If you stick to the mainstream you're bound to be behind somewhat when it comes to the independent scene. Modding and just what is possible with tools out there these days has come a long way and there's some really impressive stuff being made. Not to mention that some of the stuff made by very keen, intelligent people looking for a career in video games development, while not content-extensive, has every now and again caused a stir for a long time now (demo-scene et al.)

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

lol Brad, silly statement to make. Theirs tonnes of indie games that look really nice, Lead & dead is a perfect example. It definitely looks like an indie game, pure and simple : )

@easthill: Why limit themselves to just the PC when they could at least try to get it on the 360/PS3, and therefore reach out to a larger audience? A bigger audience allows for more of a chance for more money for these devs.

Also, this game seems to be getting some attention far before it's done, whereas those god awful FPS Multiplayer games that keep coming out on XBLA have absolutely no press.

Something about the word "Hawken" makes me think "Wanzer". Maybe it's the mechs and I'm just stupid.

edit: After playing through Front Mission Evolved, this is very refreshing. I still believe there's an awesome game to be made by translating the various cutscenes in the PS1 and PS2 Front Missions games into real-time action. And SHOGO's multiple gameplay formulas of inside and outside the mech have stuck in my memories a lot more than most other FPS series of late. There's definitely an ignored ganglion to tickle there.

Perhaps this game will whet the appetites of those who can make our micro macross dreams come true.

He wants his mechs to emote goddamit!

I see where he is coming from to some extent (though I agree he shouldn't try to push a purely subjective view into an objective statement), but I sorely want a mech game to come out and be successful as I just love mechs. The only modern-day example of mech action I've had to this day was actually in FEAR 2. In multiplayer they were so much fun to play and the effects employed to enhance the mech experience there really made me smile.

Man, it has been so long since I had some good solid mech on mech action. Will probably pick this up as long as it plays decent.

Still waiting for that mechwarrior mmo. I would make a pact with whatever dark deity is willing to make that happen.

If anyone's after the more Mechwarrior like experience, there's already something out to satiate your desire somewhat:

Mechwarrior Living Legends is a total conversion mod for Crysis Wars. Because Crysis Wars (or a trial for it, I can't recall exactly) is free, you don't need to buy anything to play this game. You can get it here.

You mean this?:

Apparently there was a dispute between teh developers of this and the people who claim to own the copyright to the MechWarrior history. There's like a certain point or something after which the story isn't copyright, but this game ended up getting caught up in all sorta legal shiz, so development stopped as far as I know. Which is a shame cause this looked sexy as.

What I just said may not be 100% true, but check out Wikipedia if you wanna know more or read the comments on that video.

Actually, it's just that a couple of the mech designs in the video are based on really old Macross/Robotech designs which some Harmony Gold owned the rights to in the US in 1996 (based on an agreement with Tatsunoko Production which started years earlier). The current owners of the Macross IP, Studio Nue, actually don't seem to recognise this agreement and want to bring Macross Frontier to the US:-

Harmony Gold is currently issuing cease and desist orders against sites displaying images and trailers from the upcoming MechWarrior video game. The company claim that the images portray ’mechs that they own the rights to, according to a legal settlement from 1996. The video game developers claim that the machines portrayed are significantly different from the Macross originals to not violate the 1996 agreement. Being a re-distributor and not a content creator, it is very unlikely that Harmony Gold will ever make use of the mech designs that are in dispute. This continues to baffle fans of the Robotech series and the MechWarrior games. In addition, Harmony Gold’s license for Macross came from Tatsunoko Production, but Japanese courts ruled that it was Studio Nue (creators of the series) that controls the Macross intellectual property. The license Tatsunoko was given was for international distribution outside Japan only, and does not allow them to control the intellectual property.

@Chavtheworld: Years ago the Battletech people included some mechs which were too similar to the mechs from the anime Macross (which was repackaged and called Robotech in the west.) The developers of the new game included some of those old designs, which resulted in them getting sued.

I don't think one can entirely blame that lawsuit for the game being stuck in development hell, however, as all they have to do is change the models of a handful of mechs.

Stalking your profile = clicking on your profile?

Presumably they're using UDK, which means they avoid the ~$1 million it costs to license UE3 proper. There's some amazing looking stuff coming out of these indie UDK projects. Primal Carnage is another great example which should probably be getting more attention than it is. Worth keeping these games in mind when some 200 person studio is whining about how much it costs to make a decent looking game nowadays.

Bankrupt themselves because it's PC exclusive? Uhm, shut the fuck up up you uninformed consolite. CD-Projekt, Blizzard and Valve certainly have been getting along just fine with their library of PC exclusives. Along with other devs. (Total War and Minecraft's Notch say hi)Don't even bother coming back from that, what you said was so incredibly dumb. ;_____; "

He might be, but he's also not wrong. As a PC gamer I also experience a burning need to bite back when reading Agent47's comment - the illusion that PC gaming makes people no money because it's dying. Why? Because it's BULLSHIT.

I'm not bothering buying a next gen. console until well into the lifespan when the prices are similar to what the current gen is now. Think I'm just going PC till I have a clear favourite, could be a while e.g. 2017?!

Getting picked up by a big developer wouldn't neccesarily make it better, in fact it would probably make it worse. "
Just from my experience of multiplayer only indie games, very few ever do that well and end up being shells of what they could really be. I just think with the backing of say... epic they would get that extra boost to make this something special. I dont want a 100 person team on it, just someone to give them some help. "

Yeah that's fair enough if they just had a bit more manpower but still had complete control over the project. It's just that publishers would try to get their grubby little hands on it and start making "suggestions". Before long there would be a real risk of it having kill streak rewards and kill cam.

@Brad: What's even more impressive is that this game wasn't made using the full blown commercial Unreal Engine 3 but rather the free to use UDK. The reason this makes this game so impressive is that UDK has a far fewer scripting and freedom of development options because there's no access to actual engine source code, yet Hawken looks, sounds and moves like a big budget development.

That's pretty unbelievable even though gray is the only color in the game.

I assume it happens when you circle-strafe.

Is there any actual torso-twisting? Cause I'm not seeing any indicator on the HUD that there is. And if there's no torso-twisting, then it's not really a Mech game.

It gives a good sensation of being in the cockpit of a future MEC. Will be watching out for this game:-)

Bankrupt themselves because it's PC exclusive? Uhm, shut the fuck up up you uninformed consolite. CD-Projekt, Blizzard and Valve certainly have been getting along just fine with their library of PC exclusives. Along with other devs. (Total War and Minecraft's Notch say hi)Don't even bother coming back from that, what you said was so incredibly dumb. ;_____; "

Wow. You're a real big asshole Ygg.

Yeesh, calm down, duder. Even if what all you said is true, the PC gaming scene is far from what it used to be. It's much harder to make money on ANY platform, but the PC in particular, due to ease of piracy. Not saying that it's impossible to pirate games for consoles, but it is far less frequent. No need to tear the guy a new one.

Also, I think it would probably be wise for the devs of this game to at least try to get it on a console. It looks like it would fit right in to one of Microsofts "Summer of Arcade" lineups. Game looks polished as hell, and if the gameplay is nearly as good as the visuals, I'm down to drop some money on it. PC or elsewhere.
