LightBox's kind gesture, allowing gamers to play the multiplayer version of their game for free, before it launches. Shows a huge commitment to the their games multiplayer component. Though betas are usually used for load testing and minor adjustments, LightBox has made a number of adjustments to StarkHawk that have given the beta a highly polished feel

I so CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS GAME TO DROP!

JBaby3435171d ago

Same here. I love being able to fight with the starhawks both in the air and on the ground.

soundslike5171d ago

I was looking forward to this game...until I played the beta.

princejb1345171d ago

blame the create and build mechanics, warhawk is much funner than starhawk

ddurand15171d ago

same here. There isnt much to make me want to come back to it. It hasnt taken my interest away from the games i already own.

Yes, I understand its a beta. But the point still applies.

camel_toad5171d ago

Yeh it just didnt do it for me, seemed cool but the fun factor wasnt there for me. Sticking with the Tribes beta.

JBaby3435171d ago

At first I agreed with you guys but after putting in some time and learning how to use the build mechanics better and strategies for each board I have been loving it. I initially was disappointed thinking Starhawk was a big letdown after Warhawk but now I realize it just has a steep learning curve like Warhawk does.

Definitely can't wait to get it.

Kingscorpion19815171d ago

I have to agree with JBaby343. The build mechanics is really for strategy and strategic game play. So far I'm loving the beta! It is a steep learning curve though.

LoLZoRz5171d ago

Installed the beta, tried to enter a match five times, failed every time, deleted it.

Kingscorpion19815171d ago

You have to go to gamelist to get into games!

LoLZoRz5171d ago

you mean there where you can see what kind of matches are being played?

yeah, I tried that.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

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.

FreeckyCake743d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX743d 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.

Friendlygamer743d ago

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

YourMommySpoils743d ago

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

Friendlygamer743d ago (Edited 743d 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 )

jznrpg743d 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.

RPGer1820d 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.

titans99991820d 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!
