Warhawk moves over 100k units in its first week

Incognito's "Warhawk" online multiplayer title exclusively for PS3 has sold just over 110,000 units in it's first week, making it one of the fastest selling PS3 titles yet. Warhawk's success marks the beginning of a steady stream of quality AAA titles for PS3 this fall.

[DADO]

Those numbers do not include the downloads from PNS.
Not bad at all.

[ArduousAndy]

the report does not go into detail. Regardless 100k+ is a great number even if you count download

[xplosneer]

VGchartz generally gets this stuff from NPG figures, which is based from retailers, not companies or online, I'm going to say this isn't assuming downloads. and most of the people I know so far have downloaded. :|

[nasim]

and you have well over 250 000 .

considering the fact i myself was ranked 221 000 yesterday.

great going WOWHAWK

[WAR_MACHINE77]

it doesn't look like these numbers include europe either so I would like to know what the all the numbers combined are.

[Skynetone]

based on the No's how have sighned up to the game

This game rocks

ive got two problems with the game

1}id like a option to play in fps view
2}when passing the controller to my friends all the controls need to be changed, id like a option that saves your controls and can be changed back with a press of a button

[INehalemEXI]

great game. Hope theres some good add on content in the future.

[Spike47]

the second AAA title for the ps3(resistance).

next is ratchet and clank 5, foklore, and eye of the judgement.

[VendettaWFT]

I think you meant there only AAA. Insomniac Games created Resistance, not Incognito. A simple mistake that a lot of people get wrong.

[dhammalama]

he meant that it was the second AAA title for the ps3 in general. But it can be confusing between Insomniac and Incognito.

[THC CELL]

eye of judgment going to move a lot not only for the game but the eye toy as well.

heavenly sword will be doing well this week in the center of Europe.

[the worst]

NO LAG AT ALL
PS3 RULES

[socomnick]

Congrats guys hope its fun Ima test it out tomorrow at my friends house.

[the worst]

watch out now very addicting

[TheExecutive]

great news, I wonder how many were sold overall. HS, R&C, and Uncharted next... gonna be busy this fall...

[gtgcoolkid]

I am also wondering if the downloaded version is being taken into account.

[resistance100]

I doubt it has, plus i bet it hasn't included the amount of europeans who have downloaded it

[Mario18]

quote from 360RULEZ "this game won't sell much and it's aimed only for the hardcore multiplayer gamers..."

Hehe, proved you wrong...

[chasegamez]

i remember that quote
haha
next up havenly sword
this should do good

[ArduousAndy]

that comment of his is short sighted. However its even more short sighted to say that he or she is wrong.

I say this only because you never know what tomorrow will bring. So far these 100k+ could be just the hardcore gamer. And for all we know sales could stop tomorrow.

I severly doubt that would happen. All I'm saying is dont be short sighted wait for the full news before you can say anything

After all im sure if I dug into your posts i can find some comments that you have said and would be as equally stupid. Im sure you can do the same for me.

[WilliamRLBaker]

you'd be right if it had sold millions, but what 4-5 million ps3 owners and only 100k retail sales?

This is simply a comment to prove you wrong, ps1 100m+ sold units, ps2 the same, ps3 sold 4-5 million but even with that number 100k isn't alot.

When you come back with concrete millions sold by this christmas then your right, hes wrong, till then your just flapping your lips.

[Kratos12]

And thats the biggest insult on this site. So quit whining lil b1tch!!!

PS1 100 million
PS2 100 million

PS3 4-5 million in ONLY 9 MONTHS.

PS1 and PS2 didnt acquire that user base in 9 months. So crawl back to your cave douchebag!!

[DrPirate]

I hope to hear with more sales, there's more incentive for DLC, more servers, new patches that allow 64 players and a larger map setting.

I only want this game to grow because the game package itself is still quite small. It must be allowed to get bigger and allow for a better experience.

And I still keep getting full ranked server matches :(.

[MK_Red]

Great find and great news. Good to see a superb game get the commercial success it deserves in a market full of bad sports titles and second hand Wii games selling millions.

[Nameless]

They are going to need alot more servers. It is getting harder to find games online.

