LightBox has been a great example of how to execute an enjoyable Beta experience. On the current tides of gaming, many games have offered beta's with the goal of improving their online experience. Where most developers have used the beta phase of a games development as a demo, designed to test the load on the servers, the complexity that comes with having a scale that mirrors what’s found in Starhawk, requires much more than a multiplayer demo.
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!
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….
The online component of Starhawk, a spiritual successor to the multiplayer-focused online game Warhawk, is no longer playable after June 30, 2018.
I only played the beta, it was fun. But isn't it weird this gets decommissioned before Warhawk?
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.
Starhawk is so boss! cant wait for the game!
had lots of fun with the beta!
I played the public beta a couple weeks ago. Even i don't have headset to comunicate with other people, but i had fun with this game. It's funny but also cool to see how people build those fortress to protect the flag. So i consider to buy it when it released on may.
i will be buying this game day one :D
The beta is frankly awesome.
I cannot wait to play the game at its fullest, with all the upgradable buildings and vehicles, and all the new features, and new maps. There's so many ways each game can play out, it's fantastic.
Anyone else feel like there's a very strong Santo Monica influence when it comes to the engine? I almost feel like there's a strange God of War III feel to it. Anyhow, I feel Starhawk could just be one of the best and defining games of this generation. Such unique and addictive gameplay. Strategic, fun, and great graphics to boot. Awesome design style as well. Just hits the right notes.
