Overwatch right after Ana was added. Genji was a beast, Mcree made a killing of tanks, and Roadhog hooks you from across the map behind a pillar. Also DVA ultimate tends to kill herself and a Mercy 5 player resurect just breaks the spirit of the opposing team. Good fucking times. Then of course they had to nerf everyone to be the most unfun shit ever.

As much I would love to get that PSO or Chromehounds experience back, I KNOW that it will never be the same again. PSO would have to be f2p and with dreadful designs (coffcoffPSO2coffcoff). Chromehounds? It would end up like World of Tanks or Warthunder, a massive grind for parts/currency and having to pay for simple features like switching factions.

I played it almost daily during the PS3 era and would always return to it during that generation. As I said earlier, you think the game is a 'meh'. I am simply disagreeing with you and I was just being silly with the Battleforge and Faeria comparison (I thought it would be obvious since I repeated what you said word for word lol). You can insert Hearthstone in its place. My point was, I can just as easily dismiss something that you are interested in. And sure, the game isn't being played right now but that doesn't mean it was meh. You just missed out on it or it wasn't your type of game. Simple as.

If 100 people play a game it isn't because of me thinking it isn't good or not being "my type of game", it quite obviously demonstrates that it is nobody's type of game or that there are similar games which are just straight up better.

You tried playing the game during the year they were shutting down the servers. Not to mention the developers had released a follow-up to the game set in a sci-fi universe which had similar gameplay with RTS elements (you could quickly drop buildings/turrets etc), so some people also moved on to that (I had). I think your logic is flawed in how you judge a game. During launch and the years after, there were plenty of people playing it. You just missed out on the game when it was at its best.
I don't think you would have liked it then either because based on your comments I just think it wasn't your type of game.
Sure other games came out afterwards but I would certainly welcome the series back if Sony decided to bring it forward and I hope they do.
There are still some people who are hanging on to Warhawk:
You can spin it however you want. The game was pure fun and had a variety of different ways you could play it.

Chromehounds was so fucking good. Only mech game I ever got hooked on.

I played Starhawk, it died in a month. The singleplayer was ok, multiplayer was just people running over each other with bikes.
If Warhawk is "pure fun" why is nobody playing it? Football is pure fun which is why millions of people play it.
Also, 3 comments, really active sub reddit. The game is just dead and wasn't good, get over it.
edit: or maybe the game wasn't all that bad but it was so incredibly niche that it just couldn't sustain itself, one or the other.

Ultima Online by far. Best MMO in so many ways. A few relatively active fan run servers exist, but they can't replicate that true first run experience.
Warcraft 3 - Reforged helped up the player base, and the pro scene is as good as it's ever been. But still a far from the early 2000's when Frozen Throne first hit.
The first Black Ops and Bad Company 2 are my favorites in those franchises so seeing those back in action would be nice too.

Yes, Starhawk wasn't as popular as Warhawk. It didn't die in a month. And no. You clearly didn't invest a lot of time into Starhawk and/or Warhawk for that matter. I think YOU need to get over the fact that there are people who enjoyed Warhawk. The only thing you keep falling back on is why isn't there a community for it right now. It doesn't matter. Some games survive longer than expected after launch and when a new generation starts and others don't. It does not mean what you want it to mean.
Not your type of games. Done.
I am shocked that you are having such a hard time accepting the fact that a game can be fun and enjoyed by many people even if it does not sustain itself after a generation passes and the developers haven't introduced a sequel or a follow up - Starhawk was a good game but it wasn't what people were asking for which was Warhawk 2. I never said the game was as popular as Fortnite. I just called you out on saying that the game wasn't enjoyed by anyone based on your couple minutes of playtime during the time the servers were being shut.

You're just...I don't even know what to say, lol. Hopefully there will be sequel to the game. I am just going to repeat what I said in my edit.

Not surprised you responded with this lol. But you certainly did miss out on the game when it was popular. I never claimed it was a Fortnite btw.

I never said it was. The fact of the matter is that it never was popular to begin with, vast majority of players don't know the game because it was that niche, I only found out about it through GAF and it was sold at a small shop for a dollar so I gave it a shot, played it for a few days but it didn't keep me interested, I liked some of the aspects, it was basically budget 3rd person Battlefield but it just wasn't doing anything better than Battlefield.

I am sorry you missed out on the game and ended up spending money on it when it wasn't as popular. Better luck next time!
And I have played Battlefield. I didn't enjoy it enough to get into it. Just to give you a taste of how a game can be liked by others while you may not like it yourself.

I got my dollars worth of fun. Like I said I played it for a few days. Played about 30+ matches. A bargain! Definitely played it more than Starhawk which I payed full price for.

Still not the same as when it was popular.
During the last year, specially before the servers were pulled, you could only join smaller team death-match type of servers.

Nah, I played only the base captures with turrets and all vehicles. There were always two of those at least available. I even played the DLC maps with the large transports.
It was an ok game, a nice mix between Call of Duty and Battlefield. Although that 250+ players in one match was basically false.

Capture the flag was the best mode in my opinion and where I spent most of the time and they were usually on the full version of each map which was great.

Warhawk was such a fun PS3 game from 14 years ago. I remember using a proxy server trick to install the beta onto mine and my friends PS3 so we could play it before it launched. I bought it at launch and it came with a free Jabra Bluetooth headset!

Yeah, 100% agreed! I still have the original packaging for the game.

It’s not the best game, but I played Call of Juarez: Bound in Blood for about 2 years and it was such a blast. The bank robbing/steal horses/escape mode was amazing.

Omg Ultima online. What an experience. I wish there could be a modern game with a philosophy similar to UO's beginning.

MGO2 - I know, you can still access it on PS3 even though the servers were shut down, thanks to a MGOR. But the community is so small, I would absolutely love to have access to this game on current gen.
There are others I would love to see revived and brought back to life such as Uncharted 2/3, Bad Company 2, AC Brotherhood, ME3 (Which I’m hoping will be included with the legacy collection when it releases this year). But above all, I want MGO2.

Resistance: Fall of Man
Which I’m told was similar to TimeSplitters.
There were 2-3 other Resistance games after the original, but they all came out after the Call of Duty: MW FPS revolution and they borrowed more from that than the original gameplay.
Final Fantasy XI
This was probably just Japanese Everquest, but it felt like an organic world. It could stand to gain a lot from modern MMOs, but not the theme-park structure that they all have.
I’m not sure what the perfect balance is between the convenience of instanced dungeons with preformed groups consisting of mostly similar but balanced classes and the sense of adventure from exploring open worlds with a group you set out from town with consisting of highly varied but delicately balanced classes...but I would give a lot of my time and money to anyone who could figure it out.

Goldeneye and Mario Kart 64.
The multiplayer scene was simple: friends came over, we played Mario Kart and Goldeneye.
Of course for this to happen again I'd have to have friends or want to be around people, which I don't so multiplayer is dead to me now.

I haven't played TimeSplitters (I don't think?) but I enjoyed the Resistance series despite the change they made to the game that made it closer to COD in terms of weapon you could carry etc. They did address that in the third by returning to the series roots. My favorite gun was the Bullseye.

I enjoyed both the first, second and third but would rate the first and 3rd better overall compared to 2nd one. Also, I liked how they told the story in the first game.