[xplosneer]

I am noticing more servers on(official ones at least)
But we need to stop complaining about servers because you can make your own games, even ranked ones.

[toughNAME]

what is the definition of AAA?

this article implys that if the game sells well, its AAA..is that right?

[Maddens Raiders]

Apparent
Anti-SNE
Asshole

Triple A.

[Premonition]

AAA for me is when you see people loving the game and enjoying the heck out of it, and warhawk is that game, also sales also help as well.

[toughNAME]

you've made a habit of dodging my questions.

---------

could i get a definition of AAA?
i mean wasnt Viva Pinata triple A? it never sold very well

[PlayStation360]

In all seriousness. There really is no OFFICIAL definition for a triple A game. Some people believe a AAA game is one that receives an average score of 9+ by reviewers. I for one do not believe in this definition. It's too inaccurate, some reviewers may not like a certain genre, some may be inexperienced in a certain genre to understand the game, heck... they could be in a bad mood at the time of scoring. And with so many internet reviewers out there, enthusiasts may disregard some reviewers scores just to "raise" the average score of their preferred game.

My definition for a AAA title is a game that is a MUST HAVE. A game that sales many units (1 mil+) in a decent amount of time, can sale systems, and is enjoyed by gamers months after the games release. (ie: Halo franchise, Pokemon franchise, GTA franchise, Final Fantasy Franchise...etc)

[toughNAME]

"A game that sales many units (1 mil+) in a decent amount of time, can sale systems, and is enjoyed by gamers months after the games release"

in a way i completely agree

these games (bioshock, warhawk) shudnt be getting the title of AAA..it confuses people and is a terrible ranking system

personally, i think Bioshock is leagues ahead of Warhawk, but there both given the title of AAA? its pretty weird

i say we abandon "AAA" all together

[Clinton514]

Are you going to piss and moan and poke at every successful PS3 title? I'd like to see you keep up with it. Entertaining indeed.

[KnowitAll]

AAA pretty much means they put a lot of time into it. AAA Games, are games that had a lot of money put into it too. A lot of money is wasted on advertisement,actually producing the game, and for extra features. So basically thier supposed to be good.
AAA games = Halo, Grand theft auto, and any other game you hear a lot in tv or reviews.

Unline Brawl! That game is spread by word of mouth!!

[Sayai jin]

Thats great to hear. I downloaded it 2 nights ago. I have not been able to really get into to it though. Personally, when I first started playing I was a little unmoved by the characters. Now the air combat is good. No one was really saying anything or strategizing. I have not got into it yet, but I will get my $42.67 worth, so I will give it another try later.

[MikeGdaGod]

you paid tax?

[Sayai jin]

Yes, I brought it on the PSN, the tax was like $2 something.

[BLaZiN PRopHeT]

doesnt VGcharts have the game listed as sold 107k? i mean thats the website that the source uses.

[Mattguy]

Well it's looking great for warhawk, it's selling amazingly, they fixed the ranking(THANK GOD!) This is going to be the best selling ps3 game up until around the end of october.

[Odion]

so are two worlds, and blue dragon AAA games and big success because they both sold over 100k

[chasegamez]

about 10 weeks 100k

[Bnet343]

Halo 2 is AAA AAA AA because it sold 2.4 million in one day. Actuallyt more A's then that

[tatotiburon]

do you know when blue dragon was release?? is not 10 weeks

[gogators]

both Two Worlds and Blue Dragon sold more than 100k in their first week of release. But, both are of a different genre that has been very sparse of late and both are not nearly as well done as Warhawk. I haven't played Warhawk yet, but the general reviewer consense for Warhawk has been very good. Much better than the other two.

[Maddens Raiders]

copy onto the 100,000 copy pile. I still haven't had a chance to buy mine yet.

[Takumi86]

THE GAME is 32 PLAYERS ONLINE NO LAG AND its F KING FrEE Who Can bEat That!!!!

PS3 4LiFe

[Synex]

All my roomates, and a couple neighbors are constantly on my ps3 playing this game. Two of them wanted a 360 for halo 3, but now are thinking they will go ps3 for warhawk. And one of them has never played video games before; he's now addicted.

[ElementX]

Never played video games before? Sad and pathetic. BTW 100,000 isn't that impressive.

