I hear so much about sales in SW that its easy to forget that the most important thing in this war is games. I saw a video of Warhawk on accident and heard about the gameplay concept and this is pretty interesting, I gotta admit. Not 600 dollars interesting, but definitely something I thought cows would grasp on, as opposed to something like Killzone which only aspires to compete with Halo.

 

Warhawk is different. Why didn't you guys tell us that the environments changed and expanded the longer you kept the territories?

I think games shouldn't be hyped.  Or not overhyped.

It's not shiny enough, comparisons would start. Most likely with Gears, I'm freakin' pumped for Warhawk but I do remember quite a lot of hype when the new videos on GTrailers was released but as always it was just smacked down by legions of lemmings.

Edit: I swear to god, that annoys me so much. 'It's good, but not 600 dollar good.' 'Good graphics, but not 600 good'. What the hell is that supposed to mean.

all it is...is a direct copy of Battlefield....with a few new features, and some non-exsistant features....Its pretty unlikely that it will score AAA.

maybe because there is no single playerchigga102

 

Agreed....that is my number 1 gripe that made me lose interest in the game completely, as the single player campaign is the main reason that I buy games in the first place. Another reason is that it is only going to be availible as a download only, so for me at least, Warhawk is not even close to being on my radar of wanted games.

I personally am hyping this game like hell. But the majoirty of PS3 fanboys don't hype it because it doesn't have mindblowing graphics. PS3 fanboys only care about graphics, and Warhawks aren't that amazing.

I don't hype it because I don't believe in hyping unless I'm hyping myself. However, I do think Warhawk is going to be loads of fun and I can't wait for that demo/beta they were hinting at in a recent interview.

What's that? Resistance a flop? I am sorry, but I was unaware somehow that an 8.6 here on GS was considered to be a "flop". All of these other sites seemed to think that it was a pretty fantastic game as well:

I've seen Warhawk hyped.  Not by all Sony fans or most in general, but I've seen quite a few hype it.

Warhawk looks like a more arcade-y version of Battlefield 2, that's why. That doesn't mean it won't be good, but the original Warhawk was FUN. They should never have tried to shoehorn ground combat in a game that at its core began as a flight simulator.

i feel ya, but why shouldnt they try to expand the gameplay and shake things up?..  this is "teh next gen" right?..  :wink:

i'm actually more excited about the game now than i was when i thought it was just another flight sim..  dog-fights are cool, but dog-fights included within 32-player land-and-ground warfare sounds alot better..  you still get the flight combat and dog-fights but now you're getting an entirely different level to the gameplay..

honestly, i didnt like the "cartoony" look they were going for initially..  but now that i think about it, it seems like the right choice..  the original Warhawk definitley wasnt "serious" by any means (did you see those corny cutscenes?..  :lol: ) and a "cartoony" look definitely didnt hurt the GTA series..  8)..  it may help the casual players "just hop in" and have fun with the game when compared to some of the more realistic games like R6 or GRAW..

the fact is we dont need to hype warhawk because there is like 50 videos of its gameplay. we know what we are gonna get. and warhawk is the main reason i bought my ps3. co-op online split screen. if its aiming physics and such are better then bf2's then all hell will break loose with this game. so many people are still addicted to bf2. imagine a console version with sixaxis for the plane controls. amazing from all the reviews the sixaxis was amazzinggg

apparently some people think that you buy a console for one game..  even if other games you like are currently available or become available over the next 5-10 years, you can only play one game per console..  :|

Here il clear it up for you. Resistance had AAA hype it got a AA score. Thats a flop.Â
