Starhawk announced!
Archive: 64 posts
| Seeing as I have posted on the Warhawk forum about LBP 2 in the past figured teh same should be done in this case. Starhawk has been announced (well more so that it had in the past). http://playstation.systemlink.me/2011/04/starhawk-confirmed-first-details-leaked.html Should be a fun game to play when I am not on LBP2 and have spare time. | 2011-04-29 04:05:00 Author: celsus  Posts: 822 |
| WHEREWHOWHATWHENWHY?!?!?! *looks at link* http://files.sharenator.com/funny_dog_pictures_omg1_OMG_pics-s449x380-21540-580.jpg It's gonna be a Warhawk with better grahpics!!... AND a single-player!! DO WANT!! :hero: | 2011-04-29 04:37:00 Author: Outlaw-Jack  Posts: 5757 |
| Lol, nice pic. The spaceship thing was nice too, I keep hoping they will toss in larger ships like in the early builds of Warhawk...but I am not sure if they will. | 2011-04-29 04:39:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| sounds like it might turn out to be something like the original concept trailers from battlefront 3 (y'know, before it got axed!) I still play warhawk online now and still really enjoy it. I will say however, that I cant really imagine there being more then one space map because surely all of space looks the same? unless theres like an astroid feild or whatever... | 2011-04-29 10:34:00 Author: Smudge228  Posts: 533 |
You'd be suprised with levels you can come up with in space. If anything, you can be more inventive. For example, it's an FPS, but here's a video of a game called shattered hoirizon: (My recording too  )http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r1CuKke2X6Y Tons of room for levels, fear not  | 2011-04-29 12:20:00 Author: ryryryan  Posts: 3767 |
| This sounds pretty good. I don't own Warhawk, but I play it splitscreen with my friend. It's a lot of fun so I might buy this one. | 2011-04-29 20:40:00 Author: Radishlord Posts: 706 |
| ... I bought Warhawk a long time ago off PSN... and this has reignited my interest. I would download and play it... if only that were possible of course. /sigh But ya... when PSN DOES come back on... I propose we have some Warhawk match or something. To celebrate. Yeah. I'd suck though :/ Also, must say it's about time, didn't think those guys who made Warhawk could be doing nothing forever XD | 2011-04-29 23:09:00 Author: RockSauron  Posts: 10882 |
| Ok guys, some new ( and for anyone waiting, really exciting) news! http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2011/05/07/starhawk-teased-again/ This article basically tells of Dylan tweeting agian, but this time its of more importance. He has actually now stated that there will be some kind of reveal next friday, so heres hoping its not been super rub-a-dub he's been working on for the last few years! I recon this reveal has probably been pushed forwad by sony to get people to stick with psn after the recent hacks. | 2011-05-07 12:26:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Lol, I was thinking the same thing. I know they were planning to announce something soon anyways, but it almost seems like they have been feeding us info in the past few weeks comapred to the nothign we got before. I am sure the guys on the warhawk forums are going crazy now that they could actaully post some new info, but witht he PSN down theycan't sign in to actually post it. | 2011-05-07 15:53:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
Well they were planning to release info soon anyway but I guess Sony may be trying to rush them to cut some losses  ... But yes. I still think we should have some LBPC match in Warhawk when it comes on. ... And I finish redownloading it of course. So, who is with me? :kz: Also, this is NOT fact, but I read an idea that Sony should give Warhawk for free as one of the rewards for the Welcome Back program. I think they should, because 1. it'd be a good game that is enough enough that many people wouldn't own 2. it doesn't bring them much money anyway (probably) 3. they could use it to get people interested in Starhawk So yeah I think that Warhawk should be given for free since Sony apparently is giving some games out anyway. | 2011-05-07 15:55:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| Warhawk had a few annoying urks that turned me off after I bought it; like having to unload an enitre clip to kill someone, auto aim too helpful, ETC. It also didnt have the best graphics, and Im kind of sad that they said it would remain more cartoonish. If this game upped it's graphics to Uncharted quality, and fixed the auto aim issues, I would deffineatly buy this game. Looking forward to next friday! | 2011-05-07 16:13:00 Author: grayspence  Posts: 1990 |
