Warhawk preview - PlayStation 3

When you take to the battlefield with Warhawk, the new PS3 game from the creators of Gods of War, later this summer, you won't be fighting alone. Warhawk is an online only game for the PlayStation Network, and you'll be able to play in groups of up to 32 gamers at once. We've had a hands-on preview of Warhawk this month, and we like what we see - lots of different combat scenarios, a variety of battle disciplines to master, and lots and lots of weapons. We've even got some in-game footage for you to see for yourself. Check out our hands-on Warhawk preview for PlayStation 3now to find out more.

Warhawk preview for PlayStation 3
Can you sum up Warhawk in five words? How about “Battlefield with an arcade edge”? God of War creators Incognito Inc have taken all the core gameplay elements of the megaselling PC franchise, stripped out all the niggly realistic bits and replaced them with all the accessibility and playability inherent in the best arcade games.
Warhawk is an internet-only title, with up to 32 players hooking up to PlayStation Network servers in order to participate simultaneously in a beautifully realised virtual battlezone. All the usual online shooter game modes are here: deathmatches, team deathmatches, capture the flag, territory wars – along with a special dogfighting game variation designed to leverage the best out of Warhawk’s superb aerial combat system.
Although up to 32 PS3 owners can compete against each other on the largest servers, there’s also support for smaller bands of gamers, with the action then taking place on a smaller subset of the main map. The idea is simple: Warhawk scales its colossal environments to best suit the amount of players and the game type you’ve chosen. The result? A superbly balanced experience that can be adapted to suit all gaming circumstances.
