Anyone else played warhawk??

Pretty good game and quite addictive. Actually its the only game i've spent more than 10minutes on the ps3.

Will really help Sony when it gets released. Cannot make out some of the voice though when people are speaking, don't know if this is just me.

People saying its more fun than halo 3 beta. I can't comment as I've not played it.

I think it looks really, really naff.

Graphics are ok, nothing groundbreaking. Game is really fun though.

Are you on the US beta? I tried sign up with my US PSN account but never got an e-mail saying I was accepted

Ditto, from now on it should be known as Sony battlefield.

I seen a video of it and it just looks so bad, the on foot movement looks completely retarded too.

Plus the way the planes fly looks awful and way too simple.

Tricked ps3 using ps3proxy to think it was installing Folding@home when really it was warhawk.

Not played it but i read a lot of reviews about the Beta , IGN, Gamespot, Kotaku, 1up, Euro gamer all seem to like it and have said its more fun than the other beta test going on at the moment. Not played it yet but there is supposed to be a Euro beta going to happen perhaps after the US one has finished, may have fixed the crashes by then aswell. I didnt think the graphics looked that bad, they have improved a lot since the first lot of videos, anyway i thought it was gameplay over graphics? Or does that just apply to the Wii? I shall be getting it specially as its touted as being a $30 download game from the PS Store.

I think it looks great!Reminds me of BF2

RuMp3l4$k1n · 3 Jun 2007 at 17:01

Its the gameplay that bothers me not the graphics. It is again Sony repackaging someone elses stuff and putting it out as their own wonderful ideas.

While it is nice to see that dowload games are getting better than 80s arcade ports I dont think this is the wonder title its being hyped as. Im not saying that it isnt going to be good fun, I just really dont like the way it is being show atm.

Your in for a suprise as I think this will catch on quick. I wasn't fussed with it until I played it. Nothing like holding r1 with the rocket launcher waiting until you get a full lock on one of the other teams warhawks and blast it out the sky

The ground to air missiles and turrets are cool too.

RuMp3l4$k1n · 3 Jun 2007 at 17:12

As I said its the way its being presented so far that I dont like.
You guys here are good because you explain further than just 'omg it wtf pwns halo,UT3, xbox live dl etc etc' which is what im seeing everywhere else from both forums and sony pr.

What sort of modes can you play on this? I have only seen the devs showing off the BF style node capping so far.

Had a look at earlier, do you think theres any danger that Sony could do something nasty to your console/ ID? As it is kinda theft in a way i suppose, i know its not paid for but you know how some companies react. Kinda hope not though

Johnnytoxic · 3 Jun 2007 at 17:17

dm, tdm, ctf, zone.

Zones is cool. There are about 5-10 around the map your team has to occupy them. When I first start off I get in me warhawk and capture as many as I can before the other team. The more you occupy the harder it is for the other team to take. Well it takes a few minutes to capture it again if your the enemy in the zone.

Probably my favourite mode as the planes in the game make it great trying to defend it.

No there are no email checks or anything. If I tried this method with Calling All Cars...which would be wrong and stealing, the game will not load saying your not authorized to play this.

With warhawk there are no checks.

I log in through my U.S account. I've been playing since not long after it started.

Bossy papa · 3 Jun 2007 at 18:08

is there no checks creating a U.S account ?

How are they repackaging someone else ideas and putting it out as their own?

Warhawk is a remake of the PSOne game, the online has DM, TDM, CTF and Zone/Conquest. What are they ripping off and passing as their own?

RuMp3l4$k1n · 3 Jun 2007 at 19:01

As I said I had only seen the Zones mode and anyone and their aunt can see its bloody battlefield lets not play silly here.

Thats not taking away from the fact that it can be a fun game all the same. Also where the franchise started has no bearing on my opinion as regards this game mode.

Well you did say the game was Sony trying to show everyone else work off as their own, when it isn't.

Just because all you have seen is the Zone mode, which represents 1/4 of the game modes available, doesn't mean the game/Sony/Incognito are ripping anyone off. There are plenty of gmes that use a conquest type of game, not just BF. Even CoH, UT 2004, and iirc Gears Of War, uses conquest in some fasion. At that conquest is just an altered version of King Of The Hill.
And if you actually read about the Zone mode you would see the differences between that and the conquest mode in BF.

RuMp3l4$k1n · 3 Jun 2007 at 19:56

You even put it as zone/conquest yourself.... :rolleyes:

Re read what I have said please as this is now an uncomfortable debate where I had actually asked for more info on the game and it's respective modes.

I was simply presenting how I had percieved the marketing of this game to be from the interviews and information I had seen from both Sony themselves and certain fanboys hailing it as the ps3's halo killer (a game im not particularly taken by anyway).
I dont even blame the fanboys for wrapping this game in mega hype after all it did start life as a premeire title at last years E3 before the changes.

We can ding dong like this all day if you like or you could present me with some positive info on the game like I had asked for and like I was seeing from others already before you kicked this off again.
