Well, at least I hope those mechs transform into planes. I hope the GTTV stuff tonight puts my fears to rest.

BlazingDarkness · (05-12-2011, 07:56 PM)

Warhawk looks better

Bad_Boy · (05-12-2011, 07:57 PM)

We already know it's not from the leaked footage on IGN.

Well I think it is third person, so you should be fine.

Those are fairly peculiar mech designs if they can't transform into warhawks/starhawks. I'd be hopeful of that anyway.

Remaining question is what if any 'space' will be in this. Or if it's just a thematic thing as some are suggesting.

Actual gameplay tomorrow with the press release? I can't wait to see it in action

Never really expected space battles, tbh. I just need to see some of that Wowhawk aerial goodness.

If it's between different species, let's hope each species plays very differently from the rest.

RooMHM · (05-12-2011, 07:58 PM)

Wow, I know it's no good to say bad things about tastes and all but ...
damn developpers this gen.

Gilby · (05-12-2011, 07:59 PM)

Is it just me, or are there a lot of painted-on-skulls in games lately? I can't remember any specifics though, maybe I'm just imagining it.

The PS1 original? Yeah, I agree. :P

I WANT TO SEE MOAR!

Looks a bit like Spawn in my opinion.

methane47 · (05-12-2011, 07:59 PM)

wtf?

DMPrince · (05-12-2011, 08:00 PM)

eh. not impressed. expected it to be spacey really.

Kintaro · (05-12-2011, 08:01 PM)

Why do I feel like my dreams of a great space flight shooter just died? =/

DieH@rd · (05-12-2011, 08:01 PM)

Pics look fine.

Or shall we repeat this epic gaf moment.

Yep, as mentioned Transformers/Red Faction is the vibe I am getting. Weird, because its not close to a Warhawk vibe at all.

revolverjgw · (05-12-2011, 08:02 PM)

Anybody that expected an ___-Hawk game to be a space sim is stupid

Mileena · (05-12-2011, 08:02 PM)

Looks like Halo with less color

Galvanise_ · (05-12-2011, 08:02 PM)

Would be awesome if the mechs were triple changers.

Mech form.
Starhawk form.
Jeep/Tank form.

Like Blitzwing in Transformers.

Then you could leg it on foot, transform into a jeep, drive through a tunnel and transform and take off on the other side. Epic chase sequences.

Treefingers · (05-12-2011, 08:02 PM)

Looks incredibly bland from those screens.

darkwing · (05-12-2011, 08:03 PM)

oh GAF, lets just wait for G4TV

Arnie · (05-12-2011, 08:03 PM)

From those screens I'm having a similar problem to why I wasn't enamoured with Warhawk, the art. It just doesn't look particularly good to me. Of course this doesn't matter too much if the game's fun as hell, and from what I've heard about Warhawk (never got round to buying it for one reason and another) it more than likely will be. Excited to see the GTTV footage.

Duffyside · (05-12-2011, 08:03 PM)

I hate that publishers still release screenshots. Screenshots as a way to market a game should really be a thing of the past. They should only still exist when fans take a still of some epic or hilarious moment. It's 2011, for fuck's sake. No more 5 screenshots. Instead, do 5 seconds of non-cutscene gameplay.

Enco · (05-12-2011, 08:03 PM)

Oh the memories...

And I agree with the dude above me. Less pics more video.

edit: Oh and there better be splitscreen online!

Stupid flags were hard to get on that level.

The screens weren't even suppose to release until after we saw the first gameplay footage from GTTV. So blame the people that leaked them.

zlatko · (05-12-2011, 08:05 PM)

Looks meh based off these screenshots. Need dat gameplay footage to know to get excited or not.

iceatcs · (05-12-2011, 08:05 PM)

Thanks god, still on the foot. I was worried Starhawk will be only in the space flight.

Now hoping it will be also in the space war too.

These are leaked dude!

Heh, that brings back memories...Fond ones!

Regarding the pics: I have a feeling the actual gameplay will look pretty hectic - and marvelous.

slider · (05-12-2011, 08:05 PM)

I need to see gameplay. Not what I was expecting but, still, I'm not disappointed or excited with so little to go on. Actually, that's stupid. Of course I'm excited. This is the spiritual successor to WH (or so I hope).

Exactly. All pre-release marketing should be in the form of heavily compressed and artifacted YouTube videos.

Zero-Crescent · (05-12-2011, 08:06 PM)

Looks gritty.

I think I remember reading that there's a trailer tomorrow, although I can't find the source. It was on The Sixth Axis' Twitter

TheKaeptain · (05-12-2011, 08:06 PM)

OMG IF THAT MECHA TURNS IN TO A PLANE...

Apparently the comments about ti not fulfilling expectation were warranted. I don#t know why anyone would think that. Warhawk was never just about the planes so why would this be just about spaceships?

GTTV said there's both single and multiplayer foootage

Bad_Boy · (05-12-2011, 08:07 PM)

I'm betting on customizable characters again based on that dev diary.

Yea, not what I was hoping for.

Maybe there's more to it though, I'll hold out some hope.

The first game was all about planes though. The sequel added on foot gameplay.

Arnie · (05-12-2011, 08:07 PM)

So I think it's pretty much nailed on that the mech will turn into a plane (just look at the wings) but the most important question we should be asking ourselves is, what sound will it make when it does?

Because there is no ground in the space.
