E3 2012: Hawken Demo

Customising mechs? I'm interested.

EDIT: Hawkentaku!

Finally! A contemporary mech game that looks amazing! I am so stoked for this!

REALLY nice UI.

This looks great, I hope some other mech games that have grown dull will feel chastised for not innovating. It is amazing what a smaller studio can do.

Signed up for Hawken alpha 2-3 months ago, signed up for MechWarrior Online beta 2-3 minutes ago. Let's see who comes calling first.

Beautiful UI, really intuitive looking too.

I'd buy THAT for a dollar... The great thing is that I don't have to since it's free. Amazing!

Does it strike anyone as weird that the mech is visibly breathing?

The game looks great the hud looks like a jet's hud can't wait to play it and nice gameplay.

This looks like my kind of game. Sucks that I can't get the beta sign up thing to load.

If only every indie game looked this good... I'm truly looking forward to playing it when it's released.

Been looking forward to this for a long time.

This is F2P? Wow.

Free to play? I'll definitely check the finished product out.

Using a mouse with this game?! Fuck that!

Hope it has controller support!

PC :)

i need this in my life.

Awesome video! Brad does such a great job of interviewing people!

I'll wait until I read what Hawktaku says about it.

This looks cooool!

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's so nice to see some news about this game, it had to be over year since I last heard anything new! :D

I really hope this is good, it looks really ambitious.

"techs-mechs" best pun of E3, probably the year.

Jeez Brad, don't go spouting your anti-inverted prejudice out there so casually. Especially to a PC mech game developer.

aaaaaaaaaaagh this looks fuckin SWEET

This game looks very solid.

I wish the turning were a little more deliberate, that's all.

I like how everything looks like it belongs in a scrapyard in a dust storm.

I noticed that too. The as yet revealed fiction has a lot of explaining to do!

This game looks great, free-to-play games have really come a long way. I hope the trend continues.

HA! Get it? Techs Mechs? Bahahahahahahaha

CM Punk shows up at E3 around 5:30.

this PC may seem shy toward Hawken, but don't worry, she's just modest.

If this turns out to be some secret Evangelion game I will flip so many tables in pure anger.

As cool as it looks, it's just not living up to the kind of mech customization I was hoping for. This is more of a super stylized shooter.

Looks awesome. I personally really like that it's not super technical/complex. MechWarrior is coming, right? I'll take Hawken, you mech vets can go MechWarrior!

I can't wait for Hawken. I need a good mech game again. No armored core bullshit for me.

Seems like this would benefit from open areas instead of being a corridor shooter to get a proper feel of war.

I find it strange that future walking tanks are supposedly using several weapons from the Cold War.

He talked about the game being based upon a heavily modified version of the Unreal engine to give it a unique look. Honestly, the "dilapidated future city" look has been done by mech games in the past. We need more lush forests and snow-capped mountains.

Soylent mechs is people.

"Techs-mechs for lunch." YES.

Man. This is a LOT more fast paced than I imagined.

This game looks fan-fucking-tastic. Cannot wait.

I heard that immediately went to the comments... I'm sad it took 7 pages.

Man... all these good reasons to get a gaming PC... It's been so long and consoles are so good... but Hawken...

...but Hawken...

@Barrock: As a big Punk indy fan but having seen next to nothing of his WWE days, I don't get it. Explain please.

"Cult of Personality" is his latest theme song. When he comes out, right at that point in the song he yells "It's clobberin' time!!!" just like the person in the back ground did.
