Wonder if this will make a noticeable impact on population.  So far the stream-promotion efforts don't seem to have had much effect.  Hope for the best!

It is^^ but it didn't get any update since Reloaded bought it (and for a long time before that). If I was a new player, I would check when was the last update, what are the reviews (which are very positive on steam), when was the release date, i.e if it's worth getting into it

If I played that game a long time ago but don't play it anymore and I stumbled into that stream, I would check what's new. If nothing new, why bother

I watched the stream a bit last night. It was really cool because it reminded me of the first game or two when I started playing. Oh shiiit this assault has an auto cool down awwwwwwweeeee-yeeeeaaah. Fun stuff to think about now that I have a little time under my belt. There were a few people watching who said they were downloading the game so we'll see. Doc seemed to like the game although he is an mmo player. If he streams it a few more times I don't think it would hurt the game.

I don't think its really meant to, its just something the staff can do to keep things interesting for veteran players and create a mild media buzz drawing in a few new players here and there.

Noticeable impact won't happen till there is tangible changes / new content with more of real marketing push behind it.

Don't expect updates every week. Big stuff is going to take more than a week to finish or make solid headway on. And updates on trivial work/updates would be kind of pointless.

Also, I would have stopped by if I was around; how'd it go?

From what I saw it was pretty weak sauce.  Watched for maybe 30-45 minutes but honestly it was really boring to watch someone who doesn't understand how to play the game even remotely well.  He had a fairly entertaining personality but that still doesn't make the game look appealing when he constantly dies and rarely gets kills.  I think it peaked ~200 viewers and dropped down to ~100 by the end, if that's any indication.  The code giveaways were a nice thought but were done in a pretty hectic manner, I much prefer the raffle system that's been done in the past.

 

Imo if you want to promote an fps game and draw people in you need to showcase good gameplay so that people know how awesome the game can really be.  Without seeing the high-level potential people will just write it off as another cool-looking but lame game.  Get someone to spectate and commentate TPG matches, or set up hosting on the officialhawken twitch for the more popular hawken streamers like merl, devotion, etc. since these players can simultaneously show off the game in a cool way and answer questions that viewers may have.

Yes yes and yes. I watched that too and if i had to judge Hawken solely based on what i saw there without any earlier experience, i wouldn't touch it.
It is a whole different game past that initial 'what does this button do' phase and promoting just that gives a totally wrong impression.
