omg awesome

thanks

vicentecarro  |  August 9th, 2007 at 2:30 am

Will Warhawk have spanish translations?

Sidewinder  |  August 9th, 2007 at 2:34 am

Congrats!

That’s the way to go, ever since I heard that PSN would not need any monthly fee to allow online gaming I knew Sony had real chances to beat XboxLive.

I have a 360 but I haven’t a gold membership. So every online game I’m interested in I’ll buy for PS3. I’m certainly not going to shell out $ for playing online when I can do so for free!

Community and clan servers are such a delight for PC Games like Battlefield 2. There’s always a fast server with lots of gamers online. And online gaming will not halt if EA decides it to, like it’s happening on the 360 right now!!

Just imagine the possibilities for UT3 and BF3 on PS3! Multiple communities builiding free mods, maps and whatnot which can be played on dedicated servers, I really hope it will be possible to make and use mods on PS3. This is crucial to beat the hell out of XboxLive.

Hello!

I have a question. Will the Warhawk Servers be worldwide, like the public beta??

So can Europeans play against US guys?

TTP  |  August 9th, 2007 at 2:55 am

YES

Conch_Bubby  |  August 9th, 2007 at 5:52 am

Impressive! Is the bluetooth headset of comparable quality, say like the motorola headset?

evoloneGSK  |  August 9th, 2007 at 5:55 am

Everything looks and sounds pretty good, Im just hopeing that it works as good as you say that it does.

HolyRoman  |  August 9th, 2007 at 6:22 am

massivly impressed here, fantastic job, hope more games will follow in the footsteps of warhawk, and hopefully so will WARHAWK 2 ;- )

Kaze88  |  August 9th, 2007 at 6:23 am

Usually latency and lags kills the experience of good net multiplayer games, i hope that IGS method delivers its promises of low latency and lag.
Thx for the info and the photos, very impressive. Were all looking for to Warhawk =)

DJmizuhara  |  August 9th, 2007 at 6:33 am

I live in Japan…when is Warhawk available here in Japan? I serious hope I don’t have to wait months for the release.

crazyeighty8  |  August 9th, 2007 at 7:49 am

Imagine having an all xbot360 set-up like that. That room would be hotter than the sun right now.

SeanScythe  |  August 9th, 2007 at 8:19 am

Will we have the option to make the radar transparent in any way because that was a problem I had with the Beta and I never had a reply about it from you.

The Bad thing about the Radar was when you played splitscreen with more then 2 players it takes up to much of the screen.

Also what about custom soundtracks? We asked about this all the time but again never got a reply.

Since Sony said the tech is there and just needs the devs to add it to the games why wasn’t this done to make gameplay even better?

Davitr0n  |  August 9th, 2007 at 8:42 am

Sounds like you guys are going all out to make this game a great online experience.

deadxbabiesxinc  |  August 9th, 2007 at 8:51 am

I’m definitly gonna get Warhawk assuming its not delayed. I was in the Beta and was quite happy with the overall gameplay.

Speaking of delays…why sooo many delays now? Lair, Heavenly Sword, Stranglehold…your biggest games seem to be getting the shaft right now…not making the games seem so big when they keep getting pushed back. Can we get some reasoning behind the delays atleast?

Nephlabobo  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:13 am

This still doesn’t explain why you won’t sell WH without the headset.

eclipsed4utoo  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:21 am

it’s being sold without a headset…..for $40.

Loucifer  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:21 am

@deadxbabiesxinc

DELAYSTATION 3….need i say more??

Sony doesnt give a rats ass how long a game gets delayed for…they dont care that they have demos of all the HYPED games like Ratchet&Clank and Lair i would include Heavenly Sword but at least they gave us that…and yet we wont see them on the PSN

Oh we get the response like “consider the demo box checked”…oh really???…then where the hell are they????

Sony wants to passify us with gay trailers like they’ve been doing since day one…we all bought a $600 trailer player!!!!

and im not asking for anything that Sony doesnt already have…by SONY’s own admission people have been playing these demos from E3 to X Games…

SONY keeps looking to the future but in the process they’ve forgotten the once that already have the system in the here and now!!!!

IT SO SAD

ps3photographer  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:22 am

Okay peeps, I have 6 PS3’s that we are using for folding full time, should I use 3 or 4 for this ? Someone contact me and let me know how to proceed

northyuk  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:24 am

does this mean we wil be getting charged in the soon near future because i cant see them lasting so long for free.

but on an other not that would be another great reason to pay if you put the time and effort into other dedicated servers for others games COD4 hint hint.

Loucifer  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:26 am

If PS3 users were going to be neglected this bad…like i said in previous posts…then the PS3 should never have been released when it was…

yes we would have been waiting for the system…but at the very least when it finally got released it would have had the best firmware with EVERYTHING Sony says it was supposed to do that it doesnt do now

It would have had a hell of alot more games to launch with…IT COULD HAVE BEEN LAUNCHED WITH HEAVENLY SWORD…OR EVEN LAIR

And 99% of loyal sony users would have been happy with everything the ps3 can do…but instead its nothing but half assed firmware updates, delayed games, gay trailers and no demos

THANK YOU SONY for making me soooo F’en happy

darktorns  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:35 am

nice ps3 servers, hopefully by launch, everything would go smooth! bcuz im buying it first day!

sectionz  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:36 am

you know to the laymen that looks expensive but as an IT professional, I can see why the PSN is free vs. XBox live … now keep in mind that I am speculating .. but since the ps3 is basically a server class machine (built to last), the cost of 60 PS3s is just a fraction of what it would cost to put in 60 regular servers with the equivalent power of a ps3. Not to mention that they are either running linux (free) or some custom game server (technically free) vs windows server (u KNOW they HAVE to use windows) .. also the cost of maintenance has to be much lower as well + the PS3 will consume less power than a standard rack mount server (and quieter).

