CheatCC says - It’s been an interesting year, watching Starhawk grow from a spiritual successor to not one but two games named Warhawk (the second of which was a downloadable, multiplayer-only ordeal) into a standalone, boxed triple-A title. Yes, when I first got my hands on an early build at E3 almost a year ago, I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from the final product.
From the cosmos to crash-landing back on good old planet Earth, come read through the best sci-fi-nastically games on the PS3
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.
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.
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 )
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
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
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.
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!
Pure PlayStation: Pure Reminiscing is a brand new feature from our very own Kyle Durant. It’s… different. Think of it like a mini-novel full of Kyle’s most weird and wonderful musings about games of yesteryear. If nothing else, at least it’s long enough to give you something to do on your journey to work in the morning….
77% metacritic :D
This game is so much fun... should be a contender for multiplayer of the year. It may not have the deepest campaign, but this game is all about the MP.
I wanted to love it, but so far, I only like it. Capture The Flag is fun, the campaign is decent, but co-op is awful. It's still more enjoyable then Killzone 3, Resistance 3 and SOCOM 4...
I'm trying to really like it but there some issues that I have.
For a game so dynamic with the rts elements, every match pans out the same. 3/4 of the server turtle in their base inside turrets or snipers. 1/4 have the balls to venture out.
Everyone just waste resources spamming the same turrets in the same tiny base, no one pushes forward, or when we do 32/32 buildings are used up and we're sol.
The starhawk cluster bomb is the most OP gun of this game. If you are barely hit by it you die horrible, constantly being bombed by hawks "spawn bombing" gets really old, theres no way to avoid them. It's so easy and accurate to use.
I think some variety in maps and maybe more ground units will make this game shine. I expect a bunch of adjustment patches over the next month.
I gotta get this game, just don't know how much ill play when Max Payne 3 comes out.
