- sosuke 15y agoHawken looks incredible, I really hope they keep working on it.
- ericd 15y agoThat looks great. Here's hoping they work on the movement physics a little to smooth things out, but it looks like a lot of fun regardless. I'm surprised my favorite indie FPS of the past decade hasn't been mentioned here: Air Buccaneers. Basically it was was a UT2004 mod, an FPS where you can man hot air balloons airships with manually loaded/aimed old-style cannons. Being part of a good team of 2 or 3 on one of those things was a blast. Seems they're updating it: http://www.airbuccaneers.com/ http://www.airbuccaneers.com/
- tintin 15y agoWow! Maybe they will add music, but it has a great atmosphere without music! And the buildings are great!
- mattmanser 15y agoI know it's mechs and all that, but that's a multiplayer-only FPS. And if I'm honest, when you get past the fact it's Mechs, the gameplay looks a little dull to me. The crux of the article is disappointment in the single player campaign.
