Greetings from Cologne, Germany. Moments after we wrapped up our PlayStation gamescom press event, Dylon Jobe and I jumped in front of the camera and did what he does best, talk Starhawk. Lightbox Interactive and Santa Monica Studios finally revealed the much anticipated space level and fan favorite from Warhawk; the jetpack (with some new bells and whistles.)
Make sure to watch all three minutes of our interview for the quick skinny for the latest on Starhawk at gamescom — for a more in-depth look, keep an eye out for Jeff’s feature from his behind close door session with Dylan Jobe, coming up this week.

Was hoping it was the APC/Tank !!! *hint* *hint*
Cool stuff none the less – I dub this map Archipelago IN SPACE !!!!

Rey, were you shooting stuff by yourself? The foreground looks like it’s a bit out of focus.

Sony pull your thumb out of your as$ and fix the web browser, it is now impossible to watch anything on the 4od app because the web browser collapses and says “there is not enough memory. the window content was replaced with a blank page.”

@V_Ben
“Strap it on and go”
That need’s to make the packaging,or a line in the game.

Looks good but I’m still hoping for cruisers like in the early warhawk footage.

This looks splendid, will buy it for sure.
But please consider making a new COLONY WARS, Studio Liverpool could revive this franchise as they did with WipEout!
Posted on 19 August, 2011 at 7:38 pm by Harvard Bonin
ahhh Colony Wars. That brings back good memories. This isn’t that but hopefully we’ll scratch your space combat itch.

@davie222 most of the stuff you say is a lie and 70% of it doesn’t even make sense so just go away

please be respectful

dear rey, as you are a senior social media specialist, can you explain tge following
On gamescon 2011 mr house showed online tv channels, of which 1 was NOS, however since firmware 3.70 that channel has been removed
Isn’t that misleading your customers?
In gamescom 2009 was promissed that the videostore was released all over europe in 2010, however as stated on this blog wk 52-2010, its gonna be 2011,
Since again this is a promiss, can you tell the loyal customers, when in the remaining 4 months we can expect it.

@ wezer1871
Unfortunately SONY will show the majority of exclusives that are due for release, to showcase what the PS3 can offer & acheive!
You have to think of it from a business point of view.
If you would like to see Skyrim etc you will have to check youtube or XBOX360 sites i’m afraid.
I would love a Saints row: The Third interview with facts etc but it isn’t going to happen I think
Skyrim looks amazing!!
I can’t decide on Deus EX, Dead Island or Resistance 3 for my next purchase??
Now that Resistance 3 BETA has been fixed, the Multiplayer is fantastic! I feel that all the trophy whores out there will let this game down, as there are only COOP & Campaign related trophies, so Multiplayer may be dead early, which is a shame but we’ll see
Posted on 19 August, 2011 at 7:43 pm by Harvard Bonin
All look good. I can say from experience that R3 is pretty great. Reminds me of the original

This looks so awesome.. Warhawk was nice too but the controlls felt a little clunky (except the flying).. This looks more like a traditional tps that controlls the way we expect it to..The space battles look amazing, this is definitely gonna hold it’s own in between the other multiplayer shooters..
Posted on 19 August, 2011 at 7:36 pm by Harvard Bonin
I think you’ll find that we’ve really refined the controls and gameplay. Warhawk is around 4 years old now so we’ve really learned alot since then

In case you all haven’t seen the leaked B roll footage of the gameplay http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4KAiPUbHkfA

By the way, I am the Senior Producer on Starhawk, in case you were wondering why some random guy was replying to your comments

Even though I’ve cut back on my Warhawk time since I lost my commander rank (no idea why) -_-, I am really excited about this game. Don’t forget the Collectors Edition
