Sony's Failed Secret Leaves Gaming Industry Breathless

"When the term "Starhawk" was first trademarked by Sony in April of 2009, the media jumped on the idea of having a sequel to the multiplayer-only title, Warhawk. Here we are more than two years after this trademark was made official and Starhawk has been unveiled. While Sony certainly failed on keeping this project completely under wraps, today they shocked us all with what will be taking place within Starhawk."

While I was excited to see what Sony had to offer with Starhawk, I must admit I was not expecting what I saw today. This game is turning out to be EPIC!

LOGICWINS4743d ago

Damn Nick, didn't you have like 4 bubbles two days ago? Anyways, this game looks great. I wonder when its coming out.

Nick2120044743d ago

Something like that, but you know how the N4G campers are. If your opinion is different from theirs, they attack!

Elimin84743d ago

@Nick212004.. Well said brother...

blusoops4743d ago

Comes out EARLY 2012. Straight from the developer's mouth in a video interview!!!

tack1294743d ago

Well said Nick. Have a bubble.

NukaCola4742d ago

@Nick

Did you seriously get two WELL SAIDs and the Mods didn't let you bump up to 4 bubbles?

On TOpIc:
Starhawk is real breathtaking. The visually are stellarm the gameplay look amazing, and the new Build and Battle feature is super cool. It's not just a lame RTS element, the damn building slam down into the soil and start building up. Lots of great effects and adding a SP Mode is just For The friggin Win to me!

Dsnyder4743d ago

Yeah that is why im at one bubble. People cant accept an opinion. I should at least have two. Maybe help a guy out lol

telekineticmantis4743d ago (Edited 4743d ago )

has been rumored since atleast 2008, you can see videos on youtube with the title insinuating, it's existense.

Also I wanna see all the vehicle, in one of the artworks I can see a Hovercycle Jetmoto style, even if it's not in the E3 build try to dig for information on that and other vehicles, also any other info you can harvest.

carter204742d ago

Let me get this straight...

More warhawk
A singleplayer
RTS type stuff
More tactics

Where do I sign?

UNCyrus4743d ago

You forgot transforming mechs and much better graphics.

mrv3214743d ago

Sony can have my soul.

I saw a couple videos the game looks fantastic, I just have two fears.

1. Spawn camping
2. Can planes still shoot at tank, in the videos they just focused on air... the point of air was to destroy tanks so soldiers could use AA guns to destroy enemy air.

It created perfect balance.

Aither4743d ago

Plus a western style theme with character development. It's the 3rd person Starcraft. :)

I do really hope this game lives up to the hype cause if it does not only will Sony have another killer app on it's hands, it will have a system seller for sure.

Emmettcelticfan4743d ago

I was a bit chuffed when I found out the main character was called Emmett. I've never met another person called Emmett in real life.
Can't wait to get to try out the new game mechanic of building structures while warhawks are dropping bombs all over the place

stevenhiggster4743d ago

Have to admit, I don't think I've ever met anyone called Emmett in my life. You do have one of the most awesome namesakes though, Doc Emmett Brown, the guys a genius :-)

stevenhiggster4742d ago

@Dloc
Most folks outside of the US have no idea who Emmett Smith is though. I had to google him after you mentioned him (I'm in UK).

GarandShooter4743d ago

@ Dloc

That's the first name that came to my mind.

madjedi4743d ago (Edited 4743d ago )

Main character implies a single player story line to me, so it will probably be $59, as long as i can fly in my warhawk/starhawk and take out some space cruisers, destroyers ect i'm sold.

I still wanted battles to destroy the enemies capital ships(ala star wars battlefront 2), maybe we will see that in starhawk.

