Warhawk downloadable via PSN tonight

by Ross Miller { Aug 27th 2007 at 2:55PM }

Sure, you can pick up Warhawk tomorrow in stores, but if you want to save on the gasoline, the title will be available for download via the PlayStation store tonight at 12:01 a.m. EST. That's a bonus for West Coast gamers, who can get the game at 9:00 p.m. PST tonight.

Going the traditional route isn't a bad option, however, as the retail version is priced $20 more but includes more video content and a Bluetooth headset.

Warhawk is a piece of crap.

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 27th 2007 3:05PM

Im with you... this kind of games sucks... no production value at all. Just kill, curse, kill and curse other players.

CGamble20 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:09PM

You mean like every FPS?

megaStryke @ Aug 27th 2007 3:10PM

Fernando, please. Not today. I'm already sick of Curmeo, so don't start up yourself.

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 27th 2007 3:16PM

Im on the same level as Curmeo???

Oh shit! =(

shawnpfiore @ Aug 27th 2007 3:32PM

because you already played? I thnl you need to fuck your broken 360 a little more. LOL

BNinjaC @ Aug 27th 2007 4:26PM

EGM review scores for Warhawk: 8.5, 7, 8.5

Sounds good to me.

sheppy @ Aug 27th 2007 6:47PM

As a guy who was in the Beta (but thanks to Bioshock, won't have the money until Thursday for this game) and has been fiending for it ever since the Beta ended, I can say you, sir, are a piece of crap. So many unanswered questions I have about the game. Things I never tried....

-Riding piggyback on a Warhawk. Sure, it can HOLD another person, but can you ride on top? If so, this drastically reduces the need for a landing zone.

-Have they lowered the minimum point scores. On team deathmatch, choosing between 4, then 500 points seems a tad unbalanced?

-Does the retail version install. I'm lazy, I like games directly on the XMB.

mccomber @ Aug 27th 2007 3:00PM

I look forward to killing you all this evening.

Maverick @ Aug 27th 2007 10:05PM

Your ego is writing checks your body can't cash.

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:01PM

How is Epic games able to put a fantastic story mode and online for a game that was in development for 2-3 years while warhawk, an online only title, with poor gameplay and graphics and nothing genre defineing has been in development for 5-6 years with a team of 150-200 sucks so much?

Vidikron @ Aug 27th 2007 3:09PM

Fantastic story mode? WTF? Have you played ANY of these games? The single player mode in games like UT are just tournament set-ups. It's just the multiplayer games with bots.

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:19PM

I was talking about GEARS OF WAR! THE BEST SELLING NEXT GEN GAME!

Vidikron @ Aug 27th 2007 3:29PM

How is the comparison the least bit valid? Yes, Gears has a great single player mode. But does Gears have 32-player multiplayer matches? That's right, it doesn't. Warhawk is more like a Battlefield game, so I'm not sure why you're trying to compare it to Gears. Please do yourself a favor an STFU.

Cellien @ Aug 27th 2007 3:04PM

It's hard to believe this is a PS3 game :( The grfx looks like Xbox 1.

Matt B @ Aug 27th 2007 3:17PM

Those pics don't do it justice, that is why most say 'Work in Progress' on the bottom. The beta looked very good and I'm sure the final game will look pretty sweet.

Strider @ Aug 27th 2007 3:06PM

yall stop hating

cc123 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:07PM

I see the fucktards are out in force today and fast with the f5 key.

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 27th 2007 3:08PM

So... you are going to pay $60 dlls for a Bluray disc that only has 800 MB on it???

Thats bullshit...

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:09PM

I couldn't agree more! I don't care if this game comes with loads of extras. It should still be under 50 bucks!

cc123 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:10PM

It is under $50 you fucking idiots!

You can download it from the PSN for $40, you can buy it at retail for $60 and it comes with a bluetooth headset.

Vidikron @ Aug 27th 2007 3:11PM

You're a retard. The $60 version comes packed with a bluetooth headset and contains additonal "video content". I'm sure the video content is just cut scenes of some sort or something else trivial, but the main difference is the headset.

