As if indie mech-a-thon Hawken's concept of smashing together robots in windswept, industrial landscapes isn't cool enough, it now sits alongside Doom 3: BFG Edition in supporting Oculus Rift, the 3D virtual headset which has reached its Kickstarter goal nearly eight times over.
Rift's funding campaign kicked off its final week with nearly $2 million pledged on a $250,000 goal so far. Backers bequeathing $300 or more receive a developer kit version of the goggles. Luckey's announcement also mentioned a special in-goggle cockpit display for Rift users, which certainly boosts the appeal of strapping on a metallic fanny pack to your forehead.
Hawken launches December 12 as a free-to-play multiplayer game. Be sure to also check out our hands (heads?)-on with Rift as well.
