Hawken is all about mechs... and virtual reality. We caught up with senior producer Paul Loynd to discuss the game and Oculus Rift.

"Our major push right now is coming out of open beta. We've been spending a lot of time taking the feedback from our players as well as getting some feedback from them on new content that we've been working on. And basically just crafting what we'll be considering our 1.0. Coming out of open beta, taking that tag off and considering ourselves a fully launched product. That's a big thing for us."

Looking ahead Meteor will be looking to add more mechs and more maps - content to the game frequently, but there is also Oculus Rift support on the horizon.

"Working with the Oculus guys has been awesome. Especially for a game like Hawken where that technology makes a lot of sense. You're inside of a mech, so the things that you can do with the Oculus, being able to look around inside the cockpit. Get a feel for that mech that you're piloting and just the sci-fi element of our game really lends itself well to the Oculus Rift technology. They've been a great partner for us, eventhough our integration is only in an alpha state right now, they have been there very step of the way with us to help get the technology integrated and help it work with our game."
