Starhawk is multiplayer, just like Warhawk was. I think it's good they include a campaign that explains the mechanics and a co-op horde mode, but I do hope that after release reviewers realise that the meat is in the multiplayer, a very unique and balanced multiplayer that takes more than a few rounds to learn. I'm having a blast with the beta now and it's amazing to see in how many different ways you can play this game, what this game offers in strategy, and how well balanced eve...

Have multiple gamestudios make good videogames in multiple genres so you can sell these to your customers all year long for many years. That shouldn't be so hard. I have a 360 but there are no games on the horizon anymore that I'm waiting for, last one was Gears 3. If the next xBox is again mostly Halo-Gears-Forza I think I'll pass. 2007 was their best ...
MGS games have a good variety in difficulties, you don't have to be a hardcore player to be able to finish them, the higher difficulties are there for the fans who want to get the most out of the experience. Far better than series that get dumbed down over time to appeal to the masses. MGS games are best experienced on the higher difficulties so as a player you will have to use most of the available gamemechanics in order to finish it. Only then these games become good for us fans. As men...
Last generation was all singleplayer games for me, this gen it's mostly multiplayer that I prefer...but I gladly retreat from battle a few days to enjoy a good singleplayer adventure, and this series is the best. All 3 parts you play with a smile from beginning to end, and because you can't stop playing the average absence from the battlefield is only 2 or 3 days:)
Right now everybody with a PS3 can get a free taste of a very unique game coming out this summer, I'm talking about the Starhawk Beta ofcourse. The multiplayer successfully combines TPS & RTS and offers so many different ways to play the game, it's really addictive because the balance between available vehicles is (imo) very good, there's no ultimate weapon on the battlefield.
So cool, so fresh, but zero attention in the media, so a lot of people will miss thi...
Worthless stats, I was hoping to read about stats per weapon and vehicle, what is mostly killed by what etcetera. It's rock-paper-scissors gameplay after all. I'm not good in a Hawk but you can bring-em down with a tank (use repairgun in 2nd seat is great) or if they're on the ground, with a jetpack & rocketlauncher combo.
I hope they ad at least 2 more load-outs, one with everything available and one without Hawks. Blasphemy perhaps, but I'm sure there...
Much more to offer in games all year long, and I don't really care how much 'power' they use. 2012 already has Twisted Metal, there's Sorcery and Starhawk coming up in May. Starhawk will probably be the most fun and fresh new MP game this year judging by the beta. If not than perhaps Dust 514 with it's EVE Online interaction, also coming this year. The Last Guardian is still in development, so is The last of us. And besides Quantic Dream there's also new games coming f...
I have been playing for a month now and this game is SO DAMN ADDICTIVE! Here you are on a jetbike with the flag, straight through a tankbattle, Hawks dogfighting & exploding over your head, the sound of an incoming nuke...it's sometimes just beautifull to look at from a distance:) So much action, very impressive.
Good news, breaking down The Great Wall of China goes much faster now with 1.3. No more holding that button forever, just push triangle near the icon and another button, and gone it is. Friendly fire is not on yet, but the melee kills are different now, you actually hold somebody down to stab him, and in different ways like KillZone.
Unfortunately not, on the jetbike you can use all your own guns, but as soon as you aim you stop fast. If jetbikers meet they get off their bikes & duel;) The bike has a little jump.
The tank is called an Ox and has no tracks but 6 wheels, steers a bit like a forklift I remember. The gun shoots in straight line, no arch but I did see an incoming arch when a tank aimed at me, perhaps 2nd fire I dunno. To easy to kill, 3 or 4 rockets and the turret can't go all the way up so aga...
I forgot: connectionproblems. Gone! Perhaps due to only a few players but no "Failed to connect" or anything like that, and I experienced that a lot before. And we don't have to wait for Emmet to stop tossing that thing and stop leaning and then perhaps grab his PDA etcetera etcetera, it's much faster now.
The update was available earlier today by mistake, I'm one of the 'lucky' few... we can only play against eachother, and there's not many:(
Download is a little over 1GB, and was sloow. Cool map though, not that big from the air but it is in a groundvehicle. Dusty Marlboroland, clear sky, desert for boundary. Other 2 maps have few little changes too and the interface is different, and other stuff like deploying vehicles. There's 2 new vehicles: jetbike and...
Fake ofcourse, but we'll see part 4 sooner or later. What's a sword to the chest if you can take a 2 ton pillar from twenty miles away with only minor inconveniences? A setting here and now would be nice, to follow up on that unlockable video in GoW1 where US troops discover the skeleton of Chronos. I just hope it's for PS3 and not Vita.
The beta is so much fun, and there's a lot of people playing. Can't wait for update 1.3 and the first 32 player map. This game needs a good party system, full clan support, tournaments, the works.
1. Land your pot on the Hawk platform.
2. Deploy a Hawk and take to the sky.
3. Shoot at least one riftbarrel on your way to the enemy base.
4. Land next to enemy flag, shoot the one turret they managed to build.
5. Grab the flag.
6. Crush the remaining defender with a garage from the sky, jump in the buggy & get the hell out of there:)
All in one minute, yes I love this game, May can't come fast enough. And I don't care if ...
Starhawk beta is a hell of a lot of fun, damn original to. Runs great. Will it sell Gears or Halo numbers? Absolutely not, but it will sell enough to keep the fans busy for at least 2 years, like MAG still does. That's what matters to me, I'm not a shareholder.
Ha, I was punching those walls back in '87, remember that 8-bit sound. This is Big Boss, switch off your MSX:)
PSN will be SkyNet!
Sweet mother of God & all things with teeth, praise the Lord for games going gold in january.
Bit late perhaps. Halo 3, BioShock and Mass Effect. Gears was also still new beginning 2007, I'm not sure when the first Forza released for 360. I'm talking about quantity, although in quality this may have also been the best year, I don't think ODST, BioShock 2 and ME2 were any better. Thing is, 2007 was great all year long, from 2008 it was mostly waiting for Q4. PlayStation for me had Warhawk in July, MGS4 in june, KillZone 2 & Heavy Rain in february, MAG in january, 2x inF...
