EL33TONLINE: News tag archive: starhawk
Time is ticking away and the weekend is almost upon us - and not a second too soon!
With preparations for E3 2012 ongoing, loads of pre-E3 news beginning to break through and a huge haul of game releases this week, we’re all going to need a good break this weekend.
There’ll be opportunities for fun tomorrow with DBNGamers 6th Sense and games will indeed be played, but the looming presence of E3 will be keeping us busy as we continue to make plans for our coverage of the show.
What else is going on this weekend? Members of El33tonline let you know in this latest Pre-W33kend Post, but we’re keen to know what you’ll be keeping busy with, too:
It’s a question that we mull over time and time again. It’s a question that we’re sure game developers would love to know the true answer to.
More and more games feature a multiplayer component that developers hope to become the next big thing, but these games are usually played for a week or two as a novelty, and then dropped for mainstays like Call of Duty, Battlefield and Gears of War.
In this Question of the Day, we want to know what you find valuable in a multiplayer game:
What must multiplayer games do to keep you playing?
This week’s Media Create software numbers are in a similarly sorry state to the latest hardware chart. The top seller - Mario Kart 9 - only managed to shift 37 353 copies, while Fire Emblem: Awakening in second place could only muster 16 530 copies.
One of the biggest PS3 exclusives to launch in a long while - Starhawk - was released yesterday in the US and will be crash landing in European territories this Friday, May 11th. Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) has announced that gamers who pick up a copy of Starhawk will be able to download a free version of the PSone Classic Warhawk from the PlayStation Store by redeeming the included Online Pass.
Those birds can fly really high…
The undeniable highlight of this week’s worldwide videogame release list is the PlayStation 3-exclusive Starhawk, but Xbox LIVE Marketplace browsers might argue that the appearance of a recent phenomenon of a game on their service is just as important a release.
Who is right?
Look over this week’s round-up of videogame releases - just one more week before 2012’s biggest big hitters arrive, everybody, hang in there:
This week’s PlayStation Store update has a number of highlights to satisfy a diverse range of PSN users.
PS Plus subscribers can enjoy early access to the Starhawk Beta as well as 50% off twelve recent PSN titles such as Rochard and Payday: The Heist.
Lightbox Interactive president Dylan Jobe has today posted on the PlayStation Blogs to unveil a brand new gameplay video showcasing the expansive combat opportunities featured in Starhawk, a multiplayer (and singleplayer) game of epic proportions.
Watch below as an orbital space station is built up before your very eyes and various factions battle for control while engaging in astounding dogfights around hostile environments (phew!):
Lightbox Interactive’s Dylan Jobe gave us a demo of the latest build of Starhawk at gamescom a few weeks ago, and it looks like a lot of fun!
Starhawk is not just ‘Warhawk in space.’ It’s the same core experience of online, vehicle-based action, but a bunch of new elements have been added. For one thing, there is a solo campaign which Jobe assures us is ‘compelling.’ The solo campaign will be a set of singleplayer missions using the game’s battle engine, and the story takes place in the distant corners of the galaxy where miners are extracting rift energy in similar conditions to the gold rush of the Wild West. Jobe calls it a “Space Western” universe.

In the wake of the formal announcement for the long-awaited Starhawk from Sony Computer Entertainment and developer Lightbox Interactive, the pair have released a trailer and new details for the action game to give us the official scoop on this 2012 PlayStation 3 exclusive title.
Billed as a ‘fast-paced’ third-person shooter, Starhawk is set in the distant, frontier-themed future in the far reaches of space, where two factions (the human Rifters and the mutated, psychotic Outcast) are locked in battle over a precious but dangerous resource – Rift Energy.
[Update] You can find the first official trailer for Starhawk over here, with more information on the setting, abilities and backstory of the game. [End of Update]
It’s been a long time coming, but Sony Computer Entertainment has formally announced Starhawk, the successor to 2007’s PlayStation 3-exclusive multiplayer action game, Warhawk.
Currently in development at brand new development studio Lightbox Interactive (which is home to former employees of Incognito, the developer of Warhawk) for an early 2012 release, Starhawk will feature 32-player online multiplayer as well as a fully-featured singleplayer campaign.
