Check Out the Multiplayer Mech Madness of Hawken

I bet when you hear the phrase "indie games," your mind doesn't immediately run to stuff that looks like this:   

Seems interesting.

I feel bad ABOUT NOTHIN'.

We had the fighting game renaissance. Now we need a multiplayer mech shooter renaissance.

Man, this game looks really nice, and has some great art design (that giant battleship overhead was awesome), but the gameplay just does not look fun at all to me. It's all bunnyhops and circle-strafing. Not looking like my type of game, but definitely good on those guys for making it look that nice.

Con-sider yourself....in-formed.

This looks shecksay, the world needs more Mech games <3

Needs environmental destructibility.

Looks awesome anyways though.

Whatever happend to that Mechwarrior game, which got announced a while back?

     

I think it looks great. I would love if they got picked up by a bigger dev so this game could get better. I look forward to seeing the game when its finished.

please be good, please come to XBLA

looks like it could be a lot of fun,  hopefully we get to see more soon.

This looks pretty badass.

Incredible

I love how this looks!

Makes me wonder about the Mechwarrior reboot,  hope it's not disappointing.   On the other hand this game looks pretty fantastic.

Looks and sounds great, doubly so considering only nine guys made it, but the gameplay looks dull.

Don't think I want to play this, but I love that it's happening.

This looks a hell of a lot like Phantom Crash and that can only be a good thing.

Wasn't there a thread about this in the forums? Brad, you need search before you just got posting stuff.

Looks amazing. 

I saw this before,looks amazing.

Fuck this game looks awesome. Goes to show you that Clffy B's talk about the death of mid-level games was total bull-shit. Just the same as everything that son of a bitch says.

Wow...seriously?It can't possibly stay a PC exclusive?What are these people thinking?Now they are going to bankrupt themselves if they put all their effort into this.Which it seems.

The audio is bananas

Shit if they slapped a Mechwarrior license on this (if that even still exists somewhere), I'd be down diggity forever and I'd be satisfied. Hell, I'd be happy without it as well, but this looks so great it almost looks like it should have been a Mechwarrior game.    

Dude, I like mechs.

Had my volume up a fair bit. I'm impressed. They got the sounds pretty good.

it looks pretty cool, and also for some odd reason refreshing when I am watching it.

that looks awesome, looks like a new LAN party contender.  agree with the destructible environments, they're giant mechs they should be tearin' that shit up way more and knockin' chunks off, i like it

Every aspect of the mech design and movements and industrial sci-fi city design in this game appeals to me. I'm sold.

killzone 3 exo's on crack

" The art style kind of reminds me of Akira "

Ooooo man im so getting this.

Quick Look when it comes out?!

9 guys?? That's seriously impressive. As someone who was majoring in game design but is now witching over to English, this actually makes me kind of regret the decision.. 

Wow, that looks fucking crazy!

Getting picked up by a big developer wouldn't neccesarily make it better, in fact it would probably make it worse. "

nah

looks good

I've been keeping tabs on this game for a while, day one purchase guaranteed!

gotta get my mechwarrior fix somehow

Looks good, but i would rather have that Mech Warrior game that was showed a few years back.
