How cool would it be to have a simulator for Hawken?  I'm talkin' foot pedals, joysticks, the works.  Ideally, you would integrate the Oculus Rift or another VR headset to really get the experience.

 

I personally have a chair simulator that I've built from scratch, but I'd really enjoy using the Oculus to complete the setup.

 

Capnjosh, what's the word on VR integration!?

Didn't the Oculus work for the shortest period of time? or was that another thing the old devs started but never finished.

They had it working on DK1, but I think the lead developer passed away in a car accident before they could finish.  I'm wondering if anyone else has picked up on the project yet.

i feel this would be cool, but ridiculously expensive.

Actually, DK1 works.

 

As for the further supports.....Hey how long has it been since last major updates? 15 months plus?

 

So....not anytime soon. 

 

Ah...and joystick and so? Someone out there is working on it. 

 

Wanna know how it feels? I recall a video that someone playing hawken with a wheel---something like that.

He has the chair frame working in another video, guess he has a set working already.

Now I just hoping someone makes DK2 working.

That sentence is a little too "run-on" for me to know what you're talking about...

Sadly, they are not meant for Hawken.

 

"Hawken is just experimental game"

 

I am trying to convince him though :P

 

 

Dat dodge at 0:51

 

It will be perfect if he can solve lag issue and add foot pedals+vr support

lately I wanted to start a topic about Arcade as a possible market for hawken overseas. My experience from travelling to japan and went to tokyo city, I saw some major arcade action there. With all the robot hype overthere, I.E Gundam which actually have battle pods, if hawken would somehow create their own, I'm convinced they would be a great investment. Arcade are still strong and ever growing in japan. So could hawken. Different products for different cultures/countries same game.

Hi everyone:

 

I'm the guy made that motion platform and find a way to run hawken with it which claisolais talking about :)

 

Glad you guys like it ~~

 

It is a little mistaken that claisolais said, I'm not meaning that hawken is just a experimental game, actually I'm tried some COOP bot destruction games and the platform works great, my friends just love to play it and can't stop, even someone never played Hawken before.

 

But it does giving some problem when playing it on the platform, because of the different control devices, it is hard to against other player that using keyboards and mouse or even a gamepad, I never beating down a mech when I'm on the platform playing VS mode :P

 

LOL... This program still working in progress and I'm trying my best to let the platform works better~~

 

More video please follow my youtube account, will share more video very soon!!

 

Any question of it please let my know ~~

 

Thanks
