Indie studio Adhesive Games confirms that discussions about Hawken on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One are already happening in the team.
Expect the game to only work offline right now.
As we trend ever deeper into a world of games that require servers maintained by the developer or publisher, we see more and more games disappearing from the world. What happens when these games are shut down? What does it take for a game to survive beyond this point?
Most modern games that have online components like destiny rely so heavily on co op between players that even if you had a full disc version popping it in and playing won't be a fun experience as you can't play the actual game after hitting a wall with difficulty levels of they even boot
But classic titles like vice city will still be the same in 2049 as they were in 2001 provided you play on a disc not stripped down digital versions that have the soundtrack cut out ten years later
Hawken, the free to play mech shooter has had its servers closed on Steam, but it will remain live on consoles.
This is exactly why only online multiplayer games won't last very long. It's important to have a single player campaign (a good one, not a throw-away trash story) or some kind of offline multiplayer mode.
See a lot of this game
I would try it out in a heart beat
Is this out on pc now?
Seems like it would be a great fit for consoles too. I really hope it happens.
this would a be a great free to play game for consoles , its alot of fun on pc .. very fast paced mech game.
sounds like titanfall?
I think it's free to play on PC. It would be an awesome idea to have console players experience this as well. I feel like, the more consoles start to become like PCs, the better gaming gets for everyone. Games are just being released without much limitations due to hardware.
