Isn't 6.5 extremely low? Even for a crappy review? oO I mean, from what I've been reading from the beta players it seemed like a 8+ game. And for 30€.

Ah, but as said, PSM mentions the price in the review, as a negative. Only of course the price mentioned is the price of the version sold in stores as opposed to the PSN version. Dodgy review ahoy.

Is PSM that magazine that once had a Gears ad?

Not sure, but I think OXM & PSM are owned by the same publishing group.
Does anyone know, out of curiosity? Again no conspiracy theories here, so don't start that
stuff please!
Thats fuckin lame! Just out of curiosity since OXM and PSM are supposedly owned by the same company what did OXM give ShadowRun?

joke site how? :eek:

it was a question keep your lil sarcasm to a minimum, and the fact that reviews shouldn't be a deciding factor on purchases stands.

they reviewed bioshock and was raving about the ps3 version being better in every way. :lol they have to be a joke site.

anyway, i never played the beta but, how is the map focused, is it 34 in the sky and 34 on ground troops, or just all for one in the sky then you can just land then fight., i was wondering how its done for awhile.

It's 32 players (at most 16vs16), and air/ground combat happening simultaneously. It depends on the map; some encourage flight combat (destroyed capital, archipelago), some for ground combat (a certain small level in the badlands), and others a mixture of both (island outpost, eucadia).

GAFe is now full!

The remaining CST people (krypt0nian, Aleman, Leehom, acevans2, and typoEDR) are now in GAFw.

The remaining pending more info people (sk3tch, Mifune, justjohn, Dizzan, GeoramA, spwolf, rubso, Thunderbear, J-Rzez, DemonSwordsman, Sirolf, jda1977) have been placed in GAFw till I get clarification of their timezone or in DCharlie's case, his preference.

GAFw has 1 spot open.
GAFe is full.
GAFu has plenty of room for more Euro gaffers.


What should be done if more gaffers want to join a U.S. GAF clan? Start a third clan?

Link to roster.

The box set is the way to go, unless you're interested in sharing the game with friends.

For $20 more you get

The game on disc
The manual
That nice box
Any extra stuff they put on the disc
The Jabra Bluetooth headset
And the ability to trade the game in about 10yrs (seriously you'll be playing that long)

I know how you feel. I finally decided to get the retail after seeing the Gamestop 10% off coupon. If that stacks with my employee discount, It will only cost me 48 bucks :D

I predict another Resistance (press: bad, players: awesome)

Press seriously doesn't have a clue about how to properly review games anymore. Expecially online games which require quite a bit of testing in a populated environment (which you can hardly find when there are just a bunch of jurnos online with the review code).

I was lucky enough to partecipate to the beta so when the review code arrived all I had to do was check improvements and whatnot for my review.

Gave the game a top score of course :)

I don't get it, the gameplay was awesome, technically the engine ran flawlessly, network-wise it was bugging out during the beta but that should be fixed, what more is to be expected from an online-only title?

With 32 players, unless it's a warhawk only deathmatch, you can seamlessly go from air to ground combat whether it's TDM or CTF.

Do you guys think the PSN version will override the Icon on the XMB for the beta? (ie. just one Warhawk icon after I purchase the PSN version)

I'd still like to see Sony offer up a download of the original PS1 Warhawk for free to anyone who buys the new one.

Either ghosts of single-player past, or excuses to drum up controversy for variable pricing of multiple SKUs.

I would assume it would be overwritten, if not you can just delete the beta icon.

Delete the beta, it is useless now. Incognito said the version you will be downloading is new data.

Even the beta itself had a TON of playability, I don't see why the game would get criticized for the value it provides. I wonder if they added a short single player campaign whether the game would get hammered for that.

You're preaching to the converted, Kitton. I think between the scrapped SP and unconventional pricing/delivery model for the game, it's just going to have bear being a lightning rod for the more sensationalist controversy that game journos want to throw at it.

How are we going to decide clan nights & times? When will the invites be sent out?

Now that the clans are mostly full it is a good time for us to start discussing this. I will be home by around 9:30pm EST on the 28th so I will pop in my copy and start setting up the clan and sending out invites then. I figure we can have some clan skirmishes well into the night and the next day. I would like to have our first "official" matchup on Thursday the 30th since it will give folks time to:

A. Get a copy of the game and accept their invite. (Who knows if the PSN will explode)
B. Play around and get a feel for the controls and gametypes
C. Figure out who has the best connection to host servers.
D. Read this thread and develop hatred for the other clans :D (Safe Bet will be the instigator...
this I guarantee!
)

How does 10pm EST on the 30th sound for the west coast folks? Late enough for most of you to get home I would think. We will have to get a roll call to find out how many people will be there since we can only do 16 v 16 at any time. We can discuss the finer details as we get closer to to the 30th.

GAF WOWHAWK showdown tentative date and time:

Thursday, August 30th
10pm EST

Let me what you think.

As for GAFw (read: the most awesomest clan to step foot into the digital realm):

I'll be sending out invites Day One and then trying to get everyone agreed on playtimes via the forums asap.

Has there been any word if the retail package can be installed onto the Harddrive? I want the headset, but only if I can play without having the disc in there.

America can fill 2 clans and Europe can't even get half way.

I know a solution... bitch and moan at the US blog. :lol

Wow, what a stupid move considering the game can be downloaded off the PSN. I guess its the PSN version for me then.

Not stupid for them. If all you had to do was download it off disc, can you imagine how many kids would install it and then hand it off around the neighborhood for all their friends to take advantage of.

What about including a serial code or something like that so it can be downloaded to the harddrive if you wanted, or you could just play it off the disk. I wasn't just talking about put the disc in, download it and then sell the game off(I'm not that stupid :lol )

I agree with everything. I especially like the idea of having some time for in clan skirmishes.

And Thursday (30th) match up against the GAFw at 10pm(EST) is a great idea.
