>Not Chrome Hounds
Wake me up when the mech genre is /actually/ saved.
What went wrong?
hawken was pretty good
is this a reboot of the same game of something different?
>hawken
>2019
Yeah, not interested in your F2P skinner box.
A fucking what now? They're releasing this AGAIN? Fuck me this game just won't stay dead.
Had a bit of fun with it but the grind was annoying and the game was dying. Hope this time they can make something decent out of it.
What are some current gen mech games for consoles?
the group that owns 505 games publishing + other publishers and studios will re-release it
that pic is from the april investors brochure
I think they will re-publish it under the 505 games brand
titanfall
and uhhhhhhhhh
It was CoD with a mech cockpit UI in a scene that was already saturated with shooters
So no changes to make sure it won't die instantly again? Suits really are retarded
This is good news. Hawken was pretty good desu, the sound and art design was amazing. I loved just cranking the volume and use the heavier weapons
Give me one guarantee that they won't fuck it up again within 6 months of terrible patches like the last Hawken.
did you read the brochure picture or are you retarded?
they are doing big changes to it
including pve mode
Hawken was good at release.
We don't talk about what happened after release. Because that was definitely not good.
Basically this but it did at least have a weighty feel to it.
Oh shit, I loved Hawken, even after they ruined it with the patches. Here's hoping this one fares better.
>objective-based pve to maximize revenues without being 'pay-to-win' & to create sustainable longterm product growth
sounds like the pvp will be pay to win but "its fine because there's a pve mode"
>Large population of gamers
Fuck yes Hawken is back.
we already knew this when Mech Warrior 5 was shown off
Will mechs feel like regular humans runing around in mech clothing again?
To it me it sounds like the redesigning the game to primarily be a PvE experience.
Who else here fuck mech simulators and all in for action mech games?
What did I miss? I remember being an annoying little shit as Infiltrator and having a lot of fun. I remember dropping and forgetting the game around the end of closed beta.
Sorry I have no idea what that means. I played in 2012 and there were virtually no story and it's mainly multiplayer area shooter that's limiting what being a mech can do. It's basic.
>without being p2w
Lets see how long that lasts.
It started as a feelsgood stompy bot game with decently fast movement but still tons of weight and heft behind it. then it became boring soulless compfag deathmatch simulator with everyone zooming around like spergs. oh and fuck technician
>Objective-based PvE to maximize revenue without being 'pay-to-win'
>PvE
What, is it another squad based hoard game or whatever
>PIGwarrior 5
>PGI
lmoa
the opnly good thing is that as soon as it releases along with the MW5 Unreal SDK they will remake MW Living Legends as a mod for MW5
PGI big man has already given them the greenlight
>f2p
Kek
The people behind Living Legends got hired for Scam Citizen
Hawken was just Call of Duty with a thin veneer of mech weaponry. It was garbage, and that's why it died.
I only played alpha and right after release, you might be right
yoooo fuck yes thank you op for sharing this news I loved playing this shit
its now community maintained
That's a recipe for disaster
not really
they are very dedicated and brought back the current LL mod from the brink and added a shitton of content
the problem is the engine being an outdated hard to mod piece of shit but all of this will change with the Unreal MW5 SDK
t. someone in bed with some of the current community developers
We need a high fidelity game that requires and comes with a well made cockpit controller. I dont care if it wouldn't be profitable, just fucking do it already
>F2P
And ruined
yeah, but does it have PRONOUNS?
What the fuck is a nashʞen?
>enhanced mech customization system for deeper monetization streams
Yeah, that's exactly what I want in my games. Monetization streams. Christ, fuck F2P.
>turning this game into Warframe
I approve
>THE MECH GENRE IS SAVED
I'd always wanted deeper monetization streams and enhanced KPI's in my mech games.
>epic store exclusive
I can see it now, I'm too jaded to care
what's Living Legends?
>tencent store
plsno
can you play as Stephen Hawking?
They're actually making their own space game now (Solar Warden)
Wasn't Hawken just a shitty modern shooter with jetpacks and no actual "piloting a mech" featured
Nah, that looks like fucking garbage. PVP looks un fun as fuck.
>re-releasing another dead game
Yikes
Mech games just aren't fun. They're either clunky sim shit that require a VR headset, two joysticks, gas pedals, brakes and a clutch pedal or they're janky cowadooty simulators with everything that made CoD fun removed.
>Nashkei
>Hashken if you're being pedantic
What the fuck did they mean by this?
>the mech genre is saved
It never died and only tankfags say otherwise
>Mech games just aren't fun
>what I dont like isnt fun and you should stop enjoying it too REEE
>F2P
It's dead, Jim.
> you should stop enjoying it too REEE
Not like there's anyone playing them to begin with
>F2P
So it'll be full of pay2win microtransactions, despite them claiming it won't be. No thanks.
I miss old robocraft
M.A.V my niger
Yea Forums will get to the point where it falls in love with vidya again. They’ll weep with tears muttering “how did I ever leave you .. !!”
