I think Hawken looks more interesting, this looks rather bland.

Hawken is a Mech FPS as declared by those who make it, this is a Mech simulator in Mechwarrior style. I'm curious to see which one will have the upper hand in player numbers. Both should do well I think.

I'd think the answer would be Hawken unless it's horrible. 

Mech Simulator has always been a pretty niche genre.

 

Or to put it more percisely... either way it'll probably be Hawken to start (unless awful) Then Mechwarrior 2-3 years down the line.

 

Since while Niche, there aren't going to be many more mech simulator MMOs.