[SofaKingReetodded]

HATORADE taste you ho-azz xbot

[TheFatOne]

@toughName Well it depends on who you ask. I beleive a AAA title has to do two things sell well, and move systems. It all depends on who you ask though.

[junk56]

yea its not countnig downloads because only sony would release those numbers and so far they havent. i'm sure they've sold more than 300k by now overall

[supaet]

oh, the data is from where again?

vgchartz= lol

wait for npd

[The Karate Kid]

Warhawk is exceptional............... Why pay for a online service when you can enjoy great games like this and play for free. You don't even have to leave your living room. Download this game onto your playstation 3 for $39.99 and play online free with all of your friends.

Great games for a great console. So many great 1st party titles with the addition of third party support our brand will continue to grow strong on a month to month basis. Just imagine and treat your mind with the up and coming Firmware 2.0 with Playstation home, Ratchet & Clank tools of destruction.....Unreal Tournament 3....Haze....Gran Turismo Prolouge......And of course to finish the year. Uncharted Drakes Fortune

2008 is all up hill from that.

White Knight Story
Metal Gear Solid 4
Final Fantasy 13
Tekken 6
Little Big Planet
Killzone 2
Gran Turismo 5
Getaway

Many many many more unannouced titles for the 2008 season.

The playstation 3 is a fantastic system. With Blu-ray movie playback, free online gaming, backwards compatible techonology. And a robust software lineup. This holiday season will be a defining moment for the playstation family.

Expect a $399.99 priced console within months.............

[MannyHarlem141]

those #s only reflect bluray versions... downloadable versions were an attractive option for people w/ the 60 and 80 gig config that already had bluetooth headsets

[xplosneer]

the Blu Ray version installs a 800MB file on the system anyways, the same size as the downloadable version.

[Daxx]

Cheers to Warhawk's success. ^_^

[cooke15]

Considering the cost to make next gen games 100k+ is not very much at all :|

[DADO]

That is 100k in a week. Not a year!

[chasegamez]

it cost 1 million
100k x 40 =4 million
thats in the first week

[apoc06]

actually, since these are the sales numbers from blu-ray sales the numbers should be:
100k * $60 = $6M

the included bluetooth headset probably retails for $5 a piece at the wholesale sony discount price. packaging, promotion and the disc itself amounts to ~ $3 per disc.

that would be $52 per disc
100k * $52 = $5.2M

so a rough profit guesstimate should be around:
$5.2M - $2M = $3.2M profit in the first week alone

and this is not counting downloadable sales which are totally profit without overhead.

[gogators]

Now way. Wholesale prices for this game are going to be around 35 to 40 bucks. Circuit City, Target, Walmart, and Best Buy will need to make their money too. I assume sony gets dollar for dollar off their own network when it's downloaded.

[THUNDERMARE]

I'm not sure about break down, but I've read from WSJ that out of standard new game selling at $50, $17-20 goes to developer, $14 to publisher $8 to retail $2 for the cost of DVD and case and the rest is for logistic cost (transportation cost). This is simple cost structure but varies for each company and agreement.

so from 100,000k Incognito already got about 1.7 million to 2million in the first week and Sony got 1.4 million. However, I'm pretty sure that they got more than that since the d/l version cut cost by a large margin.

[heroman711]

not surprised. when u get on the game servers, their are like 700 + games going on

[Genki]

so to speak, for online games. It's got all the right ingredients so far, with 32 players, lag free, good balance, good servers, etc. It's sure to turn heads in the direction of other online greats like Resistance and Motorstorm. A few hiccups, but apparently the devs got on top of that stuff RIGHT AWAY. That's a very good sign of things to come, and hopefully Sony keeps a thumb on games with buggy/troublesome online play.

Bodes well for the future, that's for certain.

[DJ]

the server updates, and the game performs flawlessly now. Log-in speed is quick, my stats are being saved, and as far as I can tell it's a little easier to join games that are almost full.

[DrWan]

this number doesn't include Europe and Japan

[felidae]

and it will sell like hot cakes because Europe is Sonyland ;-)

[chasegamez]

stop hating
go play bioshock
again and again and
again and again and
again

[otherZinc]

100k in a week for what was to be a great game?
BIOSHOCK over 400k 1st week!
METROID Wii: over 300k 1st week!

