The guys over at Adhesive Games Ltd have given us a few concept pictures to keep us keen, waiting for that all but impossible dream of a good modern mech game.
As you can see from the above pictures, it looks like dark brooding BladerRunneresque Cities and Post apocalyptic ruins are all the rage in Hawken but they sure look nice and I look forward to seeing some more game renders and videos.
Now these Mech concepts look interesting, I like the blend of Mechwarrior like running gear with more real world ablative/ reactive armour. I’m guessing this is some kind of light or scout Mech as itl looks sleek and fast (I would call it a SC-1B Scarab but hey that’s just me)
So for all you Battletech Players waiting for a new game or you players of Heavy Gear, keep your eyes open and check out Hawkens Facebook page for loads more info including some early gameplay vids.
Hip Hip Hooray! A new Mech game is on its way!
Well personally I don't trust people who don't love big bad ass robots... or Dragons. Any self respecting geek loves Robots and Dragons!!!! I've been keeping an eye on this game for some time. It'll be really interesting to see how it develops and where they take it as an idea. Concepts are all well and good but delivering them is a different kettle of fish. I'm rooting for them though!!! ;)
ReplyDeleteYeah me too, Although I love Japanese Mecha I have always preferred the slower Mechwarrior like gameplay you tend to see in Western games.
ReplyDeleteRecently though I think Chromehounds has been the best current-gen mech game, it's just a shame the server was shut down some time ago by Sega. Still worth a couple of quid for the single player though if you can find it in your local game stores bargain bin.
