New Trademark made by Sony: StarHawk, Sounds familiar doesn't it.

April 14, 2009 in News comments 10

During GDC, Dylan Jobe, the man who worked on warhawk moved on to create his own studio. He announced that he will be working on a game for the PS3 and gave hints about it playing similar to warhawk, but in space. Sounds pretty epic, doesn't it? Well to further add on to the rumors, Sony has trademarked the name StarHawk. Heres hoping we see something about at E3.

During the recent Game Developer's Conference, Dylan Jobe branched off from Sony's internal developer, Incognito, to form an independant game studio called Lightbox Interactive. Dylan Jobe also announced they had formed a 3 game contract deal with Sony. Rumors also came from the convention that the new studio was working on a title described as 'WarHawk in space'.

    Hopefully, this will take off (see what i did there) with a lot more support and be a huge improvement on Warhawk. Don't get me wrong, I love the game, but the major problem I had was the ridiculously slow XP system...

      Ah I hated that, I playedthe game so much and I was still one of the lower ranks. Took forever to even reach half way.

    Warhawk II = StarHawk... sounds good to me... Reminds me of Warcraft and Starcraft to be honest....

    EXP was the biggest problem of Warhawk for sure...

    If they do take it into space, they will need to be careful, especially if they are using classic gameplay mechanics.

    One of the biggest problems, initially, with Warhawk, was the lack of tutorial. If you didn't know how to play the game, you were going into online multiplayer not knowing anything other than the basics. I found it a little frustrating to have to learn everything purely out of trial and error, and getting my ass handed to me for a whole week solid.

    Plus, ranking up took far too long. I played for three months solid without ever taking it out of my PS3, only ranked up twice.

    If you played 3 months straight and only ranked up twice...do I have to say it?

      I believe it's time for the "You Suck" anthem.

        Yup, sucked pretty bad. I'm pretty good now, my KDR was about 1.9 last I looked. But I stopped playing after that.

        But this three months period was after I levelled a few times. That's when the point requirements get really high.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they put a subtle reference to "Do a barrel roll".

    Or they can just be a dick and pretend they don't know what the title sounds familiar to.

    Wow . . . I don't know what to think about this one The name alone was a giveaway to be the sequel to Warhawk. I want a sequel so badly, but like others said, fix some of the issues such as how long it takes to rank up.

    But include this: Multiple PSN logins, keep online splitscreen, in-game music, plenty of maps and map-packs, the awesome flight gameplay and land gameplay mixed together . . . and try to see about adding singleplayer