Now thats impressive.

[chasegamez]

BIOSHOCK over 400k 1st week
second week you were watching your friends
having fun playing warhawk
(reply)33
there no lag thats how i know you didnt
play warhawk
lag is on 360 on every game

[xplosneer]

but 2/3 of my friends have downloaded, meaning 1/3 have bought, meaning 1/3x=100K, meaning 200K have downloaded. and oh BTW that's 300K for a system with only HALF the userbase of the other two.

[GoLeafsGo]

That's the worst logic ever.
Your friends are not the entire PS3 owner population.

If I do things your way, since 10 people I know bought the PS3 compared to the 6 people I know with a Wii and the 12 people I know that bought the 360, the PS3 has an install base greater than the Wii, and almost that of the 360.

See how that makes NO sense whatsoever?

[xplosneer]

out of a sample of 30 friends who have the game so far, plus what I have seen on the playstation forums. It wasn't meant to be taken for truth or anything. Jeesh.

[batman2million]

I'm not trying to sound like a fan boy, but Wii sports sold more than WarHawk did.

http://www.vgchartz.com/awe...

I mean, it's still impressive- but are these the standards the playstation has now been put upon? 100,000 copies is the fastest selling? Didn't GT or GTA like triple that or something?

And yes I know, that the number of downloads hasn't been released. But until I don't see numbers, I won't believe it.

And in two weeks, Halo 3 is coming out. No matter how much you guys hate it, wanna kill it, thinks its cartoony, laggy, whatever!

It is going to sell like hot cakes!

[DrWan]

Wii sport is package with the system, it sold more than anything, in order to be a "good seller", the game usually just need to be over 1 million copies to be fairly profitable. Both motorstorm and resistances are already pass million mark and it's been out for one year, and WarHawk is out for a week and its already at 100k, it will no doubt reach 1 million in its life time, i suspect it will reach 3-4 million total in its lifetime and possibly MORE if they inlcude new downloadable contents every few months (which brings in revenue of its own).

[apoc06]

over a million copies to be profitable?

thats not how the industry works. most games are profitable in the long run. if publishers were really losing money that badly, no one would develop titles anymore.

if your game sells over 200k copies you will recoup development on a $10M game. 200k * $60 = $12M, $12M - $10M development costs still leaves your company with $2M in profit.

this would be for a game that costs $10M. A ps3 title supposedly costs an average of $8.6M.

[gogators]

They get wholesale dollar and third party developers also a per unit licencing fee even before that wholesale dollar. Capcom for example doesn't get 60 bucks everytime a copy of Lost Planet is sold. They get closer to 30-35 bucks, because no retail store in their right mind is going to sell something for free. Then you have take into account the money Microsoft, Nintendo, and Sony make for their platform licencing fee which is going to be a couple of bucks for each copy sold. Then you have advertising, manufactoring, and distribution. Developers and the publishers don't get this for free either.

[felidae]

who talks about Halo here?

[GoLeafsGo]

Heh..just goes to show you, Sony needs to back off with their promises with games.
Warhawk had the least PR BS (compared to Lair and HS), and clearly, it was a success (though the beta helped immensely, I'm sure.).

As for anyone claiming this isn't good:
1) Bioshock was hyped like mad crazy; Metroid is an already-established franchise.
2) 100k takes into account strictly the BluRay sales.
3) The PS3's installed base isn't as large as that of the Wii's or 360's.

Though I must admit, if I'm a developer, and I see such figures, I gotta start scratching my head about PS3 exclusive titles.
I mean, there's no point of releasing them to so little people, and at the same time, without these exclusives, there's no point to migrate to the PS3 over the 360/Wii.
Quite the conundrum for developers, and a possible disaster for Sony.

***EDIT***
By the way, I really don't care for the PSN figures (hence, the total figures), as I'm sure I'll be too busy playing Warhawk..or work + school...gah =(

[the greatest]

there nothing else

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Unless you include all those video games being released after Halo 3...then, there's something.

Wake up, kid. Unreal Tournament III, Haze, and COD4 are REAL fps's...not Halo.

