Could Sony's Surprise Exclusive Be A Warhawk Sequel?

Gary A Swaby of TheKoalition.com writes: The Internet is buzzing about Sony's new exclusive that is about to be revealed soon. Many people figured it must be Resistance 3, or something coming from Insomniac as they have announced that they are working on two new games. However Insomniac themselves have denied that Sony are going to reveal any of their titles. This leads me to believe that the game could possibly be a sequel to the 2007 online action title, Warhawk.

For weeks now there have been hints that a new Warhawk game is being worked on by Incognito entertainment, mainly from our good friend HipHopGamer. It is beginning to make more sense for a Warhawk sequel to be revealed at this point, as the first one was well received. It has now been nearly three years since the first game, so a new revamp of the franchise would be more than welcomed. From what I got from hearing people talk about the possibility of a Warhawk 2, it seems they want to push a single player campaign as well as the online multi-player portion.

With Insomniac shutting down any idea of a product form their shop getting revealed, and Killzone 3 likely to not be revealed for some time. Warhawk 2 for the Playstation 3 makes the most sense to me at this point. I could be wrong, but regardless I am sure I am right in saying that there is a new Warhawk on the way. Only time will tell, be sure to tune in to Gametrailers TV to find out what Sony's secret will be.

It speculates far too much. Can't just sit back, wait for announcements while looking into what actual news has been release, and in general speculate.

Mr_Bun5164d ago

I am part of that problem...I get sucked into the speculation articles all the time

knifefight5164d ago

Seriously. Seems articles like "Is Company X Developing THIS Game?" or "Will B outsell A in December?" get more love than their real news equivalents oft times, heh.

vhero5164d ago

come on people its a surprise would a warhawk sequel be a surprise?? or any of these other games touted lately like twisted metal etc?? No they wouldn't as there been rumours for months. The point of a surprise is you never saw it coming. So think out the box.. That's why I think they got a deal for Timesplitters 4 or something similar.

Godmars2905164d ago

Yeah, and we've got nth+ articles about nothing. Its the same mentality that's keeping ApocalyPS3 in the news, gave it a name, 3 times longer than it lasted.

DaTruth5164d ago (Edited 5164d ago )

And when a really technical article, like DF's GOW3 AA gets posted, it gets no love and there are five dudes in the comments saying "screw all this technical mumbo jumbo!"

I actually had a good conversation about Alan Wake in a Gow3 thread, because it actually came up in conversation and wasn't brought up by some trolling fanboy!

Tech articles make for the best comments section!

BeaArthur5164d ago

Godmars290...I was thinking the exact same thing before I clicked the link. Nobody has any idea of what it's going to be or if it's something anyone is even going to get excited about, but that doesn't stop anyone from throwing out any idea that would hold water. Here's an idea, why don't we just wait and see what it is and then we can all talk about how great or disappointing it is.

Shadow Flare5164d ago

Just imagine warhawk in space with 256 players. Even if this isn't the announced game, we still know starhawk is coming

The Lazy One5164d ago

wat's stupid is that a warhawk sequel has been heavily rumored for a long time. That would hardly be a surprise.

darthv725164d ago

a sequel to warhawk is supposed to come out called starhawk or something like that. If there is to be a surprise announcement it will be on a game that most likely hasnt seen the light for some time.

No joke but I am all for a new jumping flash or philosoma or maybe a new toshinden. Something from the PS1 days needing a rejuvenation. Like when warhawk was announced for ps3 having come from the ps1 days.

Warhawk was/is incredible...one of the first PS3 games where the sixaxis shines. I would love a sequel!

ThanatosDMC5164d ago

I didnt like the sixaxis controls but im an ace in the c0ckpit. Hmmm... that kinda doesnt sound right...

Anyway, if it's Starhawk there had better be a ton of players. 100+ and i'll feel happy dodging a hailstorm of bullets and missiles.

I rarely used chaff in Warhawk only when i know im going to get hit.

Mr_Bun5164d ago

LOL!
I thought flying with the sixaxis was tight! Then again, I was going through chaff bursts like they were going outta style

DaTruth5164d ago (Edited 5164d ago )

I was a ground soldier! Warhawks were just a means of transportation for me! That tells you how awesome that game was, when you can play Warhawk, without actually utilizing Warhawks and still be incredibly important on the battlefield.

Used to take nodes and defend flags from five guys single handedly!

cobraagent5164d ago

I think its gonna be infamous 2 or even FF13 Versus. How about MGS5? I have no idea of what this suprise is gonna be but i am pretty sure SCE won't let us down

dkgshiz5164d ago

Its been in development for quite some time. Its going to be Killzone 3 I think.

BeaArthur5164d ago

It will most likely be an exclusive so that would rule out MG5 (Raiden) and Versus (which I can only assume will end up multi platform).

dkgshiz5164d ago

StarHawk,Infamous 2, or Killzone 3. I personally think its going to be Killzone 3.

DaTruth5164d ago (Edited 5164d ago )

My first thought was Killzone3 too. But then I imagined Killzone3 popping up behind Jack Trentton on screen in a keynote speech at E3 and now I think it is either Warhawk sequel(whatever they call it) or Infamous 2!

It feels like they wouldn't be doing KZ3 justice if they announced it any other way! And it will also crush the hype of whatever MS shows of Reach when it looks ridiculously better!

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1087d ago

I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.

Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.

titans99991087d ago

My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6691868d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0071868d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt1868d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP1868d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE1998d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint1997d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook71998d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun1998d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir1998d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine1998d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
