WarHawk - Release Date Confirmed

Επιβεβαιώθηκε επίσημα η κυκλοφορία του Warhawk για τις 28 Αυγούστου. Θα κυκλοφορήσει τόσο σε Blu-Ray έκδοση η οποία θα κοστίζει 59.99$ όσο και μέσω του PS Store. Οι τελευταίες πληροφορίες λένε ότι θα κυκλοφορήσει σε όλο τον κόσμο από τις 28 Αυγούστου.

Warhawk Goes Gold

Hells Ya! The PSN and Blu-ray versions have gone “ ,” completely finished and will go on sale August 28th … just a few weeks away!

the retail game is more of a premium version with some expanded video content, traditional package and manual (this seems to mean a lot with some of the gamers I have spoken to), and a Jabra Bluetooth headset bundled with the game – all for $59.99!

The PlayStation Store version will be $39.99 and I’m really glad that SCEA came through with a “good value” price for this – it’s the right thing to do.

Like I said previously, those of you who’ve had a chance to play Warhawk, know how good it is, and why a game that is fun to play for 70+ hours offers more gameplay than a lot of single player games that cost a great deal more.

Μάλλον από ότι φαίνεται θα πάω και εγώ για τη retail έκδοση...

Hands On Preview από το ThreeSpeech

Spoiler!

Regular contributor Tom Eccles has been taking Warhawk through its paces for ThreeSpeech, here’s what he had to say:

For those who haven’t yet heard of, or don’t know much about Warhawk – it’s a fast, online multiplayer game – fighting team or deathmatch based battles over the gigantic maps in vehicles, on foot or using pre-built equipment (i.e. anti aircraft guns). It’s set for release via the PlayStation Store and on Blu-ray disc (which includes a Bluetooth headset) this month. We’ve got our hands on the final version, so keep reading if you want to find out more!

Warhawk started out as a full single player game – first shown off at E3 2006 to demonstrate the motion sensing abilities of the Sixaxis controller. Since then, Dylan Jobe and his team at Incognito Entertainment have decided to ditch the single player to concentrate on producing a top class online multiplayer experience, set to rival champions like the Battlefield series – and right from the start, Warhawk aims to impress.

You can choose to either host your own server, join one that somebody has already made – or join a dedicated one run by Incognito. There are vast amounts of customisable options for your game – server name, type, max players; going onto more advanced options such as team switch settings and voice communications. You can also choose your map rotation schedule – so when the game finishes, it switches to your designated map. Of course, if you can’t be bothered with all this then simply join a game already in progress.

So, onto the gameplay. In Warhawk, you have four ways of getting around. First, you stay on foot where you can pick up weapons (sniper rifles, assault rifles, rocket launchers) and take out any enemy infantry. If walking isn’t your thing, jump in a Jeep – or a tank. The Jeep can hold 3 people – driver, passenger and one manning the gun mounted on the back. This can be particularly lethal when you come across a group of soldiers on foot – however bump into a tank and it’s a different story. One direct cannon hit and it bursts into flames, another and its blown into smithereens.

Last but in no means least, the Warhawk itself. In the Warhawk you can use one of two modes – hover or fly, the functions of which are pretty self-explanatory. You can also pick up a variety of weapons which are placed in various places around the map – including different kinds of missiles, bombs, air mines, and a cruise missile which you control and steer into its target.

There are numerous game modes in Warhawk: Team and every man for himself Deathmatch Capture the Flag and Zones. Zones, the least common of the five, is similar to “King of the Hill” – basically, after your team takes a checkpoint, the longer you stay there the bigger your ‘zone’ gets. However, two opposing team’s zones can’t overlap - so if a nearby enemy’s zone is large you’ll need to reduce the size of theirs before you can expand yours. The modes aren’t really anything new – but they do comprise of the classic tried and tested gameplay that keeps gamers playing for years.

Warhawk’s graphics are a mix of stylistic realism – such as the sky, clouds, water and scenery – and cartoon style animation, like the characters running and vehicles exploding. The mix works really well – and while its no Killzone, the skies and water look astonishing and the cartoon style character animation gives it style and getting blown into pieces is quite humorous. The controls are fairly customisable – and while you can’t change buttons you can change settings like inverting up and down. The Sixaxis motion control works really well – I found it was actually better using the motion sensing control rather than the analogue sticks.

