GB: "After going hands on with Starhawk at E3 2011, we decided to write a preview on what Starhawk needs to improve on. Warhawk was, and still is, one of the best online shooters available for the PS3. It offers a fast paced romp, but with the tactical depth of some of the best games in the genre. That said, with five years in development so far, Starhawk has had the time to correct the little flaws that were present in Warhawk. Here are ten improvements we'd like to see made by the time Starhawk launches next year."
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….
If they plan this well, they can easily create new worlds or planets that the user can fly to in their warhawk, or starhawk... and based on the worlds they create, there would be equipment matched to those styles of worlds, or alien beings that you can make use of their equipment, should be interesting to see... that starhawk needs more weapons systems tho, that gunner on the starhawk is going to get boring after awhile..
No hover mode sucks, but the game looks promising.
Nothing beats the original Warhawk on the original Playstation.
I hope Sixaxis flight controls are still available. Incognito totally owned that technology!
I loved those controls.
More levels? Warhawk has like 40 levels.
Yes, they are TECHNICALLY map variants, however for example North Bridge plays completely different to outpost despite being the same map. They are in my view different level because most of them provide a completely different expereince, require different skills and some are more fun for certain players. Heck I LOVED North Bridge, only map I played, it just feels so good to get in a Jeeo ride full speed with some guy on the turret firing.
I also got my best kill, fully populated map, we spawned town side, they on the low ground, they planted mines, a LOT of them. I shot a sniper, hit the mine, they mis spaced them, set off a chain reaction. Destroy 2 tanks and 3 jeeps... felt epic.
