Hey !
 
Do you know the MEK-FU Controller ? This awesome Hawken Controller made for those who want a highly immersive game ?
 

The MEK-FU Game Controller concept is designed specifically for ‘Mech’ games for gamers who want a full immersive experience. Designed with reference from actual military vehicles, it sports two joysticks, fully programmable buttons, flip switches and a full keyboard to offer gamers an actual Mech-like setup and feel. The MEK-FU is also capable of integrating a mobile or tablet device that acts as a secondary display or main screen.

Yes, we do know about it. Some people said that playing using it gives an effectiveness disadvantage actually. So playing with M/K is actually more effective.

 

Though I truly wish I had one of these!!

This would be so awesome for those people who are so good that they could use a new challenge. Imagine mastering the game using this thing, how cool would that be...

This thing has been in development forever, I highly doubt that it will ever be released.

I think the Mek-Fu controller is another "victim" of the evolutionary changes since 12-12-12. The reality, as I see it, is that this controller was intended for "Hawken the Simulator" not "Hawken the Arena Shooter".

 

If Reloaded keeps Hawken on the "arena shooter" side of the house then controllers like this and the HOTAS simply won't make sense.

If Reloaded pushes Hawken to the "simulator" side of the house then we will likely see controllers like these flourish.

 

It all comes down to Reloaded's vision of the product.

That said, I want to see a match with hawken's best players forced to use joysticks or trackballs or touchpads or something else equally painful, with voice comms.

 

For giggles.

I think that product was just a concept. That or it's in development hell, I've heard nothing about it since they announced it (and I went looking a couple times for info).

[kloeri] And we're done for now with all the rebooting.. except for a single server that will be rebooted when it's done pretending it's a tree.

"Q : Will I be able to buy this product?

A : The MEK-FU Game Controller still stands as a concept at this point and is not available for purchase. However, with the right partners in play, there is still a huge possibility for this product to be launched as an actual product for sale. So stay tuned."

I don't think my wallet is ready for this. Also, as mentioned, unless you get really good with this, hawken is too fast paced.

I'd love trying this on MWO though, *IMMERSION INTENSIFIES*

That's what I've been thinking about lately alot too.

 

I recently played quite alot with a controller and I have to say it: once you lose that confidence in your aim, it makes you play completely differently. Having 12 top tier players in one match, all forced to play with controller, heck, that would be something really silly and super funny to see.

Hey I play with a controller, and it's not that bad. Though I believe I may have my limit with MMR growth using a controller, 1700-1800, but I'm too lazy to get up off the couch to sit at my desktop playing with a kb/m.  :teehee:

 

P.S. Hawken looks fantastic on a 100" screen, and sounds incredible in surround sound with a 12" sub. Duh footsteps, I feelz dem. I'm ok sacrificing my aim for all that.

 

Double p.s., if Hawken was a bit slower paced, less AC action, I'd love using that crazy controller with an Oculus.

If i remember well, i saw a pic of Houruck with this kind of device, maybe the one you got with a console game, Steel Battailon.

I see that possibly aiming each weapon independently .That would change things.

I think it's designed like a console gamepad : one stick for moving and the other for aiming/turreting.

I would break that things trying to use it with an A class mech. Too much range of motion and reaching around for buttons.

If everyone was forced to play with this, it'd be fine.  Otherwise you'd be at a huge disadvatage reflex wise.


To be serious for a moment this is just a joke
