"team up with friends in 1-4 online or offline player co-op mode."

I thought they said the number had been reduced from 4 to 2 or something for online combat in an early Q&A?

EDIT: I'm not complaining though :o)

Seanabon4657d ago

Quick google search and a few links later everything I've found as recently as July 24th states 4 player offline/online co-op.

:D sooo HELL YES

BitbyDeath4657d ago (Edited 4657d ago )

Good to know, i'd go digging for the other but i prefer it to be this way.

Maybe i just read it wrong.

BitbyDeath4657d ago (Edited 4657d ago )

Found it -

"Will you be incorporating split-screen support again?

Yeah, absolutely. We’re not doing 4-way split-screen. That’s something important to note. Four-way split-screen in Warhawk, really when it came down to it, there was so much development cost that went into doing it. When we really looked at the number of players from our data that used it, it was really hard to justify. Especially with Build & Battle and all of our other core systems, we thought it was better to just focus on two screens, which is more common. There’s other great stuff like storing controller configurations and customizations up on the network, so you can go to your buddy’s house and log in and get your stats and control map and all of that stuff."

Maybe they changed their minds since then as this interview was released in May.

Most anticipated game of 2012.

qwertyz4657d ago (Edited 4657d ago )

mass effect 3 and bioshock infinite aren't more anticipated ? lol good one if it was an uncharted game then I'd understand but starhawk ? LOL not a chance.

@bitbydeath

I know it will be great just saying the IP isn't as well known as those stated above.

BitbyDeath4657d ago (Edited 4657d ago )

I'd take Starhawk over all of those titles including Uncharted.

It will be just that awesome

@qwertyz - Warhawk is my favourite game of this gen and Starhawk is an evolution of it. So for those that loved Warhawk will likely love Starhawk just as much if not more.

Seanabon4657d ago

So what your saying is that what you feel should be more anticipated should be what every one else wants more then Starhawk too?

You know some people anticipate Forza 4 more then Gears of War? Ratchet and Clank more then Uncharted?

MysticStrummer4657d ago (Edited 4657d ago )

I'm definitely buying Bioshock:Infinite and UC3, but I'm anticipating Starhawk waaay more than either one. No interest at all in ME3.

one2thr4657d ago

Sooooo......... Can we still do 4 player split screen online matches like WarHawk?

Nexgensensation4657d ago

i'm already use to 32 players online due to kz2. and since this is a ps3 exclusive, i dont have to worry about half of n4g.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

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.

FreeckyCake13d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX13d 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.

Friendlygamer13d ago

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

YourMommySpoils13d ago

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

Friendlygamer13d ago (Edited 13d 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 )

jznrpg13d 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.

RPGer1090d 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.

titans99991090d 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!
