That's just my weird sense of humor for you!

Lol

[Texhnolyzing]

Can't wait for the next dev update! Glad you guys posted this one last month

[Superkamikazee]

So I guess wait for a Hawken re-release or something? Cool?

I think you have to release it once before you can re-release it.

 

But hey, perma-beta hasn't been so bad right?

I just hope that it wont be the Hawken IP that will be on summer sales

Probably 1/2 off sales on $5 a pop MC only keys used to unlock RNG crates that could, but not likely, contain new weapons, mechs, hats or most likely 20k HC.

Now that the cat's out of the bag on Xbox One can we please open up communication again?

That's... that's not how contracts work.

Back on the NDA thing?

[StubbornPuppet]

I highly doubt there's much of an NDA that is blocking basic communications about Hawken.  There is an old adage that can be be adapted here... something about "opening your mouth and removing all doubt."

First fuzzing post of the thread.

 

We just still can't talk about it :)

 

Is it cool, like a Fight Club kind of "don't talk about it"?  yup.

Emphasis mine. 

[ATX22]

First fuzzing post of the thread.

 

Emphasis mine. 

 

Again, if this was an NDA about some big Xbox deployment, they shouldn't be able to talk about all things Hawken on XBOX, not all things Hawken.  Either they have nothing meaningful to add right now, are pulling an ADH/meteor style PR stunt, or someone is agreeing to things they shouldn't over at Reloaded.  

 

Maybe I'm 100% wrong on all fronts, but anything new and meaningful for Hawken is still nowhere to be seen and the silent treatment got old back in the "worth the wait" days.

[DallasCreeper]

I'm still a little optimistic, I definitely don't want to watch this game die, but then again, that's what I've been doing basically since I started playing. 

[StubbornPuppet]

Well, saying "We just can't talk about it." doesn't mean anything without the word "because."  It's a far too frequently used 'coverall' because of it's inherent vagueness.

 

I can't talk about it because...

 

...we all discussed it and agreed that we should just make it a policy not to reveal anything about what we've been doing.

 

...my boss doesn't want me to.

 

...it's a surprise.

 

...etc.

 

So, I'm not being a pessimist or a disturber when I say that I have doubts there is any NDA.  There's probably a company policy and directive that restricts what, if anything, employees can discuss or divulge publicly.

 

I think the most likely scenario is that all of the work done in the last year on Hawken was exclusively for Xbox One... and that nothing has been done to the PC version at all.  They have a very small team - so it's quite reasonable to focus all efforts on a very specific avenue, the one that will actually net the greatest returns.   It's a bit overly-optimistic to believe that any amount of updates, fixes, changes, content additions or whatever will ever bring any kind of a respectable audience to Hawken on PC/Steam - it's been here a very, very long time by online video game standards.  And, frankly, it doesn't have a good reputation.  On Xbox, it gets a fresh start with a fresh audience who've probably never heard of it before.

[dorobo]

Any ammount of updates and changes would surely bring a respectable ammount of audience into pc version  It's just that it was never done.. properly.. and enough

btw that xbox thingy will probably go away in a year when a new console comes out or vr gets bigger. But pc will still be here..

So what is developer team working on right now? An engine change or what?

Hawken with controller? YUCK thats a bad idea, are they making an xbox one verison of hawken? Am I missing something? Do they even have money to make a console version properly or they just goint to fail this game again for no reason? Get the PC version out of the fuzzy bunny it is in then MAYBE go for a port. Is this even true? 

[TangledMantis]

I dont care if ive spent money on this game.. if Hawken opens to a flood of 12 year old console gamers with headsets, ill quit - not that ill be missed but still.

update missed by a week now! 

 

[Ker4u]

It's been a month again, can we get an update?

i made one just for you mate

 

All right, things are moving now.  We had some issues that we didn''t solve, but  we're all still here.  Hawken is still here and lagging.  And quite a bit of progress is still being made every day. We have 1 more big technology hurdles to clear, but given the people we've got on it now, I'm not worried that things will stay the same. 

Second half of 2016  has a big up side for Hawken, and it's going to be a fun ride.
I'm excited, and we're moving into high-gear development. Things like the new patch pipeline have been rediscovered and documented.    We are still  lightyears away from its release  but you will like the results.  We just still can't talk about it :)

 

Anyways, it's going  well :)

I have Rolex's for sale. It's made of black gold and flexible. I'll let it go for the low beta price of $24.95.......that's right $24.95. This is a limited time offer, only available to everyone for the short time of 3 years. Act now and we'll include your beta skin that we'll never give back to you.

Yes!  They are working on a port of Hawken for Xbox One.

 

I think Hawken plays just fine with a controller.  I can't find a single thing in this game that doesn't configure nicely onto a controller.  I'm not even going to acknowledge the mouse vs. joystick aiming arguement for this one, because it doesn't apply - Xbox One is all on a controller.

After the holidays, we're going to start doing some introductions to the team.  We're going to resume more dev streams, and we're going to be ready to start really incorporating your feedback and ideas.  2016 is going to be a good year for Hawken :)
