Scenes from the Acid Sea

Last month, Sony's Santa Monica Studio team took Starhawk's multiplayer mode for spin, and lucky for us someone had a camera handy to film the entire in-house event. Here now is the recently released footage from that early play session, showing how brutal capture the flag can be on the Acid Sea.

Developed in partnership withLightBox Interactive,a studio comprised of former Incognito Entertainment staffers, Starhawk is billed as spiritual successor to Incognito's 2007 aerial combattitle, Warhawk. In addition to sporting a single player campaign, the game will also ship with a hefty multiplayer component that uses a 'Build and Battle' systemwhich allows players to construct various offensive and defensiveunitsand assign them tasks on the battlefield.