| having to unload an enitre clip to kill someone ...must resist urge to talk smack....ho no the urge is too strong...must hit sumit reply before I talk about skills or being noob... | 2011-05-08 00:40:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| I'm in for LBPcentral match, if anyone else decides to join in. just need someone with good enough bandwidth to host a big enough game, I can only host 4 players *blush* @ grayspence: orriginally uncharted 2 online was the same, minus the auto aim. besides do you realise how hard it would be to kill someone whos jumping all over the place without it? the game would turn into a grenade fest. part of the weapons balancing also lies within the auto aim, and the arcadiness of the graphics makes it more fun for me. I do hope they relise it for free with the psn+ free month since hopefully then there'll be enough players to get big matches going again, and I wouldnt put it past them 'cause they recently released it with all expansions for less then it would be alone. Any ideas on what new features might be coming along? the guy whos creating the new twisted metal game said its gunna be quite fresh so Im assuming there'll be some kind of big update other then the afore speculated motorbikes? | 2011-05-08 10:46:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Here's to hoping Starhawk keeps with the same lobby and game system as Warhawk, so then we can start daily LBPC matches! I really used to like Warhawk. The cartoon-ish feel made it different and nothing could match it. Great game. | 2011-05-08 14:32:00 Author: piggabling  Posts: 2979 |
| ...must resist urge to talk smack....ho no the urge is too strong...must hit sumit reply before I talk about skills or being noob... LOL well yes, I was xD I never really played online multiplayer much, as my brother loved to play it with me. However, Im interrested in starhawk! | 2011-05-08 14:59:00 Author: grayspence Posts: 1990 |
| If you are new to it and you joined the wrong server you can get beaten way to quickly. But that is when you try your hands at airstrikes, mines, knifes/wrenches, turrets, tanks,flamethrowers, and so on. If you were playing with a lagged out server it can be annoying because it will seem like you are not hitting anyone. Nothing worse than shooting a Warhawk twice and not harming it because the other person has horrid lag. If you got a chance to play using the APC it added a bunch. You could spawn in the location of the vehicle with one extra weapon and it had sheilds and a ram feature. As for the graphics one other reason they choose that look was the size of the maps, they are massive, Omega and the Mirror are even bigger than the others....plus there are cloud effects...so I don't think it was possible to do more. I just hope they throw in those massive battleships from the early builds of Warhawk. I think they mention ships, but it may just have been warhawk like ones they were talking about. | 2011-05-08 17:42:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| It might have been the ship (forgotted the name now) from the omega dawn map pack which can carry 4x4's and tanks they were refering to... are the ships in the original builds like the one in the tau crater map? I never got to see them you see. | 2011-05-08 18:29:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| YESSSSSSS I remember when this game was rumored several years ago, I really can't wait. | 2011-05-08 18:45:00 Author: Arkei  Posts: 1432 |
| It might have been the ship (forgotted the name now) from the omega dawn map pack which can carry 4x4's and tanks they were refering to... are the ships in the original builds like the one in the tau crater map? I never got to see them you see. Yes, that would be great to have the Dropship return, as well as another aircraft. http://images.wikia.com/warhawk/images/a/a3/Warhawk_dropship.jpg http://www.aeropause.com/archives/images/omegadawn_dropship_1280.jpg Hopefully the APC's (and their shields) also return. It was a blast speeding through the map in APC's. http://images.wikia.com/warhawk/images/f/f8/APC2.jpg http://images.wikia.com/warhawk/images/d/d6/APCShield.jpg Lastly, being set in space, I would expect to see jetpacks ship with the game, but I wouldn't quote me on that. http://thisweekingaming.files.wordpress.com/2008/08/warhawk1.jpg http://www.blogcdn.com/www.joystiq.com/media/2008/08/warhawk-jetpack-490w.jpg I'm crossing my fingers that they don't butcher this game, but I doubt they will. | 2011-05-08 19:34:00 Author: piggabling Posts: 2979 |
