Starhawk: Is Sony Biting off more than they can Chew?

The Power Review: This game has a lot to live up to, as its predecessor still remains one of the most played games on the PSN, and this is over 2 years after its initial release. Fans of this series are going to expect a lot out of this title, and Sony has chosen to be extremely ambitious by setting this title in space where there is seemingly limitless potential. However, are they shooting themselves in the foot by trying to attempt too much? And what new obstacles does this change in scenery present for this new game?

They have a name of a game, and a concept for the game, and here come the articles already. How's about waiting until we have....I don't know....actual information......until we start talking about it? Let's try that.

iHEARTboobs5480d ago (Edited 5480d ago )

At least lets wait till we hear that Starhawk is actually a sequal to Warhawk!

Edit: I did read the article.

FPShooter5480d ago

I Agree.
seems as if people cant wait to shoot down a SONY title. Its getting ridicules.

UNCyrus5480d ago

READ THE ARTICLE...

I'm just stating that this game has a lot to live up to... there are really high expectations, and it's a very ambitious title....

I would LOVE to see Sony pull it off, I would play the game until my PS3 burned out, but I'd just like to see them pull it off first..

lol. bubbles.

we dont even know any thing about the game and it already shot down.

this is how overhype starts

WE DONT EVEN KNOW IF ITs RELATED TO WARHAWK.

ThanatosDMC5479d ago

Holy crap! It's gonna rape my grandma?!! AAHHHH!! She's 6ft under all ready... bless her soul.

How is it an ambitious title? All it is right now is a title! Nothing is known about this game. NOTHING! This is f**king absurd. Classic N4G.

sonarus5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

I came in here with the same WTF reaction as well. This is why blogs need to die

ThanatosDMC5479d ago

Just more damage control. Just like when MAG was announced they were saying how crappy the graphics would looks like and when in-game screenshots came out, they stopped talking.

Checks gaming news on the internet. "Oh, looks like a new game is being announced. StarHawk. . . . . . . Sounds cool."

Begins to write his article and decides upon the title:

'FINALLY, a next gen space sim title'

. . . . . Ok, lets see what platform this new game is on. . . . Play....Station.....3.

-Edits article title-

'Has sony bitten off more then it can chew?'

InfectedDK5479d ago (Edited 5479d ago )

"However, are they shooting themselves in the foot by trying to attempt too much?"

- Simple answer: No it's the PS3. I know it's hard to believe all this. But it is the PS3.

name5479d ago

The rape my grandma comment made me laugh out loud and confuse my girlfriend.

cmrbe5479d ago

If they just announced Warhak2 set in the same environment as warhawk they would complain that Warhawk 2 will not bring anything new.

Most game journalist are not thinking straight these days. Recently i commented on an article which ask weather Sony is afraid of Prototype lol!.

I love the fact that Sony at least are trying to bite more.

Rainstorm815479d ago

Sony is doing exactly what they need to do by keeping the games coming.

Personally i hope StarHawk is to WarHawk like Starcraft is to Warcraft
we will be in for good times. Looks like they have games well into 2011.

f7897905479d ago

Starhawk and Warhawk? Starhawk sounds idiotic but its obvious that it is related in some way to Warhawk.

morganfell5479d ago

The poster that ripped the writer a new one in the comments section of the article makes a valid point. When has Sony not raised the bar recently? They met and exceeded expectations on the highest goal possible. On the goal far too many felt they could not possibly achieve. Killzone 2. Sony has shown they can aim high and hit high.

And though I feel there is a very good chance this game is a sequel to Warhawk that is something as of yet we simply do not know.

Kudos to the writer for taking the dumb way out and joining the ever expanding club of question mark journalists that believe metaphor is another way of saying 'why I encountered her'.

II-Reaper-II5479d ago

They havent even said its a Warhawk sequel for crying out loud.Next article will probably say ..Is Sony being stupid for developing so many AAA exclusive titles?Itll probably be a HHG article.LOL

Already trying to tear down the game before any information is available… great job. This is why people complain that gaming journalism is biased. There is absolutely no reason to attack this game, as there is nothing to even attack yet. Extremely lame.

NateNater5480d ago

Is Starhawk the actual confirmed name of the game? I think it sounds to similar to Starfox

UNCyrus5480d ago

nothing's confirmed...

The title was registered as a copyright to SCEA the other day... With the rumors going around about the sequel being in space, it would only make sense that this was the case

krauley5479d ago

"nothing's confirmed...

or it could be a game about a bird in space. you know StarHAWK but then sony would be bitting off my then they can chew cause you know the physics collision of feathers in space wouldnt be realistic. and how could a bird breathe unless it had a spacesuit but na thats not gonna really happen....uh sony what are you doing? spit it out!

n4gn4gn4gn4g5480d ago

totally f'ing lame post. Has Lightbox or SONY confirmed that Starhawk has ANYTHING to do with Warhawk.

What? No?

Oh...then STFU.

(Maybe it is a remake of http://www.klov.com/game_de...

How the hell does this garbage get approved...I did a test ... didn't the rest of you?

/rant

KingKionic 5480d ago

lol report for being lame? lol you really grind my gears.

XXXRATED5480d ago

actually the programmer from warhawk dylan jobe left incognito to work on a similar warhawk type game based in space.

http://gamerblips.dailyrada...

this has been talked about several times on n4g

as it may not be anything to directly do with warhawk it most likely will be very similar

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake3d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX3d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer3d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils3d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg3d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

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.

RPGer1080d 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.

titans99991080d 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!
