The brand new warhawk patch finally been released. And this one is worth the download, whether you plan on playing it or not. The patch will add retroactive trophies. Meaning if you have already unlocked the trophy, you don't have to go through and do it again! In other good news, the patch also adds Jetpacks. That's right, the ones that let you fly! The jet packs will be dispensed in certain areas and only a certain amount are released at a time. That way you don't have every player battling...

"As revealed at Leipzig, Warhawk Operation: Fallen Star is coming this week. A new update on the PlayStation.blog confirms a few new details: like the 30 new map configurations, many of which accommodate the new jetpack. "In total there are 10 new layouts for Tau Crater and since the jetpack is a massive, game-changing addition to Warhawk, we included a crap-ton of bonus layouts for the original game too - there are 30 bonus layouts that add jetpacks into the Warhawk's original content.""

"Custom In-Game Music
This feature was asked for by a bazillion players! Now players can use the XMB music player to play their own custom music. Warhawk will also detect if you are using the XMB player and automatically disable the in-game Warhawk music. Convenience for the win!

XMB Trophies
I have talked about this several times before so this is by no means new-news…especially with the recent leak of our full trophy list – gotta love the internets. BTW, the team and I are really flatte..."

"Aerial Ballet -- While flying a jetpack, kill an enemy (who is also flying a jetpack) with any weapon other than the Rocket Launcher.

Are You Aim-Botting? -- Snipe an enemy who is flying a jetpack.

That Was Some Bug -- Kill an enemy who is flying a jetpack by hitting him with any vehicle or aircraft."

"When it comes to the Sony PS3 trophies is a very hot topic especially when it comes to Warhawk trophies, well we have some great news for you.

The highly popular online multiplayer game “Warhawk” will boast trophies by the end of this month, August 27 to be exact. Reports from SCEE say’s that the patch 1.5 will release on this date, we are hoping this will be a worldwide release.

There will be well over 50 Trophies to collect, of course dependant on the number of expansion packs you hav..."

"Sony is, however, yet to date the bundle, which currently sits on a 'TBC' release, so we don't expect it to appear in this week's update. Some time this month though, hopefully."

"Tournament registration is already underway and will continue until June 29th. The competition officially starts on May 27th and will run until July 27th. Teams are already forming and playing in the practice ladder.

GGL is running this tournament so please hit their site for info and any questions you or your clan may have.

On a semi-related note, the team and I have been pretty quiet lately…it’s not because we have gone away! We’re just cranking away on our next FREE update for all of..."

"When we reported on the PSN Release Schedule leak story and the possible truth behind it, the dates and content listed were still only speculation. After recent revelations, it’s now clear that the schedule is in fact true.

The leaked European document was always potentially credible due to the correct date given to Warhawk: Operation Broken Mirror. Thanks to our very own Kelsey Hart’s digging into the Ratchet: Quest for Booty item on the list, further concrete reliability was added to the..."

"I'm curious to know how the model for payment and UI for PSN has been evolving over the year-plus, and where it's going in the future in terms of simplification of interface and all of that to help digital games get distribution easier.

John Hight: You're talking about on the network platform itself, and the store?

Yeah.

JH: I'm not the best person to answer that. I'll answer what I know, but we actually have some folks who are specifically responsible for that.

We give them a lot..."

"While Home for the PlayStation 3 may have generated plenty of buzz for Sony at last year's Game Developers Conference, its late arrival and the setting in of reality may have made it put a damper on the hype surrounding the service. We've had our doubts that Home may ultimately be nothing more than a prettier Second Life, a glorified 3D chat room, one that only makes getting to the games we actually want to play a bit of a chore. But we've recently learned some very interesting things about h..."

"What does the Warhawk v1.3 free update bring? Along with two new troop weapons, there’s an easier way to set up matches with your friends, trash talk with your enemy, and oh, just a little thing called Home integration…

Yes, you heard me right. Home integration will be coming with v1.3 and the game’s creator, Dylan Jobe, tells us how this will exactly work. With the release of v1.3 patch, players will be able to form groups, meet in their Home apartments, discuss tactics, and then launch a..."

