Speaking of downloadable games, I’ve been really impressed with what I’ve seen of the latest Warhawk video, especially the on foot sections. I remember the last time I saw Warhawk’s on foot sections last year, I was shocked at how bad they looked. It seems as though they’ve completely turned it around and made it more like a FPS only with a 3rd person viewpoint, if you get what I mean. The way the character moves is reminiscent of a FPS. It also looks a lot more arcadey:
After what I saw from Warhawk last year and the news it was going to be a downloadable game, I’d dismissed it all together. Now that Ive seen the above video and experienced online multiplayer for the first time with Resistance and MotorStorm (and how much fun it can be), I’m definitely interested in Warhawk now. I just hope it has global servers as I’m still unable to play against anybody outside of the EU/PAL regions.

Wow! Being on foot and trying to shoot down a warhawk looks fun! (sarcastic) but will be fixed when the game is released, right. I can’t wait to buy it.

Yeah the camera angle was a bit crappy at the end but it should be fixed before it’s release. It reminds me of TimeSplitters for some reason, maybe because of the way he runs.

I couldn’t disagree more. I thought the old videos looked awesome: epic large scale battles with both action and strategy. And the new videos look like just a Battlefield clone. A very pretty clone, but still just another clone.

The real news here is that Gary is becoming an online convert.

It’s true! Well partially. It’s a lot more fun when it’s with people you know (whether you know them online or offline doesn’t matter). Against some random people with names like Darkforce1745354536, it starts to lose some of it’s appeal.

This game will be a sorts of fun. If this game is supposed to be a down load, then why Iam I able to reserve the game at EBgames.