[Genki]

It's getting nothing but good buzz from the people playing it, and word travels fast. Friends with PS3s are likely to get it after smapling their buddy's game, and so on and so forth. It may be a hot seller this Christmas, along with all the rest of the multiplayer frag-fests on the horizon. UT3, Haze, CoD4, NBA, NHL, etc.

[mccomber]

are well deserved, it's a great game. Now that the rank issues seem to be solved, and since I'm sure we'll see more official servers soon, it's definitely a title every ps3 owner should be playing.
Here's to it's success bringing us more maps and perhaps even a couple more vehicles...

[tatotiburon]

nice...in the 25th a game will sell 100k in 3.5 minutes..which game? anyone?

[MikeGdaGod]

you think anoyone on this page cares about you or your f@ggy lil xbox?

keep it moving

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

And what part of that makes Halo anymore than a mediocre shooter?

When it starts getting an 11 out of 10, like Half-life and Half-life 2 did...then, we'll talk.

[snoopgg]

There will be Killzone 2 blowing it out of the water baby!!!!!! Killzone 2 is going to kick some monkey nuts............. Visually it will blow Halo 3 out of the water, and I am very confident gameplay will be well what it should be, so get over your selfworship of Halo being the only fps ever worth playing. That game is so overated my friend.

[Loudninja]

people still use this crap?

[Loudninja]

...

[Relientk77]

i wasnt really looking at this title that much... but im seriously considering researching and looking at this game cuz its selling so much ...to see if i wanna purchase it

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

From one Matt Theissen fan to another...

BUY THIS GAME!!! SERIOUSLY!!! GO OUT AND GET THIS GAME!!! It's like Battlefield on crack!

[Biasmania]

This is great news.... This means there are at least 99,999 other people that I get to take shots at.

[Zhuk]

Considering first week sales are when a title sells most of its copies, 100k is pretty mediocre.... and some people are saying it will sell a million copies?? nonsense.

Now if you included the people who downloaded it (lets say 100,000) you get 200,000 people who have got the game, which is very respectable.

[MikeGdaGod]

i just got off the game and it's alot easier to find a ranked game now.

but my stats are still messed up. i wish they'd get it together. last night i had a game with 28 kills and 4 deaths and it wasn't recorded. i'm pissed, i had about 20 medals off that one match.

[bootsielon]

...didn't Bioshock and Metroid got 400,000 units sold at launch? 400,000 isn't even impressive when you consider what GTA, MGS, Halo, Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest, Kingdom Hearts, Street Fighter, etc. did in their first weekends.

[MikeGdaGod]

most people (like me) downloaded the game off the PSN

i don't know if those Bioshock and Metroid #s are correct but this 100k for Warhawk isn't the whole picture either.

[DJ]

don't have headsets, which means that the majority of people who bought Warhawk did so off of PSN. At least based off of my personal experience.

[Raptors]

I wish I didn't return my ps3 so I would've had a chance to play this game.

[the greatest]

haha

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Um...

I'm sorry?

PSN ID - JacobIsHollywood

^You can't stay on the darkside forever, my friend.

[felidae]

how can you sell the ps3 after less than a year?

the best games are coming - or do you think there will be no games?

[gogators]

and in 48 hours I get to look forward to 24 days of vacation. I just can't play it yet. Oh, I can't wait.

[sak500]

So you guys now believe VGC's numbers but when it shows total consoles sold charts you cry foul and blame it on it being biased and inaccurate. Comeon fonies make up your mind, stick to one thing unlike sony, which has yet to decide what ps3 is about.

[macalatus]

@Sak o' Sh!t

Dude, you're freakin' weird. Why do you even have 2 freakin' 360s when the ONLY thing you can do is to troll in a ps3 news article. Wait...let me think...oh yeah, you have 2 360s just in case one goes out of whack. Smart thinking, I must say, since not a whole lot of MS fanboys trolling in this website think they should have a 360 backup. Impressive, I must say! Back to the question why you're not playing...oh, that's right, you're out of Dubai again. I feel sorry for your two 360s, dude.

[Fighter]

I love the game but I wish they had a single player campaign or a single player practice area where we could practice and perfect our skill in flying the Warhawk using only motion control and also to study the maps better. I'm having a bit of trouble with the motion controls.

