Warhawk - Single player dropped

Well anywhere between the walls that confine the level you were in If you flew outside that area you hit the barrier and get shot down I "think"...

 

I'm a sad panda now.

Only positive thing about a MP-only warhawk is "oh well it's better than nothing".

If single playwr sucked it's only because the devs were incompetent. There was nothing about the basic concept that said it was gonna suck in single player. Quite the opposite. Flying games can often be very cool and successful.

Just look at the Wing Commander gmes or X-Wing series or Crimson Skies ofr that matter. That was a game that really truly needed a sequel by thge way..

If land based combat or streaming a full free-roaming world caused problems and delays they should have axed THAT instead and just kept the flying bit within traditional levels. The vids seen from past E3 were incredible and epic. A MP game can NEVER capture that or top it. It's just some random people flying around shooting at you. Meh.

What a letdown.

I feel like if Valve said back in 98 "Half-life SP sucked so now after all our hype we give you Half-Life deathmatch! Wowoo yehaa aren't you all happy now!"

Peace.

 

I believe its up to the devs to decide if theyr game is top notch or not. If they thought the single player lacked alot, why would they go out with half finished product

Now you are taking it too far. There's nothing that shouts incompetent when talking about the makers of warhawk.

I'm quite satisfied with theyr decision, of course I'm somewhat disappointed by the lack of single player but if the multiplayer is top notch like everyone says. I'm all for it, see you at the sky people.

 

Warhawk IGN Hands-On

The game is shaping up quite well, nice to see multiplayer games on the PS3 is going to be well-represented.

 

Nice HDR+AA.

 

I see what you did there.

 

? It's already fourth (released or in development) game with AA+HDR, I feel it'll be almost standard for 1st party games at some point.

 

I think the coolest thing they mentioned is that your friend can be at your house and play split screen online I was also surprised by 25 maps and certain maps have different vehicles and aircraft.

 

I liked that too. Very nice.

It's apparantly disk-based. There might be a demo but the game comes on a disk.

Still MP-only though.

 

Maybe it was just too big for a downloadable title. In any case, I certainly hope they don't try to charge full price for this. That would be way lame.

 

Warhawk 2 in the works for single-player missions?

Could of been just some early concept art poster for the game, or the title for this MP stuff coming later in the year. I didn't see any mention of SP.

 

It depends on the quality and amount of gameplay. You do know Battlezone for the 360 exist and was $60? Which is worth more a 8 hour SP game or 40+ hour MP one? Depends on your preference. I'm mostly a SP guy, so I will probably pass.

 

glad to know that i am not the only person who prefer SP over MP

Interview with Warhawks director Dylan Jobe at 1Up.

 

Sony still insisted at GDC that this game will ship on Blu-Ray, not be a download?

So that would seem to put the kibosh on lower than retail pricing for a multiplayer-only title.
