It may not be all that unreasonable that the play testers would beat out some high MMR pc players on console at least a first, considering the pc folks will have to adjust to the new patch, controller play, and low FPS.

 

Honestly I would probably get beat just because I'm garbage at aiming with my thumb, but if a PC player is already comfortable with the control format I don't see multiple years playing the mechanics at a tournament level being bested just because the weapon combos changed.

 

May be interesting to see how PC players who already use controllers will do. I know Xployt, but IIRC SuperKamikaze and eth0 have at least some time in with a controller. Maybe one of them will volunteer.

 

Also curious: did your QA testers make use of the pages of text and hours of video that are dedicated to Hawken guides, or did they develop their play in the vacuum of the new patch?

Shoot, I forgot about the PC players that use controllers. They'd probably win.

 

It will be interesting to see skill translate from PC to console, though.

Would just depend on the PC players' familiarity with controllers.  Should arrange something with the QA testers and PC players, though - especially since your testers can use their controllers.  They'd be disadvantaged against mouse/kb, certainly, but Hawken's turnrate cap narrows the gap.

Hey Dev sorry to ask irrelevant question but, will the new HAWKEN contain more of the original music. As in, come on! There is so much wasted opportunity here! Such a badass music score can't be wasted!

This soundtrack makes me think they actually considered a campaign mode.