What are your settings with the controller, guys?

[LeonSKennedy4Life]

Just start your own server and password protect it. That, or start an offline LAN game...

...just sayin'.

[diatom]

Leon is right.

Create your own offline game and explore the maps, find all the weapons, practice your Air to ground, all without me killing you repeatedly...

[SmokeyMcBear]

actually, I dont use motion controls, its a lot easier without them. Its cool to have 4 people at your house playing the smaller maps, then you can jump online with all 4 players in a 32 player room.. woohoo

[Genki]

I'm sure they have to have a tracker for that sort of thing, considering the only way to get it is through the PSN. I'd say 100K is pretty good though.

[alfredoggy]

Great game.

[ATLRoAcH]

That 100k plus all the downloads is pretty good for a week.I wonder how many people like me are still planning on getting it but haven't yet.

[The Mart Jr]

100k? That's what all of your Phony Fandroids are getting worked up about? Halo 3 will beat that in the first second it comes out!

[macalatus]

Scary!! So the Mart made a clone of himself aka "mini-Mart" or Mart Jr. Golly, how did that happen!! So what's the next Mart clone's name gonna be? I think it would be "the Mart ver. 2.25", with intelligence (or lack thereof) still unchanged.

@nix,
LOL!! I will personally hold you responsible for any bad health that I may encounter from laughing hard after reading your post!! ;-) Bubbles for you!

[ATLRoAcH]

Yeah actually Halo 3 already beat it with like a million pre-orders jackass.And the PS3 is just getting going the 360 got that head start you know.

[nix]

a rat will give birth to a rat only... q:

...and both of them are suffering from extreme exposure to RRODs, all they see is red against sony. basically, MS has mind-fvcked them! q:

[THUNDERMARE]

I suggest "Wal-Mart)

Mini Mart actually sound cute you know.
We have Mart Jr now how about Mart Sr.?

[aiphanes]

I just checked. There are a lot of sony ranked servers now.

Stats work
there are now freezes
and u can join sony ranked servers

[macalatus]

Did you mean "there are NO freezes"?

[cooke15]

OK seriously how the hell is this 480 degree news :| God damn i hate this system

[darkvenom]

gotta be freakin kidding me! another Mart?,Hold on a minute..........CLICK!....ahh! what a useful feature the ignore option,don't have to see any more bs from an idiot fanboy.anyways i haven't bought Warhawk yet but i will within the next few days i'll get it where i work at,keep hearing good things about this game,can't wait to try it out.

[Baba1906]

sooooooo crazy how 360 fans try to trash every little thing that happens in this forum. why cant u just be happy for someone else. and if u are so sure 360 is the best ever than why all the hate against the ps3 ? holy moly its so hard to be happy around here.

im very happy with the game. europe hasnt even startet selling it in retail, but i suppose a lot of people bought it online couse they didnt wanna wait till october. Just one little thing =D buy it its worth it. =D

[MANTIIS]

the Xbots know if you tried to play Warhawk on the 360, it would probably crash their system.

[MANTIIS]

for some downloadable maps and other content. Perhaps with all this success, it won't be long.

[PimpHandHappy]

Do not respond to the trolls. You just hit ignore and b4 you know it you will forget ppl are really that bitter. Soon you will be hearing about games that ppl have played themself because they own a PS3.

Stop responding to trolls

just hit ignore

[macalatus]

But sometimes the best way to make people shut up is to take their very own words and skillfully use it against them. It destroys their egos so much that they really have nothing else to say but a different, simpler, idiotic crap over and over again (like the simple "ps3 sucks"), or they just simply shut up. Only after that can you hit the ignore button; no need to argue with them because they are already making an a$$ out of themselves.

[chavafx]

yes in its first 5 days sell 410k in just the xbox 360 alone so whats the big deal ???

