IGN:

I enjoyed the beta I should have waited for this and not that piece of crap game Twisted metal, it should have been a $20 psn game...

JellyJelly5136d ago

The multiplayer sounds fantastic! Players have to rely on tactics and work together as a team in order to win. Just like it should be :)

@Danniel1
If a game's last act carried that much rating weight, then Mass Effect 3 would be one of the the lowest rated games of all time instead of a 93% avg.

This gen's Hawk games are always about the MP anyways.

StayStatic5136d ago (Edited 5136d ago )

To buy or not to buy that is the question , seems like this game would benefit from investing in a blue tooth headset while I'm at it , being tactical and all.

This looks like a beautiful game. I am a pretty big RTS fan, but not too big on shooters anymore. This game pretty much combines them and turns it into a fresh unique experience.

It reminds me of a much better version of this game called The Outfit that I played back in the early days of the 360. That was one of my favorite games back then (online portion) so I am sure I will have fun with this game now.

I hope this game is supported by the PS3 gamers. Do NOT let this game fail, or risks like this wont be taken again. These are the types of games that should be dominating the industry on all platforms, instead of the typical military shooters of today.

Rated E For Everyone

Sony takes risks even if a game fails to sell like crazy. They won't stop taking risks. That's just their style. See: Heavy Rain, LittleBigPlanet, The Last Guardian, etc. etc. etc. Tons of high profile, niche, AAA games in their portfolio, past and present.

Starhawk looks to be no different. It looks amazing, just like Warhawk.

miyamoto5136d ago (Edited 5136d ago )

Finally a great and sensible comment from you, LX. Keep it up.

This game showed great potential the first time I saw it.

tawak5136d ago

I'm buying this game first day and not because of reviews but because of the proper beta I played of the game . It's nice its getting good reviews which may entice the sheep who relies on them. I would like this game to perform well salewise to ensure a ps4 sequel

grailly5136d ago

I loved the beta and was planning on buying it, but I just pre-ordered it yesterday because I forgot it was coming out so early. It feels like I don't have to wait for it, it's a nice feeling :D

shammgod5136d ago

Same here. I just preordered on Saturday cause I thought it came out at the end of the month. Less waiting more playing. The beta was awesome!!!

MidnytRain5136d ago

Well, when there IS no demo or beta there's not a whole lot else one can do save for dropping the money.

Bebedora5135d ago

I did disagree and have a cause for it:
---------
"It's nice its getting good reviews which may entice the sheep who relies on them.I would like this game to perform well salewise to ensure a ps4 sequel"
---------
That part of your comment just doesn't add up.
You do want volumes in sales, but because anyone not in the beta and those whom has to rely on and buy it from reviews, are sheeps? You just make some people feel dumb. *hoh-hum*

You are not contributing for a game to sell well and still you want it to. Some times it is just the best to leave some of your thoughts out of the comment.
--------

The game looks fantastic and had I had any skill in combat or strategy at all, I'd be allover it. I have warhawk and can confess to that. It seems so fast, my internal logic will go banana. :)

Got my limited edition preordered can't wait! I wish there was a collectors edition with a little model warhawk though

VanillaBear5136d ago

Least you guys are getting a limited edition, they havent done one for Europe.

I mean is it really that hard to give us a limited edition. <sigh>

jimbobwahey5136d ago

Play.com has the limited edition up for preorder. It doesn't say limited but if you check at the bonus content they give you, it's the same stuff as what's in the American LE.

Limited Edition is exclusive to pre-orders at Gamestop only.

Disccordia5136d ago

Good score. Lets hope people actually buy it.

chazjamie5136d ago (Edited 5136d ago )

they probably wont. i will try to convince people to buy it, so then maybe i can buy it

ClimateKaren5135d ago

My pre-order is paid in full. They deserve my day-1 money for this one.

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder778d ago (Edited 778d 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.

FreeckyCake778d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX777d 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.

Friendlygamer778d ago

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

YourMommySpoils778d ago

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

Friendlygamer778d ago (Edited 778d 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 )

jznrpg778d 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.

RPGer1854d 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.

titans99991854d 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!
