I have to say, that is one feature packed menu interface.

I went into sp with low expectations and wound up having a lot of fun with the AI dogfights. Give it a whirl.

Played a couple levels of SP last night. Good stuff. Played a round of MP and was a blast, but then it was like the servers went down and "could not connect..."

DoctorWho · (05-09-2012, 05:21 PM)

Picked it up. They had tons of "Limited Editions" at GameStop.

+1....same goes for me.

DoctorWho · (05-09-2012, 05:47 PM)

Are there dogfight exclusive matches? I loved those in Warhawk. Gave me an experience fairly close to Crimson Skies.

I love the look of this game. The vivid colors, the planet backdrops, etc. I need something with a nice sci fi vibe to balance out all the fantasy I routinely consume. This will more than fit the bill.

I'm digging the customizable costumes online, myself. The flannel shirts and Jeans look is a particularly neat and rare aesthetic for science fiction and shooters.

Cool, looking forward to checking it all out. My copy should arrive in a couple of days.

Yep, I played in one last night

I had a three-man party consisting of two local players and one online for cooperative games last night.

You can access your friends list from the game without even going to the xmb, send invites, see what mode people are playing from etc.

Initially, I had to be in a MP room to start a party, but then I realized I could launch a home world and just invite friends there first. It's a great way to gear up and organize at the start of a night of multiplayer.

Oh shit I may have to buy this game now. Gamestop, right? That's the Limited Edition and is the same price as the standard version?

What's the population online look like so far? Easy to matches going? Lag?

MoonsaultSlayer · (05-09-2012, 06:32 PM)

Rrrr I want to play but I won't have time tonight.

I remember having some fucking amazing capture the flag matches in Warhawk. The case back to your home base was always intense. I remember getting shot at left and right by hawks will driving back to the base with the flag carrier in the passenger seat.

Awesome, thanks man. Will shoot you a message tonight. Can't wait to play. Also, is it just me, or is the Co-op(Prospector) mode really fucking hard with only 2 people? My brother-in-law and I were getting steamrolled by the 3rd round, haha.

Save me a spot guys I am going to be a little late coming in the game.

The clan limit is atleast 100.

backbreaker65 · (05-09-2012, 07:58 PM)

I'm at work waiting too play again, is their a icon list of weapons and buildings that highlights strengths and weakness of each?

FrenchMovieTheme · (05-09-2012, 07:59 PM)

Is there a site that details the rules of zones? I still have no idea how to overtake a zone

Dunno about a site. To take a zone you basically have to stand right next to it to start the process. It's marked as a diamond on your map.

KalBalboa · (05-09-2012, 08:09 PM)

If players can be in more than one clan, count me in. I'm already in a small clan with my college friends, but that's basically for laughs (Team Rock 'N Roll USA).

I wonder if we'll find out first week sales next week.

Now, I'd need a opinion on that from a real techhead whom I may trust (preferable Darkx10)...is this issue fixed? Beacuse it wasn't in the latest beta version a few weeks ago...

No one?

Edit: Added quotes from the awesome guys in the review thread who gathered many of the scores to the OP.

We did, though I think we squared off in SC4 more.

Warhawk and now starhawk remind me of my life before having 2 children....ahhh nostalgia

I am really glad I went ahead and bought this game yesterday. I was a very big fan of Warhawk and to this day it's probably my most played online game this gen. However, the overall response for Starhawk, especially the beta, just didn't seem positive. Which left me unsure if I should get Starhawk or not.

Really glad I made the purchase, because the mutliplayer in Starhawk is incredible. In my opinion it still has that Warzone vibe that Warhawk pulled off so perfectly. I'm also really enjoying the RTS part of the multiplayer, however I wish the game would reward you though for smart placement and base advancements. It's just a lot of fun advancing your team and building defenses for your bases. Really love how it's up to the players to expand their bases and create vantage points during the battle. It's a lot of fun arriving to a base for an all out assault or preparing defenses for an attackers rush. Every game is so unique because of this and it's awesome seeing how various teams adapt and respond.

Altogether I'm enjoying all the additions in Starhawk and I can see it consuming many hours of my life, much like Warhawk did years ago. Hoping to join the GAF clan, so I'll be sending a PSN message when I get home. Can't wait to shoot stuff with a team, as playing with randoms can become frustrating at times.
