I just read an article on it over at IGN, I requested multi Cpu support, Eyefinity gold cert. and DX11 support..

hey, a guy can have a dream can't he...

The latest UDK is capable of all 3 of those.

Who's going to implement it given that it will almost double the production time to make the above for the PC and the short bus version for the console dullards..? I hope someone does, and if it's a good game I will support them like crazy but I doubt EA or Activision will allow one of there production houses to develop a PC specific title outside or in parallel with the console version, why that might cut into their $220 million profit from last year..

I remember playing the Armored Core series on the PlayStation back in the days and had some good times battling it out...good times. I just saw the the two footages of the work-in-progress. The graphic are pretty cool and great sound fx, so mechy.

I cant wait for this thing to to come out for the PC. I'm seeing that Xbox release was 31 Mar 2011. When it comes out I hope it's surround screen friendly. That said I would support these guys, look like a game I can have fun in.

Some game-play screens...

it has a very Aliens meets Anime ( Outlaw star/Vexille/Appleseed) feel to it, and yeah the sound engineering is awesome. I hope they make it 5.1 my Tritton 5.1 pro's would be SO happy...

I think my online pilots name for this game will be ' Vash the Stampede '

Just want to add a little update on this new mech combat fps.

Adhesive Games creator Hawken was spotted at E3 2011 and interviewed by G4. Hawken sets itself apart from traditional mech games as a first-person shooter that's multiplayer only. Art Dir. Khang Le treats Kevin Pereira and Candace Bailey to a gameplay demo of this indie game's maps, Siege mode, hints of RTS, and big robot mayhem.

Here is the link to the interview:

Bah, they lost me, when they said 'non configurable ' this is basically MW2 with a mech skin now. no interest any more.. I was SO excited for awhile. Might as well just play front mission evolved.

They need to stop saying HALO every time they are interviewed about this. Halo multiplayer is a retard game for console using children.

They have a year to make this game better then it appears to be.

Oh, haven't seen anything on multi-screen support for this BTW, The FOV is low which is a good thing. Keeps the scale looking realistic.

that looks like it will be a LOT of fun to me. yeah, customization is sweet thing to have for multiplayer games, but i don't think i would let that stop me from enjoying this game. also, i think it'll be a great deal more intense than MW could ever be (for the person who said it is like MW with mechs).

This looks sweet as hell. It screams for Eyefintiy Support.

Gave it a shot using one of 10,000 redeem code - "AlphaDog"

Detects and applies multi-monitor resolution fine, but World FOV and cockpit FOV are vert-.

Opening HawkenEngine.ini and changing the line "AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainXFOV" to "AspectRatioAxisConstraint=AspectRatio_MaintainYFOV" fixed the external world view, but the cockpit view remains untouched and unusable. So close, yet so far.

Sure, it's still at "alpha 2" stage, so I certainly can't hold it against them, but... I'm skeptical.

I can confirm this using nvidia surround. You can select your res in game, but like a lot of unreal engine games, it's vert- Exactly like transformers etc. It will be awesome in surround (like every freaking game) but yeah I did put in a suggestion for it. I don't know how Hayden and Helifax etc do their magic with this engine. I've looked through the *.ini file and I only know some basic stuff....I'm not sure if it's even possible to adjust the FOV within the *.ini file. I did find a section that allows for secondary monitors, but yeah.

Thanks for the heads up on the alpha code, Abram. I tried it out and it's disappointing that Hawken is yet another vert- Unreal engine game. I sure hope that Unreal Engine 4 natively supports hor+ behavior if it's anywhere near as highly adopted as Unreal Engine 3 has been.

Hmm how can I get a copy of the game? I would like to give it a try and maybe I can fix the Surround/Eyefinity problems for it:) I did sign up but cant seem to find a way to download the alpha/beta etc:)

Anyone knows?

Have you tried "AlphaDog"? I signed up a few weeks ago but never god a code. I searched for "Hawken Codes" and came across n article at IGN with saying that AlphaDog should be good for 10k redemptions. I also read on the forums that simply asking for a code on those forums has worked for some. Mention that you use a multi-monitor setup (even if you don't), as that may help your chances . I didn't even see when it was posted, but it worked for me.

Justg sign up at teh forums, and after logging in at the main Hawsken page, you should see "Redeem Code" at top-right.

Some .ini files have a a couple other FOV instances, but messing with those haven't improved the cockpit. There's also a couple threads on their forums about it. I guess I'll try again with the eBeta.

I tried AlphaDog...didnt work for me:(( I will look in the forums;)) when I have the chance:) Ty for the Tip.

Post by **Bifurk8** » 01 Oct 2012, 20:36

I had to try AlphaDog several times before it worked for me. It was originally returning some nasty looking errors.

Hey there:)

Tried it again and it worked:) I managed to download the game and install it. I will have a look at it in the following day:) I hope I will be able to fix some aspects from it if not all the issues:)

Best Regards,
Helifax
