PlayStation.Blog: Warhawk v1.1 Patch and Arbiters

Dylan Jobe, Game Director of Warhawk writes on the PlayStation.Blog:

"Hey everyone, its been awhile since I last made a post here. The team and I have been cranking away on support and updates for Warhawk and I thought it'd be a good idea to give you all an update as to what the hell we've been up to."

"We've also been working on a lot of fixes, server-side updates and client patches. Because lets face it, while the team and I were really happy with our launch and players around the globe were having a blast playing, there were some problems that players encountered once we rolled the game out to the masses (stats, connection issues, etc). I'm not going to sugar coat that with a strawberry-flavored, pink, PR candy shell – it's the truth."

Holy s***... it's about time.

pwnsause6044d ago

lol at arbiters, the best thing created for a console game so far lol.

vaan6044d ago

Did I read that correctly? 64 player mayhem?

Baba19066044d ago

no, 64 player clans right?

vaan6044d ago

Yeah, shat my pants for a second there. Game still rocks though. I will be on later after my GT5 prologue demo is finished downloading.

Meno6044d ago

While the server capacity is capped at 32 total for now, I was a part of the beta and there were always very strong rumblings of 64 person private servers. It is possible it was lan only, but I heard those rumors too frequently by very good players to just write it off.

I expect to see 64 player online in the future for Warhawk.

Kleptic6043d ago

from Jobe's posts on the beta forum at that time; it appeared the main problem was just the size of the levels...the 5 "worlds" that were finished simply couldn't hold that many people...the amount of carnage would probably turn annoying more than anything...the original number was supposed to be 40, they then kicked it back to 32...64 is probably technically possible from the dedicated servers, but would be too crazy until we get more maps...

as of now...I wish Eucadia could hold a few more players...maybe like 40-45 or so, it seems to be the biggest overall map...but some of them I prefer to play with like 20-24 players for any team based game modes, like badlands and archipelego...32 players keeps everything so bottlenecked that if your team has just one idiot, you will never break through...

Agriel6044d ago

Wonder what this 2nd patch they are working on is. Could it be the rumored expansion pack? Or maybe something like new maps?

d3l33t6044d ago

'That said, many of you have heard rumors or saw the GI article about our Expansion pack...actually, internally here we are calling it a Booster Pack. Why do we call it a Booster Pack? What's in it? ...we'll be providing more info on that topic soon :-)"

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.

RPGer1101d 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.

titans99991101d 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!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6691882d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0071882d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt1881d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP1882d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

porkChop2011d ago

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE2011d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint2011d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook72011d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2011d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir2011d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine2011d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