Call me when they give us a zeta gundam game with space battles and all.
>It was CoD
...so you died in three shots?
>It was CoD
>large population of gamers
Sounds pretty cocky. Almost like I don't want to play it now lest to feed into their sense of entitlement.
>i-it's PvE so it's not pay-to-win
Uhhh...
So they're turning it into Mechframe or what?
Honestly I just want the destruction system system implemented. I've missed this game.
Warframe with mecha sounds fucking great, if they do that I'll get in.
>Enhanced mech customization system for deeper monetization streams
>deeper monetization streams
Uhhhhh...
THIS IS COMING BACK TO PC? JESUS CHRIST THIS IS THE BEST TIME LINE, FUCK ME. First Classic WoW, then Master Chief Collection, then motherfucking City of Heroes and now HAWKEN? God bless.
Please for everything that is fucking sacred please be real
that's all I wish
Just stating facts, user. The games are dead for a reason.
You can't fuck up what's already fucked.
I just hope it's toaster friendly like the first game, the graphics weren't that good but as long as it I can run it it should be fine
>Responding to bait
>PGI STILL has the rights to the mechwarrior IP and is still milking 55 year old german men for all their worth in gold mechs and consumeables
fuck this and fuck their shitty development cycle. Their artstyle went from tolerable to absolute shit laserboxes and now we're stuck with it. I want out
when is the next AC game...im tired of waiting....
Yes. Basically titanfall without the fun part of titanfall, infantry combat.
That user is right. They updated it to be more class based and make combat quicker with less weightiness before it finally died. They ruined it with poor balancing and trying to make a mech game grab the shooter crowd and alienating everyone in the process.
>Warframe with mecha
That's redundant.
>hawken
>again
The fuck, I thought that came out fucking ages ago. The fuck happened.
>Focus on pve and differenciate mechs
So they want to make a warframe, mechwarrior edition. And they will fail, like others did.
Hawken should have just been a game that came our costing $60 and had a campaign and multiplayer as well
Free to play games suck
this PDF is a virus, don't download it.
Remember when they removed the cockpit displays and then just made a generic HUD for all mechs?
It missed the point of the game so hard, that I considered the developers irredeemably incompetent.
I miss this game I played the shit out of it.
After watching this, not much hope for it.
youtube.com
they did fucking WHAT
the cockpits were the biggest reason I played that and they fucking removed it?
>"Soft" launch
fuck any game that does this
>multiple view options are bad
You're a retard.
Perhaps you misunderstand.
I'm talking about the displays on the cockpits, not the full cockpits themselves.
Most elements from the cockpits such as health and fuel were no longer built into the mech, but instead a HUD element.
Also, if you're suggesting that this game would've been better in 3RD person, then you also misunderstood why people loved the game in the first place.
Here's hoping this version of the game is less expensive to play, or even better, is a $20 release with DLC mechs over time kind of like Rainbow Six Siege is now.
They are bad, if you have third and first person in a shooter you're dumb to use first person as you can see around corners with third person
Warframes aren't mecha. They're remotely controlled biological puppets. By mecha I'm referring to big robots.
Nigga it had million times CoD's TTK.
It would have been better with a third person option, along with a floating HUD and no cockpit.
Never had to do that shit in Mechwarrior.
But OG Hawken devs are doing some fantasy ayylmao open world survival thing right now. Well, at least some of them.
t. never played PigWarrior Online
Enjoy your nerfed jumpjets in a singleplayer game lmao.
Also
>your coop buddy can't customize his own mech
FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG FUCK PIG
>They're remotely controlled biological puppets
So are EVAs.
yeah, that sounds great
hehe cockpit
>muh IP that had some good titles 50 years ago
Every franchise's soul has expiration date after which it turns into cash cow for literal whos. It's time to finally accept it ignore any nostalgiascam.
>EVAs
>remotely controlled
Yeah but EVAs are bigger and more robot-y.
I feel like at least some of the appeal of mecha is that they're big. If they're not big then you just have iron man. You can argue about how stompy or clunky they should be, from ZOE's gliding ones to the walking boxes from Btech but size is pretty important.
I'd say something Scopedog size is minimum for being considered a mech as opposed to power armour or a suit.
I'll play it if they add VR.
>nintendo can still do things with their breadth of ip's and still feel fresh except f-zero
to be fair that's all I really have as far as solid proof that it's possible. Nostalgia is a powerful thing, but piggy have scammed everyone
Your best bet would be titanfall 2, and even then that's not inherently mech-based.
The campaign is absolutely worth your time, as it inherently IS a mech-based game, but the multiplayer can feel lacking at points. It's imbalanced, and varies greatly between PC and console - since movement and wallrunning and bhopping is easier on a keyboard, on console you'll find more players acting as if it's call of duty-lite and playing it as such.
It's easy to shit on them, but there you go.
You can just do it for him you fucking weirdo
If there's any takeaway from HAWKEN it's customizing my fucking mech's cockpit
adding ramen cups and shit is based as fuck
Do it yourself you entitled crybaby.
