Hawken Interview & Mek-Fu Controller
Saved one of the best for Last! Check out one of my most Anticipated Games wrapping up my coverage for E3 2012! Hawken plays beautifully and is an intense fast-paced free-to-play Mech game! Plus check out the most bad ass mech controller ever! Move over Steel Battalion, we just might have a new ultimate way to experience Mech Combat!
Hawken
12.12.12 Mark your calendars! I got some hands on time with Hawken and had a ton of fun, it plays so well. Mech fans rejoice!
Mek-Fu Controller
Take note Steel Battalion: Heavy Armor, THIS is how you do a Mech Controller! If you don’t think this is one of the coolest gadgets you’ve ever seen you don’t have a pulse! I really hope its something that’s affordable, close to what the original GOOD Steel Battalion game cost.

Wow, a great controller with 2 hot girls
The 2 hot chicks comes with the controller, right?
excited about the controler.cant wait..
and on another note..joe..please tell me u hit on those girls HAHA…
Omg hot girls
[...] – Mech Game Controllers – Mek-Fu (Hawken) and Razer Artemis (Mechwarrior [...]
JOE DO A DAYZ REVIEW FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Damn, Hawken looks awesome, like mechwarrior, yet different.
That controller does look kick ass. Imagine Mechwarrior online with that! It will probably be like $300 though. The guy seemed really nice.
Have you guys seen this one?
Razer Artemis: http://www.razerzone.com/artemis
Video: http://youtu.be/NMqO_k5B2LE
Maybe not as cool, but anyway!
Joe, long time fan here. Ads in the middle of the video? Come on man. Don’t cobra commander us. We look to you to fight this bullshit.
Wow that controller looks cool. Now I want the game because of the controller, not the other way around!
If this thing pays off and lives to my expectations, price won’t be an issue to me. It is about time a gaming accessory that actually has high quality and actually delivers (unlike those kinect/eye toy things).
What about the PS move for less than a $100($50 w/ PS3 Bundle) and for what it does its pretty sweet.
But yeah that thing looks so amazing!!!
Who are the 2 hotties?
he joe you should do a another interview with the creaters of ac3 and ask tham if you can throw the tomahawk at bad guys
looks amazing, but I’m afraid to play it cause of the mega fast pace, I get motion sickness easy
looks awesome reminds me of armored core on steroids
holy…err…to playhawken.com I guess?
hells yes½
Lol its being relesed on my birthday 12.12.12 COOL
Wow.
That’s it, I’m saving up for a PC right now!
BUY ME THAT!!!!!!!
as a old school player the Mek-Fu Controller has great appeal to me (especially after my old sidewinder force feedback 2 joystick died /cry)
the fact you can detach the joysticks and just use it as a regular keyboard is very cool.
only slight dampner for me is how many games can take advantage of this system i suppose using one joystick as a throttle and the other as a flight stick so you can use it with the older games ie edge of chaos
12.12.12…. My birthday
I am really looking forward to this 
sold
I demand more booth babe footage.
I don’t trust that Cheng person, I love Mechs and played a lot of Mechwarrior games.
an have fun with any game u love without wasting more money on it with some “Golden” controller.
But i will never use this abomination, just fantasize the future robots are controlled with sexy small keyboard&mouse
Oh well it’s just me, broke ass student with no money to spare on such crap, but u go ahead and have fun with it =]]
Yeah it could be pricy (i’m in the same boat, paycheck to paychek). But the thing is everyone is thinking of the old steel battalion game that pretty much the only way to play it was to get the controller. A good thing though that the mek fu guys are promoting that can’t be quoted for the steel battalion controller (or other peripherals) is multi role capability. So while expensive it’s not just limited to Hawken, it can be used with other games (i’m kind of hoping they make it compatible with flight simulator). So while you might spend alot, you can make use of it in other functions and making it worth the money you’ll spend on it. How many other peripheral devices can make that claim.
I really like those guys from “smaller” companies, they sound way more sincere than people from big companies (I’m looking at you Nintendo). Dude doesn’t know the price, so he just says that, and he also says that they are trying to make it even cooler, not selling something that’s not even finished.
And also, it looks AWESOME! Definetly wanna try to use it. I’m just sad to think that here in Brasil, it may cost probably 3 times the real price.
Yeah its a good thing someone like Joe went to E3. I think they’d have to pry my drooling face away from the glass case of that controller.
Only problem with the controller is that, well, it seems like a huge money sink for something that MIGHT help you play a little better than with a Madcatz 360 controller, or with mouse and keyboard. The whole point of the controller with Steel Battalion was to create a realistic mech simulator, with situational buttons and startup procedures. As a result, FromSoftware had to create a monster of a controller to meet that specific goal.
Hawken will probably be a lot more casual than that, and at least most common controls could probably be mapped to Madcatz, and only a few buttons that you might need to use like once will be needed to be put on the keyboard. Simply more controller than you will actually need to use for any game, unless you can mod a Steel Battalion rom to accept it.
it looks lik the controller for the first steel battlion on the original xbox. except this looks a lot more buttony. i want this so much lol.
good thing the game is free cuz the controller looks like too much for me to efford :/ i hope i can buy it
FKIN AWESOME! ‘nough said.
God damn that controller looks awesome! You looked like a little kid that just got told the family holiday will be including a stop for a tour of an ice cream factory before heading to Disneyland!
Oh my freaking god..
I am drooling all over my keyboard with excitement!!
I can’t wait to play this game. And it’s Free 2 Play!?!!?¤=)¤POQOMG!”!?=)!1
Hope i can afford that controller.. if not ill have to think of some way to earn a little extra money.. MUST. HAVE. THIS. GAME
