Why Didn’t Sony Give This Free Game?

Sony recently revealed the welcome back incentive for all PlayStation Network users yesterday. However, many gamers have been skeptical on whether the free games Sony offered are good enough. Well, they certainly forgot one game to include that would have surely seen many doubters of the welcome back package satisfied.

Question: i havent bought warhawk and didnt play it before but IS Warhawk HD not as good as warhawk.

mrv3214720d ago

Warhawk HD, I believe is an old term for the new warhawk, there was a PSone game with the same name, same franchise infact.

THE MORE YOU KNOW.

I really wanted them to give away Warhawk, but they feared it being so old it would have caused negative press about starhawk, the learning diffuculty to... also being serve based it would have been overwhelmed. Do I mind? No, fewer noobs stealing my hawk when I get out to repair.

Uncharted3Goty4720d ago

Thank you for the reply i understand now Warhawk is the PSone version and warhawk for the PS3 is a new one for the console.

ilikestuff4720d ago

people are allllways complaining about anything they can, if you have all the games on the list then its a sign you buy too many damn games. if you have the disc copies of any of those games put them on amazon and get some money. the internet is full of vaginas.

and i dont care about disagrees, i have one bubble for a reason

"Why Didn’t Sony Give This Free Game?"

Because they thought that the hype behind Starhawk would be enough to get people to PURCHASE Warhawk. Also, the free month of PS Plus gives ALL the DLC for Warhawk for free(you get this forever). This is an added incentive to buy Warhawk. I just wish they would drop the damn price to $20 already. Its been out for 4 years and the downloadable version has only dropped $10.

DWOM4720d ago

All the DLC's for free? Man I'm getting WarHawk soon off PSN!

Oxymoron0284720d ago

Been meaning to get the warhawk dlc! ... now I dont have too :D

BISHOP-BRASIL4720d ago

Trade in Warhawk last year (just wasn't playing it anymore)... Guess who feels like a fool now.

frostypants4720d ago (Edited 4720d ago )

Another reason: Warhawk runs off of dedicated servers (one of the reasons it is so awesome). If they gave it away, they'd have to spend money/resources bringing the server capacity back up.

And the price hasn't dropped much because it is still pretty freaking popular for how old it is. It's a testament to its greatness. Many server-based games that old would've been taken offline by now.

I would've been happy if they just had let us choose any first party greatest hits game.

Uncharted3Goty4720d ago

i agree 100 percent if that was the case NO ONE and i mean NO ONE would Complain at all.

iamnsuperman4720d ago

Warhawk would have been interesting especially with the other just been announced (from a marketing perspective like Infamous). It doesn't matter to me really but I think though Warhawk as a marketing ploy should have been introduced

GiggMan4720d ago

I think they did just find considering that infamous 2 is releasing a lot sooner than Starhawk.

rebirthofcaos4720d ago

It could be that since warhawk is an online game only people will think the same for starhawk, and may affect the perception of the game.

archemides5184720d ago (Edited 4720d ago )

they didn't give warhawk cuz they didn't want to up open a ton more servers for 70 million new players since it's online only. they give away infamous and lbp and all they're losing is bandwidth for the download, and they're getting free marketing for the sequels.

rajman4720d ago

I thought the same, it would give new players a taste of how awesome the multiplayer is and what to expect in Starhawk. Regardless people should BUY IT...its so damn cheap and the multiplayer is just plain awesome

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.

RPGer1082d 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.

titans99991082d 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.

SegaSaturn6691863d ago

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

mkis0071863d ago

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

Knushwood Butt1863d 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.

PoSTedUP1863d 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.

MONOLITHICIDE1992d ago

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

TheSaint1992d ago

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

Babadook71992d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun1992d 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!

Sevir1992d 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

Concertoine1992d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
