1UP reports: "It's no secret that Warhawk for PS3 ran into trouble last year. The game just wasn't working. And midway through development, the team, lead by director Dylan Jobe, had to make some important decisions -- decisions that ultimately led to radical changes in the game's focus, scope, and potentially even its delivery method. People left the project. Rumors circulated that it was cancelled. David Jaffe got annoyed and tried to defend it. And regardless of how any of this could be rationalized, at the end of the day, the game that remained was not what people were looking forward to.
Jobe's position is not an enviable one right now. As the person most responsible for taking Warhawk in its new direction and for now having to defend it, he faces an uphill battle against user expectation and a product already riddled with stigma. But while he regrets the way certain things have been handled in the past, he's absolutely still confident in his game, and that the decisions he and the team have made will prove correct in the end. A few weeks ago we sat down with him to discuss everything -- what happened to Warhawk, the tough decisions that had to be made, and most importantly, where the game is today -- and came away with a much better understanding of Warhawk's risky new direction. In what was one of the most candid interviews with a Sony director we've ever had, Jobe spoke at length about why they went multiplayer, what it could mean for Warhawk to be a downloadable game, and what it felt like when everyone was beating up on them."
With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.
I miss Dark Cloud I mean damn, Dark Cloud 2 is one of the best Action RPG game ever made. The game have: Rich Worlds, different setting, tons of contents, vareity in gameplay like never before (and even after), best buliding mechanics, crafting system like no one did and finally impressive graphics.
Most underrated game ever. It deserved the popularity and sales of Zelda and Final Fantasy. ut unfortunately, Level-5 and Sony didn't advertise it at all.
My franchises I wish would make a come back, are Battlefront by pandemic studios - galactic conquest was the best, mercenaries 1 and 2, and prototype 1 and 2...great games!
TSA writes: "For many PS3 owners and members of the TSA community, Warhawk was our first foray into the mesmerising world of online multiplayer. Now, after more than a decade of dogfights, the skies over Eucadia are clear, the game’s two warring factions having called an eternal ceasefire. To put it in less poetic terms, Sony finally pulled the plug on January 31st with the online servers no longer accessible."
I hope we do get a next-gen Warhawk, that would be awesome. Warhawk was so underrated for it's time.
I really enjoyed warhawk on ps3. Hope it isn't dead because of Starhawks average reception.
after a very long hard days work i would come home and drink a few coors light 24 ounces while playing this game on my vita through PSnow, for hours and hours. it made me happy. it is one of those experiences i will never forget.
Back in September 2018 Sony broke the news that online servers for PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale, Sounds & Shapes, Warhawk, and Twisted Metal would be going offline on October 25th. Sony has now given them an extended lease on life.
A Warhawk remaster or remake would be nice, but we know Sony isn't going to bother.
Please, for the love of all things gaming, make a Warhawk remaster. I logged on for Warhawk day last year, and promptly got destroyed by ground and air. Some hardcore players still playing today. Warhawk is my favorite MP game ever made, hands down!
Terry Gilliam's Don Quixote film...what almost was.
However, if they have a respectable amount of the game finished, this could still be great, even if it's online only.
The online looks good but they cut their fanbase in half easily.
Talk about a lack of imagination.
They will be fine with multiplayer only. The battlefield series only has online(the single player is the same thing as online only with bots) and i love them and so do lot of other people and it sells for the normal price of any other game
I wasn't even interested in this game until I heard it was multi-player only. The storyline wouldn't really have enticed me at all, but now it sounds like a great game to just kick back with a couple of friends. I'm really hoping it doesn't have the $59.99 sticked price though of most PS3 games.
