Sony is dead set on making
sure you know that its upcoming Starhawk isn't just another
third-person shooter about army-men and aliens. This new clip offers
a look at one of the game's standout distinguishing features, Build &
Battle, which lets you erect battlefield structures on the fly. “It's
not block building and it's not slow,” promises Sony: “We’re
not making Sim City.” And indeed, here's a trailer which looks very
much unlike anything Maxis has ever released.
Starhawk's bound for release
in May, with a free public beta underway right now on PSN. We tried
out Build & Battle during our most recent preview, and it was
just one of the things that impressed us about the spiritual Warhawk
sequel.
