Starhawk is 'like Gears of War without the cover system'

GamesRadar: Starhawk is coming. Warhawk's successor has emerged in shakycam footage, screenshots and a press release. But you want more than that, don't you? Well, we have hands-on information from someone who's actually played the game. He describes it as being highly reminiscent of Halo as you and your colleagues leap out of vehicles and settle into combat, but 'like Gears of War without the cover system' when you're fighting on the ground. This is going to be good...

"Starhawk is 'like Gears of War without the cover system"

that sounds really terrible already

qface644744d ago

i agree gears of war without the cover system actually is really terrible (dull)

qface644744d ago

that has nothing to do with what i said but ok??

SoapShoes4744d ago

Troll Police is right... This is nothing like Halo or Gears and honestly it looks better. If anything this is more like a sci-fi battlefield but even that isn't an accurate statement.

Building bases, walls, etc on the fly looks very awesome.

iamnsuperman4744d ago

Comparing to Gears???? really????. It offer more than Gears in one way and Gears offers more in other ways. They are just both alien third person shooters. I am defiantly looking forward to this game

guitarded774744d ago

I think it's more like Warhawk with a campaign.

joydestroy4744d ago (Edited 4744d ago )

yah i'm not sure how people are figuring it looks like Gears...

the first thing i thought was like everyone else, Red Faction/C&C/Mech/Transform ers + Warhawk

Greywulf4744d ago

Starhawk has Gears & Halo trumped as far as unique gameplay here. More like red faction if anything...?

Gears didn't invent third person, nor the cover system.

Halo didn't invent the First Person view.

GamesRadar is up to their usual shit

rob60214744d ago (Edited 4744d ago )

This topic title is like saying: "Starhawk is just trying to be a Gears of War ripoff, but since Gears of War is the greatest game on the market - maybe it'll turn out good" The guy throws in Halo references too, it's quite obvious what he thinks is defacto the best multiplayer. This game looks a lot like a PS3 game called WARHAWK, which didn't really resemble gears or Halo that much - I don't think the author ever even played it.

Foliage4744d ago

I missed out on Warhawk, so Starhawk is pretty tempting.

And Gears 1 was my favourite 360 exclusive (if you don't count Mass Effect 2).

MaxXAttaxX4743d ago (Edited 4743d ago )

*Fixed

I have a feeling the title was taken completely out of context.

You can't do any of that in Gears. And the gameplay is much more unique.
The author apparently has never played other games aside from Gears.

"but 'like Gears of War without the cover system' when you're fighting on the ground"

ceed9114744d ago

Does that mean more running around with shotguns disregarding all other weapons.

Believe it or not if it isnt gorey enough I dont think people will be thrilled.

-Mezzo-4744d ago

Ahh Pathetic GamesRadar, it's amazing how they can't say anything Bad about their experience with the Game, So what they do is Label it as a Wanna be "Halo & Gears".

MidnytRain4744d ago

Stop making stuff up, no one said that.

rob60214744d ago

He didn't make that up, I got the same impression from the article. The article compares the game to Gears and Halo - as if Halo and Gears are the best multiplayer games out there. It's like he's saying this game might be pretty good - but let's remember 360 has the best multiplayer games. If the journalist wanted to be impartial he would have compared it to the original WarHawk on PS3.

MARKUS_MAX1MUS4743d ago

Key word there rob "impression"

Its your own fault if you form your own idealistic opinion of what is being said.

Like it or not Gears & Halo are popular games and other games will be compared to them.

iHEARTboobs4744d ago

Looks like no one read the article.

princejb1344744d ago

warhawk was a excellent game and i have no doubt this game will be excellent also

Joni-Ice4744d ago

I think people need to play more games and not the same two or three games. There is more to life than Gears, COD, and Halo. They did NOT invent 1st or 3rd person.

soundslike4744d ago

could flip it around the other way too.

If people have only played warhawk/ucharted/resistance they are obviously going to think in those terms.

I can see where they might have got a halo impression with the buggy's and honestly, thats not a bad thing at all. Thats just how they see it. Halo may put a lot of people off, but they do have very good vehicle physics so I think it was purely a compliment rather than flamebait.

Joni-Ice4744d ago

I have over 250 games. I dont see how this looks like Gears.

Venom2154744d ago

you have got to be kidding me starhawk its like gears then gaylo(halo)is like call of duty.you fuckin inbasol....

metsgaming4744d ago

that sounds like the worst description i have ever heard in the history of games lol. These people are always saying all 3rd person shooters are like gears, news flash third person shooters existed way before gears and so did cover.

Speakindatruth4743d ago (Edited 4743d ago )

Nice way to use the number one spot. Get a lot of disagrees by trolling.
If you like trolling you're perfect for 4chan, or a gaming site where you think negative attention actually counts as positive.

Uzesgelen_Goo4743d ago

gears are like warhawk with cover system & without vehicals
hows this sounds?

Not a single Reistance? Fuck this article.

mastershredder25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Starhawk over Warhawk?...... Dude, NO ONE should listen to you.

Odd choices for "best" more like you settled as these being the "best" that available to you at the time, cause a lot of these blow or were average to poor performers that ended up in bargain bin.

Missing too many great sci-fi titles here. The Void, The Resistance Series, Killzone 2 and 3, Enslaved, man.. there were so many, this is redicu-list.

FreeckyCake25d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX25d ago

I agree that Starhawk shouldn't be above Warhawk, however I must say that Starhawk multiplayer was incredible for its time! Many people wrote it off bc the single player was quite terrible, bc it was basically 1 huge tutorial for the multiplayer. But I can tell you never spent any significant amount of time in MP. It was doing incredibly tense base building w air, foot and land vehicle (and mech!) combat long before Fortnite was ever a thing.

I bet it would have been much better received if it had just ditched the story mode all together. So many people like yourself completely wrote it off based on reviews by reviewers that let the criticism of single player weigh heavily on their scores. I bet you didn't even play it.

Friendlygamer25d ago

The riddick games are some of the best stealth titles ever, highly underrated

YourMommySpoils25d ago

What games? All recall plating was Escape from Butcher Bay.

Friendlygamer25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

There's also the less acclaimed 'assault on dark Athena'

( also, not saying this to you specifically but there's both resistance and killzone games on the list, it's amazing how even something so simple and innocent as a game list can be turned into misinformed vitriol here lol )

jznrpg25d ago

Glad to see Resonance of Fate. Enslaved was pretty good too. I’m sure there are others nobody has listed but I’m too tired to try and think of anything

Roundtable: Dead Game Franchises We Miss

With every big game now belonging to a big intellectual property, there are those that have become redundant. Here are the series' we miss.

RPGer1102d ago

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.

titans99991102d ago

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!
