GeekParty's Josh Wirtanen: "I really enjoyed the PS3-exclusive Starhawk, though I was grumpy enough about the game’s later microtransactions that I sort of gave up on it.
Recently, it’s come to my attention that the PS3 game wasn’t the first game to ever be called Starhawk; there was an arcade game of the same title made by Tim Skelly for Cinematronics back in the 1970s. While it wasn’t an official Star Wars game, it replicated the Death Star trench run of A New Hope, going so far as to include TIE fighters."
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!
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….
I was so disappointed with this game. Its predecessor Warhawk is still one of my favorites.
Plagiarize is an excessively strong word to be using in cases where a single element out of the entirety of something draws similarities to a far more known and iconic work. As is unscrupulous.
Where is our warhawk type of gameplay for PS4?ive been waiting for a game like warhawk,im hoping star wars battlefront 3 will scratch that itch but ig only time will tell
Plagiarize? Do you know what Plagiarize even means? It literally means to copy something word for word, while changing very very little. If Starhawk is a plagiarization of Star Wars, then Halo is a direct copy & paste of Starship Troopers.
I personally loved Starhawk. The SP might have been kind of shit, but the MP was brilliant because of the build & battle system and very balanced gameplay. I really hope there's a sequel in the works for PS4.
yes I've spent so many hours playing Warhawk screaming into the headsets while my music is blasting from my xmb lol some of the most balanced gameplayand well-designed stages I've ever played online... Starhawk was really good also it just didn't appeal to a lot of people:(
