Topic: Hawken

PC Gamer just dropped this video on their web site and it makes me happy in the pants.  Inside-the-cockpit style combat in awesome looking mechs instead of spiderbots!

Re: Hawken

Nice game by the look of it but at best it will be another FPS game but instead of playing as a human/vampire/guard you play as a big robot. Yay.

Robots in Perpetuum don't have cockpits and while it would have been nice to always have the camera glued to the front of your robot and more emphasis on using the radar and a better radar icon system. Providing it as a optional camera angle might be nice and make travel a little more fun I can't see it being used in combat.

Re: Hawken

I don't think the mechs acutally have cockpits, they are robots with sensors.

Compared to the fact that they weigh more than the buildings they're next to, they sure are agile.

Re: Hawken

The game seems to be something like "Global Agenda vs. Mechwarrior"... first one was pretty much fun though...

Re: Hawken

Global Agenda always looked terribad to me, but that may be because i've only seen a couple of carebears play it so never seen the pvp in it

Re: Hawken

I got Global Agenda in a STEAM sale for $7.50 and was playing it before I started Perpetuum (No sub required any more).

There is no PVE in it outside the single starter zone unless you count gear grinding (which is all for PVP).  All there is to do at a certain point is queue for Tribes/TF2 style FPS-PVP.  It's really not an MMO at all and gets pretty tired after a short time.

Their RISK style corporate map control stuff is kind of a joke since it's constantly reset and often times no one shows up to fight (heh that part is strangely familiar).

They recently went F2P which means I will never go back personally.

<GM Synapse> please don't abuse our fresh players before blowing them up. And for god sakes, don't do that after it!
