My only worry is that it is coming not only to the PC, but the Xbox 360. I'm worried this will make it "watered down" to appeal to the Mech Assault fans.
TL;DR see the first in-game footage of MechWarrior 5!
