WOW!!!!

Build and Battle, just appears to be so next level and maybe just maybe bring me back to online gaming. Changing the battle field on the fly for different gameplay experiences each and everytime. I can't imagine the DLC for add on tools for build and battle. Instead of separating the online community with DL Maps, they could just sale Build and Battle tools for what 50 to 99 cent.

Transforming Ground to Air/ Air to Ground combat

SPACE COWBOYS, on a steel horse I ride. Did you see the pic at 5:45 in the youtube video. Hovercraft in the form of a horse(4 legs) and motorcycle(like ATV)

Firefly was the first thing I though about this game when the Space Western thing was shown, but the music even more so.

Dont even remind me this show, I miss it so much ;\

BTW music in this trailer this is a Star Wars + Headhunter theme hybrid ;p

And MLAA apparently. It looks crazy clean. Warhawk was very clean as well so it might just be the old AA applied here. Anyway, looks clean.

Not totally sold on the frame rate yet. All that alpha blending going on when buildings drop from the sky scares me.

Warhawk had 4x MSAA so that was the reason for that. I felt that the feed was a little too blurry to pick up on any MLAA but... And i wouldn't worry about this Dev company and framerate issues.

true, plus Santa Monica is collaborating on it
 
My first confirmed day 1 for 2012. I love the music on the website. Hopefully this game gets more mainstream popularity than Warhawk.

Nice to see them confirm space battles early. That is what most people were expecting, and it would be silly of them to overlook that aspect given the setting. Definitely another plus.



Always nice to see a main character in a "dudebro" game that is not the usual scruffy white male with brown hair, hulking slab of meat, or bald space marine. I just hope Emmett is relatable and not too angsty.

He looks like a black Nathan Drake with glowing eyes and a fucked up arm.
 
Some screen caps from the 1080p vid (resized).

Flamethrower is old gen. Behold the "Sparksthrower" (?).

Jeep (different from the one shown in one of the official pics me thinks)
Also notice different jeep model parked up ahead (upper left corner).

Different MP player model (not main character)?
Also, WTF is wrong with the elbow? Or lack thereof.

Seriously, WTH with the elbows in this game?

Goddamit, is that how mutated elbows are supposed to look like?

Fix the elbows Guerrilla!

What a shitty game: no PlayStation Move support and ugly elbows. *cancels pre-order*

:P
 
I played Warhawk, but was never REALLY into it, I think I clocked ~40 hours or so.

But this looks beyond awesome, I REALLY like build&battle. Day 1!

And I like they have a year to polish :D
 
heh it would actually be fun to play this with move, tilt it like a paper airplane, etc

I hope they make the hawks feel faster, the first one only felt properly fast when ultra-boosting, that should be normal speed imo.
 
I really really really want to play Warhawk right now. COME ON SONY!

I think we should revive whatever Warhawk community thread there was.
 
now I know why they called this game StarHawk

Starcraft+Warhawk=StarHawk

anyway, I still don't get whats up with singleplayer and how it's going to play

From a drop enemy most likely.

I don't think so later in you can a bunch of different ones in the air. Looks a lot like Warhawk's pick up locations rather than random ones.


The flight shown looks like normal flight from Warhawk I pray there is a "pro-flight" option where you can control loops an rolls at will rather than do pre-canned maneuvers.
 
For those saying it doesn't play like Warhawk, you couldn't be more wrong.

Random answers to questions posted:

Also, yes, you can attach turrets and beam weapons to the walls.

Don't make too many judgements about specifics like tanks etc, as they only showed a small slice of what will be there.

You do NOT play as Emmett in multiplayer, simply as a member of one of the factions.

Not to "whore," but we actually answer a lot of these questions in our coverage on our site and in the podcast.
 
I honestly wanted a game like this for so long I can't even tell ya. TEAM FORTRESS and Killzone were the closest to this gameplay with turrent placement and random elements but this really hit the nail on the head. Faith in gaming_Restored...

Love how the Hawk trembles while it fires those homing missiles. If the controller rumbles in sync I know I'll be throwing missiles at rocks just for pleasure.

The dev diary showed what appears to be the ingame version of the western setting from that artwork (although it's really blurry)

Ok, so not only have they made my favorite game and my most anticipated game, these guys are also Husker fans. Holy shit, I don't think it gets any better, lol :)

OMFG the game looks awesome!

All I want is to transform into a mech midair and missile-barrage my enemies!
Make it happen Lightbox!!
 
Trailer and some of that artwork reminds me of Borderlands now, which I like :)

Space battles in = insta success, good job! GAF had me doubting there for a sec
 
That looks amazing. It's too bad most of my old online gaming associates were properly intimidated by Warhawk's difficulty and ran for shelter to ManBabies IV: The Unforgiven
COD4+
.

This could get me back into online PS3 gaming again.
 
Son of a bitch. That music on the official site is fantastic. I wish the loop was a little longer though.

Also, the gameplay just looks mindblowingly amazing to me.
 
This looks so, so good. People have been wondering when someone was going to come up with a new twist on multiplayer rather than just copying CoD. I really think LightBox may be on to something with the base-building in real-time. So cool to see someone try to be inventive.

I love the behaviour of warhawks. The little hesitation and tremble you get when you take off and stuff. It's subtle, but it gives an awesome feeling.

I wonder if the buildings that fall from the sky squish anyone under them, hah.

it's weird, all the screens and video starring Emmeth should be from single player. but it really looks like multi, even the AI teammate you can call have names shown on top of their character. right now, I think single player campaign is just multiplayer match with bots and different objectives etc. I really hope not though. I want cool my cutscenes and setpieces.