[CrazzyMan]

250k warhawk in usa with only 2 mln. ps3 sold.
400k bioshock in usa even with 7 mln. x360 sold.

lol, and who is losing console war now? =))

[felidae]

and the looser is ..... x... ..0

[chavafx]

and bioshok sell 410k in its first 5 days and now is in usa alone 580k
plus even the most mediocre game on xbox 360 sell more then 100k in its first week so whats the big deal about warhaw i actually think thats a disaponted sales so thats the best in ps3 omg im glad i trade my ps3 for on elite 360

[felidae]

i really love Warhawk .. and my PS3 ;-)

[rev20]

This game rules, all the problems are fixed stats are working.

sorted :)

[Genki]

flushed those problems so expediently. There so many great games that suffer from a terrible online experience(:ahem: NBA 2K, and it's a very sad thing that they'll often times never get a fix throughout the life of the title. Kudos to the developers.

[rev20]

Lets give the xbox fools a break.

They wouldnt know about a full 800mb game being downloadable of a consoles store, so those numbers dont count for them as its not possible on the xbox atm.

;)

[SnakeDiesinMGS4]

Of course it sold well, THERE IS NOTHING ELSE TO GET ON A PS3!!! HAHA YOU IDIOTS!!! If this game was on the 360 it wouldn't sell well because there are better choices.

Your the idiot because the game is actually amazing, but youve never played it.

The game would sell on any console its just a great game

[IRONMAN_X57]

xbots dont even know what AAA is, and btw, we have LOTS OF AMAZING GAMES

[snoopgg]

Because there are better choices my friend. Killzone 2 Ha Ha Ha

[SofaKingReetodded]

the world would have never seen a Halo2 much less a 3. since THAT'S ALL xbots had to play and now it's all they have to "brag" about it has become the most highly polished turd in the history of gaming.

[mighty_douche]

i would of bought this game even if killzone and MGS where out now! amazing unrelentless FUN FUN FUN!! 32 players, no slow down, no lag, no frame issues.... please tell me another console game that can offer that?!

[Shadow Flare]

is a testament to why PSN is better than Xbox Live

32 players, no lag at all, has dedicated servers, and its free

But xbox live has a unified friends list. I guess thats worth $50

[SofaKingReetodded]

ouch.....you know you're gonna get the wrath of the xbot army coming down on you for daring to speak the truth about their self aggrandized live service.

[WilliamRLBaker]

lets see the only dedicated servers are sony servers, users can make their own which are FILLED with lag, Reports of lag even on sony dedicated servers, inabbility to join sony servers, or even user made servers, Game crashes...ect

Yep it proves its better then xbox live all right.
*laugh*

P.S: and atleast in 2 years ill know that i can play lostplanet, gears of war, halo 3 online where as with sony servers? seems to me alot of them went caput after 1 and a half to 2 years on the ps2.

P.P.S: i've played warhawk so i know from personal experience the problems people are having, I had quite a few with lag on some user made servers, IT TAKES A HELL OF A connection to host 32 player personal matches, And even with my 10mbdown, 1mb up cable connection The hosts connection was bad enough it caused lag, I've yet to try hosting a match till I can get Verizon fiberoptic here with the promised 15-25mb+ down and 5mb up.

[rev20]

haha WilliamRLBaker

Lets not start clinching at straws shall we.

For a start i bet the majority who own warhawk can back me up here i have yet to experiance any lag on the sony servers and i only play on those servers, ive also played quite a bit not once have i had any lag.

Of course it could be laggy on someone hosting there own game off their own connection thats common sense, hence why most games that are hosted p2p the majority of xbox live games suffer from lag, just like r6:v on ps3 its laggy due to crappy peer 2 peer it sucks on all consoles fullstop.

Im sure i read somewhere the game limits you to how many people you can host due to your connection which is awesome and should help solve any lag problems, ive never hosted a game myself so im not sure.

Dont come with me about the crap of freezing my 360 has frozen numerous times just due to the actual machine offline, online whenever so your really in no position to complain :)

[resistance100]

@ WilliamRLBaker

you don't know how it works do you?

If you host your own game, it will limit the amount of people who you can have in your room depending on connection, that way theres No lag as the hosts internet speed can support that amount of players in the room.

[WilliamRLBaker]

then sony needs to update the game cause the limiting factor of download speed and upload on how many players you can support doesn't seem to be working, I've been in 2 count it TWO user made rooms that didn't lag and thats because one of them I talked to had an Fiber optic connection, the other was only hosting the minimum amount of people in a match. *edit: I need to add that the user made games i've played had 32 players when that user obviously didn't have the beefy connection needed for 32 players*

By the way RevRun if thats true then you need to talk to the *other* majority of gamers whom are posting on official playstation forums complaining bout not being able to log into sony servers, sony server lag, game crashes, user made room lag, inable to log into user made rooms, user made room crashes.

