Warhawk server info.

I played a bit of Warhawk a while back and wondered how they well it would work regarding latency, and match making as it is a global multiplayer game. It was ok during the Beta but most of the games were in the US so I had a few problems every now and then. Well looks like it wont be a problem when the game is released, no wonder Sony ship from factory was so high, with regards to customer sold ,there all in the Warhawk servers lol.
have a look at this link fromthe PS blog

Wow, that's pretty awesome.

I'm looking forward to this game more and more every day. It's weird because when I first heard about it I really wasnt that bothered, but the more I read about it the more I think it's going to be a really good addictive game.

Yeah, I'm getting Warhawk the instant it's out on the PSN. Maybe we should make a Warhawk/PSN tag thread for grouping when the game nears release?

Whens is it released cant find a set European date?

KNiVES · 8 Aug 2007 at 20:32

I think it's the 28th of August. A definite date has been set, the game has gone gold already. It will sell for 39 dollars on the PSN and 49 dollars boxed with a headset. I don't know how that will translate to European pricing.

Whoah - rack mounted PS3s - I always assumed that PS3 game servers would be wintel based - not the case here at all.

That's an awesome sight :cool:

Only reference I could find regarding a UK release date was this "Availability: This item will be released on November 30, 2007." from the rainforest site - also says RRP is £49.99...!!!!!!!

Thats way too expensive for that game.

[EDIT] Just checked another well known site and the RRP is £39.99 and it says this "Due for release on 14/09/2007".

Hmmm, I guess no-one really knows yet when it's gonna be out or how much it will be!

I guess if you're not bothered about having the headset you could get it from the US store for $40 (£20), global servers so I don't expect lag, match making etc being a problem. I may import it from the US, but will wait for confirmation about any multi player issues.

I've read that it's a worldwide release.

It will probably work out cheaper from US store, so I may just do that

Seems a bit strange if they don't release it on the store at the same time over here? Maybe retail will be later on but I would have thought they'd want it out a.s.a.p. for everyone?

Anyway this IMO is a must buy I just hope Sony have ironed out all the issues from the Beta. If they have it will be interesting how this fairs compared to other big name online games like Halo and how long it can maintain players interests?

At the end of the day it's all about the community.

^^details here.^^

$40 for download off PSN, $60 for the retail BluRay which has some HD making of vids and also a Jabra Bluetooth headset. no UK pricing but I would guess 34.99-39.99 for retail release and maybe 19.99 for PSN.

I will get it off the US store on 28th Aug, unless for some reason it is cheaper on the UK store.
