Starhawk Or Starcraft? Sony Exclusives 1up PC's Again, What's Next.

RTS games has been a true staple for the PC Gaming community and although Starcraft is a great game and a huge hit, Sony has crushed it easily. In this situation Sony comes with another major exclusive that has proven once again that Consoles are not only the mainstream gaming favorite amongst gaming consumers, but proof that Sony always push the envelope on Revolutionizing a gaming genre.

Merging RTS with third person action is genius and when this game is released PSN might crash due to the success of what this title will bring.

"Starcraft is a great game and a huge hit, Sony has crushed it easily."

Lol thats about the most retarded fanboish comment i have ever heard. Sony probably doesnt have a single game in their entire library that has had a life cycle that Starcraft has had.

Starcraft was released back in 1998, 13 years on its still played by millions. Starcraft is even recognised as sport in Korea(a whole country). Name a single Sony title which is even close to 13 years old and being played by anywhere close to the number of people that play Starcraft today, most newly released Sony games dont get the kind of playercount Starcraft 1 enjoys even today.

Starhawk may be a good game however it will be forgotten in a few months, Starcraft on the other hand is a legend and those just dont die.

News4Sonygamers disagrees with you.

Theonetheonly4755d ago

hiphop gaymer.

There should be a poll to ban this Pyle.

"Sony probably doesnt have a single game in their entire library that has had a life cycle that Starcraft has had."

Metal Gear Solid. Sony platforms running from 1998-2010.

In general though I agree with what your saying and it is indeed a very stupid comment to make.

@ gunnerforlife,

An even better example - 1997-2010.

Ranshak4756d ago (Edited 4756d ago )

@Jellzy, gunnerforlife

While MGS is a good franchise no one is playing MGS1 or GT1 in millions today, niether did they have a online component. SC is in a league of its own.

Blizzard games in general be it SC or WC series are immortal, other games in comparison are mere mortals they have their time in the spotlight then die. Legends however live on ;-)

Big-Boss4755d ago

my msf base contains 50 mill ppl were all playing mgs1 ???? your wrong

wallis4756d ago

I genuinely thought this article was being sarcastic. Can't believe it's actually trying to be serious. It actually seems kinda sad in light of ps3's whole PSN fiasco.

Also maybe nobody is bothering to take into account starcrafts position in Korean culture. It's a fucking national past time for crying out loud. When a match of starhawk pulls in 100,000 spectators then maybe we'll talk.

BeastlyRig4755d ago (Edited 4755d ago )

Isn't he a psn partner or something like that?

& why would anyone mention two totally different games?

This is why I never visit his site!

how can a semi rts beat a full on rts?

I'm looking forward to Starhawk and I know I'll put in more time into that game than I did with Starcraft. But....Starcraft is a huge franchise. There are very few games that can "crush" it, but Starhawk isn't one of them.

HHG seriously talks out of his ass.

frostypants4755d ago

Yeah, the only thing these games have in common is that they both have "Star" in the name. I seriously don't see the connection here.

I usually defend HHG, but not this time. I think he went off the rails a bit.

Xwow20084756d ago

Even if starhawk got RTS elements sc2 is way different game.

But i understand that starhawk is unique and bringing something new.

BetaChris4756d ago

The big question here is, will the RTS/3rd person combat mechanic work?

If done correctly, it could evoke fond memories of BattleZone, which blended ground based combat and RTS elements near flawlessly.

In any case, color me intrigued - I definitely am looking forward to learning more about this game.

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.

Profchaos28d ago (Edited 28d 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.

exputers27d ago

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

Profchaos27d ago (Edited 27d 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_looken27d 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.

z2g27d ago

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

phoenixwing27d ago

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

H927d ago

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

jambola27d 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

SegaSaturn66927d ago

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

Popsicle27d 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.

jznrpg28d 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.

Profchaos28d ago

Souls games will be like that players struggling make it harder

PassNextquestion28d ago (Edited 28d ago )

I think if used correctly it could work well

jambola28d 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.

mastershredder40d ago (Edited 40d 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.

FreeckyCake40d ago

Nobody should listen to you either with that attitude.

OtterX40d 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.

Friendlygamer40d ago

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

YourMommySpoils40d ago

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

Friendlygamer40d ago (Edited 40d 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 )

jznrpg40d 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
