Starhawk Vs Starcraft Battle: With Shane Satterfield, HipHopGamer & Torrence Davis ” Must See “

Gametrailers TV Producer Shane Satterfield along with the HipHopGamer & Thebitbag.com Editor N Chief Torrence Davis Battles it out.

Starcraft is easily one of the most recognized games in the history of gaming, and with the brand new Starhawk arriving there’s some elements from the RTS genre that has been revolutionized in Starhawk.

Although both games are different, is it still fair to compare the two especially when Starhawk raises the bar in a area that the classic starcraft doesn’t?

This video is Funny, Intense, Educational, and very very Exciting stay tuned you don’t want too miss it.

Sigh Hiphopgamer. He so unprofessional. If he wants people to take him seriously. He should go back to high school and learn some basic English

[LOGICWINS]

Sony gave him his own Home space and hes made an appearance on GTTV. Some people out there with high influence in this industry are taking him seriously.

"Although both games are different, is it still fair to compare the two especially when Starhawk raises the bar in a area that the classic starcraft doesn’t? "

still butthurt about that public lashing n4g gave you last week when you tried to say starhark would be better than starcraft hhg?

hhg freakin admits to not ever playing starcraft lol

stay classy hhg

btw the white boy owned you. and starcraft players do play RUSE while playing starcraft. you seriously need to look up what starcraft is and what it's about.

It's been out for over a decade dude and your grandma's 486 could run it. you're not doing yourself any favors here by saying you've never played it.

[Nitrowolf2]

@ evrfighter

yeah that is just ridiculous.
It's an opinion, but come on don't make it if you haven't played either game yet then, especially if starcraft been out for some time.

Comparison is invalid then

[LOGICWINS]

I thk the comparison is invalid as well for a couple of reasons, one being that he hasn't played Starhawk yet, and I doubt he's spent any significant amount of time with Starcraft(could be wrong about this).

If he DID do these two things, he'd realize that Starcraft is an RTS, whereas Starhawk is a 3rd person action game with RTS elements. Dylan Jobe HIMSELF said that Warhawk has RTS "elements"(the game isn't a full-fledged RTS).

In the end, I think all Hiphop wants to show is that PS3 exclusives are innovating MORE than PC exclusives. THIS I can agree with.

[Voxelman]

@LOGICWINS Before shooting your mouth off maybe you should play Starcraft 2 seriously, then play the PC exclusive games Savage 1/2, Battlezone II: Combat Commander and Iron Grip: Warlord then see if you still think that starhawk is innovative or that PC games aren't pushing new gameplay innovation

In fact I challenge you to name as many PS3 game innovations as you can, I bet I can counter every one with a PC game innovation from the last 5 years or tell you how that inovation was done first on PC

[kramun]

'I think all Hiphop wants to show is that PS3 exclusives are innovating MORE than PC exclusives.'

Lol, you are deluded.

[Nitrowolf2]

You know your English isn't that great either and your trolling is even worse. As bad as some of his grammar may be, i think the information he can get from devs and such should be enough.

[LOGICWINS]

Agreed. Can't wait to see his E3 coverage!

[the_kutaragi_baka]

Oh man... HHG . The sad this is that cows actually listen to that D-B guy. =/

[Jezuz]

Why do retards approve this ?

[GiggMan]

"He so unprofessional."

I have a problem with that sentence. I think I may need to go back to high school.

[ThanatosDMC]

Even worst is that the video auto plays! How do you block the player from doing this?

[kramun]

You can do it on firefox with adblock, which is the first thing I did in another HHG BS article. I'm not sure about other browsers though.

[natwitgudvib]

Listen his articles are geared towards the hip hop community, hence the name HIPHOPGAMER! Get it! Not everyone in this world wants to be a tight ass square.

And he is taken very seriously!! Thats why he gets interviews with developers, and also gets into the big
conferences.

[Nitrowolf2]

Both games are great.
I just love the idea how the devs are mixing RTS with this third person shooter game. That was something unexpected. I was just expecting warhawk but in space and with better graphics. Glad they are raising the bar and surprising us gamers.

Love the idea that we can shape the battle.

[Kleptic]

totally agreed...ever since the name 'starhawk' was leaked around a year ago...I couldn't help but think how cool it would be to have some rts like stuff added to a game like Warhawk...make it as fast and basic as possible...and a competitive action game where you build your own bases, and have to destroy your opponents man made bases sounds incredible...and simple...

can't wait...

[Hitman0769]

Both games are definitely great Nitrowolf. RTS elements are definitely mixed into Starhawk. The most 2 obviously defined as "RTS Elements" in the entire genre are present: Base Building and Resource Gathering. It's more of an RTS than C&C 4 garbage is. Overhead Strategy? That's Starcraft 2, C&C 4, etc., RTS? That's Starcraft not C&C 4. RTS Elements missing from C&C 4? Building and Resource gathering. Go ahead disagree. You know I'm right.

[BeastlyRig]

This guy is a joke most of the time imo...

[DiRtY]

So on the one hand we have a game that created esports and defined not just a genre, but online gaming and a decade of gaming in general.

On the other hand we have a game that will get average reviews and fail to sell more than 2million.

