I was in love with Warhawk on PS3 I literally have 100's of hours logged into that game. But i was really let down by Starhawk. The character designs for the enemies were weak, All the weapons felt cheap the Mech's where clunky and annoying, the flying with the mechs sucked. People I played with on Warhawk never abused the hovering to much to the point I thought it broke the game or anything it was perfect for taking out enemy jeeps. I could go on about why I didn't like Starhawk but it'd take to long. anyone who hasn't played Warhawk for some reason would be much better off avoiding Starhawk altogether and just getting Warhawk.

This is a brilliant move... the campaign for starhawk really dragged it down

But the mp is awesome... hopefully this will breath some life into it

SoundGamer4664d ago

Although the meat of the game is MP, I thought the campaign was just fine.

Andreas-Sword4664d ago

I think also, the multiplayer mode of Starhawk is awesome and fun.

BitbyDeath4664d ago (Edited 4664d ago )

Warhawk is the best online game of all time, sure hope Lightbox's next project is Warhawk 2 and they completely ignore everything they did on Starhawk.

Or better yet they should just remake Warhawk (PS3) for the PS4. Add a couple more maps and maybe even get rid of hover mode (don't even have to go that far), instant money from me.

doogiebear4664d ago

NO, Metal Gear Online is the best online game ever. Warhawk is a close second :P

ginsunuva4663d ago

No Warhawk is actually first. You have to suffe through the 5-month learning curve before it becomes fun. Then it becomes the best MP game ever.

yami9304664d ago

Completely understand, and I agree, thats why I have been posting on the forum and other places they should really consider making a "Warhawk Mode" for Starhawk, make it same rules / gameplay / overall feel of Warhawk, like equipable knife, no shotgun replace it with flame thrower, make the Repair tool and Grinder 1 weapon (Construction Tool or something along those lines for name), no health regen or make it slower and make the rift energy health or something, minimum or no build and battle, grenades explode on impact, tanks shoot and handle like warhawk tanks, starhawks feel like warhawks while flying, snipers are 1 hit kill, no "skills" (perks) etc. It be awesome to have a lot of skins release too, maybe cameos, warhawk skins and others.

BigStef714664d ago

Really awesome game that everyone that has a ps3 should try. This is very smart move because the game is multiplayer focused and should be able to get the attention of allot of people like warhawk did when they released it on psn

nevin14664d ago

I liked the Warhawk demo. Didnt like Starhawk beta.

Anyway, This is the future. KZ3 multiplayer can be bought on PSN. But wonder will this also have a $15 price and trail period.

Parappa4664d ago

I'd rather just wait for a Warhawk sequel.

Parappa4664d ago

No it isn't. That's like calling Dark Souls a Demon's Souls sequel. "Spiritual successors" aren't sequels.

MysticStrummer4664d ago

Starhawk is most definitely not a sequel to Warhawk.

dalibor4664d ago

Warhawk was totally fun online. One of my favorite games to play online as was MGO so I definitely will get this for I have not gotten Starhawk yet.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

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.

FreeckyCake438d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX438d 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.

Friendlygamer438d ago

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

YourMommySpoils438d ago

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

Friendlygamer438d ago (Edited 438d 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 )

jznrpg438d 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.

RPGer1515d 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.

titans99991515d 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!
