I got an e-mail this evening with a code for the Starhawk Beta. It is downloading at the moment. I put lots of hours into Warhawk a few years ago. Loved flying around the levels in the Warhawk. I haven't been following any news about Starhawk but I'm interested to see how it has come along.

Anyone else playing the Beta?

Yep, got my code today. Just tried connecting to a game there, PS3 crashed

[richymcdermott]

Played two games and hated it

I have two US codes if anyone wants it...? I lost interest after a mate of mine telling me it's awful and it plays like Section 8 in third person.

Hmm dunno guys, i didn't like it at first.. Now though.... It's getting it's claws into me...

Warhawk as in the classic PS1 game? Now that brings back some memories!

It's also out for PS3. Came with a bluetooth headset if memory serves me correctly. Is also online multiplayer only. Although, I do remember having a crappy 1 v 1 match with a buddy of mine offline :/

Ah, so it's a remake/reboot situation? I didn't even here about that. Must investigate, just because I loved the original.

Warhawk on PS3 is nothing like Warhawk on PS1. I played the hell out of Warhawk on PS1, loved it. But didnt give Warhawk on PS3 the light of day. Its like a Battlefield multiplayer game with tanks, jets and what have you. Im not even sure if it has a singleplayer campaign, and it doesnt have those awesome FMV scenes the original has!

Warhawk on PS3 is amazingly good.... haven't had much time to play starhawk, but it looked stunning and was very fun for hte hour or two i did play it.

I was in the beta a good few weeks back it is really good, one of the best online games on the PS3.

[2smiggy]

i was reading some of the reviews. nearly all praising the online multiplayer. just taking points off because of the single player mode and lack of story (single player basically a tutorial for multiplayer)

i think i may get this, i have not played the beta, but i used to play alot of COD online till MW3 came out. maybe this will fill the void.

[Grumpypants]

Playing the single player story today as the servers are still not up until tomorrow. I'm really enjoying it, so far it is a long tutorial but thats ok by me as it doesn't stop and show you a wall of text every minute like many tutorials but it still has to teach you how to fight, use vehicles, flight/space combat, build bases, collect resources.

It is a third person/tower defense/RTS game but very enjoyable once you get the hang of building.

Defo picking this up tomorrow cant wait!
