Hawken Reborn is a bland singleplayer mech FPS built on a hostile free-to-play model - https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/hawken-reborn-is-a-bland-singleplayer-mech-fps-built-on-a-hostile-free-to-play-model #MultiplayerCompetitive #MultiplayerCooperative #MeteorEntertainment #ScienceFiction #VirtualReality #SinglePlayer #HawkenReborn #Firstperson #earlyaccess #Freegames #505Games #XboxOne #Xbox360 #Shooter #Hawken #mechs #PS3 #PS4 #PC

I'm not kidding by the way. Take a look at this picture from #HawkenReborn and tell me if it looks like it's AI-generated or not. I'll point you, in particular, the hands which seem to be fading away at the edges, the ears which have both different earrings and also fade away at the edges, and the facial structure which is different between different panels.

So the other day I played #HawkenReborn and... Oof. It really doesn't feel like a game that was restored to life because 505 wanted to throw a little bone to the fans while trying to reach a new audience, it feels like a game that was shoved out with as little money put into it as possible to make as large a return as possible. I wouldn't be surprised if every asset in the game was either recycled from Hawken or purchased from the Unreal store. Or AI-generated, like the cutscene art.