"Not to be outdone by its rivals, Sony has bolstered its online store with a pretty decent smattering of new content. Leading the way in this latest update is PSone classic Warhawk, which will set fans back a modest $5.99 USD, while free playable demos of Snakeball and BlackSite: Area 51 are also available for those looking to take titles for a test run."

"Hey Everyone!

Many of you may have seen it announced on other websites but...

Our Omega Dawn Booster pack will be available for purchase on the PlayStation Store December 20th World-Wide!!

Also, our free v1.2 game patch will be made available world-wide for all of you on December 19th at 10:00 GMT...that's 2am Pacific. We will also be having a scheduled maintenace window form 10:00 to 16:00 GMT. Basically for us to roll-out the new patch. Please also note that while you will not be a..."

As some may Remember, Warhawk was originally a classic PS1 game. Recently, Warhawk for PSP and PS3 has appeared on the ESRB website with an E rating. Could this mean that Sony is going to release a downloadable version of Warhawk over the Playstation Network? It wouldn't be too surprising, considering the success of the Playstation 3 version of the game.

"As previously report, the ad­don pack adds 3 key things to Warhawk: a new map called "Omega Factory", a new aircraft called "KT-424 Combat Dropship", and modifications of the five original layouts. The addon pack is currently going through global testing and is still on schedule for a December release. The patch will be a free download while the addon pack will cost $7.99."

"The battle began this August when Warhawk™ went online on PLAYSTATION®Network (PSN). Since then, the fighting has spanned the globe as PLAYSTATION®3 (PS3™) gamers of all nationalities battle for supremacy in this world of multiplayer military confrontation. Whether you’re fending for yourself or enlisting in a team of Eucadian or Chernovan forces to wage war on foot, at the controls of a tank or from the cockpit of the fearsome Warhawk, there’s non-stop action ahead in Warhawk – a..."

"UPDATE: For those players that downloaded the patch and got the crap-tastic authorization problem, you will unfortuatnely need to re-download Warhawk and then re-patch. This is only for players that got "bum" patch. From here on out, players that patch will not run into the same issue.

We will continue to monitor the deployment and respond quickly to any critical issues that arise!"

"Hey everyone, its been awhile since I last made a post here. The team and I have been cranking away on support and updates for Warhawk and I thought it’d be a good idea to give you all an update as to what the hell we’ve been up to.

So … since my last post, we’ve launched Warhawk in South-East Asia, Korea and Japan — which now means our community spans 15 different languages!



We’ve also been working on a lot of fixes, server-side updates and client patches. Because lets face it, wh..."

"Many in the gaming world saw this as a test for the digital distribution market. And from early returns, most would say it was a success. As of early this week, moret han 100,000 people had registered with the “Warhawk” network, making it the fastest-selling game to date on the PlayStation 3."

Just when you started to think that Japanese consumers get a better deal on everything when it comes to Japanese Console Games... well you'd better think again, as this proves that living in Japan doesn't always mean that you will get all the games that are released (as is the case with Square-Enix and their need to re-release an updated game).

Warhawk which is being sold in the US and Europe (well will eventually) as either a downloadable off the PSN or a Blu-Ray game will only be coming...

"It may seem that, the PS3 cluster server isn’t able to handle this much of a crowd of Warhawk players, and now many of them are getting mad over trying to find an uncrowded server."

"It’s all been a bit quiet on the PlayStation 3 front for Sony this year, with major attention getter Metal Gear Solid 4 being pushed back into 2008, Home apparently not yet ready, and Little Big Planet also tantalisingly just out of reach.

However, that doesn’t mean the Japanese electronics giant is lacking for ‘oomph’ titles between now and when the above titans do finally arrive… and Warhawk is believed to be one of them. So jump in your virtual cockpit, power up your review engines and ..."

