Vy'drach Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Ever heard of Hawken? If not, too bad. It's an indie game in development and it's basically a mech FPS. Here's some gameplay footage. Anyway, they're going into closed beta, and you can sign up for it. If you sign up via a link provided from someone else, you can help that person, as if they get three people to sign up, they can reserve their names (and the people that sign up get a unique link as well). Anyway, here's my link, needs two more for a name reservation. https://playhawken.com/?ref=64zqsvmv Also, the game is planning on being F2P.

Xortberg Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm somewhat interested, but it looks pretty graphics-intensive and as a guy whose laptop can't even run LoL well on the lowest settings without using Gamebooster, I am a bit worried that I won't be able to play it. I'll give it a shot, and if it works great. If not, oh well. http://playhawken.com/?ref=kbvhitu8 ^My link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 It runs off the Unreal engine, so it might be a graphics hog (that was the problem with Gears of War 1 and 2), but as long as it doesn't have gratuitous amounts of blood (people don't realize just how many things go on in Gears graphically, which is a big reason why it lagged so badly), shouldn't be too bad. Not 100% sure if my PC can handle it, tbh, but damn it all, I'm willing to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vy'drach Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 Well with Psygonis, I got my three required, so feel free to go for Psy so he can reserve his name. Mine'll be Vy'drach on there, and I am happy it lets me use the apostrophe. So few places allow that. Anyway, danke you two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Not a problem. Any idea when the closed beta is gonna start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vy'drach Posted February 7, 2012 Author Share Posted February 7, 2012 No clue. I reckon we'll get an email about it. The actual PC release date is 12/12/12 PC seems to get it for free, while Xbox and Playstation won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Yeah, I noticed the release date on the registration page. Too bad it's only out a week before the apocalypse And it really sucks for console players. But FPS games generally suck shit on consoles anyway compared to PC. And I don't have anywhere to plug in my PS3 anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Oh, yes, I came close to starting this topic myself. I registered off one of DICE's employee's links. Least I could do for my favorite game developer. https://playhawken.com/?ref=6q8g51ou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ala1n-J Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 Niiiice. After MechWarrior 5's cancellation, this might feed my hunger for a mech game! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Icy Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Who else knew about this game in early 2011? I found it searching around for small indie game teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xortberg Posted February 8, 2012 Share Posted February 8, 2012 Considering I've seen a few concerns about graphics, I'd like to recommend Gamebooster. http://www.iobit.com/gamebooster.html Normally, when I run LoL, my peak FPS is somewhere around 15, and whenever anything exciting is happening it drops to <5. Running Gamebooster, it stays at a constant ~45 or so. So, assuming you're on lower graphical settings, it might also help quite a bit with this when it comes out. Just a suggestion.
