Starhawk gameplay footage highlights 'build and battle' features
76
You've read about it -- now see Warhawk's successor, Starhawk, in action in this developer video featuring LightBox Interactive boss Dylan Jobe. Using plenty of gameplay footage, he breaks down the new universe, "build and battle" strategy elements and, of course, transforming jets -- er, Hawks.

This is the most awesome video I've ever seen.
Or rather, the most awesome video I've ever X'd out and looked up on YouTube so I didn't have to deal with the bull**** ads.

BUMP
Joystiq has reported this but it's been pretty much confirmed that PSN is currently operational for developers and has been rolled out to select users in Japan, Europe & North America. We've been burnt by Sony alot recently so take it with a dose of skepticism. But, maybe online play will be operational this weekend.

They had my money when a mech suit turned into a jet. That's like Herzog Zwei, which is totally rad.

Point being? Who's buying games before that? We want Starhawk, not games before that had robots turning into planes, that comment was pointless considering nobody said this was the first time it has ever seen :/

Wow, take down the pitch forks and torches.
I never said he was wrong in his statement, I was just merely commenting that there were other inspirations besides that game as well. When did I ever say he was wrong, or an ass, or any combination of the two?

video footage like this (with its promise of a single-player campaign) nearly push all facets of PSN down'age out of my brain.

Looks excellent but the guy in the video is total douche bag.

@FriedConsole Yeah, because you've met him and know he's a douchebag and you're not just basing it on your perception of his appearance.
Yeah, totally.

Yeah, totally.

You, sir, have no class. There's no need for unfounded name-calling. The "guy" is Dylan Jobe and he also directed Warhawk. Unless you'd care to elaborate on your statement, an apology to Mr. Jobe is warranted.
On topic, as a fan of Warhawk, this looks quite promising and seems to expand on the good ideas from Warhawk without straying so far that it becomes unrecognizable.

@FriedConsole Is there something ironic about saying someone is a total douchebag, and coming across as a douchebag in turn? I don't know if that is or isn't irony...

How does PSN suck, the only thing that sucks about PSN is that it is down, that is all!

You must not know how to set up networks, because I have downloaded game trials (6gbs and up) in 40 minutes, I also have multiply devices on that same network.I get great speeds and epic games.
I have my preference but I don't console bash, I'm a grown man.

@MSKiller aka Sony4life No console hate! When PSN is back up, look up drew327! I own 4 xbox 360 games and dozens of PS3 games. Sometimes you just have to say it like it is!
Also, setting up your home network has nothing to do with the speeds you get from the update servers. I would think a grown man (nice profile pic) who gets epic games would know that... I'm starting to think you are Justin Mcelroy punking me, lol. Have a nice day

Yeah, It may take a little while to download a patch or something, But why does that mean the whole of PSN sucks? Alot of stuff isnt even downloaded from PSN.
Why does noone have any patience anymore? Its sad.

What I am saying about the networks is my first network (with same ISP) I had slow speeds, read around a bit, tweaked some settings, and the my speeds went up substantially.
As for my profile pic, I am a man, I like hot chicks(can't get enough of women and games).
I have had a few problems with the PSN, but not enough to claim it sucks.
When I had my 360(s) XBL was great.Software was the issue.
I wish my job was writing for a gaming blog, but sadly it isn't.

I saw Santa Monica and the original devs of WarHawk, and knew it was going to be epic.Names synonymous with quality.

OMG! Warhawk was easily my favorite multiplayer game this gen. Starhawk looks like it is going to be totally amazing and revolutionary with the build and battle feature. This just became my most anticipated game.. The wait will seem like an eternity.