| They did list the APC in the rumor as one of the forsures to be included. Here are some pics of the warships that never made it to the real game. http://img216.imageshack.us/img216/2034/warhawk20060622042537379gr9.jpg http://www.nextgn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/04/15311.jpg http://gamer.blorge.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/10/warhawk.jpg The original map had some cool turrets in the distance too... http://www.cheatcc.com/imagesps3/warhawk_11a.jpg | 2011-05-08 21:23:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| wowza!!!! why in Gods name did they remove those? they look epic! and it also looks like they were in a working build of the game too..? surely that means they worked at some point? and that map looks better then some of the maps we were actually given. seeing that made me wish I had the orriginal build instead! I heard a rumor somewhere of motorbikes being added. what does everyone think of that? I guess maybe the passanger can use their ground weapons, but have no protection. I also heard about the ability to build bunkers during gameplay, not sure how that would work without griefers destroying them regardless of team though, although it does seem "fresh" cant wait till friday! EDIT: Gamersmint has also pointed out a "Sony Surprise" listed for an upcoming episode of GTTV on May 13. While the listing gives no further information, it teases at the possible reveal of a new PS3 exclusive. copied from here:http://www.videogamer.com/news/lightbox_interactive_hints_at_starhawk_annoucement .html Coincidence? tune in to find out! | 2011-05-09 18:25:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| There are actual designs of motor cycles in warhawk, they just never added them. In early builds you could see the buildings could be destroyed, and there were tanks with passanger machineguns...oh and the APC was also in the early build and they added it back later. I think they said there was issues with how much they could add or something....but it may have also been a time issue. Some of those pics may have been from the single player that they removed, but in Fallen star map you can see one of those ships crashed into the island. Here are some videos from the build... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdjsCrCsxuc&feature=player_detailpage http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=g6h7YOLRAn4 http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=12kkNBbKAGA I think there are images of the motorcycle drawings in one of the early videos or dev photos, but I don't remember where it was. | 2011-05-09 19:10:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| Thats some nice footage. Do you know why they scrapped those ideas? or was it just they were in the never released single player so didn't quite make it? Im hoping for maps like those ones and a similar amount of players as in the old trailers, coz it does look like there was alot more of em' online in those trailers. that tank looks cool too. maybe make that type a command tank or sumin'? | 2011-05-10 08:00:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |

| Transforming Hawks... Awesome! I like the base building element, it could lead to completely different tactics even if it's the same base! And the AI sounds incredible. I really enjoyed Warhawk and this sounds like a huge step up. Let me know when this LBPC match is  | 2011-05-13 10:37:00 Author: Jedi_1993  Posts: 1518 |

| starscream look alike! loving the new (third?) mode for the warhawks. hope it keeps the orriginals feel alive a bit more though, at the moment it doesn't look quite so arcady are all the maps set in space or will be seeing any returning ones from warhawk? Im so excited!! | 2011-05-13 15:43:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| I like the direction this is going, really excited for it. I have spent 200+ hours playing Warhawk making it my most played video game of all time (after LBP of course!). The visual jump makes Warhawk look like a PS2 game lol. Building entire buildings seamlessly ANYWHERE on the battlefield?! That's just insane. Transforming Warhawks into Mechs is crazy, the multiplayer for this is going to be so over-the-top it's ridiculous. The addition of single player and an actual story is just the icing on the cake. Warhawk and Starhawk, two of the many reasons to own a PS3 (it only does everything when hackers don't go and spoil all the fun ). | 2011-05-13 16:33:00 Author: OCK  Posts: 1536 |

| There's always hope I want to see the new tanks and jeeps! Edit: 0:55 in this vid. Dropping a building on an opponent! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cBv3aSpm_4I Yeah the do say you can drop in an land on other people to kill them in the spawn. I will play this level, but the funny thing is all the stuff that people heard on the warhawk forum about Starhawk that they thought were stupid jokes turn out to be true. They thought a tweet about Starhawk being a RTS was just a bad joke...but turns out it was a real leak. This game looks like a cross between redfaction and Firefly (mutated badguys in a future western). I am scared that there may not be tanks since we never saw them, and I did not see the spaceships either...all I can hope is they just haven't shown them. I am sad they just did not make Warhawk like it was in the beta, I would have loved that, but this still could be real good. | 2011-05-13 18:31:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| I am scared that there may not be tanks since we never saw them Uhhh, giant transforming mechs > tanks lol but that's just my opinion | 2011-05-13 18:54:00 Author: OCK Posts: 1536 |

