why would it end hawken_ its nothing similar at all. that's like saying MWO will "end" hawken.
Is it nothing like Hawken simply because it has the option of not being in the Mech_ I would consider all Mech games competition to eachother if they are in the same genre...FPS, RPG or RTS.
well in that case, Call of duty, team fortress, quake etc ended Hawken before it left the ground...
there are sub genres, and in which case, Armored core, Mech warrior, and Hawken are nothing like eachother. Is aiming for the cod players... sure some people will like it better than hawken, thats inevitable with any game, but for the most part it wont effect them.
also, Hawken is free to play, Titanfall is $60.
Wait, call of duty, team fortress and quake have mechs_ You lost me there. Did you read my entire comment about mech games being competition with eachother automatically no matter what genre simply because of the minority fan base. I fear you either misread my statement or did not read the whole statement. As for Armored core and Mech warrior...yeah, I 100% consider them competition. Heck I would conider AirMech competition even simply because the Mech fanbase is as I said a Minority. Has any online Mech game ever broke 1mil online daily players_ Mechs are like My little pony...there is a "fanbase" and sometimes Mechs just do not appeal to everyone.
Let's also point of the F2P vs Buy to Play comparison.....for instance WoW....it is sub + buy to play and still beats ALL of it's MMORPG competitions both F2P and P2P...probably even if you combined the pop from all of those games lol. Considering the closest competition is SWTOR since it wen't f2p and they announced that it only has 2 mil daily users since the f2p launch. I mean honestly B2P or F2P it has very little effect if the game is simply "that much" better. People will pay.
I mean it is not like I am the first to point them out as competition, almost every MMO site I have seen has compared them and pointed out the obvious competition. I am just simply wondering what the "devs" think as my original statement said. Obviously the majority of Hawken players would blowoff the idea of competition because this is a game they truely enjoy at the moment, which is why I wondered what the devs themselves think.
