This game will be amazing!! Brig it on! ;) I liked WarHawk a lot, still playing it, and now StarHawk looks 10X better!

BeastlyRig4731d ago (Edited 4731d ago )

wow every sony ip that is a shooter looks better & goes down it player count..

Killzone has less players now.. Resistance has less players now.. & now starhawk.. some of my friends were hoping for 32 - 64 at least..

still might be good though..

Shadow Flare4731d ago

Uh, if starhawk is 16 v 16, then that's exactly what warhawk was. A 32 player game max. I'm fine with that

thor4731d ago

Yes Starhawk is confirmed 32-player.

I would have loved to have seen more players too, but if the game is designed to be fun with 32 then that's what I'll play it with. I've played games that support arbitrarily high numbers of players on PC and you end up just playing small games.

At least it's not another CoD with tiny maps.

ThanatosDMC4731d ago

Kinda disappointed with 16v16 but it sounds mostly grounded. Oh well, maybe they'll make Warhawk 2 bigger. Anyway, im still looking forward to this game. Hope PSN comes back soon.

thor4731d ago

Again, Warhawk 1 was 16v16. Only in Warhawk beta were there 64-player matches and they didn't work very well with connection issues, lag and too much chaos.

ThanatosDMC4729d ago

I know Warhawk was only 16v16. I was just hoping for bigger. Have you played the tundra map in Warhawk? That map was too small for 32 players.

BeastlyRig4731d ago

oh this is why is 16 vs 16 look at the graphics!

Warhawk 2 WAS 32 players...but it would be nice to have 64 players like Resistance2 had. or even the king of Massive shooters; MAG with its 256 player battles.

but hey folks, I think they could always bump it up to 64 if they want to. Look at the increased player number in the KZ3 DLC map.

Sevir044731d ago

People are complaining about Starhawks multiplayer size count! LOL! warhawk was the same 32 max players. secondly the footage that was shown of warhawk was multiplayer only since the game was multiplayer. the camera wasn't a cinematic one like this so the view was more distant! but the moment you took to the sky in the warhawk it became evident! i guessmost of you warhawk players forgot what flying a warhawk was like. The way the Stawhawk footage looks was totally reminiscent to warhawk.

It seems like the Mechhawk doubles up as the Tank and the warhawk in any given situation. As the tanks in Warhawk were slow but crazy powerful, and the warhawks were fast and powerul and agile in the air!

Stoked. this will largely be cool because of the destructible physics changing the battle field dynamically on the fly as you build and such. DOWNLOADABLE content will prolly follow in Warhawks footsteps. new maps and vehicles and modes with free. this will prolly be the beta i spend all my time playing! its just amazing!

Graphics, physics, currency, single players! It'll be amazing! the same take to the sky anytime you want from foot soldier to Jeep/Warthog thing to mech/tank to Starhawk/Warhawk gameplay, being able to build bases with air turrets and lazers and such. man! i'm gonna get right back into Warhawk as soon as PSN is online! :-D Stoked

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.

FreeckyCake12d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX12d 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.

Friendlygamer12d ago

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

YourMommySpoils12d ago

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

Friendlygamer12d ago (Edited 12d 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 )

jznrpg12d 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.

RPGer1089d 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.

titans99991089d 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!