| Got to say I'm hoping not all maps are going to be these bland desert moons that have been revealed so far. part of the fun was that there was nice bright colours and each map had its own climate. I read some where an interview where one creator said they had a "variation" on tanks in the game, don't remember where but if ya search starhawk on google news It should be near the top. dont like the zoom in camera on aiming with the rocket launcher either. I also found out its set in a different universe to warhawk, hence the lack of eucadia or chevronia, which I'm a bit bummed about, other then that tho, I think it looks amazing! | 2011-05-13 19:54:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Eactly! It is like applying for the perfect job, getting a call back from them, and being told they are not going to hire you for job A, but they are going to hire you for job B in another division you have never heard anything about...so you're still very happy but also sad and a bit let down. | 2011-05-13 20:53:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| I wasn't too much of a Warhawk fan. Being an online-only game with a half-hearted tutorial and no means of learning other than getting your butt handed to you in the normal game modes, I never got into it. The promise of an offline story this time gives me a little hope for this game actually being decent. I'm intrigued, but I'll need to see and read alot more before I'll consider buying this. I hope alot of Warhawks exploits and issues don't resurface in this one. The seemingly non-existant pick-ups is again, quite promising. Those invisibility things for the Warhawks were OP and gamebreaking. Not too sure on the Walker/Jet combo. I'd rather a Jet AND a Walker, than a transformer, but that's just me. Jeep looks pretty cool, but I'm hoping to see more ground units revealed later on. I suppose it wouldn't make much sense to show everything on the day of the reveal. I do hope there are some tanks, an AA vehicle and different models of aircraft. As is, it looks like you'll see the same 3 (If you count the transformer as 2 separate machines) all the time. I quite like the B&B idea. I'm curious as to whether anyone and everyone can place a building at any point, or if there's a designated player for each team who does it. I imagine if anyone can do it, there'll be idiots buying obsolete buildings in stupid locations as soon as they can afford it. Oh, well, I'm sure there'll be a kick feature. I'll keep a close eye on this. I'm really interested, but I need to know a few things before I even consider parting with cash. | 2011-05-13 22:40:00 Author: Ostler5000  Posts: 1017 |
| I actually liked the pickups, it made it easier for nubs like me to get into the game since we didn't have to experiment with any god-awful load out system, it was just see a weapon, pick it, up shoot it, store it for later. I hope they keep the pickups, otherwise there seems to be no resemblance whatsoever of warhawk. I think I actually saw some in the g4tv preview, he said that the builds were pickups, in the form of white cubes dotted round the map. I guess everyone has to find the plans to anything they want to build before they build it like in warhawk. I wonder if you still need to find health or if they've turned it into an uncharted health kinda thing (hope not!) I also saw a shot gun! | 2011-05-14 09:48:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |

The firearms pick-ups were fine, I didn't mind those too much. I mean, sure, I'm a fan of load-outs over pick-ups, but the Warhawk pick-ups were all really imbalanced. Skill never came into the aerial combat, it was just a race to get the collectables. The invisibility one always stuck in my mind as the worst one. Collect a bunch of them and just try to avoid running out, and nobody could ever kill you. Firearms pick-ups are cool, but vehicle pick-ups either need to be scrapped, or severely tweaked. | 2011-05-14 13:54:00 Author: Ostler5000 Posts: 1017 |