When has starhawk really been a secret, we knew it was in development for yrs, we just didn't know the details.

killajd4743d ago

This game looks amazing!!! Simply put this is what we need for shooter based games (RTS on TPS) HELL YEA... Now Im hoping destroying the building is not a shoot twice with a rocket launcher and its done for! I want to be able to Build a fort type structure and be able to defend it without it collapsing in two hits

Nitrowolf24743d ago

yeah but i am also hoping that it isn't like this.
Build building
enemies (my team) comes to destroy building
Building rebuilt in same spot right away.

i think i saw something like this happen in the GTTV preview where (i think it was single player part) they destroyed one of the forts and the player placed another one right away in the same spot.

killajd4743d ago

True I dont want to see that either

Etseix4743d ago

i think i heard on one video (dont remember wich one exactly) that enemies wont be able to do that, unless they destroy all ur team on the base , or they need to be there a lot of time, to capture the base, and then can build something.

i liked the fact that you can build on enemies and destroy them, ha, hope its balanced :D

InspectorG4743d ago

I remember seeing in one of the vids (think it was GTTV) but they were saying that the buildings cost rift energy that you collect - so you are only going to be able to build something right away if you have the amount of rift energy saved from killing the enemy. So its not like an infinite or constant stream of buildings some will take time to collect enough points for.

It adds a cool dynamic that could change the way we look at 3rd person shooters - i love RTS / Tower defence and seeing these things combined in a way with 3rd person shooter can be pretty exciting

nolifeking4743d ago

That was the wall being upgraded so it had a door.

Sony Patents To Prevent You From In-Game Harassment By Reading Your Emotions

A new patent recently published by Sony wants to gather biometric data of gamers to track whether one is being harassed using AI tools.

Profchaos13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I hope this is one of those patents that never comes to fruition.

I already dislike the fact you can pay a significant amount for a online service buy associated games and content on said service and get banned from that service over potentially a misunderstanding the bans are already handed out for flimsy reasons

I'd rather see money invested in a ban that simply removes the offensive players ability to communicate with unknown players allow them to continue party chats with friends but not with Joe blow on cod.

exputers13d ago

Agreed. Blizzard recently banned a college Overwatch 2 player who's dependent for saying "shit." Pretty harsh.

Profchaos12d ago (Edited 12d ago )

How rediculas really. You can't say a word that's allowed in most PG films and prime time TV but the game is based around killing the enemy team using guns, explosives etc.

It's just backwards.

just_looken12d ago

What your talking about is called block list

In 2006 a spaceship dropped of the playstation 3/xbox 360 i say that that generation was the last great gen with game functions/tech that has yet to comeback

Anyhow the playstation 3 if you block listed a id they could not talk to you in chatroom with either text or voice. But that was pre mind fucked 2018 when people were more human than sheep.

But hey gta 6 is coming out billion dollar budget without a single player custom character creator and without singeplayer coop off/online something saints row 1-3 had on the xbox 360.

z2g12d ago

Take my social security and bank account numbers too! Here’s a picture of my wife and our address.

phoenixwing12d ago

Cmon where's the pictures of your children. Don't hold out on them.

H912d ago

At this rate I feel Sony will eventually sell a room to play games in it where they can monitor your every breath

jambola12d ago

I genuinely get a bit worried sometimes when a friend says something that could be offensive In a party
Because I have no trouble believing some bans would happen when in a private party for saying something wrong

SegaSaturn66912d ago

I want them to censor erotic content by measuring my groin temperature so i dont get too distracted while playing black ops 2.

Popsicle12d ago

Terrible idea. Not only do I not consent to providing my biometric data, the potential for mishandling biometric data is almost a certainty. Positive stress and negative stress can produce similar changes in biometrics. Interpreting the precise emotion a person is feeling is not only invasive but could be easily misconstrued. I hope this never comes to fruition.

Sony Could Increase Your Game's Difficulty If It Sees You Complain About It

Sony has recently published a new patent that wants to dynamically handle the games' difficulty and gameplay based on the player's emotions.

jznrpg13d ago

This is something I might use. Sometimes I play some good games but they don’t have difficulty option and are a little too easy.

Profchaos13d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion13d ago (Edited 13d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola13d ago

cool idea
cool idea for horror games especially
the way it's explained here sounds like it could never be forced hopefully, so that's ok with me

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
