I'll be happy with the funnest.


I think its like watching Football

You yell at the players and what-not

How many those who yell can play Pro


Oh and by the way don't leave out the 'Horde' mode
its like standard to have zombies flood out
Good AI

Its a good way to bond with your friends and you dont have to hear smack

So I guess this my reminder of and vote for it

I completly agree with not revealing everything before release!
As Chris stated, companies with waaaay more resources could use any ideas presented for their own games and then release before Hawken becomes available making it appear that Hawken has nothing new to give us!

Plus, I wanna be surprised when I first play the game and not just play stuff that I've already seen!  
I (and UoF) have treated map making in UT3 with the same attitude.  Only glimpses are publicly given until release date so players can experience something new!  Most modding groups work the same as well...and I expect Adhesive to do the same :!:

I really can't wait to see this. I hope it comes out for the 360!

What_ The graphics may be neat, but the game looks and feels like it could handle itself on consoles fine. Only reason it couldn't is because;
1) They have a fuck-ton of controls, like ArmA 2.
2) They have horrible optimization which makes the game lag even on decent gaming PCs.
3) As an Indie Company they have to resort to being their own publisher (Which apparently they have a decent amount of publisher interest towards the game.)
4) They include over 6gb of data, which would be weird for a game that will probably be under 800MB.

Doesn't it run off the UDK engine_ Should be compatible on most current-gen consoles.

Yes the UDK engine is compatible.


Under what sacrifices_ ....

Oh, never mind..lol.

You seem to be the ignorant side of PC gaming. As I said, this game isn't graphically amazing nor does it look like it would be difficult to run on low end PCs (Hell, my old 8600GT could probably run it perfectly fine at 1280x720 with 30fps with the settings shown in the screenshots.) The game is trying to target equal balance on all platforms, especially for digital release through consoles.
You on the other hand seem to think a game like this would be over the top for either the Xbox 360 or PS3, which it isn't. You compared the Unreal Engine to a completely different engine. Just like I said, I won't be surprised if this game releases at less than 800MB.
Don't make this game sound like it's filled with a big budget staff team from a group of developers (Otherwise, check out: Hard Reset! A PC exclusive), its filled with a small team where only one member is being paid. Either way I look forward to this game, not for it's graphics but towards the gameplay and style they take.

That's pure bullshit or simply retarded trolling. It's very hard to tell.

Suffice to take a good look at the initial video of the game. If they teased us with those videos then what's the point of showing something we will never play_ So this is how you lie to your customers_ Is that it_

That's exactly the problem. We will get a downgraded gimped experience. If that's the case, I'm out of the bus.

Another imbecile retort. Seriously why you troll with shit like this_ Tell me. I'm curious. You do realize that no PS3 or 360 game looks like that. You either are trolling or simply are trying to piss people off being a brain dead moron on purpose.

Great, so you are saying that their work is just a map pack for Unreal 3 with skins of mechs_

Now I can tell you're trolling, or just don't understand Computer Hardware.

Why on earth would you say that in regards to, "An 8600 GT could probably play this game at 30fps_" Watch when this game goes with,

Speculated Hardware Need said:

Minimum requirements: Core 2 Duo/Athlon Dual x64 Processor at 1.8GHz or better with an Nvidia 6800/Radeon 2400 or better Video Card. Integrated Video Cards are not supported.

Both the PS3 and Xbox 360 have better specs, it won't handle 60fps but it should handle 30fps at 1280x720 without any issue or scaling (Of course being the first publicly ported game, it would probably end up getting stutters and other problems. As well, I'm not saying it wouldn't scale to 1920x1080, but both consoles could handle 720p natively.)

You do realize that this game isn't going towards 'graphically stunning,' correct_ Will I have to mark every issue in an In-game screenshot for you to understand_ The game isn't plowing down on it's own well defined and modified engine, it's through a well built and expansive Engine with it's existing features.

MechMechanics1 said:

No, I'm saying they didn't use anything from the Unreal game. They used textures and other features that already came with the Unreal Engine. Prime example of another indie game, Sanctum. Sanctum is 700MB and uses custom made models and textures, along relatively detailed scenic maps.

Only good side to a PC-only release is that it could and should give free DLC along with constant updates (Such as patches, bug fixes, news and important information) without Sony/Microsoft/Publisher setting guidelines. Hardware wise, consoles could handle this game fine; Business wise, they could more or less end up like Kaos studios and their latest game, Homefront.
Honestly (With of course, my opinion), you're safer releasing on the PC first and launching on the consoles when you're more known. If all goes well, they could even end up being their own Publisher/Developer for all platforms.

Things in here are getting a bit messy, my friends. This thread is meant to serve as a news feed. Off-topic discussions will only make it difficult for users to locate the information that gets posted. Please move all conversation that does not pertain to updates, news, and/ or announcements to a dedicated thread or PM. Thanks.

Spare the ironies, please.

Who came with the wishful thinking_ You. Sorry but the consoles can't handle this game as it is. 30 frames for an online game sucks. The difference of frame rate between 60 and 30 is significant. Leave that denial outside of this conversation.

True.
