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 ... » Read More

Warhawk - updated hands-on

PS3 Preview | Warhawk

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 ... » Read More

Warhawk - updated hands-on

PS3 Preview | Warhawk

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 ... » Read More

Warhawk hands-on

PS3 Preview | Warhawk

Wednesday 10 May 2006 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 ... » Read More

E3 06: Warhawk hands-on

PS3 Preview | Warhawk

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 ... » Read More

Warhawk

PS3 Preview | Warhawk

Sony is resurrecting a fondly remembered (if not exactly well-remembered) game from the early days of the PlayStation, and rumor has it that it'll show up as a PS3 launch title. Warhawk, developed by Twisted Metal creators Incognito, is an airborne shooter that has players flying a retro-futuristic hoverjet through detailed environments packed with moving objects. The original was amazing for its time, and the remake looks poised to repeat that success. Judging from (what looked like) gameplay ... » Read More
