Gaikai to Get HAWKEN before the 12-12-12 Launch Date
Gaikai just announced a partnership with Meteor Entertainment to bring the upcoming title, HAWKEN, to Gaikai’s cloud-based gaming service ahead of the December 12th, 2012 launch date. If you haven’t heard of HAWKEN, watch the videos below. HAWKEN is a free-to-play mech-based FPS built by an indy team using the Unreal 3 engine. It has been generating a lot of interest over the past few year, because.. everyone wants to be able to run around in a mech-suit and blast the crap out of things.
We reviewed Gaikai last year and everything was pretty decent and the latency wasn’t too bad, so I’m curious to see their improvements on the service.