| Well in one piece of interview footage, I definatly saw a red pickup in the air. As to whether its just a repair pack or not I don't know but scince I've only seen one Im assuming that the "hawks" are no longer such a big role in the game and therefore have no power up weapons. or maybe they just didn't want a bunch of ugly powerups floating in the sky when they showed off the game first of all. Is it just me or are there two different size mechs in the trailer. the one they are controling seems smaller then some of the others. | 2011-05-14 14:43:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| I liked that I could have more than one power up, I hate games like Halo with no powerups for vehicles or only thow or three weapons. It is so much fun to load up and go out to take bases one after one...and when you are getting pwned by the over powered team and they are 5 warhawks hovering outside to kill you, to beable to scroll through weapons and pwn them off one by one with mines, binocs, missles...etc. It is cool they brought the bubble sheild back, but I hope for the APCs and other vehicles. I did see the power-ups in the air footage, and I also thought I saw more than one size of mech, but I am almost positive it just looked that way because of the camera angle. | 2011-05-18 20:52:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| I'm glad it'll have a 4-player split-screen online game mode. Not enough "multiplayer" games allow you to do that. I've quite often got a house full of people - well, there'll be at least 4 of us - and our choice of gaming is incredibly limited, and we're not into the local split-screen death matches because one of us always ends up domintaing the room - which just annoys everyone else in the room. Much prefer it being a 4-player split-screen co-op where we can all be on the same team and battle online. For this reason alone, I'll be getting it. | 2011-05-19 08:09:00 Author: Macnme  Posts: 1970 |
| Yeah the 4-player was the reason I got Warhawk. | 2011-05-25 05:37:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| lol at the subtle bump above me. what do you think they'll show off at e3? I'm starting to worry of the lack of varied environments now. the original leak (which apart from this unconfirmed point has been 100% true) said there were going to be 25 maps at launch. if it just 25 dust trap maps with some cliche space buildings I might not get it at launch. that would be like buying those hidden prize packets and getting 25 of the same toy out, and its the worst of all the toys anyway so you didn't really want one. It seems that the two(?) maps so far revealed have been a cross between omega factory and badlands. badlands was always my least favourite because bland deserts just don't appeal to me in anyway. heres hoping for more variaty and more vehicles!!!! | 2011-05-25 15:59:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Ohey, new multiplayer video, as well as confirmation it'll be playable at E3 http://blog.us.playstation.com/2011/06/01/starhawks-multiplayer-watch-ctf-in-the-acid-sea/ | 2011-06-01 23:10:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| Sorry for double post, but since Store is back up I am currently redownloading Warhawk. So yes, anyone wanna play with me perchance? :kz: | 2011-06-02 22:15:00 Author: RockSauron Posts: 10882 |
| BUMP forfull release. All beta players can get a free gold swirly for their hand and players of warhawk can get eucadian green andchevronian boltgun skins for their vehicles for free from the store now! the game is great fun, easily the best multiplayer on the system. it has 10 unique maps across five enviroments, and its been announced that all future map packs will be free to avoid a split in the community. feel free to ask any questions if you're yet to purchase. anyone up for an lbpc clan? | 2012-05-12 09:34:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Regarding functionality, the game is freezing a lot for me and the boost on the hawk isn't working properly. I'm also getting kicked from the servers a lot. Is anyone else experiencing these problems? | 2012-05-13 00:50:00 Author: bonner123  Posts: 1487 |
| The hawk boost is a problem I had in campain, but I try not ot go in the air during multiplayer so I can't answer for that sorry. I had the game freeze once on the first story level but not scince then. my main concern right now is with the tank and one hawk weapon being waaaaay over powered. well, that and the fact that I can only seem to find matches on dust | 2012-05-13 09:59:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
Well, it turns out that you just have to double tap R2 instead. I got too attached to the beta controls.  I guess it's my fault for not playing single player. At any rate, I am always getting kicked (disconnected) from the servers, even if I'm not doing anything. It's really really frustrating, especially since I experienced no problems like this on the beta. | 2012-05-16 02:13:00 Author: bonner123 Posts: 1487 |
