"Starhawk delivers a great online multiplayer experience with a varied gameplay and innovative features."

Nice, I'm picking my copy up tomorrow. The beta was pretty fun.

BosMa4362d ago

This game will offer a few good pieces of "exclusive" items, the founders hand for beta users and my fav the paint schemes and skins from the hawks in warhawk ( dont know about you guys but im lovin that) and they are what exclusives should be, something which will not be recycled for sale or dlc in the future, ever.. considering the free soundtrack and many perks from pre-order i think this is just a nice way to provide fans w/ good bonus content w/o slapping a "collectors edition" price tag to go with it, and i know that many of you guys can list about 5 games of the top of your head which offered less content but charged full collectors edition price as well as turning the exclusives into a joke.. it doesnt hurt that light box interactive are a bunch of devoted guys who truly respect their fans and work, unlike a david jaffe sort.. so i have many reasons i will be picking this up and like i said it feels better to line the pockets of developers who are hands on and care about their product rather than ... well you get the picture. I hope to see you guys on the battlefields of starhawk

Something tells me this game won't sell as they want it to.

Dante1124362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

How much do they want it to sell? Link me to the official source, I wanna see what their plans were.

Edit: Also, 3 disagrees for just saying that I was gonna buy the game in my first comment lol? *smh*

DirtyLary4362d ago

@dante , in this case those disagrees are jealously. Probably someone that can't afford both systems.

dc14362d ago

Something tells me that the good will of over 5 years of warhawk.... this game will sell just fine.

Picking up two copies tomorrow.

Nykamari4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

Then you don't know about WarHawk hardcore fans! They will buy it, can't wait until tomorrow. Dc just beat me!

Regent_of_the_Mask4362d ago

I'm a hardcore Warhawk fan and I'm not gonna buy this garbage. I'd rather just stick with Warhawk.

The only reason it won't sell is because they're not advertising enough. I'm seriously reading comments over the web right now and people have never even heard of this game before lol.

Ducky4362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

It's probably not going to get the sales it deserves due to the low amount of advertisement the game has gotten...
That, and the game is released way too close to MaxPayne3.

Tdmd4362d ago

I hope you're wrong, for this one should be looked as a model for future shooters. It's ideas are just the sort of inovations this genre oh so desperately needs - and it won't be able to influence anything unless it sells enough to be on the spotline for a while.

BosMa4362d ago

they hit gold in pre-order sales, so im sure its a very good start when many games do not hit gold @ launch or ever

The inly reason it wouldnt sell well is that no one is pushing it! When i preordered online i had to search for the game as it wasnt on the main ps3 page yet black ops 2 already was at its stupid price!

Its a joke!

BosMa4362d ago

marketing, i love the whole dry humor and funny commercials from kevin butler but half the time i couldnt tell what was being advert'd or see much content.. They did better w/ uncharted 3 but geez, drake w/ a footlong from subway? well kevin butler is doing bridgestone commercials and is "on the bench" atm for sony but you make a good point, they need to market more like microsoft, forza 4 music still chimes in my ears, done well , straight to the point and gives gamers what they want to see, the game not a funny guy on a horse.. it pains me to say this because i love kevin butler but sony dropped the ball for many years in the marketing dept, especially for their exclusives but i have noticed/read that they are taking a new straight forward approach as of this year

Dojan1234362d ago (Edited 4362d ago )

I will wait for more reviews before I buy.

iceman064362d ago

Small note of warning...Warhawk, and I assume Starhawk, won't receive scores that match how much fun AND how good the game truly is. It is a game all it's own. Sure, it borrows here and there. But, for the most part, the way that it plays is truly original. Having to protect a base from land and multiple air attacks is pretty different for most traditional multiplayer junkies. Add in the building aspect, and Starhawk is ripe for some pretty strategic battles. That being said, I respect your decision to wait and see.

european_cannon4362d ago

But fun experiences in a team multiplayer only game like Starhawk all depend on the people your playing it with, which will most likly be a bunch of morons (good luck with that). So, its kind of a let down SP is so bad in this game (by what all reviews are saying anyway).

iceman064362d ago

True...but Warhawk has a pretty solid community. Sure, there will always be one or two to ruin the experience. But, overall, the players have experience with the way the game flows and what is needed to accomplish tasks in the game and for the most part they will play it correctly.

neutralgamer194362d ago

Disappointing graphics? I stopped reading right there. I loved the beta graphics so i doubt final product is disappointing. What are thy comparing graphics too? I knw not call of duty or bf bcus this game looks better and holds its own. I have a copy right now and am omw to ply it.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder4d ago (Edited 4d 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.

FreeckyCake3d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX3d 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.

Friendlygamer3d ago

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

YourMommySpoils3d ago

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

Friendlygamer3d ago (Edited 3d 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 )

jznrpg3d 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.

RPGer1080d 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.

titans99991080d 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!
