Warkhawk dev drop hints about Starhawk, comments on PS3 memory
Fans of Warkhawk will jump for joy as the developers behind the popular aerial dog-fighting game are making some progress on their next game. The next title has been speculated to be a space faring game called Starhawk.
Dylan Jobe recently twitted [via Examiner] that progress on the next big title by LightBox Interactive is going well. The rumored title, Starhawk has been under wraps and has not been officially announced yet.
He tweeted:
We deliver another milestone to SONY today. Very happy with the progress. So many systems coming into place — w00t!
*GONG* Milestone is delivered to SONY — Always so impressed with the work our LightBox Interactive team cranks out!
Jobe also commented on the recent move by Sony in freeing up an additional 70MB of XDR ram.
He tweeted:
That memory makes a big difference — all the teams working on PS3 love it when SONY opens more RAM.
I’m curious as to how this game is shaping up. It is speculated to come with a full blown single player story unlike Warkhawk. Interestingly enough It was unintentionally revealed that Starhawk would have a single player campaign via a job description a while back. It would be neat if the developers did a throw back to Wing Commander.

I have Warhawk sitting in my collection, but for some reason, I haven’t even got around to TRYING it yet
. Not sure if I ever will, with MW2 keeping me occupied.
March 2nd, 2010
Does anybody know what the deal is with IW?
Something about bouncers showing up at the building, and senior figures dissappearing?
Is it supoosed to be some sort of publicity stunt for something?
March 2nd, 2010
@ Virus,
IGN have something on that. It’s still a bit of a mystery as to what’s actually going on there. We’ll probably find out in a few days I bet.
March 2nd, 2010
Hopefully it’s just a publicity stunt but for some reason I doubt it.
March 2nd, 2010
Starhawk?!?!
So were getting a remake of that NES era gem Captain Starhawk?
*Lots of Sarcasm*
March 2nd, 2010
Didn’t warhawk have an add on that made kind of “starhawk” like?
March 2nd, 2010
idk about the add ons.
I picked up Warhawk late. It’s not the prettiest looking game, but it’s really fun. I think a lot of people still play it also.
March 2nd, 2010
Off Topic:
Game to make the best use of waiting for an install – Heavy Rain.
I won’t spoil it for anyone, but it was very creative and pretty fun
March 2nd, 2010
yeah, I hear it has ridiculous load times.
March 2nd, 2010
“Game to make the best use of waiting for an install – Heavy Rain.”
Solitaire?
March 2nd, 2010
CALLING ALL HALO FANS.
Oh My Goodness I can’t believe this crept up on me and I didn’t even know. Tomorrow is Halo Reach Beta. Apparently there is supoose to be some Kind of MP Bomb announcement today. Oh I don’t think I’ll be at work tomorrow.
March 2nd, 2010
Not the biggest Halo fan but think my friend has the beta so might check it out CAD
March 2nd, 2010
No the load times aren’t that bad. They actually do some creative stuff with the loads times in game also though.
And it’s better than solitaire.
March 2nd, 2010
What do they do BJ?
March 2nd, 2010
I gave up on Warhawk early, last year. That game has outlived it’s age.
March 2nd, 2010
Warhawk was pretty fun….it just came out too early during the PS3 life cycle when online-only games wasn’t pretty popular
March 2nd, 2010
There is a piece of paper packed in with the instruction booklet. As you wait for the game to install, they give you step by step instructions to creating your very own origami crane (like in the game).
Simple, but original and creative. The game finished installing before I was done. I even took some extra time to finish it up.
March 2nd, 2010
Another great developer team under Sony’s betl.
Sony has just acquired “Media Molecule” (LittleBigPlanet creators)
“Under the SCE Worldwide Studios umbrella, Media Molecule joins the likes of Naughty Dog, Evolution Studios, Guerrilla Games, Polyphony Digital, SCE Japan, SCE Santa Monica and Zipper Interactive.”
March 2nd, 2010
I wonder what they’ve been up to. The PSP game was outsourced, so they really haven’t been working on anything major lately. Must be something in the works.
March 2nd, 2010
In other media molecule news, The game has sold over 3 million and has 2 million user created maps.
Yes….I said 2 million.
That is F’in insane!!!!!!
March 2nd, 2010
I think Quantic Dream might be next…or maybe Infinity Ward who supposedly got cut loose by Activision (rumor)
March 2nd, 2010
IW won’t get cut loose. But it would be great to see all of IW leave after the firing of its Execs and open up a new studio. And make that studio Sony exculsive
They’ll lose the COD name, but that didn’t stop them from making great games after they left the Medal of Honor franchise and EA years ago.
March 2nd, 2010
Bobby Kotick strikes again. The man is concentrated evil I tells ya.
March 2nd, 2010
These two guys co founded IW. If times were better (recession) I’m sure a lot of the original people would have followed them out the door.
Then Treyarch would be left to outright ruin the franchise.
Activision has been making some blunders. This and shutting down Red Octane. Asses!
March 2nd, 2010
now Sony has the largest 1st party studio and they are pretty much covering every single genre
March 2nd, 2010