Finally, the local multiplayer aspect of the game. If your mates come round, there’s more than one way to enjoy Warhawk together. Firstly, you can have a local split screen multiplayer battle against each other. If you don’t fancy that, then you can have an online game against others – and there’s no passing the controller round every round, you can actually play 4 player split screen online. Then there’s the LAN option. If you’re lucky enough to have a few friends who own PS3’s then set up a local network and connect them all together. A great feature of the disc based version is the ability to play the game on a number of PS3s at the same time using only one disc – perfect for LAN parties.

Warhawk is extremely easy to get into and you’ll be addicted in minutes. The gameplay has the aspects that keep PC gamers playing the same game for years; the graphics are great; and for me, it will be a must buy when it comes out later this month.

Ενα πολύ θετικό review για το warhawk… μάλλον θα είναι κορυφαίο multiplayer game τελικά.

Λένε ότι τα γραφικά είναι πολύ καλά στο περιβάλλον , το "cartoon" στυλ και το animation των χαρακτήρων ταιριάζουν ωραία.
Παίζει πολύ καλά και το motion sensing ήταν άψογο, πολλά και customizable mod για multiplayer , 4x split sceen σε online mach , lan party με ένα αγορασμένο δισκάκι κλπ.

The Warhawk Servers

Spoiler!

As I mentioned in my last post, I wanted to give you guys a bit of a “peek-behind-the-curtain,” to show you our sweet Warhawk server setup.

Those of you familiar with Warhawk already know that the game features a very unique server method that we call “Integrated Game Server” or IGS for short — the industry needs more acronyms don’t you think


The Warhawk IGS method means that instead of us forcing players to be connected to the SONY “[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSJZj4wetmI"]mothership[/ame]” for any and all games, we instead let players host their own servers on their own PS3s. This is fairly unique and it enables a couple of really nice benefits.


First, since Warhawk is a global online game, our IGS method scatters game servers quite literally into player’s homes all over the planet — the US, China, Europe, Australia, and Japan! No matter where you live, what time you want to play, or what language you speak, you’ll always be able to get your game on.


Secondly, this helps with latency. If you haven’t heard, Warhawk is a fast game, a very fast game, so we wanted to ensure you had the best chance of finding servers with good ping times. We also wanted to make sure people could host *and* play on their own servers. After all, why should you have to connect to a server a gazillion hops away when you know that there are Warhawk servers running in your state or city? Possibly on your same ISP? Maybe even friends in your neighborhood or buddies in your dorm?
Hence our desire to develop an IGS system for Warhawk.


All that said, we still want to make sure that there are always an abundance of wicked-fast Ranked Dedicated servers available for players. The images that accompany this post were taken by our very talented IT team here at SCEA. And yes, what you’re looking at is an enormous server cluster for Warhawk…of rack-mounted PS3s!


During the public beta, many of you wanted *way more* Ranked-Dedicated servers to play on so you could level-up and earn awards, rank upgrades, etc….
Well…ask and ye shall receive!


In addition to players being able to host their own servers, 32-player “dedicated” servers for your clan practices or 24-player “player” servers, SONY has made a great commitment to all of our Warhawk players by staging Warhawk Server clusters similar to this one all over the world.


The system that our IT team engineered for Warhawk is truly killer and we couldn’t be happier with the setup — and hopefully players will be stoked too once the game launches. Just for the record…I am fairly confident that our IT team is not comprised of Autobots.


For those of you who participated in the beta, you may remember toward the end that some players started to “spoof” the official SONY server names — shame on you. I will find you all online and [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2lQDplkMl7E"]shank you repeatedly[/ame] or snipe you in the crotch!


So…in the beta forums you all asked for a way to identify official SONY servers from player servers…Again, your wish is granted.


When Warhawk launches, all official servers are displayed with an eye-pleasing blue color in the server list. This gives players a really quick way of picking which server they want to connect to.


Alright, this post is getting pretty damn long so [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38UYdVMtZMU"]I gotta wrap it up[/ame].


The last thing I want to mention, and those of you who participated in the beta already know this, is that we don’t force game match-making on to our players with Warhawk. When you log-in to Warhawk, you get a server list…a *global* server list (with customizable filters of course), just like many of us have come to love from years of PC gaming. *You*, the player, get to choose the server you want to play on. If you don’t see a server out there that has exactly what you want…then launch your own.