>wahhh why aren't people making games that wont make money
Fuck off with this attitude.
>dey hav 2 b BIG
Now you're splitting hairs like a retard.
I thought Hawken died, what the fuck
only VR is bringing me back to this game
I've been keeping up with the community q&a's. From what I can tell its going to be pretty meh, a great deal of what could make the game interesting and fun isn't happening. It's set in a very fucking interesting universe but there isn't going to be a real way to interact with it. There isn't even a console or something to learn about lore in game, they could just make an ingame link to sarna or something, but no. Meh, im sure it'll be fun for a few playthroughs at least. I'm really hoping the clan invasion stuff they've been hinting at is as fun as it sounds.
Warframe with mecha sounds like warframe.
Mechs are only fun when they are customizable, at least with many different weapon slots, at best having replaceable arms, legs etc.
Play MW4:M it's old but fun.
Too aggressive micro transactions
You could watch Nerd Slayer's vid on it if you really care
I mean, when I say 'warframe with mecha' I'm kind of assuming it would come with the stuff that makes mecha games fun and which Hawken already had if I remember right (customisable mecha, heat management, mecha 'feel', basically all the stuff good mecha games have). But with decent PVE modes and a long form story and all that stuff as well.
>mech games
>for consoles
hahahahahaha
Funny joke user.
There's been like two good mech games for console ever.
a number 9 large
>current gen
Not sure about that, but there are tons and tons of GOAT tier mech games for older consoles
Honestly, Hawken had a lot of good ideas and it was a worthy successor to carry the torch for the mech genre.
It just released in a really bad format and with a horrid monetization scheme.
Release it as a full retail game, no F2P bullshit. Put a single player campaign, maybe some co-op and have a go.
>customisable mecha, heat management, mecha 'feel', basically all the stuff good mecha games have
You saying ZOE2 is shit?
No, I'm not. ZOE 2 is a good game. You know what, fuck me, all I wanted to say was that I would enjoy a pve game that's like Warframe in it's structure but feels like Hawken to play. That's all. I guess I'm a fucking retard and a faggot for thinking that and trying to say things I don't know anything about and should kill myself.
Calm down dude just learn how to articulate your thoughts a little better.
Mech games should have subsystem damage.
What's the point of being in a giant robot if you can't keep going after getting an arm blown off?
Fine, sorry. I just didn't realise that people considered Warframe a mecha game, it never gets brought up in mecha game threads and rarely if ever gets mentioned on /m/.
That requires slowing down and actual mech-sims have been abandoned since fucking 2000.
>F2P
Hard pass. Also OP is a shill.
>enhanced mech customization for deeper monetization streams
>deeper monetization streams
>post a leak/news about a videogame genre I love with all my heart
>get called a shill
sometimes I really hate this board
Daemon X Machina hopefully
I wonder, let's check the list of absolute garbage multiplayer games:
-sniper that kill from pixel distance because it's fun to die to a pixel: check
-annoying healer that drags the fuk outta the match even though it makes no sense the heal mechs: check
-fast guy that constantly gets behind people just to kill someone before he dies, does this every time he spawns: check
-tank guy that always has a healer behind because have never seen that in games: check
Yep, your game is garbage, may as well be a reskinned TF2 but with more hp, can't wait until it dies again.
I thought I was the only one to pin that feel, it was a weighty game that turned into CoD with mech having virtually no weight to them.
The fact that it's PvE and not just 5v5 deathmatch like the original has me cautiously optimistic.
It's to be expected, there isn't a single genre with more disappointing games than the mech genre.
>I Can't Believe Is Not AC!
What is it called?
It's okay, user. I still love you.
>Hawken was originally free to play
>Obviously unaware of Hawken's background
>Shilling a free game
Go back to your Smash thread little zoom zoom.
>shilling a free game
>f2p
>saving anything
lol
>deeper monetization
They're not even hiding it from the goyim now.
I liked the video and decided to check out the guy's channel
thanks for the recommendation, I'm loving them shitting on the chinese
youtu.be
I played the demo it was alright, can't wait to see how it goes in multiplayer.
I mean, if From's not gonna do it, somebody else might as well stand up to try their hand.
Titanfall 2 is raw kino
all i really remember is i came back to the game and everyone ran snipers that essentially 1 tapped you and it was somehow even less of a mech game then it started as
the game started off actually pretty good but they just kept adding or doing dumb shit.
asking the real question
he's pretty decent but he plays up the detective bit a little too much for my taste
Colors are very washed out, but that aside it looks interesting enough, I'l keep an eye on it.
Thanks.
You misunderstand, I'm really excited for the game. Like you said, if From is not going to do it, someone else had to.
Is just fun to poke fun at it though.
This sounds like another blacklight retribution in the making. And we all know how that ended up.
>multiplayer open world survival crafting game
Don't we have a billion of these already? When will they stop?
>And we all know how that ended up.
Making a profit and have the developer go on to make one of the most anticipated sequels to a well-loved cult classic?
>Strong F2P system
fuck off cunt
>HAWKEN
YES
