Does this count as "What we know is coming to Hawken"_

Kind of, but its already in game now.

All you got to do is edit the ini and set the PhysX level to 2 or 3 and enjoy the massive FPS hit and blinding effects.

It'd be nice if I could only have the mech explosion one. Its the only one that looks any good, haha

I don't understand why those particles need to be there, sure they are nice, but it's being used in the wrong places

health orb effects are cool, but everything else either looks tacky/breaks immersion, or hurts gameplay

It's probably just for demo purposes in this video.
Hope they will find ways to use the particles in ways that will not too out of place, like the explosions, the shield and health orbs.
Broken ground and mech debris is nice, but crank it down a bit. "A ton of" is just too many.

Im sure that modding capabilities will come when the game is finished but there is no point to do so until it reaches that point.

If they let us mod mechs I'd build Veritechs from Robotech for the community.

Physx is in the game already its just broken. It does not use the Physx designated GPU as it should and just shoves more work to the CPU. So this feature is already here its just broken.


Though I added a link to Scapes thread to the Advanced graphics will return item in the list as this is an update for that item.

I like the Shied one. (and the energy tower)

I could see the how the mech leaving footsteps that break apart the ground and leave a trail can lead to a gameplay advantage if you have this on.

Damn thanks for reminding me how plain my hawken on LOW with physx off is, lol. :/

[Majic12]

Then again, if you turn it off, it could lead to a gameplay advantage by being able to play with more than three fps.
