A Unique Shooter/RTS Hybrid with Space Cowboys | Starhawk

Really proud of your restraint in not making a "THE DEAD SPEAK" joke during that Mass Effect bit.

[@ex-whitemale1099]

This game's brilliant concept of a Shooter/RTS hybrid could only truly shine in a multiplayer setting. I especially enjoyed the capture the flag mode, where 32 players would run around creating whole damn bases around their flag positions, fortifying it with bunkers, surrounded by wall-mounted turrets, covered by sniper towers, protected by force fields and anti-aircraft guns below them. And building your own base was kinda fun on its own, but going inside of the enemy base and getting back alive was a whole another experience. Very enjoyable gameplay. Imagine how such a game concept would look on the current generation of consoles/

[@amanchoosesaslaveobeys6510]

They honestly should make another one or reboot heck I'll take a remaster even

[@theDemolisher13]

Starhawk was in many ways ahead of it's time. I would love to see a remastered version of it released for PS5 & Steam. Also they should also undo CTF update that made it so you can cap the flag while your flag is in the enemy hands.

[@theinvertedpineapple942]

same i wish they made a updated version of this game or atleast i wish someone else made a game like this

[@jayonlineslotz]

My favorite multiplayer of all time as well. I still cannot believe they haven't rebooted or even remastered this for PS5, it would look insane. I really miss spending countless hours everyday playing online. There will never be another game like this

[@gimmiebanana5560]

The ability to deploy turrets, a character who has weird blue markings on their arm, Halo inspired driving, and Oboe complaining about the endless deserts and happy to get away from them? I guess you could say Oboe was bored-a-lands.

[@Blowjay69420]

Starhawk sounds like a video game title from an early 2000s Disney Channel original movie in which the main character invites his friends over to his house in the suburb that's about to be demolished to make way for a new shopping mall. They're then woken up early in the morning to the sounds of construction after an all-nighter playing Starhawk, and they then decide enough is enough. Complete with loads of references to the main character (low moment; "billy think! What would main character do!?") BIG REVEAL STARHAWK WAS REAL THE WHOLE TIME AND HELPS THE KIDS TAKE DOWN THE COWBOY HAT WEARING TEXAS OIL BARON

[@thebiggerfish9526]

Holy shit, General Blueguy is voiced by the guy who voiced Ulysses in New Vegas! I recognized him the second he said “We share the same scars, the same blood,” and I half expected him to prattle on about the Bear and the Bull!

I regret not getting this game in its day, it actually looks good. It was not a popular game at all, but I used to play Warhawk a lot in the early days of PSN

[@deepspacemelody]

Me and my best friend have very fond memories of the starhawk multiplayer when we were younger. Thank you for playing it

[@aceofhearts573]

I miss Starhawk. Game bombed so hard when it came out. I am also still salty because Wargawk for the PS3 never came out with a campaign even though they showed it on E3 2006.... you could fight flying battleships and aircraft carriers. Looked amazing

Killing stuff in cutscenes when you are not supposed to is one of the funniest things ever.

there's a little known game called Chrome and in one of the missions, a jeep comes to pick you up in a cutscene, but you can stand in its way before the cutscene starts, and then the cutscene shows you getting ran over and you loose

Starhawk was the sequel to Warhawk, which was a fairly fun multiplayer game on PS3 towards the beginning I think. I remember being so hyped for Starhawk because it had building. I also liked the main character and the concept just seemed similar to Warhawk. It was these massive battles where you could crew vehicles and .. I mean, it's just like any big team battle game. I don't know what happened with Starhawk though. It jkinda dropped off.

Yea, it really was the multiplayer that made the 'hawk games. Warhawk didn't even have a campaign but it came with a free bluetooth earpiece.

[@sylonogwailou]

This game was so good in it's beta, everybody would work together to build up sick bases and would try to raid each other. Then they gave the airship a shield destroying bomb and then that's all anyone would do.

[@TaimatCR]

I remember getting this game about a year before the servers closed and I was so hyped to play the mp but my internet was so shitty I couldn't connect or finish a game once it connected so I just stopped trying to play it, but I have been playing the campaign recently

The single player was mediocre but I had the joy of playing this game in its closed multiplayer testing for 6 months leading up to its official release and beyond. When you were in the middle of a competitive 32 player CTF match with base building and vehicles roaming across the map, it was one of the most unique experiences in a multiplayer shooter ever.

[@otakufreak2617]

Honestly I rented this game around when it came out and kind of enjoyed it. It would've been nice if it had a wave survival mode like mw3, halo firefight, etc. Like u play as a random grunt and try to get a base set up with constant waves. Allocate resources to make walls, structures, defenses, or call reinforcements to secure the base. Have a little rts in the game while u still can go out and fight A.I. bases or organize friendly A.I. raids. Idk, I like rts games and it would've given me alot of replay value

Starhawk was good, but perhaps before it’s time… it did a lot… but I didn’t feel like it knew what it wanted to be…because it tried to do a lot…. A lot… and not well, but just enough to win our hearts, and possibly intrigue us with the future of its potential.
