Hawken - Mech FPS- I looked upon the face of god, and I wept - Games

[QUOTE=69105;28905981]that's the entire purpose of the art style though. i think it's a nice concept. so many games try to go for looking stylishly "realistic" while movies stray as far away as that as possible and this game does exactly what movies do and what games SHOULD more often do.[/QUOTE] But it limits visibility and can lead to less than optimal map design.

[QUOTE=Audio-Surfer;28906017]But it limits visibility and can lead to less than optimal map design.[/QUOTE] i don't see it being very problematic at all when essentially all it does is provide an original artistic style. It's not like the game is attempting to be blindingly two-bit in contrast like BOOK OF ELI. what do you mean? [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] and i'd argue that there needs to be better visual cues for mechs so they stick out from the background more but it's kind of a pale argument when you're in a mech yourself and the enemies appear with huge red boxes with their health beside it. if you were to lose electrical power to your mech and/or your HUD goes offline it is kind of neat to have a harder time identifying friend from foe I think

Now lets see some really badass building destruction and you have me sold on it.

[QUOTE=MoarFunz;28906009]horrible imo, you wont be able to hit anyone.[/QUOTE] There's probably a cooldown or something. And clearly the player was able to hit them fine.

I hope there's some mech customization. We don't need anything as insane as what Armored Core did, but I would like to mix it up with some light, medium, heavy variants. While I love me a heavy bruiser mech, it can be just as much fun to dash around the map like a mosquito with a railgun.

I saw this on RPS or pcgamer a while back ( I don't remember) but I am interested. The problem I always have with mech-based games is the scale I just hope this does it right.

On the second video, when I saw that floating ship. I realized that I think this game looks a lot like the alien tech from District 9.

the architecture style is really nice.

I shat myself when I saw the details.

I shat myself when I realized that it's an FPS

I shat myself when I saw a title from an Indie dev that looks stunning and seems to be awesome to play.

This looks pretty awesome, I hope future cities look like that, it's fucking awesome though But when they say FPS, I hope it's from the perspective of the pilot, not just you can see the mech's guns in front of it, like from the pilot's eyes with a HUD, and targeting systems and radar and stuff. Now that'd be awesome

Man I would buy that shit so fast if it came out Hope it comes out on console however :( [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] [QUOTE=69105;28906826][img_thumb]http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/7121/ddude.jpg[/img_thumb] [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] watch the gameplay vid (second vid in op)[/QUOTE] God fucking damn I watched the first video. Oh lawd this is what I've dreamed of [editline]31st March 2011[/editline] Holy fuck this is going to be insane

The environments are nice, but I don't see a big difference in this than in any other FPS except Mechs Bigger Targets Large Rocket/Missile use Large Jetpack use Beautiful mapping. What is the big deal breaker for the game?

Other than that, indie devs are fucking awesome, before they sellout.

holy buttfuck this looks amazing

I want to love how this game looks, but as much as I am a fan of mechs, it looks like any other FPS but with Mechs. If there was a mod that replaced the models with ones from games like CoD the only difference would be shooting rockets off your shoulders and using a jetpack. They need something unique, maybe a leash-like weapon from Bulletstorm.

U3 is awesome.

pleasedon'tsuckpleasedon'tsuck this game looks absofuckinglutely amazing.

It's looking plain awesome, going to get it the day it comes out. (If PC) Really reminds me of Phantom Crash / S.L.A.I.

Instant buy.

Wow, that looks like CGI quality.

Holy fuck the second video was awesome.

Saw the announcement trailer a while back, been wanting ever since.

Game looks fucking [I]awesome[/I]. I hope for something as far as MechWarrior style customization. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

Anyone else see the mech in the second video like about 3/4s in, it look like it was folding up. Any idea what it was doing, cause to me it looks like it was interrupted.