"A member of the MaxConsole forums recently set-up a thread in which he told the community that WarHawk is suffering from freezing glitches. He has played the game three times and two times he had to stop playing because the game froze on him. However, he is not the ONLY one, a quick check on the Official Playstation Board, Gametrailers and Gamespot reveals more gamers reporting the issue on both Blu-ray and PSN versions of the title. An early poll on GT's forums reveals that 35/126 participan..."

"When Warhawk was announced two years ago, the game featured a significant focus upon a single player storyline that cast a large spotlight on the Sixaxis controller and what it could potentially do for games."

"We must take steps to protect the investment we have made in our products. The development costs of Warhawk are no different than any other boxed game you might find from SCEA at retail. Couple that with the cost to maintain a continuous online gameplay environment and you can understand the investment we have made in Warhawk. Not utilizing this new DRM strategy could open the company up to losses that could jeopardize our ability to allow free online gameplay across the PlayStation Network."

"I started the game up and the first thing it did was install itself to my hard drive. After checking it reserved 789MB for itself. So for those of you hoping to save some space, don't bother with buying the blu-ray."

"PlayStation have just issued the following announcement

“We have just received information that the next PS Store update, which will contain Warhawk, will be Thursday 30th August and not Tuesday 28th August as previously announced. As you know Thursday is the usual day for our PS Store refresh. We are sorry for any inconvenience that the extra 48 hours wait may cause.”"

"One thing the Playstation 3 has an abundance of are over the top action titles from Resistance Fall of Man to GRAW2. This aint a bad thing by any means, so when we hear that the development team behind the outrageous Twisted Metal series where bringing back Warhawk to our beloved console, we certainly had something to be excited about. Warhawk is Sony Computer Entertainments answer to the lack of air to ground flight titles currently available across all platforms this generation and are hopi..."

"QUESTION: Does Warhawk support a “Party System” like Resistance:FoM?

ANSWER: Thanks for clarifying “Holy_Diver” … unfortunately no, we do not in the same way. When you are playing split-screen we drop the whole group in to the game but I’m pretty sure that’s not what you were looking for."

"Hi Everyone – It’s been a while since I’ve made a post, but since some of you guys posted comments wanting me to jump back on, *and* the very interesting pricing debate/discussion that has been going on recently, well … here I am with a couple of important updates!?

First off, has Warhawk gone “gold”??

Hells Ya! The PSN and Blu-ray versions have gone “GOLD,” completely finished and will go on sale August 28th … just a few weeks away! We’re all really proud of the game, and those of you ..."

"WarHawk, one of the most anticipated title's for the PS3 has finally received a release date for later this summer. WarHawk is releasing to both the PSN store and shipping to retailer store shelves this August 22nd. The Blu-Ray version of the game will be priced at 59.99$ USD."

"With Sony's press conference in the past, we've created a roundup of all the small, but significant, announcements and confirmations. This year, Sony allowed very little time for the audience to ponder and absorb, so a lot of the groundbreaking revelations were not emphasised. This was of course a good thing, as it showed that Sony had a lot of things to say. So aside from the major announcements, such as MGS4, Haze and UT3 exclusivity, here are the other tidbits:

- 200 games on Blu-ray an..."

"The prizefight between these two powerful works-in-progress pits Sony ’s big online-only affair against Microsoft’s multiplayer addiction. Which sandbox game takes the prize in beta form? Matt Swider of Gaming Target judges the public betas of these system sellers in 12 rounds."

"UPDATE: Sony's released an official statement that confirms the $59.99 price tag for Warhawk, but doesn't specify what's happening with the downloadable version. For that, we'll have to wait a little longer.

The highly anticipated title Warhawk, a PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive, will be available both as a downloadable title via PLAYSTATION Network and at retail stores as a Blu-ray disc on August 28, 2007. The Blu-ray version will retail at stores for $59.99 and will be bundled with a Jabra Bluet..."
