How Warhawk Makes Home Really, Really Cool

Uncharted and Resistance may have wicked cool feature sets for PlayStation Home, it's actually Warhawk's planned game portal that has Kotaku most excited. According to their sources, the Home lobby for the Incognito dogfighter will serve as a "war room" where up to eight players can meet to discuss their strategy for an upcoming match. Sure, you could do that with text or voice chat, but it sounds like the developers have gone the extra mile to make planning your battles even cooler.

Using a three-dimensional "sand table" replication of the level, Warhawk players are said to be able to lay out their strategies in a properly scaled space. They'll even be able to place little army men avatars around the map to envision their formations, something Kotaku hope players can also do with teeny tiny Warhawk planes, tanks and Jeeps.

Wow - I was already looking forward to Home, and then I find out about what Resistance, Unchartered & Warhawk are doing to intigrate with home - I'm blown away.

They have really set the benchmark and show how Home should be used not just for trophys.

I look forward to see what Killzone & GT5 do with Home.

I think Warhawk just became that more epic. If this same thing is implemented for Resistance 2 with the squad mechanics. ..omfg I'll probably never get off the damn PSN.

Customer service, it's probably a problem with the card your trying to use. Maybe you changed addresses or lost one and got a new one. If any of these things happened then it might be causing the problem.
I would check my credit card first and then call Sony directly.

Dude, your eyes are not deceiving you. Is pure greatness on PSN. The experience never gets old. Once you hit it, you can't stop it. No lags, nothing. Oh, and ever so often game updates makes the game even more fun by adding a lot of new things to it.

21 - I was thinking to myself
while reading the resistance/home thread that, "man ... insomniac are awesome, I hope other devs utilize home in such cool ways. I wonder if someone will?"

Then I read this thread ... lol

Super cool idea. Formulation of battle plans in a war room is pretty damn awesome.

24 - Awesome!
This would work well with many online games like COD4! Game devs should buy into it because people will want it. Would add to the fun factor and therefore sell more games for them. It's a win win for all. Get on it devs! Now i'm really itching to see what Home can do...

fenderputty - 667 days 9 hours ago
24.1 - That was my second thought.
I like FPS's more so then TPS. I like warhawk a lot and did get into it but, when COD4 came out, I just can't put it down. If COD4 had this type of thing in Home, I would sh1t myself with glee.

I had no idea Home was going to be like this. Incognito has been on the ball and suddenly I want Home even more now.

I hope developers follow this example.
