Indie Mecha Combat Game Hawken Looks Incredible

It would be great if the devs put some customization options for the config files regarding speed, so that players could play something more erratic and jittery if they prefer, or get some heavy mech action at a slower pace. I wouldn't like to play a large-mech game with machines that behave like Counter Strike chars.
That said, the trailer's visuals are positively mindblowing and I'm holding my fingers crossed for Adhesive Games.

This looks brilliant, I'll defiantly be keeping an eye out.
It reminds me a lot of the Heavy Gear games, hopefully unlike Heavy Gear you won't need three arms to work the controls.

Do you like multi-player? Do you have a Crysis worthy PC? Do you own Crysis Wars? If you do download yourself Mechwarrior: Living Legends. It's a free mod so Harmony Gold can go fuck themselves. It has the Warhammer and plans to add the Marauder!IndianaJonny said:
Not my cup of tea, I prefer giant mechs, these ones seem too small, too agile and way too jumpy. Beautiful setting though, but it looks like just another FPS (with jetpacks) in gameplay
Its remind me the Xbox game "Phantom Crash" (since that game also took plave in a urban environment) which is a good thing since I adore that game.
That was excactly what I was thinking. The mechs need a sense of weight. I personally like the fast moving Eastern mechs more than the lumbering Western mechs (though they're still pretty cool), but there needs to be momentum behind their movements. It's simple physics: if there's weight, there's momentum. This would be as easy as adding a slight delay before every movement and throttle controls for flight. This and a few other changes would be enough to make the games more dramatic and (pseudo-)realistic.DaHero said:
I would say logical, not pseudo-realistic. Either way your point stands. Games need to have a sense of logic to them or else they just fall into the world of semi-realism that I've come to hate in FPS games. If it's off the reservation like Unreal Tournament then I expect it to logically be insane. On the flip side, if it looks realistic then it should logically be realistic like Arma2. Don't feed me this half way crap like the CoD or Battlefield series.banthesun said:
