WarHawk set for PS3 launch day
Sony spokesman seems to confirm next-gen titles spring release
A top Sony exec has confirmed that both Sony's own WarHawk and Lair from developer Factor 5 are already lined up as launch titles for PS3.
In between staggering under a nametag that reads 'co-chief operating officer, executive vice president and corporate executive officer of Sony Computer Entertainment Inc', Mr Jack Tretton was the man who let the feline flee from its fabric encasement during an online interview.
Answering a question about PS3 power and the previously seen demos, Tretton said, "WarHawk is playable and you can compare the graphics and see them live. And Lair, another one of our launch titles, has live footage that compares very favourably to that which was shown at the E3 press conference".
WarHawk is the all-action flight sim/shooter that has wowed audiences by showing hundreds of hovering foes on screen, while Lair is a somewhat mysterious dragon-based game developed by the team behind such Gamecube titles as Rogue Squadron.