| I haven't experienced any kicking, Try searching on playstation official forums, alot of good server runners are there who don't kick except for cheating. So far I've played around 3 and a half hours of online, its great fun, but I haven't hardly had a chance to use jetpacks, are they any good? Scored an awesome come back during a baserape too, Shot a hawk out the sky with a shot from the tank, sniped a pilot out of a tank, pod killed another, it was great fun! I do think something needs to be done about the baserapes though, with no pickups outside of structured buildings Its very hard to combat a full on one, your bunkers and flak cannons are often destroyed before you can use them. | 2012-05-16 08:14:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| By kick I mean I keep on getting disconnected from servers. And despite the patch, I'm still experiencing the voice chat and connection problems. It's getting really sad at this point. | 2012-06-02 21:03:00 Author: bonner123 Posts: 1487 |
| Yeah I am reading about the issues too. I hope they fix the game. If you are bored my vs level is still mostly crash free... http://youtu.be/cYnpX8MWD2c Made a bunch of level videos for a project I had to do now I really want to post them. | 2012-06-06 04:08:00 Author: celsus Posts: 822 |
| BUMP for patch 1.03. the patch includes 2 new maps on a planet named cypress. essentially they're large swamp maps with small islands dotted around them, the swamp water can be walked or driven through. huge tall trees offer a fair amount of cover vs hawks in the central areas of the map, as do a few new small buildings that exsist on the map from the moment you spawn. there are weapon pick-ups available on the map which also help against base rapes. in short these are now the two best maps in the game! they kind of remind me of tau crater from warhawk, only they're more enjoyable somehow... the update also fixes team balancing and crashing issues. patch 1.04 is coming soon-ish with 5 new extra small maps intended for troop deathmatches, as well as a collection of new modes such as hawks only 1 flag ctf. again, this patch will be free. anyone fancy a game? | 2012-08-12 11:01:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |

| I was disappointed with this tbh. Structures are pretty much pointless since a single player can destroy an entire base in a few seconds with a knife, making vehicles hard to find. I really enjoyed the vehicle combat from Warhawk, so this left me very unhappy. If a team manages to push up the the enemy's base, it's pretty much game over. Maybe it's just that I'm not that great at the game, but after enjoying Warhawk so much, I really hated this. | 2012-08-12 22:10:00 Author: SSTAGG1  Posts: 1136 |
| in 1.04 they are replacing an already nurfed bruiser (the skill which allows the knife to destroy structures) with a skill which spawns you with the grinder (flamethrower) this weapon has very little ammo so must be used sparingly. and SSTAGG1, why not give the new maps a try? they play drasticly differently from the core maps, and I'm yet to experience any baserapes on them, the layout allows for plenty of options and unless you play in a private room with un-balanced sides (teams are now auto-balanced during gameplay) then you should find that as opposed to baserapes what you get are close matches with controle and leading points count switching between teams very quickly. plus the new maps have way more rift barrels meaning you're unlikly to have any lack of rift and can re-build what enemies destroy fairly easily. all maps also now show rift barrels on the mini map and large map and as you spawn there are symbols showing you where each structure is nearby. as you build, the game will also tell you if there are any of that structure nearby and will tell you in which direction you will find it, making it easier to avoid duplicate vehicle spawns or bunkers. | 2012-08-13 12:07:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
| Hmm, that does indeed sound much better than what I had played. Perhaps I'll give it another shot later. | 2012-08-13 15:35:00 Author: SSTAGG1 Posts: 1136 |

