For the second time in about as many months Sony is smashing the rumor that Warhawk is going to be downloadable only.

When contacted for comment by Kotaku today, Sony reps said:

"At this time that's simply not true. We have not made any decision with regards to distribution for Warhawk, which is due out this fall."

Since PlayStation 3 was originally unveiled at E3 2005, we've been lead to believe that Sony's been leading a crusade to resurrect Warhawk on the platform. It was also shown at Tokyo Game Show last fall, though we've heard nothing about the game since.

Apparently, that's about to change; 1up's own Sam Kennedy's off to Salt Lake City to check out the game's progress, and it may be headed in a whole new direction: a multiplayer-only downloadable available via the PlayStation Network.

An interesting invitation was sent out to game blogs and websites from Sony Computer Entertainment America and Incognito Entertainment today:

"Primary Mission Objective: Complete Warhawk aircraft, vehicle, and infantry training with distinction, and receive instruction from top creative talent at critically acclaimed developer Incognito Entertainment (creators of the Twisted Metal franchise - on-camera interview opportunities to be available on site).

Secondary Mission Objective: Blow $#!% up."

Yesterday, RumorReporter.com posted an article titled "High Profile PS3 Title in Trouble." The site claimed an inside source working on a PlayStation 3 game said that development had "stalled completely." The company then brought in a new director to help salvage the project, but Sony Computer Entertainment America wants to cash out and "stop the bleeding," according to the insider. The source says that "infighting" and a "lack of clear direction" were the reasons for the game's crash, and that several employees have jumped ship and headed to other development studios.

The article went on to say that the game may be released as a download on the PlayStation Store, as there are only four complete missions and "online multi-player isn't even guaranteed." "This is pretty shocking when you consider that the game was once set to be a major release," says the article's author.

So how does Warhawk get tied into this mess? Pure speculation, apparently. Rumor Reporter never mentions the game's name, but when news of the article was thrown to the dogs at the Gaming-Age message boards, the common consensus was that the game was almost certainly the PlayStation 3 version of Warhawk. A Joystiq report says that Rumor Reporter confirmed that the game in question was Warhawk, but any mention of Warhawk as the game in trouble on Rumor Reporter has since been removed.

GameSpot went straight to the source and got the following comment from Sony: "The rumors are false. We're still in development with the same team at Incognito and we're excited to show the progress of the game to media within the next month or so. At the same time, we'll be able to confirm an updated release date, too."

One of the employees working on the title told Rumor Reporter that development on the game "stalled completely" due to "infighting and lack of clear direction" which apparently led to increasing costs, which then caused layoffs and some employees to leave the project altogether.

SCEA has employed a new director, but the game may now become a downloadable game instead of a retail title.

Sony have not made any official announcement yet regarding Warhawk, though they did shoot a brief reply back to Joystiq:

"We haven't made any official announcements regarding Warhawk since last year. At this time, we have nothing new to report regarding this title."

Stay tuned for further updates.

Sunday 24 September 2006 With Warhawk sadly delayed until next year, we zeroed in on the multiplayer sessions running at Tokyo Game Show for some hands-on time to tide us over, and came away happy with how it's progressing. The PS3 motion-sensitive pad controls were an even cushier fit than we found Lair's to be - perhaps because developer Incognito has had a little longer to get to grips with it, with Warhawk being the first game to publicly demonstrate waggle-o-matic flight at this year's ... » Read More

The unexpected return of PSone's Warhawk - now fitted out in a huge retro-future war zone where you can fly anywhere you're needed to turn the tide of the war - will be happening a little later than we'd expected, with its release now officially delayed until the summer of next year. The poster boy for PS3's motion-sensitive controller at E3, it's still turning heads (and hands) at TGS with a multiplayer showing - it's possible to land the Warhawk, jump out, and take the battle on foot or in a ... » Read More

When the PlayStation 3 goes on sale in Japan November 11, six games will definitely be available: Genji: Days of the Blade, Mah-Jong Fight Club Online, Mobile Suit Gundam: Target In Sight, Resistance: Fall of Man, Sega Golf Club featuring the Miyazato Family, and--wait for it--Ridge Racer 7. Sony also confirmed Armored Core 4 would arrive sometime in November.

