Two E3s ago, when we got our first real look at Warhawk, it was intended to be an earth-shattering launch title for the PS3. Featuring a persistent, constantly ongoing war spread across a fully explorable landscape, it was going to be Grand Theft Auto in a futuristic warzone, with players able to jump into any vehicle, take on missions and fight however they saw fit. Somewhere along the way, though, it was decided that those grandiose visions wouldn't really work. In fact, any ...
Sony's shooter thrills in live 30-player online test
Jul 18, 2007
Back in 2005, Warhawk began life as a tech demo designed to showcase the Sixaxis tilt function and PS3s ability to render hundreds of on-screen aircraft. Two years later, its an almost unrecognizable online Battlefield: Modern Combat tribute with extensive on-foot warfare, available as an online-only game from the PS Store. Warhawks development history might be baffling, but the concept couldnt be easier to grasp - a sign-on, blast-off massively multiplayer online war game, as two sides go ...

Multiplayer only, but this sky-shredding, near-future wargame is loaded with potential
Mar 7, 2007
War is hell. Dropping into the hot zone, we spawn with a knife and pistol and quickly race away on foot looking for a more powerful weapon. Lets see - rifles, grenades - wait, how about a tank? Sounds good.
We hop in and take off and immediately have a bogie coming in at 1 oclock, a lead-spitting warplane that dives down close trying to drop a truckload of mines on our head. We leap out of the tank double time, turning around to see it become a shrapnel-spewing fireworks ...

We get out of the planes and into the tanks for a little multiplayer chaos
Sep 25, 2006
When we first tried it out at E3, our reaction to Warhawk quickly went from awe to disappointment. Controlling a retro-futuristic jet fighter by tilting the controller was pretty cool, but Warhawk 's producers had promised us a free-form, go-anywhere battlefield, and instead delivered a slow-paced flight simulator.
They finally came through during the Tokyo Game Show, offering up a 10-minute, five-on-five sneak preview of Warhawk's multiplayer team deathmatches, and we couldn't resist taking ...

Once the doors of E3 were finally flung opened there was one very obvious destination - a game that not only showed off the power of PS3 but also the tilting and turning abilities of the new pad - Warhawk - and we lunged straight for it.
Within just a few minutes of playing, the game and the pad delivered more surprises than we had expected, even after we had salivated our way through Sony's pre-show conference. And the good news is this: the tilting controls work, and ...

PS3: We've spent more time with Sony's shiny war toy, and it's not what you think
May 10, 2006
Given the PS3's reported capability for rendering huge, seamless environments and throwing hundreds of objects onscreen at once, you'd think it would be the perfect system for free-roaming, Grand Theft Auto-style games. Developer Incognito agrees, and today they definitively revealed that Warhawk won't just be the futuristic flight simulator we've been seeing for months. The meat of the game will still be in flying a hoverjet, dogfighting up to 500 enemies at once and blowing up huge capital ...