But best of all .. if you love the ps3 the way i do .. just imagine that room filled with xbox 360s … oh wait .. you cant do that .. and would you want to? it would be a MASSIVE meltdown in a matter of hours that no IT guy could go in to fix because the noise would render him immobile.

VozrotH  |  August 9th, 2007 at 9:47 am

Wow Loucifer thats funny but true . I agree with 100%. Nice severs now we know how they sold more PS3 last month lol ;-). Anyway looking foward to Warhawk the beta was fun.

deadxbabiesxinc  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:00 am

@ Loucifer

you know what your right, I was all happy I got the PS3 on launch day the only good thing that came from that decision so far is that I get to have a PS3 with that emotion chip thingy…I guess if you can call that a special thing…otherwise bupkiss!

I’m still happy I got a PS3 and I support it,excited with the new games and all. But wow…if we get the same stuff that the Europeans got in their PSN store…I’m gonna be back to being disappointed.

Atleast GRAW and Warhawk are coming out this month…RIGHT? Well I guess with sony…i’ll wait a month after the supposed release dates so I don’t have to get excited for no reason.

joel  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:10 am

Come on, the emotion engine doesnt matter so much, firmware already uses 85% of the games the emotion engine uses.

I need a confirmation from sony, are you guys making rockstar a secound party company or not?

Davitr0n  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:23 am

@ Loucifer

Besides the constant ranting, it is hard to take what you post seriously when you say things like, “gay trailers”, regardless if what you post is true.

Loucifer  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:25 am

@VozrotH

“Nice severs now we know how they sold more PS3 last month lol ”

now THAT s**t was funny

xplosneer  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:39 am

@fireras

If you look in the fourth trailer it has clan stats, I’m fairly sure it’s in Warhawk.

deadxbabiesxinc  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:46 am

how come the website hasn’t been updated? We suggested alot of things for no reason?

eclipsed4utoo  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:47 am

what does demos and the PSN updates have to do with these dedicated servers for Warhawk? nothing? THEN QUIT POSTING ABOUT IT HERE. lord

deadxbabiesxinc  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:53 am

I’m gonna pray GRAW and Warhawk come out like scheduled…otherwise i’m just gonna go see all the new movies that are/have come out…atleast when they say the date they’ll be “released”, they ARE released.

Btw…how much are 360’s again? I might have to jump boat for awhile so I can atleast play something, they dropped in price a bit recently too right?

GAME-HERO  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:58 am

How did you guys get those photos of my GAMEROOM?

Just Kidding, It looks very impressive guys,

Thanks for doing this for us!

mobiletone  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:59 am

they look sweet, i had Warhawk back in the day on the PS1, nice to see we will be able to host our own games. and not get forced into a game like in Blazing Angles, i mean c’mon guys, BA is a good game, why ain’t more of you playing that online? i swear there’s only ever the same six people playing it. which is a shame, truely.

glad that Warhawk comes out after the wages enter the bank. phew. see you all in the battle zone.

9158  |  August 9th, 2007 at 10:59 am

@ Dylan Jobe

Dylan can you please post at least a part of the FAQ?

If we wait longer the game is gonna come out and the FAQ will be of little use…

Kratos_ate_Snake  |  August 9th, 2007 at 11:03 am

Loucifer…buddy

we all know where you are coming from, but saying it in that manner will get you no where. your message will be deleted, or even worse you could be banned.

Be a little more creative with your posts, say something rational and relevant like: “wow those servers are crazy, I can’t wait for Warhawk,” and then sneak in a complaint like “by the way where are my demos, did you loose the list with the check box already?”

you know it throws them of, you get to say what you wanted, and everyone is happy.

joshlovesps3  |  August 9th, 2007 at 11:03 am

warhawk looks so awsome and your making it even better [= thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!

the_culture  |  August 9th, 2007 at 11:17 am

@Kratos_ate_Snake

How’s this: wow warhawk looks awesome but i want more demos but i can’t wait for warhawk it looks sweet, sweet like if we had some news on Home, or the new SingStar mics, which reminders me of that time i was beta-testing warhawk and their was a player named “mic” which i thought was funny, but not funny ha-ha, funny kinda sad, like how we don’t have enough demos and 360 gets all the cool ones, but at least we’re getting warhawk.

Kratos_ate_Snake  |  August 9th, 2007 at 11:26 am

lol holy crap bro… best comment I have seen so far… awesome. hahaha

Speaking of warhawk, what’s up with stranglehold being indefinitely delayed, not like the awesome Lair which was only delayed a little bit but I want to play it so bad cause it looks amazing, unlike today’s store update that had no demos. OH my god check out how many PS3s are in those Pics, I can’t wait for Warhawk and more demos and Warhawk and Heavenly sword ep.2 and Warhawk is cool.

Skandulous  |  August 9th, 2007 at 11:32 am

rainbow six vegas makes the players host the room and server for their games and its utter garbage way to much lag i hope warhawk wont be as bad
