Pure PlayStation: Pure Reminiscing is a brand new feature from our very own Kyle Durant. It’s… different. Think of it like a mini-novel full of Kyle’s most weird and wonderful musings about games of yesteryear. If nothing else, at least it’s long enough to give you something to do on your journey to work in the morning….
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
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.
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.
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 )
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
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
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.
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!
The online component of Starhawk, a spiritual successor to the multiplayer-focused online game Warhawk, is no longer playable after June 30, 2018.
Fortnite reminds me of Warhawk with Starhawk mechanics, now People know why I liked that game so much.
Why? Starhawk and Warhawks selling point is probably the flight gameplay, Fortnite doesn't have any of that... it's not really similar at all...
Wow same bro. Trying to plat fortnite to go with my warhawk plat. But I missed my chance to plat starhawk sadly.
very similiar. the drop in from the sky aspect, the hit detection, the way the characters move, everything was ripped from Star/Warhawk.
I would be surprised at all if Fortnite introduces dog fighting and it controls exactly like Starhawk
The multiplayer with base building was so good and so overlooked in its time.
I think it took a lot of flak in the reviews because of its lackluster single player campaign. That's a shame. The campaign was pretty much one big tutorial to get you ready for the online mp. Yea, it wasn't great, but the mp was.
I hope they make another Warhawk or Starhawk in the future!
I remember it just not feeling very good to play, that’s why it failed. You have to nail the core mechanics in a multiplayer game.
I only played the beta, it was fun. But isn't it weird this gets decommissioned before Warhawk?
Hardcore Warhawk fans absolutely hated Starhawk. I think it was the building mechanics that they didn't like.
I thought it was cool.
I think Warhawk also supports dedicated servers so even if the official servers go offline, people can still play it.
I uninstalled Starhawk around 3 years ago, mainly because almost nobody was playing it at that time. It was one of the best multiplayer games on the market, so it's kind of sad that it wasn't more popular than it ended up being.
When did LightBox Interactive close down? They laid of a few people after sony ended the contract in 2012 but they began work on a IOS game.
Good game. Very underrated.