March 2nd, 2010
A Sony Sequel to be announce for the first time on Thursday
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/episode-306-gametrailers-tv/62542
March 2nd, 2010

-Resistance 3
-Killzone 3
-Infamous 2
-Twisted Metal
-Starhawk
-Demon’s Souls 2
-Socom 4
-Syphon Filter 5
-Sly 4
March 3rd, 2010
Starhawk or resistance 3 is my guess roca.
March 3rd, 2010
@CAD
*post deleted
Do not post entire articles into the comments section. It would suck to institute a character limit.
March 3rd, 2010
What’s Warkhawk?
March 3rd, 2010
a great game that came out a couple of years prior to your ownership of a ps3.
It’s a great and all, but definitely old news.
Not sure how many ppl are still playing it anymore.
March 3rd, 2010
haha I know about Warhawk, I was just having a dig at Mike’s spelling.
March 3rd, 2010
nice one Harry!
I thought I was the only one with dyslexia
March 3rd, 2010
That’s weird that I missed that. Im usually a stickler for spelling.
March 3rd, 2010
But I’m hoping for a twisted metal announcement more than anything.
March 3rd, 2010
“But I’m hoping for a twisted metal announcement more than anything”
me too, but I think it’s going to be Resistance 3 or Starhawk just like you said, specially when after Dylan (the man behind Warhawk) said “We deliver another milestone to SONY today”
March 3rd, 2010
I hear it’s supposed to be a “surprising sequel”
In that case that eliminates.
-Resistance 3
-Killzone 3
-inFamous 2
and opens the door a bit for maybe
-Twisted Metal
-Syphon Filter
-Starhawk
-SOCOM 4
Whatever it is there has to be enough for a premiere trailer.
March 3rd, 2010
only a few hours until we find out
March 3rd, 2010
“only a few hours until we find out”
Is it or are we stuck waiting until Friday morning?
March 3rd, 2010
Media Molecule – “The studio was founded in January 2006 by former members of Lionhead Studios, a subsidiary of Microsoft Games Studio.
On 2 March 2010, Sony Computer Entertainment (SCE) announced that it had acquired Media Molecule”
March 3rd, 2010
@Phranc
I thought they the trailer will air on Thurdays at 12:30am…so basically just a little past midnight tonight
March 3rd, 2010
They also said Thursday night leading me to believe they are considering 12:30AM friday morning as Thursday “night”.
It would be on par as to how the GOW3 video surfaced right? Didn’t that appear to us on Friday morning?
Blorge has the news of that for Saturday, so the day behind thing works
March 3rd, 2010
hey Phranc…
While looking for the official schedule of GTTV on Spike I found out what the “surprising sequel” is going to be…here is a quote from their website:
“GameTrailers TV with Geoff Keighley
Mar 4, 2010 @ 12:34 AM
In this episode GTTV goes to DICE in Las Vegas to bring you new details behind the upcoming Hammerhead DLC for Mass Effect 2, never-before-seen footage and details for Transformers: War for Cybertron, and we chat with Blizzard about StarCraft II. Plus, we showcase a new trailer for SOCOM 4 and we also preview the first footage of Puzzle Quest 2!”
maybe Mike should be the first one to post an article about it and give some credit to Roca
March 3rd, 2010
here is the link:
http://www.spike.com/show/20265
March 3rd, 2010
WOW.
SOCOM fans rejoice. I just don’t know when Zipper would have gotten a chance to make anything being tied up with MAG
March 3rd, 2010
“SOCOM fans rejoice”
indeed
now im really looking forward to this game.
March 3rd, 2010
I meant to say:
now im really looking forward to this [trailer]*
March 4th, 2010
So tonight it is. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be a PSP game. They talked all about PS3 games when they teased it.
@Roca.
I couldn’t find the SOCOM 4 tidbit you posted. Someone on another site seemed to have insider info and they made it sound like it was a racing game, with a description closer to a new Motorstorm game. Of course they were mentioning destruction and vehicles so my fingers are still crossed for Twisted Metal!!!!
March 4th, 2010
click on the above link then click on the “schedule” tab
March 4th, 2010
Can’t get to that from work, and my phone will only connect to their mobile site which doesn’t have a description.
March 4th, 2010
Phranc – “So tonight it is. Hopefully it doesn’t turn out to be a PSP game. They talked all about PS3 games when they teased it”
it must be a high profile PS3 game because Geoff Keighley tweeted “You’ve seen Uncharted 2, Heavy Rain and God of War 3, but wait until you see what Sony has next”
March 4th, 2010
Geoff that friggin’ Hype Machine!!!
March 4th, 2010
They just managed to cram ten times the ducks into that bath, that’s all.
March 4th, 2010
We’ll See tonight what it is.
it’s probably a 10 second trailer that is just being hyped
March 5th, 2010
Just a teaser. I recorded it and watched it this morning.
Mafia 2 looked pretty good.
