New Hawken Trailer Will Blow You Away

Well, in some levels it's generic FPS, but I really do like where this is going.
I have one (stylistic complaint) and that's when you walk, you hear normal footsteps. I'd like to hear big, grinding, smashing steps to get the feel of being in a giant machine. As it stands, I could just be a tall dude with an elaborate helmet.
Those aside, it honestly looks great, and I'll keep an eye out for it whenever it comes out.

Looks to be quite the game, i cant say im a little worried about all of the leaping/flying the mechs are doing but at least in this trailer it was all first person instead of 3rd person like the last one.
All and all seems like an interesting game, amazing for only 9mo in, hope they can trim back the grey on grey a bit tho.

This looks awesome, I'm sure we are all in agreement there. But there is a major point of contrition I fear hasn't been addressed properly: will the game feature a bunch of underdressed, anorexic teenagers who have to save the world in between angst and whining about said angst?
Of course you do; since the team are independent and likely won't earn a great deal of return back on the game however they are able to use the UDK for dirt-cheap - an engine that costs most studios, whom need to use more than UnrealScript, a pretty substantial amount. Furthermore the game is a Multi-player only shooter with what appears to be rather simplistic game mechanics; how exactly can you compare that to a single player game; which require far more content, and interesting set-pieces?j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
The game looks great yes; not as good as the previous trailer released [obviously a lot of work had gone into post-production for that video] and I am still hesitant to beleive the game will run all that smoothly due to all the minute details found in the environment [which is the reason it looks so good by the way], but it's one of the better looking UDK indie games out there.
Furthermore due to UDK's built in features and the games simplistic mechanics it's clear they didn't need to prototype various game mechanics as one might expect a larger studio to have to; the game really looks, from that video, to be UT3, with a different style of presentation, slightly slower pace and a graphical change - your comment just displays your lack of knowledge; and whilst it's understandable, it's also annoying that you'd insult developers when you clearly don't understand what goes into game development...
Which part of multi-player only can't you comprehend?thethingthatlurks said:
Like I said in the other thread. Looks impressive does not look great. The trailers make it look like its tailored directly towards Mecha fans. I cannot say that this game will be bad but it doesn't say whether it will be all multiplayer (in which it does look like it will be some mindless fun) or if there will be a story in which case it does not look so good since there is only a multiplayer gameplay video and nothing hinting at a story.
I do like the look of this. Will probably get it. Haven't had a good mech game since Mechwarrior 3 and Pirates Moon, which I loved to pieces. Am still hoping that next game'll come out soon, but haven't seen ANYTHING in a long time to make me think it will be. There's Mechwarrior Living Legends, but I imagine it being buggy and unpolished, and I doubt it'll have any sort of player-base, especially in Australia.
But, as has been said, the mechs do look a lil quick and jumpy, but it's better than nothin aye? Here's to Western mech styles

One thing I am pretty enthused about that I forgot in my first post, is you're actually in a cockpit.
I hate games where you've just got a HUD over the battle and no reference to you controlling this bit massive hunk of walking death. I want dials and gauges that work that show status, as you know dials and gauges.

Sure you are. And you're claiming this whilst simultaneously lacking the knowledge as to how this was produced. Your comments were incorrect within the context of the situation on a technical level.j-e-f-f-e-r-s said:
When you insult a group of people with as little knowledge as you hold, and then continue to preach ignorance after being given clear explanations you deserve to be treated in a hostile manner.
I've never been a massive fan of mech games, but this looks truly stunning, both in terms of visual fidelity and the design of the environments and the mechs themselves of course.
Gameplay-wise it looks great too, the only thing that puts me off is the lack of any single-player, I'm not a huge online gamer, but I'll probably buy this anyway.