We have something else *VERY* tasty in store for all the PS Plus Members, so keep your eyes on the blog for another announcement very soon. *tickle-tickle* But wait? there?s more ?cause I?m not *JUST* a tease! As you know, about a month ago we released the Starhawk 1.03 Update (http://blog.us.playstation.com/2012/08/10/starhawk-free-cypress-map-pack-update-1-03-today/)that had a ton of great new features including two completely new maps on the Planet of Cypress. The team and I were so stoked to see how happy the Starhawk community received it, that we?re excited to release our Starhawk 1.04 Update on 26th September with even more awesome-sauce, including three brand-new gameplay modes! http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=uO3JmcJzGv0 Ok, so those are the new hella-fun gameplay modes but there is a ton of other stuff in the Starhawk 1.04 Update as well. We?ve been following all of the community feedback and we?ve made a large number of changes. Check it out. In my last blog post I wrote this massive wall of text covering all the various new things we added. So this time, I?m going to try and be more efficient on what should matter to you most. Three new gameplay modes: Assault, Deathmatch Arena, Gatekeeper. Five new ?small? maps: Cypress Glade, Space Relay, Scourge Junction, Space Flotilla, Scourge Breaker. Updated preplaced pickups on all maps (just like we did in Cypress) as well as updated Rift Barrel placement. Three new Build & Battle loadouts: Trooper, Lightweight and Speeder. New ToolTips are displayed on various options and buttons in the Uplink, including a display of all the units in each LoadOut and recommended player counts when you create a new game. MAW Rocket Launcher now can lockon to the Sidewinder Jet Bike. Added four new national clan banners for our players in the Middle East: Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, Israel and the UAE. Quit Penalty for players that quit during a game you get a loss posted and SkillScore hit. New ?Up Next? display at the intermission screen of what map, mode and loadout is coming up in the next round. More scorelimit and timelimit options when creating a game. All three new game modes are added to QuickMatch for matchmaking. CoOp Prospector is now supported in QuickMatch for matchmaking into public CoOp games. New CoOp Prospector options for creating Private or Public games, difficulty, and game name. Public CoOp Prospector games now are supported in the serverlist. Bug fix that ensures that only Clan Leaders/Officers can edit the clan tag field. Added a PlayStation Store button to the Uplink for accessing Starhawk DLC. Increased starting RiftEnergy in Homeworlds. Slightly increased the Galloway Pistol?s headshot damage. Removed the ?Bruiser? Skill. Added a ?Grinder? Skill that allows you to start with a Grinder in your weapon inventory. Grinder windup time has been reduced. Max range for the Grinder has been increased. In the serverlist, the easy ?Cake? and medium ?Fist? game icons have been removed. You will still see the hard ?Skull? game icons. Refined difficulty tuning on all CoOp Prospector Missions (slightly easier). Increased XP payouts for all CoOp Prospector Missions. XP payouts for capturing Tier2 and Tier3 bases in the Zones gameplay mode. Integrated Starhawk specific network scan to help players resolve port issues. Added ingame scoreboard HUD for Dogfight & Arena Deathmatch gameplay modes. Blurg! Even with my super-effective condensing, the list of new stuff is still looooong ? but that?s a good thing for the Starhawk community! If you want the extended version of this list with all the juicy details, head on over to our LightBox Interactive Dev-Blog or the official website at Starhawkthegame.com (http://www.starhawkthegame.com). Oh man, still so much to talk about. Focus, Dylan. FOCUS! ?But Dylan?what about Starhawk DLC?? Don?t worry! While we have been focusing on making sure we get you guys all of the FREE content first, we certainly didn?t forget about the DLC! Boy, do we have a truck load of it ready to go LIVE for all of you on 26th September as well! However, as I've already established in this blog post, I am sometimes a tease (you can ping me on Twitter @DylanJobe (http://twitter.com/DylanJobe)). So?.I?m not going to list any of the DLC just yet. We?ll make another blog post about it very soon! Let me leave y?all with this one DLC hint. Here?s a piece of concept art showing a couple different design ideas for our new DLC Build & Battle structure. http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8449/8000893807_4ba08e6987.jpg (http://www.flickr.com/photos/playstationblog/8000893807/) I?m not going to tell you what it does but I *CAN* say it's awesome. I mean so ridiculously awesome and fun. I wonder what it could be? http://blog.eu.playstation.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif And yes, I typed ?y?all? because I've been living in Austin, Texas for three years! http://blog.eu.playstation.com/2012/09/19/starhawk-multi-version-psn-release-incoming/ | 2012-09-20 20:14:00 Author: Rabid-Coot Posts: 6728 |
| its worth noting that in the trailer they kinda reveal that the last dlc picture hint is one for a new smaller mech suit, this one looks kinda like an ape, and is more agile. this update's gonna be great! | 2012-09-21 07:50:00 Author: Smudge228 Posts: 533 |
