Make sure you stay Tuned till the very end for a question that I posed to him. You don't want to miss it!
Sorry for my Mic Volume. I'm still fine tuning my Recording Settings.
About the game: Hawken is a mech-based first-person shooter. The game takes place in a dystopian human-colonized planet industrialized to the point of collapse, in which the hunt for resources has become a battle for survival.[5] The player assumes the role of a pilot of a bipedal battle mech, armed with a variety of ballistic cannons and missile weaponry. Relatively agile, these machines are also equipped with booster jets that allow them to travel faster and hover in short jumps. Unlike many other first-person shooters, weapons will have unlimited ammunition, but are prone to overheating during sustained fire. Overheating will shut down all weapons of the mech, forcing the player to find a safe place to recover. It will be possible to choose alternate weapons, equipment and upgrades for all mech types to match a play-style or to fill a specific role in a team. In combat, the player will be able to side dash, boost, and make 180° turns to compensate for the slow movements of the mech, which will in turn deplete the recharging fuel gauge rapidly.[6] Turrets are also featured in the game as two types: stationary and placeable. Stationary turrets will be aligned to the team which activates the turret, while placeable turrets can be picked up and placed around the map by anyone.
