Heck Yes, bring this back!
I actually get that Warhawk feeling when playing SW Battlefront. The vehicles don't control near as well as Warhawk's to me though, which is a shame.

It was alright... It wasn't Warhawk though

Pretty much this.
I liked Warhawk, but let's be real. Many people latched onto it because it came out in '07, before the PS3 had COD4, Killzone, Uncharted 2, or ANY multiplayer that was truly special.
Starhawk was made to see whether people truly still cared about the Warhawk formula itself...and they clearly didn't.

It's a shame the future of Warhawk had to be dependant on a game like Starhawk. Not really the same thing.
Other than the building stuff (which was pretty neat, although quite different and mixed in reception) and the lack of hovering aircrafts, the gameplay was fundamentally the same or even improved.

Did it earlier. No reply.
I may well have latched onto it in 2007, but I continued playing regularly into 2013 - and a few times since. Well after all the other games you mentioned faded away.

Strange how it outlasted all of them then.

^So I'm guessing the two of you forgot that all those games had highly successful sequels...?
The mode where you had to gather and return the "gold things" was fun but under played, being in a jeep with all 4 tokens, with a passenger shooting at two hawks trying to roast you, while driving off road like a nutcase trying to get within range of your bases rocket launchers...SO GOOD

Not at all. Ignored it because i thought it irrelevant.

Nope, Starhawk had no stealth mode;
Starhawk removed my favourite weapon the knife; (R3 does not count)
Starhawk added the awful regenerative health;
Starhawk had no clouds;
Starhawk had no buildings you could walk in;
Starhawk had no weapons or vehicles waiting for you on the map;
Starhawk didn't have a comparable levelling system;
Etc
I could get even pickier about the Jeeps being too wide.
Starhawk was nowhere near as good as Warhawk nor are they very comparable in game play.

Those games didn't "fade away." They went on to make sequels that people actually bought and played. Same wasn't true for Warhawk, even though as mentioned earlier, Starhawk had the same formula and arguably improved it. No amount of laser-thin nitpicking changes that.
But uh, sure. "Irrelevant."

Dude I played Warhawk for a year and I never even heard of starhawk till this thread. Like wtf did they advertise?
It was a significant reveal at E3? It was previewed for like over a year? Had a beta? Several threads on GAF? Where the hell have you been?

Ironically I remember seeing an ad or two on TV, but yeah, the game wasn't really known to a lot of people.

Warhawk was a very cool game, but as Starhawk proved, the fans of the game just wanted to keep playing Warhawk instead of trying anything new. I figure that is what is keeping Sony away.
If a remaster comes out, I buy it, hop on the server, and get killed in .4 seconds to guys that have been playing the game since release. Not too excited about that TBH.

You could always tag up with someone and join them on a vehicle til you learn a few tricks.
Jeep, tank and Warhawk can hold two people. (Jeep can even hold 3)
It's like I said earlier. There are no Rambos in Warhawk. To succeed you need a team. Though there could be a little more tutorials and tips for beginners. Even small things like a scrolling tip marquee could help
I'm not certain if by "Rambos" you mean a single player. It really depends on what game mode that you choose. I was a one man clan and lived in the DM servers. On TDM and such, being a team player was essential to overall victory. However, there are some legendary Warhawk players that can sometime provide a majority of the team kills. In DM, the divide could be even more pronounced.

Man Sony could easily make money by simply releasing remastered version of Warhawk, Wipeout HD Fury, & Socom 2 as $20 PSN only games on PS4. Each of theses series have a die hard fan base that would jump on this plus a good chance to attract some new players that missed out.
Come on Sony & Bluepoint

That's exactly what I meant. And you're very right. I enjoyed dm servers too as a change of pace. Though because it was such a team oriented game it was amazing when you did manage to sneak in and capture a zone or steal the flag yourself.
Yes. Put me down for socom as well. I respect wipeout but I suck at it lol

Disappointing bump
My hopes were up for a sec there.
Sony's mistake was making games so late into the PS3's life. StarHawk should have been a PS4 launch title. PlayStation All-Stars and Sly Cooper 4, too. But no, they wanted late PS3 games and put all the pressure on little Knack. Poor guy, having to carry a launch of a PlayStation is no simple task.
Are servers still up?

I was terrible at Warhawk, but it was an awesome game. I'd play it if it comes back but they need to improve the ground combat (its the only issue I had with the game).

That game was so awesome. The only thing I was iffy about was the art style.

It's a one of a kind game so there's always gonna be people.
Would love a remaster as well since I played warhawk solo a lot since it was before my friends got PS3.

It's criminal that we don't have SOCOM and Warhawk on PS4
or any competitive multiplayer experience really. I understand they probably just let 3rd parties fill that void, but still.