And yes, you can play on your own server too…even in 4-way split screen.


Well…hope this gives you a bit more info on Warhawk’s server system and setup. If you have any questions please post them in the comments and I’ll try to answer as many as I can.
Rock on!

Secret Warhawk Artbook Revealed









WOW... Πήρα το retail δε το συζητάμε καν....!!!!

[konstantinos]

Θα το εχει μεσα αυτο στο blu ray box ή θα βγει σε 2 εκδοσεις?Μα γιατι δεν εχει single player?γιαυτο το λογο θα το επαιρνα οχι μονο για multi.

[DarkUSS]

To Warhawk το λάτρεψα την περίοδο του beta, οπότε σίγουρα θα το αγοράσω. Ακόμα αμφιταλαντεύομαι για το αν θα αγοράσω retail έκδοση ή όχι όμως.

Αλήθεια ξέρει κανείς πόσο κάνει το headset που δίνουν μόνο του και αν υπάρχει εδώ? Αν είναι φθηνό μάλλον θα το αγοράσω ξεχωριστά και το παιχνίδι από το Store.

[WolfRathmA]

Ρε παιδια δε το εχω παιξει αλλα ακουγετε πολυ... οι εικονες δεν με πολυσιγκινουν... Non οταν το παρεις θα ερθω σπιτι να κατσουμε

[NonBorn]

Δε σε συγκινεί γιατί δε το χεις παίξει.... Αφού τότε δε μας καταδεχώσουν και ήσουν χωμένος στο 360.... ppff :banghead:.
Εγώ θα πάρω τη retail μετά από αυτό που είδα... Αν και έχω ΒΤ θα το κρατήσω για το κινητό μου και θα χρησιμοποιώ αυτό από το πακέτο αποκλειστικά στο PS3. To multi είναι φοβερό που έχει παιδιά και το καλύτερο είναι όταν παίζεις... Σε κρατάει πολύ....

@konstantinos Αυό θα το έχει η έκδοση του Blu-Ray... Από το store θα είναι απλά το παιχνίδι και θα κάνει 20$ λιγότερα...

[blizard]

Αλήθεια ξέρει κανείς πόσο κάνει το headset που δίνουν μόνο του και αν υπάρχει εδώ? Αν είναι φθηνό μάλλον θα το αγοράσω ξεχωριστά και το παιχνίδι από το Store.

Από ότι βλέπω, κάπου 30-32ευρώ πρέπει να κάνει στα πιο φτηνά καταστήματα.
http://skroutz.gr/products/list?keyphrase=Jabra+BT+125
http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...hread.id=23680

Είναι γνωστό και καλό για το ps3.
http://boardsus.playstation.com/play...read.id=898874

Οπότε αν μιλάμε για τιμές 30 και 50ευρώ στις δύο εκδόσεις, η BR έρχετε λίγο φτηνότερα για όποιον δεν έχει BT.
Εχεις και το δισκάκι, αλλά το ότι πρέπει να το βάζεις μέσα κάθε φορά το θεωρώ μειονέκτημα ... οπότε πάω μάλλον για psn που θα έρθει και νωρίτερα.



ΥΓ
lol, είχα χάσει τελείως το σημείο που μπήκατε στο beta... μπράβο σας.

[NonBorn]

Aχχχ παλιές καλές εποχές που έλιωνα τον pvinis με κάτι τρελά score... Μια φορά παίζαμε έβαλε και τον αδερφό του να παίζει και παίζανε και οι δύο εναντίον μου... Και δε μπορούσαν να με κατεβάσουν είχα καμπερωθεί καλά και τους έστελνα αδιάβαστους συνέχεια... :rofl::rofl::rofl:

[offtopic] Μακάρι να μπορούσα να το κάνω και με το home αυτό... Δεν μπορώ άλλο να το περιμένω το Home... Έχω πάθει εξάρτηση....[/offtopic]

[DarkUSS]

Xμμ...δύσκολη απόφαση. Η αλήθεια είναι ότι ένα headset το χρειάζομαι, αυτό που έχω τώρα όποτε θέλει λειτουργεί και μόνο στο Resistance. Aπό την άλλη, βγαίνουν τόσα παιχνίδια φέτος που δεν είμαι για σπατάλες!

Με αυτά τα $20 μπορώ να αγοράσω άνετα, τα expansions του ΝG Σigma και του Motorstorm.
