Starhawk Beta Hands-On Impression - JPS

"Just about every game has some group of people that loved it. A while back a few fell in love with Warhark, but most overlooked it. Surprisingly just enough liked it to get a sequel (spiritual successor) named Starhawk. With the beta currently running, many just have to know is this game is a must buy or avoid. So without further ado let’s talk about the beta." - JPS

I have been playing for a week now, and it's pretty solid, but needs a lot of tweeking.
It also feels very different from Warhawk, or the flying does.

Controversy5264d ago

I love me some Warhawk! I gotta get in this beta.

Nykamari5264d ago

Keep checking you email Sony are sending them out, or go to the StarHawk Facebook page they put codes on there. I got in on Tuesday and man what a blast.

saladthieves5264d ago

I still think that they should make the Beta public. This way they can at least stress-test their servers with large amounts of people.

HeavenlySnipes5264d ago

I got a code yesterday. Go to the Starhawk facebook page and wait for one of the devs to come on. They randomly do contests (that are pretty simple) and give codes away. I actually got one just from asking lol. One guy won one of the giveaways, and me and some other guy simply asked for one and we both got a code.

I think they WANT more people to play it, given the amount of codes they are simply handing out, but they can't simply make it public at the moment.

soundslike5264d ago

hows the framerate when the action gets condensed into a certain area?

yess5264d ago

To me it's fluid, no lag, slowdown or screen tearing or anything, runs smooth with 16 players as maximum for now.

Why o why5264d ago

seems fine.. even with big ass structures falling from the heavens. I've not noticed any lag yet

@ egidem im sure they'll make the beta public at some point.

BitbyDeath5264d ago

No problems with lag in this game, and i do like how you can see structures or people coming down from the skies in the distance. Great touch.

fozzyhull5264d ago

loving the beta,deffo buy for me,played abit of warhawk but just never fell for it unlike this

Stallone19935264d ago

I'm in the beta, and it's hella fun! The building is really cool - but when used fairly. They should make a boundary around the flag that should be illegal to build on - time and time again, I found my team building a FORTRESS around the flag, and I was the only one charging to get the flag. Ironically enough, it was difficult for me to get back in WITH the enemy's flag!

Oh - and the spawning is epic! I love the fact that you can crush the bastard that just took your flag!

Nykamari5264d ago

I like building a small fortress near the enemies base, beam cannons, respawn point, sniper tower, and warthog garage. I learned to do this instead of waist my time at my mainbase, the other guys always protect our flag so I try to give my team and short field. I'm loving the.build.and battle system.

yess5264d ago

I do both, base at enemy base and sometimes i stay home, cause i know how to defend home base with small number of walls and turrets.

I hate when someone try to build fort knox or the chinese wall, but people gotta learn by doing i guess.

Why o why5264d ago

loving the biulding. Only just learnt you could upgrade the weapons base type thing by standing close, in or on top of it and selecting the turret option. It puts 3 turrets around the structure instead of the usual 1

SAE5264d ago (Edited 5264d ago )

does anyone have an extra code :)
i have uncharted 3 but didn't get the code :(

Nykamari5264d ago

The Uncharted code is not active, it will be soon. Check my first comment on how to get one early.

SAE5264d ago

i was lucky , i tried from the last codes but it didn't work , almost giving up hope then tried the first code and got it XD..

Nykamari5264d ago

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder756d ago (Edited 756d 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.

FreeckyCake756d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX755d 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.

Friendlygamer755d ago

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

YourMommySpoils755d ago

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

Friendlygamer755d ago (Edited 755d 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 )

jznrpg755d 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.

RPGer1832d 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.

titans99991832d 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!