And @mighty id be no different then you and the other cows comming into halo 3 aritcles about it selling 500K in its first week and complaining about every lil problem reported on, So dont act innocent.

P.S: I was simply giving a well thoughtout PROVEN FACTUAL reply to shadow flare *name from ff7* that warhawk far from proved psn was a better service.

P.P.S: to the pundits before they say any thing, and the posters above, I never said xbox live didn't lag, but I'll say this my laggy gameplay to none laggy ratio is correct at aabout 20/80% which makes for very many fun and none laggy matches I've been in, And like I said atleast in a year and a half to 2 years i know ill still be playing lost planet and gears, and halo 3, unlike warhawk which ill pretty much guranteed have to rely on user made servers cause sony will pull the plug on their dedicated ones.

[mighty_douche]

dude try relaxing, no one here is talking about the xbox aka your love interest! your mental mate, just an imature child, someone should of told your mum that crack can damage her babies brain... maybe you could be an advert for this.....

[aiphanes]

But there is no LAG in this game. You need a broadband connection. Everybody should be on 6 meg or higher pipe by now if they are a serious online gammer. If you can get a cable modem connection that is 10 megs up and 1.0 megs down...then you are in the house!

Also update your wireless router. You can not use some old crap thinking it is going to get you the best speed. Good 802.11B/G wireless routers are only like $40.

[Meus Renaissance]

The amount of hate any positive PS3 news gets is astounding

[mighty_douche]

i find it funny how all the xbox fans slam the ps3 and all its games, yet as soon as there is some interesting/positive ps3 news they feel the need to jump all over it...
"ha, number 1 game is a 800mb download....."
"ha sony cant even get its servers to work...." etc etc

little bit worried perhaps......?

roll on half 5 and let the warhawk pwnage resume.... woooo!
PSN ID..... Mighty_Douche.... give us an add if anyone wants!

[caffman]

when there is good 360 news? All you hear is "RROD, RROD, RROD".
However Mighty Douche you get bubbles just for being a PS3 user with a PSN account who shows it!
Xbox tag = caffman

Halo is everything.
Xbox 1 had 2 Halo games and look where it ended up......

[rowdy 1]

is way better that halo 3 online. My son loves halo and I will buy halo 3 for him because it's a kids game to me. Warhawk is war, gritty war. It's not as evil as KZ2 or Gears, but it's not as light as halo. Fantasy bombs and shields just don't cut it if you're a grown up you kinda get away from the spaceman thing.

[deadshark1]

WHOOOHHHH! HOOOOOOO Warhawk rcks! best game ever no wonder thr was over 100000 ppl to download it it is well worth £20 ctf is da best in da badland or destroyed capitol both so gd oh yea and ma ps3 three says wen a download a demo somtimes there is a problem with the installation cd u help me? and ma psn account name is :deadshark1:

[aiphanes]

There are tons a Sony ranked servers...and I mean tons.

Its time to get into warhawk and master your skills. This game is so much fun, i mean i never tire of it. Everytime i play it is different. I am loving capture the flag. This is how you get the most points. So if you want to rank up play some capture the flag.

I am trying to find a server than has 32 player full deathmatch.

Also you guys who have not played warhawk yet, you have not lived this you player a 32 player team deathmatch game where you are in nothing but warhawks. It is truly an awesome site. You can do canyon runs to try and evade your enemies. Also you can gang bang other players on the other team, but going 5 on 1...if you see a warhawk flying by itself. This game is too fun.
Remember there is really 25 different battle zones...on 5 different main maps. All incognito has to do is release new maps every quarter. Release a 2 new maps with 5 battle zones, every quarter..

I want to see a beach map, where you can be fighting on the beach.

Also new weapons and vehicles added with these new maps will be cool also. Incognito said they were going to do it. Since Warhawk is a success...they will do it. It is Sony's best game to date. Why would anybody not get warhawk?