In December, Sony has locked down a trio of games: F1 Championship (aka Formula One 06), Gran Turismo HD, and MotorStorm. Three more carry a general "winter 2006" release date in Japan: Need for Speed Carbon, Enchant Arm, and the railroad sim Railfan. Another pair will ship during "2006": Sonic the Hedgehog and Fatal Inertia, though the later is only "projected" to make that vague release window.

According to Sony, 2007 will see at least 12 more PS3 titles come to market across the Pacific. Virtua Fighter 5, Virtua Tennis 3, Heavenly Sword, Lair, Monster Kingdom: Unknown Realms, The Eye of Judgment, and Wangan Midnight will all arrive in the "spring," while Everybody's Golf 5 and Warhawk will land in the "summer." Other games confirmed for the year are Afrika (working title), Coded Arms: Assault, and the much-awaited Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots.

Sony listed a sextet of several high-profile titles with the most nebulous release date of all, "TBD." Those included Shirokishi, fl0w (working title), Bladestorm: The Hundred Years' War, Devil May Cry 4, and Final Fantasy XIII.

Press literature for WarHawk, Incog's PlayStation 3 action title introduced properly at E3, has specified a summer 2007 release for the title.

Following a promising trailer beforehand, WarHawk rose to prominence during this year's E3 when Sony unveiled its motion-sensing PS3 controller and demonstrated how it could be used to direct the aerial combat elements of the game.

Here's a list of 19 of 27 confirmed playable PS3 titles. The publisher for each game is listed in parentheses.
Railfan (Ongakukan)

Devil May Cry 4 (Capcom)

Fatal Inertia (Koei)

Blade Storm (Koei)

Mahjong Taikai IV (Koei)

Coded Arms Assault (Konami Digital Entertainment)

Genji (SCEJ)

Formula One World Championship (SCEJ)

Heavenly Sword (SCEJ)

Lair (SCEJ)

MotorStorm (SCEJ)

Minna no Golf 5 (aka Hot Shots Golf, SCEJ)

Ridge Racer (Bandai Namco Games)

Gundam Target in Sight (Bandai Namco Games)

Armored Core 4 (From Software)

All but the first game were previously announced. Given its publisher (and title), the first game is likely a train simulation game of some form.

The remaining 8 titles are currently a mystery, so we encourage wild speculation.

Sony will also have a theater in its booth which will show video footage of a total of 35 titles. We presume there will be some overlap with the playable titles and the video-only titles, but Sony wasn't clear about the matter.

WarHawk developer Incognito may only have "officially" known about the PS3 tilt controller for a couple of weeks before E3, but Sony Santa Monica game director Brian Upton now claims the companies had been plotting for ages.

"Actually, Incognito has secretly been working with Sony on the tilt technology for a while," he says in an interview with IGN, "but it wasn't until the last few weeks before E3 that they received a working controller."

The PS3's revolutionary motion-sensing controller might not be so revolutionary after all, according to PSM Executive Editor Randy Nelson. In our sister magazine's latest video podcast, he takes Warhawk for a motion-sensitive test flight. Except that it's the original, 10-year-old PSone Warhawk. And he's using a motion-sensitive Pelican PSone controller from 1999, which he bought on eBay for about $5. Using the controller and a GamesRadar-supplied copy of Warhawk, Nelson swoops and dives ... » Read More

You might have noticed an OPM feature that ran on 1UP this morning chatting with president of Sony Worldwide Studios Phil Harrison. He's the man responsible for overseeing all of the first-party game coming out of the company, from Warhawk to the next-generation efforts from the Shadow of the Colossus team.

Though the interview's from March's Game Developers Conference, contained within are some interesting comments about Sony's plans for PlayStation 3. When asked whether their online service will be similar to Microsoft's:

"I suppose you could think of it in a linear way: On one side, you've got Microsoft or AOL, with their "walled garden" approach. And on the other extreme, you've got Google or the open Internet, with uncontrolled, unregulated access to all. And where do we sit on that continuum? Well, it's definitely more the [Google] way than the [Microsoft] way. Having said that, we will obviously obey and be governed by ratings organizations, whether [they regulate] films or games, depending on the content, all around the world. And we need to be sensitive to the privacy protections of players. All those things that you'd expect will clearly be maintained. But, beyond that, I want innovation to be proven by experimenting with new games. You know, shelf space is infinite online. There are no restrictions. There are no practical impediments to putting anything up there. I think that's great for our players, that they can get experiences that they wouldn't get only at retail. [Online] is not going to replace retail, but it enriches the experience, it grows the market, and I think everybody wins."