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 27th 2007 3:13PM

Correction:

So... you are going to pay $40 dlls for a Bluray disc (25 Gb) that only has an 800 MB game on it and a couple of videos that I can see on the internet???

Thats bullshit...

Vidikron @ Aug 27th 2007 3:17PM

Umm... actually, you pay $40 for download, not a BR. Second, just how big do you think all those Wii game are?

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:23PM

fucking retards I was fucking commenting on the retail version. Dumbasses.

Slaziman @ Aug 27th 2007 3:19PM

I thought Blu-Ray players could read DVD's as well? Maybe Warhawk is secretly on a DVD disk >:O

mccomber @ Aug 27th 2007 3:20PM

You paid $250 for a console that only plays minigames and Nintendo franchises, what high ground do you have? Or are you that pissed off about a game that has a functional online mode?

Fernando Rocker @ Aug 27th 2007 3:28PM

I paid $250 for a console that has game with the best control of every console to date for a FPS (Metroid Prime 3)... a control scheme that every Warhawk player wish they have.

Crono @ Aug 27th 2007 3:59PM

yep, fernando is definitely on the same level as curmeo.

Can we ban both these idiots, please?

I just had a crazy thought. What is fernando IS curmeo, but with a split personality.

Somebody should write a novel about that.

sheppy @ Aug 27th 2007 6:52PM

Considering the control scheme to Metroid just would NOT work with Warhawk, I'm sure everyone is wishing they had Metroids controls in Warhawk. And while we're at it, why the hell does Lair play like a flight sim? I mean, I SHOULD be able to play that game with my beatmania controller. And I even have the dream of one day controlling Manhunt 2 with my maraca controllers for Dreamcast.

ill trooper @ Aug 27th 2007 11:46PM

You are such a boring, pathetic troll.

Please tell me as I go down through the comments I'm not going to see multiple comments from you that all act like you haven't already posted about your hate of this game...

It's dorks like you that make reading this blog unpleasant... Think about it.

Strider @ Aug 27th 2007 3:10PM

dont be silly the bluray comes with extra video and a headset

copa @ Aug 27th 2007 3:20PM

True, the headset alone takes up at least 12 Gigs of storage.

Phour ZwanZig @ Aug 27th 2007 11:03PM

Still..

Didnt Sony say that they use BluRay due to the "MORE DETAIL'd" games it has to offer for the NextGen.

The thing is, theyve been using Microsofts DVD choice to help push BluRay. And now Sony is the first to offer a Retail game in a downloadable form for a whole $20 less.. But yet remember BluRay is IMPORTANT..

Why.. Sony might as well just Nix the disc all-together, and become the NEW "Phantom"..

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:18PM

I was talking about the retail version (it should be under 50 bucks) dumbass.

Vidikron @ Aug 27th 2007 3:18PM

Fernando,

You've always been on Curmeo's level. In fact, I'd say Curmeo is on YOUR level, not the other way around.

mr nimblewick @ Aug 27th 2007 3:30PM

No, Curmeo out-trolls him, easy. Fernando at least listens to logic (even if he brushes it aside).

cc123 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:34PM

Come on mr nimblewick, Curmeo at least understands what he's reading and saying to people.

Fernando either just doesn't read the article or doesn't understand it yet he feels the need to drop some of his idiotic comments.

We need to have a poll for who the worst troll is...

Almack64 @ Aug 27th 2007 4:06PM

Yeah Fernando defintely isn't cosntantly at Curmeo level. (though on his "best" days he's certainly up there.) Also as said before he actually will listen to reason. He is your typical head strong fanboy he supports what he likes and puts in some punches against the competitors (sometimes those blows are low though) Curmeo on the other hand is simply delusional.

I say you need at least one guy like Fernando or your team (no more though).

copa @ Aug 27th 2007 3:19PM

Come on, guys, sheppy plans on playing this for YEARS TO COME:

http://tinyurl.com/ywhu8u

In a decade, they will be teaching the great videogames in universities: Zork, Ocarina of Time, and Warhawk.

