Warhawk demo looking unlikely

I think I support all people when I say this:

Poor job on Sony's part. I think people would of like to tried flying with the Sixaxis as bad as it may be in Warhawk and Lair. I understand that it may lower sales but this just shows that Sony is not even commited to delivering something even close with the best online service in video games: Xbox Live.

Also I can't believe Factor 5 would just not have a demo considering that they already had a demo quality build. Yeah there game sucks, you can't even control anything on screen but the graphics are almost as good as games like Viva Pinata.

Both games could of used some sort of overhaul, but regardless the games are out and Sony should make it a standard for demos.

If only Sony cared about anyone else instead of themselves.

If you have a PS3, you don't need a Warhawk demo because you should already own Warhawk. It's one of the best online experiences I have ever had and after playing for a few days now I would pay $100 for this game.

i can understand not doing a multiplayer demo, but the game doesn't have bots? and there's no excuse for not having a lair demo, unless sony wants people to pay $60 to find out how bad it sucks (that's probably the reason)

I think they are right on this one. Many of the demos on LIVE just don't come across in single player only. People are not excited about the demo and to save space on the little HD they delete it and pretty much forget about it.

I made the right choice of buying a 720.

Bots are ok for simple games. Warhawk is not simple. If they did a demo they would have to limit that play in so many ways it would not represent the true spirit of the gameplay. Just watch the trailers FFS.

The Battlefield games have demos with servers as populated as retail servers. Sony's excuse doesn't work here.

I would definitely love to try the game, but the thing is, I won't buy it until I get a better Internet connection...Living in a rural area has its disadvantages...

I'm with Tim. If you own a PS3 you owe it to yourself to buy Warhawk for the starving system. It's not just fantastic, it's freaking fantastic! I think the motion controls work great for flying in Warhawk. The plane does whatever movement you tell it to.

Wait warhawk was a multiplayer only game?, like shadowrun?, suddenly I lost interest in Warhawk ,It would have been kick-ass with a single player story mode.

Well that simply sucks. IMO a demo in a smaller environment is better than no demo at all especially because Demos suppose to be just a small taste of the full game.

ARRRGH!

I've been trying to get this game fore the past week. Unfortunately for me, someone got my CC# and started ringing up charges. I had to cancel it and wait a week while they sent out a replacement. I got it today and started updating my info on the PS3.

Unfortunately I was unaware of their new security system. It requires you to type in all of your info EXACTLY as it appears on your statement. For me this means my name and address in ALL CAPS, making sure the apt # is on the same line as the street address, and deleting the extra spaces after words (that the virtual keyboard magically inserts). If you don't do it right you get a "Credit info not valid" error.

After a few google searches I figured out the problem, but now I was getting "Can't update you info at this time. Please try again in a few minutes."

So I do. I wait a few minutes. No go. I wait a 1/2 hour. Same thing. I wait an hour, try again, and then call Sony tech support. After bouncing around the phone support circus, I get a lady who tells me that I've locked myself out by trying too many times, and I have to wait 24 hours before it will work.

So now I'm waiting until tomorrow. But Jam Sessions and Kengo come out tomorrow, and I'm a little tired of trying to buy Warhawk.

No single player...hmmm...nothing to see here...NEXT!

So that explains why WALLY and EBs walls are lined six deep with WARHAWK-it looked like the most popular game on the planet-but really, folks- it's....it's...[cough]not...selling...well sheee-it!! [cough] lol

sheppy-

If that's the case (local splitscreen/LAN MP), then I'm picking up my copy the next time CC or BB have it on sale. it'll be nice to add a 2nd game to my PS3 collection.

Why would they drop a demo?? the game doesn't have Bots! And if I was to play against other people for the demo, why bother getting the full game??

As for Halo not having bots either, Halo has something called A STORY MODE. -way better than playing against bots don't you think?

I've never played warhawk. don't have a ps3. but can't a demo consist of only one stage/level and limited weapons. just a taste of the game? If PS3/PSN wants to catch up with XBLive/360 then they gotta offer the end user with some options. Can somebody please list me some system sellers for the PS3 (games that are out not MGS4/FF1000). A demo should be out for this game because its the only money bringer they got right now. Why the IPO?

I went to three gamestops before I found a copy, and it was the last one, they had to take the display box and repackage it. Also there is no point buying a hard copy for $20 more except to get the headset, alot of people are just digitally downloading it.


But like your post this is [cough].... is... [cough] anecdotal lol

Sky_Shark, well said my friend!! Again, not to beat the horse dead but this is why WE pay for LIVE and the old saying "You get what you pay for". Yes, I'm glad that Sony offers a FREE service but it is so lacking in the quality department it's a sad site!! The reason there were no demo's for LAIR and War Hawk is because Sony realized how bad they really are!!

A "demo" of this game would just not do the game justice. And for saying the shelves are "lined up with copies" at Wal-Mart or wherever, well I downloaded mine, as I'm sure many have as well.

Also badmouth Lair all you want. But dissing Warhawk for it's "motion sensor" controller means you haven't played it. Because you can turn it off.

And anyone who is badmouthing Warhawk just because it's on PS3 (OMGZ!!!!!!!), again, means you haven't played it and are obviously very ignorant to the fact that Warhawk is pretty awesome.

This game and Halo 3 are quite simply going to last me far past 2007.

Just since there seems to be some confusion. There is definitely 4 player split screen. Those four players can play a local game on the local PS3 (which other PS3s on the LAN could join), or go online to play on an online server.

I played it with 4 friends over labor day, it was a hell of a lot of fun just the four of us on our own local server, maybe next time we'll go play as a team online and see what kind of damage we can do. You can even play on opposite teams if the server hasn't been set up to prevent it.

Awesome game. I'm still getting used to the ground FPS stuff with the dual analogs, but the aircraft control is fantastic. You can toggle between the left analog stick and motion control for pitch and turning, the right stick does loops and barrel rolls, and there's a toggle between "pro mode" and standard, where standard keeps your point of view level with the horizon and always makes sure your plane ends up right side up, and pro mode lets you fly around sideways, upside down, whatever, and keeps your point of view level with the plane.

It's fantastic. Get it. You won't be sorry.

SimStim and Nate-

Thanks for the info...dunno why I didn't pick up on all that info on Joystiq!?! before, but am DEFINITELY picking up a copy this week.
