Warhawk Goes Gold: Release Date 28th August

Dylon Jobe, Game Director of Warhawk writes on the Playstation blog that;

"Warhawk has gone gold.

Hells Ya! The PSN and Blu-ray versions have gone "GOLD," completely finished and will go on sale August 28th … just a few weeks away!

Next, what does Warhawk cost?

If you didn't already know, SCEA is taking an exciting new approach with Warhawk – making it available for download directly from the PlayStation Store *and* releasing it at retail simultaneously. Each one has a different price. Why different pricing? A couple of reasons: first off, we wanted to give all of you the option, the retail game is more of a premium version with some expanded video content, traditional package and manual (this seems to mean a lot with some of the gamers I have spoken to), and a Jabra Bluetooth headset bundled with the game – all for $59.99!

The PlayStation Store version will be $39.99 and I'm really glad that SCEA came through with a "good value" price for this – it's the right thing to do."

Now, I'm definitely getting the disc version. Imo, its the better deal with the headset. I'm guessing that this will get buried by 1up and EGM for their reviews because of the price tag lolz.

Meus Renaissance6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

The value pack is the $60 which is even better value. It emphasises to the customer to get a headset, which is a big necessity to play this title. It's one thing alot of PS3 users lack; a headset.

This game is incredibly addictive and fun. Great if you want to get hardcore and create your own clan, or just blow up a few things for 10 minutes.

For its retail price, and the sheer fun - I expect places like 1UP to rate this game atleast on the same score as Shadowrun that got 8/10.

That is fair.

Rythrine6868d ago

I was in the beta and I had fun playing this game. I just remember that headline the other day about 1up giving it a low score if the downloadable content is priced higher than $30 which is really unfair and doesn't make sense at all. I mean, why should the pricetag affect the game review? If we go to their logic, then Calling all Cars should've gotten a 10/10 because its only 10 bucks.

Meus Renaissance6868d ago

Excellent news. No delay then. But the $40 price tag will put alot of people off downloading it, whilst they can get it on Blu-Ray, with a quality headset, for less than $60 in retail stores.

techie6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

Not delayed :) At least in the US

GoLeafsGo6868d ago

Thanks, SCEA! You just helped me make up my mind about picking this up on disk!

By the way, any specifics on the headset?
I'm currently using a Motorola H300, and it sometimes stops working (or interferes with the SIXAXIS controllers).
I'd like to fix that >_<!

Meus Renaissance6868d ago

Jabra 125. Seems to work fine with most of the titles too.

macalatus6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

@princetab,

I can't emphasize this more than enough, but STAY AWAY FROM MOTOROLA, especially the H350!! I used to have the motorola H350, but it caused all kind of weird problems, even occasionally crashing my entire PS3. According to us.playstation.com forum, there seems to be a bug within the motorola headset that can cause your ps3 to disconnect or even crash.

PS. I have the plantronics explorer 330. It works great.

AznSniper6868d ago

ugh.....1up and EGM should not deduct 1 point just for the price......take a look at shadowrun...it's the same thing and they didn't have any problem with the price why warhawk now

Meus Renaissance6868d ago

If they do, then they lose further credibility. Alteast from those who were in the Beta.

WaggleLOL6868d ago (Edited 6868d ago )

"ugh.....1up and EGM should not deduct 1 point just for the price"

Of course they should, it's a PS3 game.

"take a look at shadowrun...it's the same thing "

Not the same, it's a 360 game.

It should be clear to anyone what the 'review policy' is for the Xbots at EGM/1Up:

* PS3 games - find some reason, any reason, to downgrade review scores - like price or motion controls etc.

* 360 games - hype, hype, hype and land that job at Microsoft!

EGM/1Up have zero credibility. Nothing more than another teamxbox.com

I hope you were being sarcastic cause people would flame u

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.

RPGer1847d 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.

titans99991847d 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.

SegaSaturn6692628d ago

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

mkis0072628d ago

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

Knushwood Butt2628d 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.

PoSTedUP2628d 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.

porkChop2758d ago

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

MONOLITHICIDE2758d ago

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

TheSaint2757d ago

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

Babadook72758d ago

Yup. Remaster or better yet. A remake.

FunAndGun2758d 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!

Sevir2758d 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

Concertoine2758d ago

I miss the simplicity of early 7th gen shooters.