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:23PM

Even that Zelda midnight princess game is better!

cc123 @ Aug 27th 2007 3:24PM

Your on a mission to shit up this thread right?

soulscreme @ Aug 27th 2007 3:29PM

To all the haters:

The graphics are not XBox 1, but not fully PS3. This is for a number of very good reasons.

1) To keep the game under 1 GB since current internet connections would take forever to download something the size of a full on PS3 game. The uber-short Heavenly Sword demo was close to a gig itself.
2) The ability to support 4 player split-screen. Drawing something to Motorstorm quality is difficult, drawing it 4 times simultaneously is insanely difficult.

Also, the price arguments are really silly. Name one XBox 360 game that was $39.99 at launch or launched with a free BT headset and I'll give you a gold star. I seriously am baffled by why Halo fans feel to need to shit on Warhawk. Is it not possible to have differen tastes, or even more so, like both games?

Sky_Shark @ Aug 27th 2007 3:35PM

The developers of Warhawk have said

"Warhawk for the PS3, is the Halo, Gears of War killer, thats what were talking about! Blow you fucking mind away gameplay.... Im not trying to raise expectations, but we have a epic storyline all the way to revolutionary online play... There is no way any other game can compete. So I want all the players to fuck halo, fuck bioshock, fuck crysis, fuck gears and fuck all the other titles, because Warhawk is coming and when it does- everyone will be blown away".

Cellien @ Aug 27th 2007 3:48PM

Actually, a game similar in production values and "multiplayer only" on the 360 that released at a similar price point was Fuzion Frenzy 2.. which kinda sucked too. I think it was $39.99 at release or something near that. When you buy the disc-ed version of Warhawk.. you are really just paying $20 for a headset. The video thing is a joke.

Autopsy15 @ Aug 27th 2007 5:24PM

Rockstars Table Tennis...Where's my gold star!

I wish I had the hard drive space to hold Warhawk...stupid 20 gig.

Phour ZwanZig @ Aug 27th 2007 11:08PM

Dude.. It aint Launch no more..

And TableTennis came out at the 39.99 pricetag

The real issue in hand is your first bullet.. Keepin the game under 1 Gig.. UMM y.. BLURAY

Watchin Sony the last few years, they already dug their hole, now they are driving the last nails..

GRANTED @ Aug 27th 2007 3:32PM

hahaha you can hate all you want. doesn't bother me. i'm happy to replace my socom logitech usb headset with the slick bluetooth one.

yeah the gfx look cartoony but its crisp and smooth and with 64 players in a game, im more concerned with quick gameplay. as for the price--yeah well i bought a ps3 so don't worry guys--i can afford 60 bucks for a slick piece of hardware + software. just glad to have a system that can USE third party headsets, and wont crap out on me while im playing all night long. and you can keep xbl--i'd rather avoid having 13 year old kids call me a ni---- every time i kill them. psn is thankfully a lot more chill.

i'll hopefully be playing with my fellow ps3 gamers after work tomorrow (assuming a store in the DC area has it by then). and (like i said in ps3fanboy), if i see one of you in warhawk, i'll be sure to tell the rest of joystiq how i f-ed you up haha.

so yeah ill be fragging nonstop while fernando shares his latest mii with his friends. oh look! this one looks like chewbacca!!

hahahahah

nsdcx @ Aug 27th 2007 4:19PM

Why would there be more 13 year olds calling people a ni----- on XBL, when they can do that for free with your sub-par PSN trash. Yeah, you have to pay for XBL, but it's worth it for a stable connection and a solid structure. And for an online only game, isn't that what you want?

And BTW, there are plenty of games nowadays that support 32-64 players online, and I could bet that the majority look better than Warhawk. So don't use 64 players as an excuse. We've already established that the 360 and PS3 are next-gen. They can handle pretty graphics and 64 players. Hell, Perfect Dark Zero had 64 (i think) players and that was a launch title with pretty nice graphics.