Compared by a guy who openly admits that he never played Starcraft. Classic.

[SpaceSquirrel]

I prefer Starhawk. Never was a fan of the RTS genre.

[Mikeyy]

LOL, starhawk, overthrowing STARCRAFT?

This has to be a joke. Thats a big statement when your talking about the biggest RTS ever...

[yamzilla]

hophop,

you do know starcraft 2 shits on warhawk, starhawk,killzone, uncharted, halo, resistance, rachet and clank,

the only console games i can think of, trying as hard as i can, that are even, close, EVEN close to the splendor of starcraft 2,

Demon's Souls-epic game
Oblivion
God of war 3

other than that, you ain't got shit, do not even mention Starcraft 2

you're not worthy

by the way

The Witcher 2 is better than any console game ever made!!

by far, very, very far

[ATiElite]

Torrence "Have you played Starcraft or Starhawk yet"?
HHG "No"
Torrence "well this video is OVER"!

My thoughts exactly. HHG is a fraud, fake, mouth full of spit broken English using FOOL who knows ZERO about PC Gaming so HHG STFU!

the RTS/FPS Hybrid has been done long before Starhawk
Natural Selection 1 & 2, Nuclear Dawn, Raven Squad, Project Combine, Iron Grip Warlord,Battlezone 1 & 2, Quake Wars, C&C Renegade,Ghost Wars, Savage, etc.

I can go on and on. I'm excited for Starhawk like a lot of people but don't go thinking it's revolutionary until you do your Homework.

Don't ever compare anything to Starcraft. Starcraft 1 has sold over 12 million copies. SC2 sold 2 million on day 1, is the national sport of S.Korea and is the top game for Both eSports leagues where professional gamers make hundreds of thousands of dollars playing SC2. Lastly Starcraft is a traditional RTS and not a hybrid.

HHG would of been better off comparing Starhawk to previous hybrids, Tower Defense games, or maybe even Battlefield 2 with the Commander game play.

[soundslike]

Just gonna put this out there, there has been RTS influenced action games on PC

Check out Savage 2, its free.

The community sucks, but hey its free!

[Simon_Brezhnev]

You can tell shane dont care about Starhawk

[Nicaragua]

So not only is HHG unaware that a hybrid RTS/TPS game is not revolutionary and have been around on the PC for over a decade (Battlezone), he also admits he has never even played Starcraft and yet KNOWS that an unreleased game he has never played (Starhawk) is a better game.

Has there ever been a shittier attempt at gaming journalism?

[trounbyfire]

he is not saying it is better he is saying starcraft in not innovating or pushing the genre forward.

he sees starhawk a console game pushing the genres forward

did you watch

[Nicaragua]

How is Starhawk innovating by doing what has already been done before?

This type of game has existed for many years so to label it as something groundbreaking just because its now happening on a console is nonsense and bad journalism.

And yeah i watched, another 8 minutes of my life down the drain. .

[trounbyfire]

what HHG is saying is the starcraft in not innovating or pushing the genre forward. valid point but all the bs comments not even on topic

he is making the larger point that pc games are less innovative than consoles

[NateCole]

Perhaps so but they are still very different games. He could have say this for most other games as well.

I just don't see the need to bring SC into this. Perhaps he should have just say that StarHawk bring innovation to console gaming and leave it at that.

[kramun]

But pc games did this over 10 years ago, it's not innovative.

[emk2004]

On consoles there was already a game that did the 3ps/rts.
The outfit for xbox 360 was doing this launch day.

[ZombieAssassin]

Ok so I have to admit something...I HATE RTS games, with a passion (no hate toward the players of RTS games though), I could just never get into them...but I'm so excited for Starhawk ever since I seen the gameplay. I've been waiting for a truly good online 3rd person shooter exclusive from Sony (loved Uncharted though) and from the gameplay vids I've seen Starhawk is it.

[NateCole]

You hate RTS?. How dare you!! lol joking.

Its better that way for you. Save you countless hours. God knows how many months i have sinked in SC alone and countless missed assignments hehe

[ZombieAssassin]

Ha yea I know people who are still playing the original starcraft and have been pretty much since launch and that says some great things about the game....I guess I was always more of the lone soldier type of guy and wanted to get in to the action and do some damage on my own rather than send troops and such in to do my dirty work.

[Lulabarbie]

As always, great video...
I do prefer starhawk..

[jakethesnake]

'Let me compare two video games I've never played and have a firm opinion on which is better and which is more innovative.'

I don't even think he knows what Starcraft is other than it sounds like starhawk and it isn't on the PS3.

Trolling at it's finest.

[ATiElite]

Sorry to bust your bubbles but what Starhawk is trying to do has already been done on the PC for over a DECADE...that's 10 years for some. The PC already has FPS/RTS hybrid games plus it has Tower Defense Games which Starhawk basically is.

Nothing new here folks...even the 360 has a game that already does this too (forget the title).

Not bad mouthing Starhawk as it looks great but HHG is a fool and knows Zero about PC Gaming or Gaming period. I guess the idiot decided to compare the two games because they both start with "Star" in their titles cause other than that they have almost nothing in common as they are entirely two different genre's.
