Warhawk was immense. I played loads on my ps3. Sign me up

Hey, guest user. Hope you're enjoying NeoGAF! Have you considered registering for an account? Come join us and add your take to the daily discourse.
Sony should bring back Warhawk for the PS4
- Thread starter Transistor
- Start date
Agreed they should NOT change it to first person (maaaaybe with a toggle but probably not) but VR doesn't HAVE to be first person. There would still be a lot to gain from going VR with a game like this. Think of it like having a third analog stick and a lot of eyefinity monitors. Your aim and your look are independent of each other. You can shoot one way and look another.
How many times have you had to back up and or aim up/behind just to grasp a battle situation? Like when you're a jeep gunner or being assaulted on ground and air? VR would allow you to see a lot more and look around more naturally. Not to mention Warhawk at 120fps and 3D audio would be intense. Or even asymmetric/social screen gameplay (no screen hopping)
Agreed. Especially If it was f2p. Not requiring ps plus would
also boost the player base too. How much effort would it really need? Here's a list I thought of:
Easy:
Ps4 party /game launching support
Multiple user sign in
Built-in all DLC
Share functions
Medium:
Allow dlc combination
Spotify
Ds4 lightbar/speaker (lock on/objective and zone capture/time warnings)
Ds4 sixaxis control
Remote play
Hard (wishlist) :
Native 1080p rendering
Upgrade textures/effects
More tutorials
More customization dlc
Allow ps4 servers
New maps?
7.1 support (did Warhawk do 7.1?) could Dolby atmos be retroactively added?
As a side note I always thought it would be interesting to have a level with an underground network that couldn't be shot at by hawks, with most or all zones being above ground. Sneaking through a tunnel to capture a far away zone, hearing explosions going off above you.

False. It was a more arcadey, accessible version of BF in the 3rd person perspective.

Would work great as a free to play title.

I've never heard such a wrong opinion
Why not? Especially if the micro transactions are just cosmetic
I bought a PS3 specifically for Warhawks. I would buy a remaster in a heartbeat.
They don't even need to change anything. 1080p / 60 fps if that is relatively easy for them to do and then keep everything else the same really. Same dedicated serves. Same custom services. All DLC included.

a free to play model could work great with the game

Because of how aiming works in Warhawk it'd be a great way to test how 3rd person games fair in VR. I'm still a big fan of how aiming works in the game, simple yet there still a large skill curve to ground combat (played this exclusively for over a year).
I've been nagging Dylan constantly for something. If not with Sony then as your own thing. It's crazy the type of games coming up through kickstarter and early access, especially passion project spiritual successors. Warhawk deserves at least this treatment.

BF wishes it had the flight and vehicular controls of Warhawk. Still can't understand the on-off throttle in BF for example

Warhawks and Wipeout...
Just remastered games would suffice if the ROI doesn't seem high enough Shu.

I think SCE should reconsider the Wipeout, Socom, and Warhawk/Starhawk lines on the basis that the PS4 platform has much more potential than the PS3 early years.
The joy of Warhawk was its purity, and its remarkably old school intentions; You had weapon pickups. Heath had to be obtained.
I love the unspoken bond of the community. I hate comms related multiplayer and the way that "vehicle being shot by pistol = wait, someone wants a lift" was perfect.
The only thing I didn't like was adding in jetpacks. Felt it broke the hard won/established front line warfare nature of the game. It was very much like Day Of Defeat:Source in that aspect.

I would rather have Resitance: Fall of man.

Graphics wouldn't even need that much of an update. I loved the clean look that Warhawk had

Agreed. I have a friend who used to say he'd just boot up a game and roam around alone to stare at the details. It was his first large mapped game where he could be left alone with decent graphics, but still. The game looked great in its own stylized way.

Played some Warhawk yesterday using the free PS Now trial (which works great). The stylized art certainly helps the graphics hold up, and gameplay felt fresh as ever.
I know this thread topic comes up often and then people get discouraged that it will never happen but hey maybe if we keep asking for it, it may happen. Considering how much larger the PS4 install base is compared to launch PS3 community in 2007 I could totally see a Remaster doing very well.
Couldn't a complete separate third party team also port or remaster this? Would Dylan be needed?
Maybe I'm just being naive though.

Dylan wouldn't be needed, but it would be nice for his team to do it since Warhawk is his baby. Otherwise, I'd love to see Bluepoint on it

Other impossible dreams:
Microsoft actually gets on board with cross-platform multiplayer
Westwood Studios is refounded
Ubisoft makes a game where the only thing you do is blow up radio towers

Warhawk PS3 was the only Multiplayer-only game I ever played for extended amounts of time. I still really wish there was a campaign, but I had so much fun I wouldn't even mind if it came back as Multi-only again. I keep hearing if I liked it, I would probably like Battlefield but I feel like they're different types of games.

God dammit I watched some gameplay and was reminded how ridiculous this game is.
Dunno how it didn't sell a billion copies.

Indeed. The other enormously fun thing was proximity mines in surprising tight corners. Not since Goldeneye have those things been so much fun.

A remastered version of this would be an instant buy for me. I would actually buy multiple copies to ensure friends who missed out the first time could enjoy. This was (and probably is) my favourite multiplayer experience and one that I keep dreaming will either re-release or get a proper sequel.
My favorite was CTF when nobody on my team seemed to have any interest in grabbing the flag so I had to make sure to cap the zone closest to the enemy home base, grab a jeep and land mines and drive into their base without being detected.
Then I park it where I'll jump down to after I grab the flag and pointing the other way. I mine the area around my jeep and save a mine or 2 for after I grab the flag to cover my escape -- hop into my jeep and speed off out of their base ...
... only to be destroyed by 4 Warhawks as soon as I drive away.
But every once in awhile the stars will align and friendly Tanks will arrive to cover my escape, friendly Warhawks will come and give me air support as I drive back feeling like a badass ...
... until I'm sniped 4 feet from capping the flag! Then a random person picks it up and scores 2 seconds later.
Ahhh, so much fun!

Heh, sometimes I'm just loading the home base/flag area with mines, wouldn't want your efforts go to waste.
Haha, I know I know. I'm a team player, I'd still be happy.

I would have so many deaths in CTF rounds. But damn if I didn't cap that flag! Spawn, fly, die, repeat

Not really in a position to hook my PS3 backup so hell yeah!
Just add a random matchmaking (or maybe it had one, I forget) since I don't want to look through a list of games and don't divide the community with dlc and we'd be set. Just porting Warhawk on PS3 is enough. (With all DLC.)
