Preview: Warhawk

At last year's E3, the game was demoed at Sony's press conference as the demonstration of the Sixaxis controller. At the time, the game was promised to have a deep single-player experience following a pilot attempting to liberate his homeland from invaders, as well as a large multiplayer component that supported up to 32 players. However, with the exception of an appearance at last year's TGS, Sony and Incognito kept the game tightly under wraps, spawning numerous rumors on the Web. IGN recently was invited to a Warhawk event by Sony and Incognito, who wanted to set the record straight on the game, as well as give them a hands-on impression of the title.

There's 25 maps involved, so there's no way this is going to be download-only. That'd be too insane. Better to give us the option of both.

lilwingman6980d ago

I was skeptical at first, but after reading that preview, I'd say this game will please a lot of people, and I don't even like war games :P. Sounds like a really engaging title so far, not to mention the seamless split-screen feature.

BIadestarX6980d ago

ohh no digital distribution! Isn't this a blu-ray game? It would take 1 month to download, beside people like holding the physical game on their hands.... [sarcasm level 80]

nix6980d ago

should come out in both formats.... but so far so good. (:

smeg0rz6979d ago

stop moaning with your download times, this being multiplayer only, your looking at a lot of the CGI, Music and other mediums being cut out, just look at DEMOS on xbox live, they are no were near the size of the full game, maps are nothing in size, even if your looking at 3-4gb it's just a fact of leaving it over night if u have a slow connection, and if u have slower than 1mb, you just shouldnt be playing the game anyway...

Looks good, good work Incognito!

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.

RPGer1809d 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.

titans99991809d 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!

Remembering Warhawk – one of the PS3’s first multiplayer must-haves

TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."

I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.

SegaSaturn6692590d ago

This game...my god. What a masterpiece.

mkis0072590d ago

I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.

Knushwood Butt2590d ago

Time just flew by when playing this, and I always had that, 'just one more game, then I quit for the day.' urge.

Spent entire days playing it. Not healthy, but endless fun.

PoSTedUP2590d ago

after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.

Guess I can now plat all stars😁

porkChop2720d ago

A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.

MONOLITHICIDE2720d ago

I only diagree because please dont say that. We have had zero games like this so far. No MAG, SOCOM, TWISTED METAL etc...

TheSaint2719d ago

I'd kill or die for a MAG 2 on PS4.

Babadook72720d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2720d ago

Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!

Sevir2720d ago

Honestly, Warhawk and the original Resistance was pure multiplayer bliss on PS3 in it's first few years on the market. If they did a ground up remake of Warhawk for PS4 I'd be so happy. In similar to how they did Wipeout Omega collection on PS4

Concertoine2720d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
