New Warhawk PS3 screens? No, Yager on XBox.

Saw this on gamefaq

Got this from a French forum! Looks like Sony is finally starting to release some new PS3 media as TGS approaches! :D


I think these are legit cause the damaged ship looks very similar to those massive battle ships in the teaser demo.

Looks pretty cool

hmm looks really different compared to the teaser trailer. I think they have implemented shaders now so the environments don't look dull. What happened to all those planes? Maybe the e3 vid was the visual target for the game?

Ha ha ha, that's not Warhawk at all. That is a game that was released on XBOX and PC known as Yager. The 4:3 aspect ratio should have given it away, though...

Are you talking about Yager, perhaps? (cool how I was the first one to mention it!)
 
Those "new" screens are from an older PC game, aren't they?

I swear I've seen them or something very similar before

edit: screw you guys :(

Aerial Strike: The Yager Missions
 
I found it on Gamespot, but I should have just waited a second. :P

Yeah, it's Yager alright. I remember trying a demo of that on the PC...
 
Um, can a mod change the subject title so another Warhawk fanatic doesn't have a stroke upon seeing it first thing in the fucking morning?

Thanks.
 
Yager is so underrated it isnt funny. it should have been released on xbox in NA.. such an awesome game. I prefer it over crimson skies.

It actually was released on xbox in NA, I have one. I like the game, there aren't too many flight games on consoles

Yager deserved to be more popular.

I played through BEA, quite a pretty game and very fun. I've been meaning to pick up Yager, and this is a good shot in the arm. I love arcadey flight games like this.

You should try Ace Combat IV it is much better than Yager. Yager was good until level 3 (the night level) and after that game falls apart, just no fun.
 
For the life of me I cannot figure out what's so impressive about that Warhawk 3 screen.

I mean, I LOVED the original Warhawk, and news of a new one coming is super-fantastic. But removing the HUD from those Yager screens, does it really look much different from the WH3 one?

*shrugs*

dude its a day and night differnce between the two. Yager can display about a dozen or so planes on screen at once with slowndows while Warhawk's engine can display as many as 2000. Right now warhawk is lacking shader effects and good textures.

Btw I also think warhawk is very early in development, it should look much better then next time we see it.
 
The only slowdowns I remember in Yager was the craft itself. While there's nothing wrong with a more deliberate flying game, the lack of speed in this one felt so frustrating. Like you were loping around beautiful scenery, but could never get up and go. The weapons are boring as well. I don't know, I see it has some devoted fans but the whole thing felt so uninspiring when I rented it.

And I don't doubt it will, but there's is absolutely nothing next-gen about that screen shot. It can render dozens of planes that have no detail (which i'm sure is due to lack of shaders, which'll be added later), half of which are just dots on the screen. What else is there to impress? Lighting looks flat, and the landscape is a joke.
 
Yager didnt have slowdowns, how dare thee.

But you are right the difference is pretty clear, 10x (at least) more objects on screen, and what looks like self shadowing on the bigger ships. Im sure theres lots of subtle things i dont know the names of as well.

They could do with hiring some of Yagers sky artists though.

I agree with you. Incognito isn't really known for graphics anyway :P Lets see what the final version looks like

So when did this Warhawk 2 that I missed come out? I'd love to pick it up.

:P

Who are you? Another insider? Please elaborate.

Sorry, not an insider. I only made that tongue-in-cheek comment because I found it so crazy that Yager screens were being passed off as PS3 Warhawk. I knew right away what the game was, and even if I hadn't, I'd never have believed that those were PS3 screens.

Plus, I think Iwata's quote is just plain funny.

But the bottom line is that I'm expecting PS3 to be a mighty beast. My gut tells me that its games, when they are revealed, will recalibrate all our expectations for the next generation.

Then when you factor in the weight of the Warhawk franchise (and it is a powerful franchise, even though there's only been one game), it seems clear to me that PS3 Warhawk will indeed make us say "wow."
 
The one actual Warhawk pic there wasn't particularly impressive when it wsa shown. It looks like Dropship on steroids really. Oddly enough, the FPS-looking part of the trailer was far more impressive. I hope Warhawk2 looks a lot better in the finished product, b/c the first thing that stands out in that pic there is the weak textures. Sure, there are a ton of planes, but the blurriness would kill the illusion instantly. It was definitely one of the rougher-looking trailers IMO. PEACE.

Fixed :) I don't see what 's impressive about the pic either. It looks horrible.
 
Yager is a great game, amazing graphics. Xbox version has no slowdowns in 60 Hz (PAL Xbox) using "1st person view". Sometimes a little tearing, but that's it. It was released in the US by Majesco (budget price) about a year later than in Europe.

Btw, :lol @ Yager = Warhawk 2
