E3 2012: Hawken Demo

ROBITS

looks very mechy

Free to play and it looks awesome. Cool.

Risk my life for Hawken? NEVER. Fuck this game.

(looks neat)

I can't think of a F2P game with higher production qualities than this. Super stoked about it.

Just the video I was looking for! Perfect timing.

Edit: I want to play this so badly. I truly hope they don't offer gameplay affecting items in the store though, unless there is some reasonably alternative way to get those items.

Definitely playing Mechwarrior Online and this game when they come out.

THIS GAME LOOKS AWESOME

Good to see the western mech genre making a return. Although, Chromehounds still holds a special lace in my heart

Hawkman approves.

Amazing

That's a very cool looking cockpit view.

This and Mech Warrior Online are looking sooooo good. Love me some classic style mech games.

Sorry Giant Bomb, but I'm only interested in what Hawktaku has to say about this game.

I got the giggles.

The interface for the mech design and loadouts is really cool to look at, great design.

EDIT: what an incredible looking game in general

a backward K cool!!!!!

"Techs-Mechs for lunch" :D

I am going to beta this so hard

Looks cool.

Cult of Personality started to play when Brad began playing. Coincidence? I think not!

"I like to be survivable" - Brad Shoemaker. I lol'd.

OOOhh... I can't WAIT!!!!!!

Looks great, but that delayed cockpit-to-camera movement is giving me some major motion sickness (not something I usually experience... ever). :\

I think I'd rather watch this game than play it.

Mech boner.

This game looks awesome. Also I can hear Reptilia by the Strokes in the background. Extra sweet.

Signed up for the beta before, can't wait.

I want dis gaaaaaaame!

Hahaha, that's me in the last :30 in the background scratching my ear. Internet famous. Finally.

Can't wait for this game.

Anyone else notice that on the upgrades screen Reduced Damage was in the offensive tree and Weapon Damage was in the defensive?

I giggled at "techs-mechs." Lovely.

"Do you need the mouse inverted?"

"No I don't because I'm not a crazy person."

Never change, guys.

cool beans!

Hawwwwwwk...taku.

I feel an urge to quote Big Bo here, so... that was SWEET!
This is definitely a game to keep following :)

I like the style of this demo video.

Not sure how I feel yet about the speed of the mechs. Even a medium one seemed to move and turn pretty fast. The level also is very urban with not a lot of open space.

hmmm, i don't know about body parts being purely cosmetic. I expect each component in my mech games to have a ton of stats to balance

I avoid F2P. But damn I like a good Mech game. This will be my first F2P game. Id pay retail for this one!

Hawktaku had way better Hawken coverage.

@Kyle: pretty sure they are exclusive to hawk man

Haha I noticed that as well.

Oh yeah, Hawken is looking great. I wonder if I'll need to upgrade my video card for it, though.

What's with all the shredding?

This.

this looks great hopefully this will show that the world is ready for mech games again.

Looks like Hard Reset, but mechs.

If only they had destructible environments......
