Sign up for closed beta. 3 sign ups with the referral link they give you gets you the ability to reserve a name. Pro tip: You can just use fake emails on your own referral link to reserve your own name. Oh, and new gameplay: | ||

Or you could not be a jerk and simply tell three of your friends who might enjoy the game to register at the link... -_- | ||

http://www.joystiq.com/2012/02/27/hawken-developers-raise-10-million-in-capital-to-launch/ Tim Schafer's Double Fine Entertainment has made a lot of noise by getting fans to pay over $2.6 million for them to put together an old school adventure game, but here's a reminder that there are still some reasons to do things the old way. About 7.4 million reasons, in fact: Publisher Meteor Entertainment has reportedly raised over $10 million in funding for its upcoming multiplayer mech game, Hawken. Meteor raised the money by pitching its idea to venture capital firms Benchmark Capital and FirstMark Capital, the same companies that initially invested in the makers of League of Legends, Riot Games. Riot Games later sold for a rumored $350 million. Hawken (which is being developed by Adhesive Games) is also enjoying a nice bit of player interest already, with over 200,000 signed up for the closed beta, and lots more looking forward to the free-to-play launch. Schafer and company have done great things with Kickstarter, but there's still a lot of money to be made through more traditional routes as well. | ||

I have a very limited experience with Gundams, however, what I do know is that they are more humanoid looking suits that are not directly controlled from a cockpit (I think?) and fight much like humans would in a way, if you know what I mean. This is more of actual battlesuits that we may see in a "realistic" scenario. Simple robots, with a cockpit. I'd compare it more of to a first person, slower paced Armored Core over a Gundam, honestly. | ||
